he Wahhabi Myth (2nd Edition) - Dispelling Prevalent Fallacies and the Fictitious Link with Bin Laden By Haneef James Oliver

The 'Wahhabi' Myth by Haneef James Oliver clarifies many of the gross inaccuracies and outright lies that have been attributed to the belief of the Salafi Muslims (often referred to as "Wahhabis"). Although some reporters have been vigilant enough to rebut some of these widespread fables, most have fallen headfirst into what one discerning reporter called, "the neo-conservative line that the whole conspiracy against America can be traced back to Wahhabism and the government of Saudi Arabia."

The author of The 'Wahhabi' Myth outlines the principles of the Salafi creed in an easy to understand manner. Using many different sources, he carefully presents the arguments of the critics of Salafism and successfully addresses the misconceptions that are contained within these criticisms. Specifically, he addresses the commonly held belief that Osama Bin Laden is a Salafi/"Wahhabi". He compellingly dispels this myth and unveils the sect that has provoked Bin Laden to become the leader of a terrorist movement.

Answer 9

Al-Wahhaab is one of the Attributes of Allaah.

When people say so-and-so is Wahhaabi, they intend the following:

"A follower of Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhaab"

According to the 'Aqeedah of Islaam, a person who is Wahhaabi should be a follower of whom? al-Wahhaab.

Regardless, look at the insincerity of these people. If they were truthful they would say "Muhammadis" as the Shaykh they refer to is "Shaykh MUHAMMAD bin (son of) Abdul-Wahhaab" not Shaykh 'Abdul-Wahhaab, his father.

The name was first used by the British in India years after the death of Shaykh Muhammad bin Abdul-Wahhaab. Many of the indian scholars traveled to Yemen and Saudi Arabia, and they learned from the scholars and began preaching Islaam again in India. This troubled the British and they spread the term "Wahhabi". The ignorant Muslims took this and used against anyone who called against Shirk and Bid'ah.

The Rawaafidh Shee'ah have hatred towards the Shaykh because he leveled their shrines and graves where they used to worship the dead, such as in Karbala.

From Abul-Hayyaaj al-Asadee who said: "‘Alee Ibn Abee Taalib said to me: 'Shall I not send you for what the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) sent me? That you deface all statues and pictures and that you level all elevated graves.'" Related by Muslim (3/61), Aboo Daawood (3/70), an-Nisaa‘ee (1/285) and others.

Excerpt from The "Wahhabi" Myth:

The word "Wahabism" is in fact nothing but a meaningless appellation which is used by people in two cases: The term "Wahabism" is often used to describe those who closely stick to the verses of the Qur'an and the narrations of the Prophet Muhammad (may Allah raise his rank and grant him peace) in all religious affairs. Consequently, instead of directly attacking Islam for those things that do not appeal to their desires, they call anyone who follows these texts "Wahabis."

Answer 10

Wahabi are a cult, that controls mecca, and puts haram police to beat people in hajj, they are the scum of this earth.

Answer 11

If at the end of the day Muslims see a profit in looting and grabing Non Muslim wealth, they will take the Wahabi line and support them to the hilt or just keep quite.

If there is a backlash and they get a hiding, the moderates will come out of the wood works and blame it all on enemies of Islam.

Answer 12

Sunnis are Muslim,

Wahhabis are followers of Iblees.

Here are some of the belief of Wahhabis

1-Rituals are superior to intention

2- No reverence of the dead is permitted

3-No Intercessary prayer through Muhammad (saww) is allowed

4- Wahhabis deny Quran by denying intercession by Muhammad (saww)

5- Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab was totally hated Ale-Muhammad. He cursed them.

All wahhabis follow him

6- Wahhabis believe that Nobanaoozbillah a prophet can be elected by Ummah.

7- Respect prophet just like your elder brother. Do not give special significant or preference to Rasoolallah (saww)

8- Wahhabis claim that (Tobanaoozbillah) Allah is responsible of their sins.

QURAN 15:39] (Iblis) said: "O my Lord! because Thou hast put me in the wrong, I will make (wrong) fair-seeming to them on the earth, and I will put them all in the wrong,-

Wahhabis are Ibleesi

Answer 14

Extremist Sunni Muslim who are backward, illogical and simply fanatic

Wahab the terrorist and fanatic created it

I can't tell for sure but some of your answers are similar to ones of a Wahabi but I hope you change and move in the right direction instead of being a Shia bashing extremist fanatic.

I am sorry I never seen you bash Shias but some of your answers I've seen are a little backward and fanatic.

You opposed being a modern Muslim and practising the religion in a modern way which is extremist

It depends on how you practice it unfortunately if you practise it in a backward way then how is it modern.

Answer 15

It seems this section has been taken over by Shee'ah spamming questions and comments about "Wahhabis".  This term, of course, is broadly defined as any aspect of Sunni Muslims that the Shee'ah don't like.

The sheer volume of these clone troll accounts is impressive.

Answer 16

labels or sects
