As-Salam Alaykum,

By the 17th century, Muslims were at peace under the Ottoman Khilafah following the 4 Sunni Madh-habs....

Until....one man appeared in the scorching deserts of central Arabia (Najd).

That man was "shaykh" Muhammad bin Abd-al-Wahhab al-Tamimi (1703-1792).

This man, influenced by the fanatical puritanical ideas of Ibn-Taymiyyah and by the inherent harshness of the desert...started a new Sect.

This Sect was called by him and his followers as: "al-Muslimun", then "Ahl al-Tawhid", "al-Wahhabiyyah", "Ahl al-Hadith "and then finally "al-Salafiyyah".

Muhammad bin Abd-al-Wahhab believed that ALL THE MUSLIMS of his time were actually kafirs and mushriks. In other words, they were all apostates (Murtadds)....including all the Ulama of Makkah and Medina, and even the Islamic Khalifah in Turkey.

He reckoned, by visiting the Tombs of the Prophet (SAW) and the Awliya and seeking their Barakah...muslims had reverted to SHIRK and IDOL-WORSHIP.

He also reckoned that by following the 4 Imams, muslims had abandoned the SUNNAH.

Anyways, he considered everyone but his followers to be Kafir, and therefore declared WAR against the Muslim Khilafah State, forcing everyone to become a Wahhabi-Salafi or be killed.

As soon his evil Fitna started to spread, the Ulama of the Muslims World started to write Fatwas and books refuting his dark takfiri ideology.

War on Islam : "Salafi/Wahabi " Deception

British Channel 4´s Dispatches has produced a scathing documentary, called Undercover Mosque, about the negative influence of Saudi Arabia, through its promotion of Wahhabism, among the Muslim community of Britain. But the video is clear to point out that, "Wahhabism is opposed to the traditional tolerant beliefs of classical Islam". What the video does not cover, however, is that the spread of the Wahhabi interpretation of Islam is part of a larger Western agenda, involving the CIA, to denigrate Islam.

The Wahhabis insinuate themselves as legitimate members of the Muslim community, but Wahhabism was created by the British, in the eighteenth century, to undermine Islam. It has since been promoted by the state of Saudi Arabia, which was originally established by the British to achieve Western control of the world´s primary oil resource.
