In the UChicago article, Doostdar says that there are many different ways people can adhere to "the diverse range of Salafi views". I agree that there is always a range of different ways to adhere to a certain religion. For example, in Judaism, you can either be orthodox (most religious), conservative, or reform (least religious). And even within those categories, there is a spectrum of how religious you are and how much/how you practice. I have found that the spectrum does vary by area, though. For example, an orthodox Jew in San Diego, CA seems to be much less religious than an orthodox Jew in New York City. My question is, how does this begin? Why does this happen? Is this acceptable or should we be able to place an orthodox Jew from one area into another area and it be just the same?
