Wahhabism is an ultra-conservative sect of Sunni Islam named for an eighteenth-century preacher and scholar.
Jamel Khashoggi, a Saudi journalist in Afghanistan during that period, is now head of al-Arab News Channel and a columnist for al-Hayat. At a meeting in Bahrain recently, Khashoggi told me that there has been a major, and unexplored change in Muslim culture, one that is not discussed in the West.
It is "raw Wahhabism," to use his words; this change, this nihilism, this desperation, this destruction of Afghan-Pakistani Pashtun culture. And equally, the terrible tactics of ISIS, which are no different from the Wahhabis in 1802, when they destroyed the Imam Hussein Mosque in Karbala, which Tamerlane spared. And which ISIS now wants to attack again in Iraq.
The Taliban are insecure about their lack of formal education. This is one reason why they destroyed schools. A girl in traditional rural Pashtun culture will disappear into the family compound once she reaches puberty, never to be seen again by an outsider.
But the Taliban, in the 1990s, as they became exposed to the outside world, began to realize the importance of girl's education. There were more girls in school in Afghanistan under the Taliban than any time in history, although the Western media never reported this. There are, of course, more girls in school, by far, today than ever before.

Then your post was confusing, to the topic at hand in the article.
From the article......” there has been a major, and unexplored change in Muslim culture...raw Whannibism”....
No, it’s there ‘within’ the people who adhere to Islam teaching.....it only needs to have the right elements in line with that inner man to take off and be what we are seeing In ISIS and other elements of Islam.
This is not knew....they are doing exactly as they have for thousand of years. It’s just we’re seeing it here because of technology, though it was known by our military and explorers centuries ago. But it is not new.

All you need to know, Conservatives = Child Killers.
And the beat goes on.
There were NO animals among the murderers — they were ALL Muslims.
Repeat again, ALL Muslims.
No argument from me. My personal philosophy is ... kill all muslims, problem solved.
Wonder if the dems think it would have been ok for the pakis to turture someone to,prevent this?
My philosophy is, not enough muslims enjoy the rewards and exercise of diving for pearls.
Through a collection of back door mechanisms, Yes.
A book to read is “sleeping with the devil”.
Pity young females in Afghanistan as once Obama has pulled out US troops the Taliban will again control the country and begin treating females as cattle in the grand tradition of Islam. When will the west wake up to the fact that Islam is pure evil and little different than Nazism?
Moslem men
yes. The Saudis created the Taliban, AlQaeda, Boko Haram, Abu Sayyah, the Chechen Wahabbists, the Pakistani Taliban etc. etc.
It’s OK - we’re on it. Obama made it clear that they were not playing nice...
The same “men” that totally cover their women because they are too morally weak to control themselves.
