MPAC Holds Press Conference Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West"

My question about this controvery over Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West". Is what they say true? Does the Muslim Brotherhood have a plan for the world?

-Ahmed Haenni

October 12, 2008 ( from MPAC)

"We, as members of civic and religious organizations along with law enforcement, come together united against hate and extremism. We believe that the best way to counter political and religious extremism is through cooperation and coordination. Those who divide our pluralism along the lines of religious or political views only further the cause of extremism. They profit from the fear generated from propaganda while we are on the front lines of pursuing effective public policy to eradicate terrorism.

We have come together to express our deep outrage over the recent distribution of a divisive and hate-provoking DVD called "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West" to residents across the nation.

The intent of this DVD is not to fight the common threat of terrorism, but to mischaracterize Islam in a way that dehumanizes Muslims. In its own way, the DVD is designed to provoke fear in Americans, to paralyze us and turn us against the values of pluralism, egalitarianism, and respect that have made America great.


The Rest @ MPAC

Frank J. Gaffney, Jr. and Alex AlexievFrontPageMagazine.com 10/16/2008The Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) – an organization identified as a California-based Muslim Brotherhood front – convened a press conference today in Los Angeles with a senior representative of local law enforcement and members of other faiths.

The stated purpose is to unveil a new “united front” initiative called the “Coalition for Renewing American Democracy”

• The problem for the Muslim Brotherhood is that millions of copies of “Obsession” have been distributed around the United States in recent weeks in national magazines, to several hundred college campuses, at both political conventions, and in local newspapers. As a result, many millions of Americans have had an opportunity to be educated about the ambitions of those who adhere to the Islamic political and legal system known as “Shariah” – namely, the realization through “jihad” of a world-wide and brutally repressive Islamic theocracy.
• “Obsession” utilizes actual footage of radical Islamist rallies and calls to violent jihad against America, along with interviews of Muslim and non-Muslim experts on radical Islamism.

Dallas Trial revleals Secretive Security Measures Taken By Holy Land Foundation

DALLAS - The Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development's (HLF) close ties to a Dallas area computer business were discussed extensively in the foundation's terror support trial Tuesday.

Infocom was run by HLF director Ghassan Elashi and his brothers.

• On December 17, 2002 Infocom and the Elashis were indicted for financial transactions with Libya, Syria and Hamas leader Mousa Abu Marzook.
• Infocom received at least $250,000 from Marzook. Infocom was found guilty on all 10 counts and Elashi and his brothers were found guilty on additional charges related to Marzook as well as computer equipment charges.
• Ghassan Elashi, who is on trial now for being part of an alleged conspiracy to rout millions of dollars to Hamas, is serving an 80-month prison sentence for his Infocom conviction.

Defense attorneys objected to the use of evidence collected from Infocom, alleging that it amounted to double jeopardy, the principle that a defendant cannot be tried twice for the same crime using the same evidence. But evidence seized during FBI searches at Infocom was admitted despite those objections.

• Some of the evidence related to the procedures of Holy Land Foundation.
• FBI Agent Robert Miranda testified that there was "a lot of foot traffic between Infocom and the Holy Land Foundation." Since Infocom's office was right across the street from HLF, this interaction was made convenient to the point that the FBI was aware that HLF had internet service across the street.

Inside the Infocom office, FBI agents found a document describing security procedures to be used by HLF employees. Among the subjects outlined in the document were:

• Safety of personal residences, work apartments, cars and possessions
• Hotel safety
• Document Safety
• Communication Safety
• Telephone Communications
• Communication via fax
• Communication via live (human) points
• Travel and Transportation safety

Federal prosecutor, James Jacks, had Miranda read out each header contained in the document to emphasize the level of security that HLF felt that it needed to implement to avoid detection.

Further information addressed in the courtroom was under the header Communication via live (human points) which stated "Coordinating with the Maintenance Committee in putting in place a covert monitoring system."

Basic security also included "not exposing parts of the work's administrative skeleton." Jacks argued that this information was deemed necessary by HLF in order to prevent anyone from discovering their relations with specially designated terrorists.

Earlier, Miranda discussed people from overseas utilized by HLF. Board meeting minutes from 1999 discussed telephone fundraising, Miranda said.

At these meetings, HLF officials analyzed the difficulties they were having with a shortage of speakers. The shortage prevented the group from holding fundraising events in some major cities.

