Islam: Sunnite or Shi'a -- why Muhammad al-Wahab would still hate you

What many people fail to realize about this man, Muhammad al-Wahab, is that despite the fact that you or anyone else may support, follow, or worship admire him, it's very likely that he will deem you as an untrue Muslim --
  • Reason 1}
al-Wahab professed that any idea added to Islam after its third century of existence (i.e. ~950 CE) was bid'aa. That automatically rules out Shi'aas and Sufis. Also those who admire any of the following men are also promoting bid'aa:
al-Ghazali
ibn Sina (Avicenna)
al-Kindi (Alkindus)
ibn Tufail

  • Reason 2}
al-Wahab passionately countered modernity, secularism, and the Enlightenment -- three topics which are inevitable influence on just about any human being (Muslim or not).
--If you live in the west, you are a munafiq
--If you brush your teeth with a toothbrush instead of a miswaak, you are a munafiq
--If you actually think for yourself instead of blindly following mullahs, you are a munafiq
--If you resist their violence against you or your masjids, you are a munafiq
--If you are a woman and go out to the store on your own, you are a munafiq
--If you don't love Yazid, Muawiyah, Abu Sufyan, or Hind, you are a kaafir

  • Reason 3}
al-Wahab compares the world outside of his extremism to era of Jahiliyah, and therefore many of us are not "true Muslims at all."

Yes, that's right, you're no better than the pagan Arabs to whom the Prophet was sent; Wahab ironically compares himself to the Prophet by exaggerating his struggle to revert this jahil world back to righteousness -- sounds like shirk, n'est-ce pas?

  • Reason 4}
al-Wahab stated that it is indeed halal to kill the "untrue" Muslims, as defined by reason three. Hence, you, your family, and probably many of your friends (Muslim or not) deserve to be killed.

And if you are not killing for the sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, then you are also a munafiq.

  • Reason 5}
If you are not a Wahabbi and do not follow the way of the Salafs to the strictest / extremist standards, then you're basically screwed in the hearafter and...oh yeah...a munafiq.

  • Reason 6}
al-Wahab stated that those who remain passive to their unIslamic authorities (whether you live in a Muslim country or not) are also jahil until the day they choose the exterminate all of the untrue Muslims and overthrow their governments in favor of a Wahabbist administration.

Are you doing any of that?
If not, then you are a munafiq.
