Wahabism

I do wish someone will explain to me what this sect or cult is. Because the way i see things 90% of the sunni world is wahabi and they dont even know it. The 10% are muslims from the sub-continent that cant read or write but are the foremost intellectuals on islam.

Edit: This is not a religious discussion. Rather a political one as the concept of being wahabi is linked to politics and miltant actions. So do not move this to religion. This is not a request.

Wahabi has become a convenient label for any kind of interpretation of Islam that promotes values or ideals different from modern-day Western values and ideals.

The label "Wahabi" as applied today covers, as you inferred, a broad range of beliefs that often lie in contrast to each other.

my understanding is that they're the mulims who hate americans and/or westerners "the most" to the point where it's ok to kill ones who may be commuting to work, flying across the country etc...

One is good at playing dumb while for the other its a way of life. :hehe:

Bush is a wahabi revert? I thought he was a pro-zionist, right-wing, neo-con, christian fundamentalist? It's so hard to keep up on things nowadays. You need to keep all of us more abreast of these things Thappie.