Investigators were able to connect many of the speakers who were used in the HLF fundraising calls to Hamas, however, by searching in the personal phone book of Hamas leader Marzook.

• Marzook was arrested by federal officials in 1995 and his belonging were seized. The phone book contained the names of other Hamas officials, Miranda said.
• Not only did the FBI have toll records that show the numbers called, but during the FBI's raid of the HLF offices in 2001, they found phone bills.
• Those bills showed calls that were made to a representative of Hamas based in Iran.
• Miranda also discussed the family connections between some of the defendants and Hamas officials. Marzook's wife, for example, is Elashi's cousin.
• Defendant Mohamed El-Mezain is a cousin of Marzook's.
• Defendant Mufid Abdelqader is the half-brother of Hamas leader Khaled Mishaal.
• Former HLF Executive Director Shukri Abu Baker's brother was a Hamas leader in Sudan.

Miranda's testimony is expected to continue when court resumes Wednesday morning.

Alms for Jihad Update, October 2008

The reason Alms for Jihad is controversial , is because the entire connection between some Islamic Charities and Islamist Mujhid (Read-al Qaeda or related terrorist) is deliberately set up so that one hand does not know what the other is doing.

If a poor Muslim shows up for food, medical care and receives cash to help them in their small business in a country like Somalia. The Muslim aid worker does not ask if he is also an Islamist Mujhid Emir leading a unit of Shabaab fighters (which is listed as a terrorist group by the US). This may be one of the reasons some aid workers in Somalia have been killed - they are resupplying the enemy.

You see, every American or European hand that:

• earned the money
• collected the money
• Sent the money, (check out the hawala process)
• Purchased the supplies
• prepared the food
• prepared the Small business grants (That were later used to purchase arms in the al Baraka arms market in Somalia.)

They will all vehemently deny they are supporting terrorism.

Yet the net affect is that terrorists are armed and equipped to kill Westerners, and often with them Muslim women and children.

Under English libel law, since these hand-to-hand transactions cannot be linked to a terrorist act, a person may not even hint or suggest it as a possibility.

This is not the case in America.

I finally got a copy of the 2006 book "Alms for Jihad" which exposes groups in this kind of relationship, including NGOs, which was pulped in 2006 in a lawsuit settlement in England, in which where the person who the authors sued never had to show up in court, and never addressed the charges in the book in the open.

Since it took me almost three years to get a copy, I intend to give a chapter by chapter review of what is said in this 374 page book.

Set "Alms for Jihad Update" in your search software, and I will post my summaries as I get through them

-Ahmed Haenni

Notes

* neither the publisher or authors are even aware of these posts, as far as I know.
* I work and live in America; all my opinions are my own, and I will use Alms for Jihad as a source. I will verify its claims as best I can.

al Shabaab- Somali Salafiyaah Bring Death and Destruction to Muslims in Somalia

Somali Salafiyaah bring death and destruction to Muslims in Somalia. Mukhtaar Robow "hopes the people they killed were martyrs"

However,

The spokesman firstly, sent his condolences to the families of civilians who were martyred by enemy bombardment of bakaara market yesterday night and today, emphasizing that those families should beseech Allah (swt) to reward them Jahannam.

Is Salafism Inherently Racist? - The Jury is Out

In part five of my series Why Blackamerican Muslims Don’t Stand For Justice, I mentioned the racist beliefs held and taught by one of the major leaders of the 1990’s Salafi Movement, Imam Abu Usamah Ath-Thahabi (a Blackamerican), that the Arabs are superior to the non-Arabs (or in other words: the Arabs are the “Master Race”)

My purpose here is to show the insidious nature of this movement in promoting the RACIAL superiority of Arabs. And while the Salafis happen to be the only ones brazen (or foolish) enough to openly preach this swill, it is nevertheless a tightly held secret in many classical Islamic texts. These Salafis actually want to give this repugnant teaching the status of religious dogma. Needless to say, Abu Usamah’s email quoted below explains why so many brothers in that movement suffer from inferiority complexes and try to be Arab. This is what he wrote: below the fold

ARABS are BETTER than Non-Arabs…

Alhamdulilah Was Salaatu Was Salaamu ‘Alaa Rasullilah:

Before dealing with this topic, it should be noted that recognized scholars of the Sunnah differed amongst themselves in this issue. Therefore, people should be careful about the way they choose to deal with the person that has an opposing view to his. If a person takes an opposing view to what is correct and his mistake and faulty opinion is due to him simply being human but he made every effort to follow the truth, then clearly this person is not blameworthy!

