Because they’ve only been around since yesterday…

Islam teaches tolerance - Practice what you think is right, advise others in a calm and polite manner and move along.
You wont be held accountable for the acts of others. And you are just as imperfect as everyone else you think is imperfect - You are not the one who should be judging anyone.

The General Basis for Making Excuses
Ibn Ajiba (Allah have mercy upon him) mentions that making excuses for others returns to the Prophet’s words (peace and blessings be upon him) that, “A believer is a mirror of the believer.” [Abu Dawud, from Abu Hurayra (Allah be pleased with him); sound (hasan)] So what you see in your brethren is a reflection of what is within you–so beware.
The way of purity and sincerity is to look at everyone–friend and foe–with the eye of sincere concern (nasiha) and mercy. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said that, “Religion is sincere concern (ad-dinu’n nasiha).” [Muslim and Nasa’i, from Tamim ad-Dari] And, “It is only the merciful who are granted mercy by the All-Merciful. Be merciful to those on earth and the Lord of the Heavens will be merciful to you.” And, “None of you believes until they wish for others as they wish for themselves.” [Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi, from Abdullah ibn Amr (Allah be pleased with him); soundly authentic (hasan sahih) according to Tirmidhi]
This is why Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn Munazil (Allah have mercy upon him), of the early Muslims, said, “The believer seeks excuses for their brethren, while the hypocrite seeks out the faults of their brethren.” [Sulami, Adab al-Suhba]
Re: Is it wrong? Is it selfish?
This post sent me into a bit of a tailspin. I have taken the time to consider this post, and its possible implications both for myself and the possibility that it is actually a reflection of you. I have found that I am compliant with the teachings of the article. The differentiating part is that it all depends on who we consider Believers and Brethren. I actually do apply the final excuse for my brethren (Ahlus Sunnah from All parts of the World,) the final excuse being ‘A reason that I do not know’
Then remained the question of what your point actually was, with Help from Allah, I was shown the basis of your speech. It came from the speech of a najdi If someone labels you a -Wahabi. AbdurRahim Green - YouTube . The points being if someone calls you a wahabi, say to him that he is a Munafiq, and he does not know what a wahabi is - which is exactly as you did
The basis of my own speech came from a Believer: Shaykh Yaqoubi on Liberation of Al-Aqsa and Wahabis. - YouTube . @1.15 ‘horn of satan’ and ‘victory of the Muslims’, and then ‘true Muslims’ over and including the deviators who are ‘distorting the Image of Islam,’ ‘victory is coming soon In Sha Allah’.
Then He does go onto to talk about dawa and the mercy required, a point also mentioned by you . I content that the points mentioned by The Imam earlier (Shaitanic deviators who deviate others - which are the two points you questioned of mine) are also full of mercy, dawa and sincere concern. So where we find a people forwarding the ‘horn of satan’ dawa we must speak up. I have no reason not to because I neither lack the ability nor the courage - Alhamdulillah
