Islam and birthplace

Hi, BA ! Thanks for your friendly comment.

> Fair reply Ianus, however your reply assumed the OP is from Turkey due to his IP address. Al-Mutairy family is from the mid-north of Saudi Arabia(a.k.a. Najid) which is the birth place of the Wahabbi's ideology.<

To tell you the truth, dear friend, I'd have replied the same way even if Al-Mutairy had come from Kosovo, Tatarstan or Londonistan. They all read the same Quran and worship the same gangster-saint. If Wahhabis have more power and are more dangerous nowadays because of their petrodollars, it should not make us blind to the evil Islam as such was and is all about.

To me the difference netween a Wahhabi and non-Wahhabi Moslem is that the latter thinks what the former does and that they both can become friends while a kafir and a Moslem can't. This seems to me to be the most basic fact of Islam.

Best regards, Ianus