The Rest of this @ Salafi Burnout

Who is this guy?

From this post in the Shimron Letters, I can't tell who this guy is Salafi - Ikhwan? Analyst? He reads like a college professor who is Ikhwan pretending to be analyst...Anyone know?

-Ahmend Haenni

Omar Bakri Muhammad Salafi or Kafir?

Sheikh Omar Bakri is an Islamist leader of many Salafiyya in England. He left and went to Lebanon. Though a British Citizen, He is no longer allowed to return there.

In this very recent interview, he explains why the true Salafi must kill innocent women and children, and that the terrorism of the Mujahadin is blessed and the terrorism of the Americans is deploreable.

It is, of course, a true representation of Salfi doctrine. Ask your Imam if he is Kafir, or if his da'wa is true for the Salafiyya.

This is my concern for the American. - Where will the doctrine lead the American Salafi?

-Ahmed Haenni


The Following are excerpts from an interview with Lebanese Islamist sheikh Omar Bakri, which aired on OTV on August 22, 2008. To view this clip on MEMRI TV, visit


"The Problem With Britain Is that Its Law Is Not the Law Sent Down by Allah"Sheikh Omar Bakri: "This is true Salafism: Pure and complete religious preaching, and we only brandish our weapons against those who fight us.

• If we are fought and prevented from calling people to join Islam, a right that everybody has... You call this 'freedom of expression,' but I call it a religious duty to preach for the sake of Allah.
• If I am prevented from performing this duty, I must either defend myself or emigrate. They prevented me from doing this in Britain, so I emigrated to Lebanon."

Interviewer: "What is your problem with the British? We all know that you left before they decided you would not be allowed to return, and revoked your British citizenship, even though your family still has citizenship."

Bakri: "The problem with Britain is that its law is not the law sent down by Allah. This country says that it implements democracy, freedom of expression, personal liberties, and the right to own property, but when I expressed my belief by preaching to Islam - there was an impressive response in the universities, and George and Michael became Omar and Abd Al-Rahman, and Jane became Hadija...

"Within 20 Years, British Society Will Have A Muslim Majority"

"When they saw that Islam was spreading in British universities at an unprecedented rate, and that the non-Muslims - the Hindus, the Christians and the Jews - were accepting Islam at an average rate of 21 people a day, it began to endanger their society. Within 20 years, British society will have a Muslim majority. Of course, this cannot be allowed by this secular regime, which wants to strip society of any religious values connected to Allah.[...]

"In cases of self-defense, there are victims, who are not intentionally targeted. They are killed by mistake, as collateral damage, not intentionally... When America bombs Sudan, Somalia, and Iraq, and sows destruction, the Muslims have the right to retaliate, and then there might be victims.[...]

"Why do people say that Islam is being distorted today, when these are jihad operations against an enemy occupying Muslim lands? What's the difference between America in Iraq and Israel in Palestine?"

Interviewer: "There is a difference between fighting an American or Israeli soldier, who is occupying my land..."

Bakri: "When the American soldier takes off his uniform and wears pajamas, it becomes forbidden to fight him?"

"There Are Two Types of Terrorism, Blessed and Deplorable - [The Mujahideen's] Terrorism is Blessed"

Interviewer: "Was there a military base in the Twin Towers, which were destroyed?"

Bakri: "It was not just the Twin Towers, but also the U.S. Department of Defense... The 9/11 operation is a matter subject to personal judgment. Some people were against, and others supported it…

"Interviewer: "When explosives are placed on trains and in coffee shops... If I am under occupation, and I carry out attacks against it, that's one thing...

"Bakri: "You can call such operations terrorist operations par excellence. But today, America represents the camp of Western terrorism, and there is another camp of terrorism within Islam.

But there are two types of terrorism: Blessed and deplorable. The same is true with regard to violence. Violence can either take lives or save lives. In both cases, it is violence.

• America's violence is meant to take lives, and so its terrorism is deplorable, whereas the violence the mujahideen use for defense and retaliation is meant to protect lives and defend honor. Their terrorism is blessed.

Not all terrorism is deplorable.[...]"The problem with Hizbullah is that it believes in resistance for the sake of the land. We believe that fighting for the sake of land..."

