Salafi University

Salafi University

Salafi University is an institution that adheres to the Salafi aqidah. There are actually two independent locations in the subcontinent of India. (Faisalabad, Pakistan and Vanaris, India).

One of the well-known graduates is Shaykh Wasiullah Abbas of Makkah.

Some claimants to Salafi University are the following:

Detainee Mohammed Mohammed Hassen, formerly a Qur'an student at Salafi, said during his Combatant Status Review Tribunal, that the University had between 150 and 200 students. [http://wid.ap.org/documents/detainees/mohammedhassen.pdf documents (.pdf)] from Mohammed Mohammed Hassen's Combatant Status Review Tribunal] He said the University had a central mosque, surrounded by out-buildings, including dormitories, surrounded by a wall. He also said tuition was free.

On September 11 2002 the foreign student's dormitory was raided and approximately a dozen of the occupants were transferred to extrajudicial detention in the United States Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, in Cuba.

Detainee Mohammed Ali Salem Al Zarnuki told his Tribunal that he was captured with 13 other residents of the foreign student's dormitory. [http://www.defenselink.mil/pubs/foi/detainees/csrt/Set_16_1363-1446.pdf Summarized transcripts (.pdf)] , from Mohammed Ali Salem Al Zarnuki's "Combatant Status Review Tribunal" - pages 41-59] He claims that he never enrolled at the university, but went to take a look one day.

Detainee Fahmi Abdullah Ahmed told his Tribunal that he had a drug problem, and learned he could stay for free in the foreign students dormitory. [http://wid.ap.org/documents/detainees/fahmiahmed.pdf allegations (.pdf)] against Fahmi Abdullah Ahmed, from page 24 of his Combatant Status Review Tribunal]

Detainee Ahmed Abdul Qader was arrested at the same time as Mohammed Mohammed Hassen, and testified on his behalf, at his Tribunal. [http://www.defenselink.mil/pubs/foi/detainees/csrt/Set_51_3490-3642_Revised.pdf Summarized transcripts (.pdf)] , from Ahmed Abdul Qader's "Combatant Status Review Tribunal" - pages 5-11]

Detainee Emad Abdalla Hassan was also captured at Salafi University. [http://wid.ap.org/documents/detainees/emadabdallahassan.pdf documents (.pdf)] , from Emad Abdalla Hassan's Combatant Status Review Tribunal, "US Department of Defense" - [http://www.defenselink.mil/pubs/foi/detainees/csrt/Set_7_0741-0887.pdf mirror pages 106-112] ] His Tribunal's President ruled his witnesses as irrelevant due to simple and avoidable date confusion on the part of his translators and interrogators.His Recorder and Personal Representative were unable to locate his passport, even though he knew it should still be in Guantanamo, because his interrogators had shown it to him when they asked him questions about it during his interrogations.His translator and interrogator had recorded that Hassan believed it was his duty to follow his Tribal leader's orders, if he was ordered to engage in jihad. Hassan said that what he had actually told his interrogator was that the people who lived in his portion of Yemen had no tribal affiliations, or tribal leaders. That he had told his interrogators, that, theoretically, the Yemenis who lived in the Tribal portions of Yemen would feel obliged to follow that kind of instruction from their Tribal leaders.
