Salafism
Reader comment on item: A Culture of Ambiguity
Submitted by John Harvey (United States), Dec 27, 2021 at 15:49
If Islam has been monomaniacal and humorless since 1800, I suggest that the cause is not ( at least directly) the west but Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Wahhāb (1699-1792). I would welcome comments from those more knowledgeable about these things than I.