Interviewer: "... is forbidden, because fighting should be for the sake of Allah."

Bakri: "I was created from mud, I fight for the mud of Shaba', and I will be buried in mud - my entire history is muddy... I fight for the sake of God who lives and does not die. I fight to glorify the word of Allah. If in Lebanon, they would fight to glorify the word of Allah, I'd say: Fine, let them fight for Shaba', liberate it, and instate the law of Allah. But if all they want is to liberate the Shaba' Farms, and then instate what is known here as the 'Lebanese law' - I do not accept this."Interviewer: "You are talking about Lebanon as if you do not belong here."

Though I Was Given British Citizenship, "I Refused to Swear That I Would Obey the Queen or the Laws - I Obey Only Allah and His Messenger"

Bakri: "I belong to Islam. I did not belong to Britain when I lived there. I was a Muslim living in Britain, now I am a Muslim living in Lebanon, and tomorrow I will be a Muslim living in Iraq. God only knows, I may be a Muslim in prison."

Interviewer: "So why did you take British citizenship?"

Bakri: "I didn't take it. They gave it to me."

Interviewer: "So why didn't you reject it?"

Bakri: "I did not carry their ID. I did not have a British passport. I used a Lebanese passport to get back here."

Male guest: "They took it away from him."

Interviewer: "Why didn't he reject it beforehand?"

Bakri: "They took away my right to become a citizen. They didn't give me a passport because I refused to pledge allegiance to the queen. My wife and children got passports because they were born there. I refused to swear that I would obey the queen or the laws. I obey only Allah and His Messenger."

Paying For Jihad Through Dallas Companies

I understand that it may be true that there is a a large technical staffing group in Texas, (Dallas?)I will call Company *** , reverse money laundering money for Jihad in an novel way. Some of its client companies, I will call Company $$$ pays the funds and Company *** makes sure it gets to the Jihadis.

It works like this:

• Company $$$ writes a contract to Company *** , and pays an agreed upon hourly rate for a specific technical consultant's services, which it may legitimately need.
• There is a non-written agreement that the hourly contract rate is already marked up a certain (small percentage) and that money will be used for Jihad or to "promote Islam".
• The consultant works the hours, turns a time card signed by a $$$ company officer.
• Company *** then pays the contractor, it's employee, a lessor rate
• (nothing special here - that's how it works in the staffing industry).
• Company *** then bills Company $$$, who writes the check
• This is all clean and auditable

At this point Company *** budgets generous matching donation programs, and makes donations to target non-profit groups in the name of a variety of their many employees working all over Dallas.

• If a Company *** employee finds out that a donation has been made in their name they may be informed that this is a "benefit" they offer the employee, though it does not befit the employee directly.
• Employees may or may not know about the programs, or are coached into selecting the receiving institutions, and are often unfamiliar with American ways of doing business.
• The Receiving Targeted non-profit understands that any funds from Company *** are designated for funding for food, medical supplies, clothes, petrol, and "miscellaneous expenses in cash" to geographic areas where Jihadist groups show up as "the poor."
• This frees up the rest of the Non-profit's money to be used for what they consider their "real causes" like poverty.

Once the hidden Funds are now clean and in the system:

• The targeted non-profit makes sure that this resupply happens in the area where Jihadists are active, like Somalia, Algeria, Morocco, Mauritania, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Congo.
• The targeted non-profit also pays to operate "off the books"diamond mines, where the diamonds are then used to pay for arms.
• The targeted non-profit finances Micro and not-so-micro finance operations that fund other small business in unregulated areas. The Revenue goes directly for arms.
• The targeted non-profit also funds the expenses of Militarizing Salafi-Qutbists who teach and recruit Jihadis in the the Dawa systems in South Africa, Angola, Malawi, Kenya, Liberia, Nigeria, Mali, Niger.

To discover where and how this is going on:

• Look for a staffing company to whom client companies are willing to pay above market rates for consultants, without using multiple bids.
• Find smaller high-tech H1-(b) visa staffing companies in the area who get stiffed in this way - they will tell you about Company ***
• Look at their employee donation and donation matching programs
• Hawalas (remittance companies) are the only way many consultant's can get their money home. - Are donations being handled this way?
• Look at a Company $$$, when they have managers who may have an interest in funding Jihad, who make consultant or hiring or contracting decisions.
• Look at a Company $$$ when they have "anti-zionist" written goals

Death of Canadian Somali Saleman Abdirahman in Denver

In the Shimron Letters, a blog that posts news about Jihad in Africa, there is a recent post about a Canadian of Somali decent who was found dead two days ago in a a Denver Hotel room, with a pound of Sodium Cyanide poison, a week before the city is to the host the Democractic National Convention.

