Defeated in Bosnia-Hercegovina, Wahhabis Turn to Montenegro

"Uneducated youth embrace Wahhabism"

Vijesti, Podgorica, Montenegro, 14 October 2006

Podgorica: Dzemo Redzematovic, the main Podgorica imam, refused to either confirm or deny reports that there are supporters of Wahhabism among the Islamic community officials. When asked whether an imam in northern Montenegro who was educated in Saudi Arabia was a Wahhabi, Redzematovic replied that all those working for the Islamic community of Montenegro had to sign an agreement stating that they will work in line with traditional Islam and the Hanafi madhdhab.

"Any violation of this paragraph represents a violation and termination of the contract. If the Islamic community of Montenegro is facing some problems it will solve them within its own institutions and not through daily newspapers. I think that there is no reason to treat Wahhabism as an issue of great importance. By ignoring this topic we will help solve the problem sooner," Redzematovic says.

He points out that the Wahhabism in Montenegro started attracting attention after it collapsed in Bosnia-Hercegovina, where it was defeated by prominent and influential Bosnian imams and by its own incompatibility with traditional Bosnian Islam.

"The number of Wahhabis is growing among religiously uneducated youth and in those religious collectives in which the role of their imam is significantly reduced or neglected. In communities that have serious and industrious imams, Wahhabism has not managed to make progress," Redzematovic says.

He confirms that the initial goal of the Wahhabism was a return to original Islam, but adds that a movement which is 300 years old cannot be integrated in our century, because it lost the framework in which it operated and it lost its reason to exist.

It's much like joining a gang. Fifty years ago the alienated became Communists, they didn't understand that either. Now, the call to the third world is this cult.

Not to be cynical, but if it wasn't this, it'd be something else.
