Wahhabism is about as central to Islam as, shall we say, the Ku Klux Klan to Christianity.

Apples and oranges...and specious reason there. Bernard Lewis is Jewish and, I would suggest, not an authority on the spirituality of Christianity (which is its operative aspect). There is NO connection between Christianity and the KKK but the borrowing of symbols by the KKK in hopes of whitewashing its guilt.

That is basically Dr. Lewis's point about Wahhabism. With out the oil money they would be just another minor sect
Note: I am NOT saying everything is sweetness and light inside Islam. (IMO) What we are seeing is a civil war inside Islam and we've been dragged into it, being "The Far Enemy".