Somalia is a predomintly Sunni country, and the Southern Parts of the country are dominated by a number of Salafi Jihadist groups. several of which have al Qaeda connections.

This is not to say that Salafi Jihadists are behind this action in Denver, but keep an eye on this story about Saleman Abdirahman and the Ottawa's Somali Centre for Family Services,

Does Muhammed Masood have Dubai Connection?

This is unsubstantiated rumor, but noted foir future reference:

-Ahmed

According to an anonymous tip I received this morning, Masood's brother Hamid* (former imam of the Islamic Society of Greater Worcester) has been busy travelling from Pakistan to Dubai, where he purchased two luxury condos, one for himself and one for his brother Masood.

• did any of that money to buy condos in Dubai come from the Muslim American Society (MAS) fundraisers for Masood? MAS has held several fundraisers for Masood over the past two years now, including one held in Roxbury two weeks ago, down the street from the Islamic Society of Boston.
• Masood's attorneys filed a memorandum to the court in May 2008, saying that Masood had an income of -$961, and they requested that the court waive his fine. From a leafy 52-acre estate in Sharon to a luxury condo in Dubai? Not too shabby.

North American Islamic Trust Again Hits the Public Eye

The Muslim-outreach coordinator to the presidential campaign of Barack Obama has resigned amid questions about his involvement in an Islamic investment fund and various Islamic groups.Schiff Hardin.

Chicago lawyer Mazen Asbahi, who was appointed volunteer national coordinator for Muslim American affairs by the Obama campaign on July 26, stepped down Monday after an Internet newsletter wrote about his brief stint on the fund's board, which also included a fundamentalist imam. A corporate lawyer at the firm of Schiff Hardin LLP, Mr. Asbahi tendered his resignation after he and the Obama campaign received emailed inquiries about his background from The Wall Street Journal.

He did not respond to the email or a message left at his law office; the campaign released a letter in which Mr. Asbahi said he did not want to be a distraction.

• In 2000, Mr. Asbahi briefly served on the board of Allied Assets Advisors Fund, a Delaware-registered trust. Its other board members at the time included Jamal Said, the imam at a fundamentalist-controlled mosque in Illinois.

"I served on that board for only a few weeks before resigning as soon as I became aware of public allegations against another member of the board," Mr. Asbahi said in his resignation letter.
.
Other Web sites, some pro-Republican and others critical of fundamentalist Islam, also have reported on the background of Mr. Asbahi. He is a frequent speaker before several groups in the U.S. that scholars have associated with the Muslim Brotherhood.

• The Justice Department named Mr. Said an unindicted co-conspirator in the racketeering trial last year of several alleged Hamas fund-raisers, which ended in a mistrial.
• He has also been identified as a leading member of the group in news reports going back to 1993.
• Mr. Said is the imam at the Bridgeview Mosque in Bridge-view, Ill., outside Chicago.
• He left the board of the Islamic fund in 2005, Securities and Exchange Commission filings state. A message left for Mr. Said at the mosque was not returned.

Allied Asset Advisors is a subsidiary of the North American Islamic Trust. The trust, which is supported financially by the government of Saudi Arabia, holds title to many mosques in the U.S. and promotes a conservative brand of Islam compatible with the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood and also akin to the fundamentalist style predominant in Saudi Arabia.

Allied executives did not respond to inquiries.

Sayyid Qutb

Sayyid Qutb (pronounced [ˈsaɪjɪd ˈqʊtˁb]) (also Saïd, Syed, Seyyid, Sayid, or Sayed; last name also Koteb (rather common), Qutub, Kotb, or Kutb) (Arabic: سيد قطب‎; October 9, 1906[1] – August 29, 1966) was an Egyptian author, Islamist, and the leading intellectual of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood in the 1950s and '60s. He is best known in the Muslim world for his work on what he believed to be the social and political role of Islam, particularly in his books Social Justice and Ma'alim fi-l-Tariq (Milestones). His extensive Quranic commentary Fi Zilal al-Qur'an (In the shade of the Qur'an) has contributed significantly to modern perceptions of Islamic concepts such as jihad, jahiliyyah, and ummah. Islamists consider him to be a martyr (shahid) because of his execution by Nasser's government.
In the West Qutb is known for his intense dislike of the United States[2] and is sometimes described as "the man whose ideas would shape Al Qaeda." [3][4][5][6] Today, his supporters are often identified as Qutbists.

