A TRUE MENACE

I am glad to find that such a study about wahabism in the US took place.

Indeed, around 70% of the mosques in the US are from this perticular sect which is prevalent
in saudi sheikdom.

It has been a militant and jihadi oriented sect right from the start, a couple of centuries ago when it was introduced by a certain Abdul-wahab, whom it's named after.

If we look at the world around us today,we see a lot of different terrorist organisations loosely
connected to each other both directly or indirectly.

Interestingly nearly all of them are wahabi movements supported and funded by the saudis.

Hence it is not surprising that 19 out of the 15 hijackers were of saudi citizens.

Unfortunately this cancer is not bound to saudi, and with their help it has spread all over the muslim world as far flung as indonesia where the infamous "Jama-islamia" is operating.

Just less than a century ago,before the discovery of oil in the kindgom Wahabism was only confined to saudi arabia with small minorities in the neighbouring gulf states.

But now it has spread everywhere.

Cunningly the call themselves "SUNNIS", and unfortunately the world media has also fallen in their trap by calling taliban,chechen,al-aida,Abu-musab-alzarqawi and others of their likes "Sunni extremists".

The world needs to get together and unveil their true identity and deal with them.

My cousins who went to the US in their early teens and were sunnis are now wahabis and have extremist views about the non muslims now because all the mosques are wahabi run thanks to Saudi Arabia.

Wahabism is a true menace and the sooner we deal with it the better.
