Brother Tawheed, what exactly do you mean by Literal let's assume we take the arabic words Wajh Yad Ayn in a Literal way these words have multiple meanings in the arabic language since we don't delve into their meanings we leave them to Allah but Salafi's by saying YES it's literal Allah has a Wajh Yad Ayn in a Literal way that's also a form of interpretation and delving into the meaning since both Literalism as well as Methaphorical deduction are both ways of INTERPRETATION

Brother Tawheed's picture is the cover of Bilal Philips book on Tawheed (inspired by Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahab) so it's obvious that he's from the Salafi group.
