#1 In the case of the Salifis it is pure al-Takeyya

I don't know what to make of the Ahamadis but since they are Takfir we can assume they are not thinking the same thing as the Salifi and truly just want to get along.

#2 Ahmadiyas pray facing Haifa not Mecca. They apparently don't spend their lives mechanically memorizing Coran as evidenced by the fact the only "Muslim" (sort of, see below) scientific Noabel Prize winner was an Ahmadiya.

And, but perhaps I confound them with teh Quadianites, they say there can be and in fact have been prophets after Muhammad. That makes them automoatically non-Muslims for main-line Muslims.

#3 According to Wikipedia Quadianites is merely the derogatory term used by mainline Muslims for designating Ahmadiyya.

But these are divided in two sects: the Ahmadiyya and the Lahore Ahmadiyya. That could be the origin of the confusion.

#4 JFM, why do the Ahmadis bow towards Haifa instead of Mecca?

#5 1. Cause they are fans of the Technion?
2. Cause they are just love to ride the Carmelit?
3. Cause we're getting them confused with Bahais?
4. I have no idea, really

#8 My recollection was that the ahmadis bow to Mecca but I could be wrong. The religion is only about 100 years old.
