		Ibn Taymiyya received his primary education from his able father who taught him the Qur’an, tafsir, Hadith, philology, philosophy, etc. He also studied for several years under the famous scholars of the time in Damascus: Zaynu’d-din al-Muqaddasi, Najmu’d-din ‘Asakir and the woman scholar Zaynab bint Makki.
		Ibn Tamiyya was a dedicated, sincere and straight-forward Muslim who was a true follower of the Shari’a and who did not approve of the introduction of the shaykh as a intermediary between man and his Lord, nor did he approve of people visiting graves.
		Ibn Tamiyya, being an ardent follower of tawhid, could not tolerate any middle-man between Allah and man. There is room for such a man in Islam as a teacher as a guide, as a helper and as a friend, but certainly not as a man to be worshipped.

		Ibn Taymiyya goes into a full chapter of discussion of this subject from here, Chapter 8 of "al-qaida al-jaleela fit-tawwasuli wal-waseela", where he presents the views of the majority of the 'ulama of Islam and he presents his own views of the subject.
		And here also, Ibn Taymiyya refers to the ijma'a, the consensus, which is a clear reference to the concept of ijma'a of scholars of Islam as being a fully accepted concept and one which he accepts.
		And this is a clear proof that Ibn Taymiyya, though he considered himself a mujtahid mutlaq, capable of independent reasoning, nevertheless depended on the consensus [ijma'a] of scholars as a proof for the opinions he considered acceptable.

		Further internal evidence of Ibn Taymiyya's sufi inclination can be seen in his hundred-page commentary on Gilani, covering only five of the 78 sermons of "Futooh al-Ghayb", but showing that he considered the sufi path a salutary effort and even essential within the life of the Islamic community.
		Ibn Taymiyya unmistakably states that the lawful is the method and way of "those who follow the path" (al-salikeen) or "the way of self-denial" (zuhd) and those who follow "what is called poverty and Sufism", i.e.
		Ibn Taymiyya's answer is to apply the legal concept of ijtihad to the spiritual path, specifically to the notion of ilham or inspiration.

		The mediæval Hanbali professor Ibn Taymiyya has been the most important inspiration for Sunni radicals of the modern era, and indeed he is respected for his scholarship by many non-radical Sunnis, despite the considerable reservations they express about his radicalism.
		Ibn Taymiyya's response was that the Mongols, by implementing 'man made laws' (the Yasa code) instead of the Shariah, were in fact living in a state of jahiliyya, or pre-Islamic pagan ignorance.
		Ibn Taymiyya's puritanical attitude to new interpretations and methods of practising Islam was paradoxical since it was itself innovative.

		Ibn Taymiya is Ahmad ibn Abd al-Salaam ibn Abdullah, Abu al-Abbas Taqi al-Din ibn Taymiya al-Harrani, born in Harran, east of Damascus, in 661/1263.
		A famous Hanbali scholar in Koranic exegesis (tafsir), hadith and jurisprudence, Ibn Taymiya was a voracious reader and author of great personal courage who was endowed with a compelling writing style and a keen memory.
		While few deny that ibn Taymiya was a copious and eloquent writer and hadith scholar, his career, like that of others, demonstrates that a man may be outstanding in one field and yet suffer from radical deficiencies in another, the most reliable index of which is how a field's Imams regard his work in it.

	Ibn Taymiyya Against the Greek Logicians (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Ibn Taymiyya, one of the greatest and most prolific thinkers of medieval Islam, held Greek logic responsible for the "heretical" metaphysical conclusions reached by Islamic philosophers, theologians, mystics, and others.
		He therefore set out to refute philosophical logic, a task which culminated in one of the most devastating attacks ever levelled against the logical system upheld by the early Greeks, the later commentators, and their Muslim followers.

		If one were to research the styles of writing that these people employ and what they present as facts in one place when it suits their purposes, and the total opposite in another place when it suits there purposes he would find it to be very devious and misleading.
