Has anyone else heard of this ism?

Wahhabism is the brutal, psychopathic state religion of the the Saudis. It has expunged all humanity from Islam, and actively (through Saudi money) has supported and cultivated savages like the Taliban.

From the madrassa schools in Pakistan, to embryonic Wahhabi cults in Bosnia, these cruel sons of bitches pour in money to teach little kids-- not math, science, and history-- but a vile, totalitarian, and historically false depiction of Islam that breeds a mindless hatred for Christians, Jews, and any Muslim that might accidentally remind these animals that God does not condone the murder of innocents.

Even the nutjob Iranians find this group to be "cruel and primitive"

Ok, so I'm a little passionate about this. Forgive me, but what these thugs have done to the faith of my fathers is unforgivable.

I hope that after we're done cleaning up Afghanistan and Al-Qaeda, we have a serious heart to heart discussion with the Saudis, reminding them if they should ever bankroll this kind of evil again, the consequences for them will be grim.

Bad info.

Wahhabism is the OPPOSITE OF EXTREMISM. Imam Wahhab wanted ALL the books of hadeeth eradicated. When the Saudis took power, that's what they wanted to do. The clerics argued, and only several volumes are allowed in Saudi Arabia. Imam Wahhab predicted that if ALL the books of hadeeth (nasty idiotic fairy tales about the Prophet) were not eradicated, some perverse power hungrey jerk like bin Laden would come along.

And that's exactly what happened.

There is nothing in the Koran that says women must cover their hair, or that men must have beards, or that music is sinful, etc., etc., etc. All this nonsense comes from hadeeth.

Really? It is my understanding that some nosnsense comes from Islamic sects that that believe that only the imams can interperate the Koran.

I only know a little about Shiites and Sunnis.

While they are the two largest groups there are a multitudes of Islamic sects and sub-sects.

In the US, 80 per cent of mosques are estimated by the Sufi Hisham al-Kabbani, born in Lebanon and now living in the US, to be under the control of Wahhabi imams, who preach extremism

Hamza, do you think the above is accurate? It would seem to explain the theory that peaceful Muslims in the US are afraid to speak out. It might also explain why so many US "Muslim leaders" have links to terrorist groups, or so it seems in the research I've done.

Please identify Mr Schwartz's "disinformation". Don't make a charge like that unless you can back it up.

DB:
"Tamils are not Muslims, but they blow themselves up in their war on the government of Sri Lanka; Japanese kamikaze pilots in the second world war were not Muslims, but they flew their fighters into US aircraft carriers."

RWS:
"Comparing these incidents are quite irrelevant to slaughter of innocent citizens whom only crime was in a country that they envied."

Wrong. DB is talking about the state of mind of the attackers, not who the victims are. The Japanese kamakaize pilots, the Tamil terrorist and militant Islamic terrorists all are willing to sacrifice themselves to kill their enemies. They are operating on the same principle, offering their life in service to their 'higher cause'.
-----

RWS:
"The behavior of war is completely different than terrorism."

Wrong in this case. The Tamils terrorists and the militant Islamic terrorists have both publically stated that they don't differentiate between soldiers and civilians, and that civilians are effectively soldeirs in their enemy's service. Also, if you don't think these people view their 'struggle' as a war, you are mistaken.

but you know that can be done with any religion

You might be right about OBL and what he'd done to it, but I do have to disagree that any religion can have someone like OBL do this kind of thing to it. Other religions have safeguards against this kind of thing happening, even a Pope couldn't get by with it because the hierarchy would stop him, the Protestant religions all have ways to get rid of ministers who go too far and I'm sure the Jewish also have ways to get rid of deranged Rabbis who would hijack Judaism. Maybe that's what Islam needs is some kind of oversight so that an individual or group can't do this and claim the religion backs them.

You, sir, know not a TWIT of what you speak, and your opining is bordering on the imbecilic. You appear to be a Wahhibi-lover, and thus quite possibly a clear and present threat to my country.

"Schwartz is a disinformation specialist"

Sounds like you and Schwartz would make a perfect couple.
