The key differences in major doctrinal issues clearly prove that the Atharis/Ahlul Hadith reject the views of asharis and vice versa. Both groups are clearly distinct in their theology and principles.
Hence in reality Sunni is only one creed ( and not the common misconception of 3 in 1). The kalami groups of asharism and maturidism are a mix hybrid of ahlus sunnah and ahlul kalaam.
asharis and maturidis kind of try to be between Ahlus Sunnah and the Mu'tazila. However the so called middle ground is batil in this case; it's like going between ahlus sunnah and ahlul bida, which still would be ahlul bida although in a less manner.
The above situation is like the zaidis who are alleged to be between sunni and shia. However that so called middle position is still deviant even if it is considered in a lesser manner as compared to twlever shia.
Assalamu alaikum, great article once again!
