Better use of time - benefitting from their knowledge to fulfilling your purpose - worshipping Allah subhaana wa ta'aala. Discussing ideas, not specific scholars. Finally, from my experience in daw'ah work, the hardcore on either side make up a small portion of all the Muslims out there. Focus your daw'ah on the masses, because they neither know nor care about all these differences, and there is no need to bring it up with them.

Which scholars need to be respected? How can we identify them? What are qualities of such sheikh? Can sufis really respect salafi scholars despite disagreements and call them sheikhs? Can salafis really respect sufi scholars despite disagreements and call them sheikhs? Can sunnis respect a shia scholar or vice versa? Most of time salafis (commoners) mention sufi scholars like if they are their best buddy (ie no respect) and vice versa. I asked these questions to myself, and I think more the differences, lesser would be respect in my heart for the other's scholars. So the best I can do is to not talk about them, and do not say bad if I can not say good about them. I should focus on making myself better muslim. Salaam. Which scholars need to be respected?
