It was in the 1700s that the Wahabi form of Islam had its “great teacher.” This came from the most backward uneducated area of Saudi Arabia, and it is being spread throughout the world in the Madrasa “schools” where I understand only the Koran is taught in Arabic, no matter what language is spoken in the local country. I believe that the Koran is the only thing taught in these schools. While this particular brand of Islam may be useful for training fanatics, it is certainly not doing the general intelligence/modern competence of Islamists any good, and should ultimately be their downfall as this article concludes.

Thanks for those links.

I think the Saudi royal family made a “deal with the devil” to buy off the Wahabis who captured Mecca several years ago.

The royals could “party on”, while their oil money would fund thousands of madrassas and spread “Wahabism” like a cancer.