Qutbism and Whahhabism: Two Tenets of Salafism

Qutbism: Encyclopedia II - Qutbism - The Tenets of Qutbism
The main tenet of Qutbist ideology is the belief that almost all of Islam is heading into the era of pre-Islamic Arabs or Jahiliyya, and must be reconquered.

• It is one of the two main strands of Salafi thought, the other being Wahhabism. Qutb outlined his ideas in his book Milestones.
• The main principle of Qutbism is clearly stated when Qutb writes that "Muslims have drifted away from their religion and their way of life, and have forgotten that Islam appointed them as representatives of God and made them responsible for learning all the sciences and developing various capabilities......

The main tenet of Qutbist ideology is that the Muslim community (or the Muslim community outside of a vanguard fighting to reestablish it) "has been extinct for a few centuries"

[2] having reverted to Godless ignorance (Jahiliyya), and must be re-conquered for Islam.
Qutb outlined his ideas in his book Ma'alim fi-l-Tariq (aka Milestones).

• Adherence to Sharia as sacred law accessible to humans, without which Islam cannot exist
  adherence to Sharia as a complete way of life that will bring not only justice, but complete freedom from servitude, peace, personal serenity, scientific discovery and other benefits;
• Avoidance of Western and non-Islamic "evil and corruption," including socialism and nationalism;
• Vigilance against Western and Jewish conspiracies against Islam
• A two-pronged attack of 1) preaching to convert and 2) jihad to forcibly eliminate the "structures" of Jahiliyya.
• The importance of offensive Jihad to eliminate Jahiliyya not only from the Islamic homeland but from the face of the earth.

Some, such as Dale C. Eikmeier, a strategic planner at the US Army War College, give a broader definition of Qutbism. Eikmeier calls it "a fusion of puritanical and intolerant Islamic orientations," that includes not only Qutb's ideas but those of Abul Ala Maududi, Hassan al Banna, and even Shia elements,"to justify armed jihad in the advance of Islam, and other violent methods utilized by twentieth century militants. ...

• Qutbism advocates violence and justifies terrorism against non-Muslims and apostates in an effort to bring about the reign of God.
• Others, i.e., Ayman Al-Zawahiri, Abdullah Azzam, and Osama bin Laden built terrorist organizations based on the principles of Qutbism and turned the ideology of Islamic-Fascism into a global action plan."[3]

Wahhabism

Wahhabism (Arabic: Al-Wahhābīyya الوهابية) or Wahabism is a conservative reformist call of Sunni Islam attributed to Muhammad ibn Abd-al-Wahhab, an 18th century scholar from what is today known as Saudi Arabia, who advocated a return to the practices of the first three generations of Islamic history.

Wahhabism is the dominant form of Islam in Saudi Arabia and Qatar,[1] and is also popular in Kuwait, Egypt, U.A.E., Bahrain, Morocco, Algeria and Mauritania. It is often referred to as a "sect"[1] or "branch"[2] of Islam, though both its supporters and its opponents[3] reject such designations.

• The primary doctrine of Wahhabism is Tawhid, or the uniqueness and unity of God.[4] Ibn Abdul Wahhab was influenced by the writings of Ibn Taymiyya and questioned medieval interpretations of Islam, claiming to rely on the Quran and the Hadith.[4]
• He preached against a "perceived moral decline and political weakness" in the Arabian peninsula and condemned idolatry, the popular cult of saints, and shrine and tomb visitation.[4]
• The term "Wahhabi" (Wahhābīya) was first used by opponents of ibn Abdul Wahhab[citation needed]. It is considered derogatory by the people it is used to describe, who prefer to be called Muwahiddun.[5][6]
• The terms "Wahhabism" and "Salafism" are often used interchangeably, but Wahhabism has also been called "a particular orientation within Salafism,"[7] an orientation some consider ultra-conservative.[8][9]
