The "Salafi" belief that Allah has location

The jumhur of Ahlus Sunnah deny that Aļļaah is in a location because it means being confined in space. If something is in a location, then it is not in other locations, which means it is confined to a particular place in time. Moreover, being in a location implies being a body, because a body is something with size. Here the Imam of the Salafis Ibn Taymiyyah states:

فقد ثبت بموجب هاتين المقدمتين صحة قول القائلين بالجهة وقول القائلين بأنه جسم وكونه جسما يستلزم القول بالجهة
“…. It is established from what necessarily follows from these two premises, the correctness of the saying of those who say that Aļļaah is in a direction, and the saying of those who say that He is a body, and that Him being a body necessarily implies Him being in a direction (Bayaan Talbees Al-Jahmiyyah, 2 / 125).”

If this is what their Imam in Aqida adheres to, so who are they following when they deny this obvious necessity of direction and location? Who are these “salaf” they claim to follow? This is certainly an odd and deviant belief.
