The Salafi god and the mosquito

Salafis believe that Allah (swt) can mount a mosquito and fly around on it.

Imam Darami the author of Sunan al-darami in his book 'Aqa'id al-salaf (creed of the salaf) page 443 writes:
وقد بلغنا أنـهم -الملائكة- حين حملوا العرش وفــوقــه الجــبار في عزته وبـهائه ، ضعفوا عن حمله واستكانوا وحنوا على ركبهم حتى لقنوا ( لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله ) فاستقلوا به بقدرة الله وإرادته ، ولولا ذلك ما استقل به العرش ، ولا الحملة ولا السماوات ولا الأرض ولا من فيهن . ولو قد شاء لاستقر على ظهر بعوضة فاستقلت به بقدرته ولطف ربوبيته ، فكيف على عرش عظيم أكبر من السماوات السبع ؟!

"It has reached us that when the Angels lifted the throne while the almighty is on top of it in his might and glory, they were weak in lifting it, and they rested and bent onto their knees until they said (there is no might or power except with Allah) but they lifted it with His power and will, and if it wasn't for it (His power and will), it would not have been possible for the throne, or those that carry it or the skies or the earth or whoever is inside it. And if he so wished, he would have mounted on the back of a mosquito and she would have carried Him by His Divine Grace, so how about a great throne that is larger than the seven skies?
