'Salafee' itself is not a new terminology because it had been used by Rasulullah himself in his saying to his daughter that he was the best salaf (literally means predecessor). It had also been used to describe good qualities of a sunni (e.g. description of ad-Daraquthnee by adz-Dzahabee). However, the use of it increases nowadays due to the deviation of 'sunni' terminology. Many deviated sects have claimed to be included in the correct path i.e. ahlus sunnah wal jama'ah. Therefore, 'salafee' is meant to signify one of the criteria of ahlus sunnah wal jama'ah i.e. understanding Islam in the way of the pious predecessors (salafush shalih). So instead of a new sect, salafee is meant to return to the way of the original Islam. There are other names for ahlus sunnah wal jama'ah such as firqatun najiyyah. (CMIIW) BTW, if you don't mind, may I know your religious background? It might help us in giving the needed information because sometimes we assume some basic knowledge about Islam in order to save space.
