"Wahhabists are better Muslims than you are"

Not quite sure what you mean by that 'you', but I'll tell you that moderate and traditional muslims do NOT look favorably upon the wahhabis. They are a relatively small sect, sometimes referred to as a 'cult' by other muslims.

Then they better start looking and acting a whole lot more "unfavorably" upon their evil fundamentalist cult brothers.

It is never pretty to contemplate genocide, in any form.
But the ugly contemplation is simmering just under the surface here in the USA, and it really wont take very much for it to boil over.

The President has done his damndest to keep a lid on it, but it appears inevitable, given the current condition of our society. The unholy alliance of the deviant left with the jihadis assures a civil war.
This year or in five years?
We should start a pool....

I read somewhere that around 1960, Wahhabis were largely confined to the Arabian peninsula and were considered somewhat neurotic by the rest of the world's Muslims. But since then, with oil money, they have been very successful propagating their brand of extreme Islam throughout the world. They will kill anyone who disagees with them -- not only "polytheists" (which includes Christians and Jews in their eyes) but fellow Muslims.

The US was worried about the spread of Iranian-inspired Muslim fundamentalism after the 1979 takeover of Iran by the mullahs. That's why we sided with the secular Saddam Hussein (!!) during the Iran-Iraq War of the 1980s. As it turns out, the brand of Islam sponsored by our "friend" Saudi Arabia has been far more successful and is a much greater threat.
