WHAT IS WAHHABISM? Wahhabism is the ideology behind Islamist terrorism that we see today; it is the cult of hate that is practised by terrorist organisations like ISIS, Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. It appears to be a conservative interpretation of Islam, however, it rejects the core commandments of the Prophet Mohammad. Deobandism and Salafism differ slightly from the Wahhabism practised in Saudi Arabia, but they are almost exactly the same in beliefs. Wahhabism teaches that all non-Wahhabis are infidels who must be killed, the women among them can be made into sex slaves and their properties can be confiscated [AL RED FLAGS SUWAIQ AL ILAHIYA FIL RAD ALAL WAHABIYA BY SHEIKH SULAIMAN BIN ABD AL-WAHABI TAMIMI] . Saudi Arabia funds the propagation of Wahhabism and the terrorist organisations who put this doctrine of hatred into practice.
