Saudi Arabia, Wahhabism and the Spread of Sunni Theofascism

Before you get comfortable, get something to drink and snack on because this is a long read, but it is one you cannot miss. This is the best article explaining Wahhabism I have ever read. Please, take the time to understand what we are up against. It is worth the time.

The terms Islamofascism and theofascism have been frequently misused by Westerners to refer to virtually all forms of radical Islamism, but they are fitting appellations for Wahhabism today.[2] The sect’s rejection of individual liberties, disparagement and reduction of women’s rights and status,[3] disregard for the intrinsic value of human life, and encouragement of violence against unbelievers, are unparalleled among Islamic fundamentalist movements.

Former CIA Director R. James Woolsey has used the term “Sunni theocratic totalitarianism,”[4] a term that highlights both the movement’s “will to power” over the most minute aspects of Muslim daily life and its global ambitions. He also notes that its adherents do not raise the banner of Islam in pursuit of specific national, political, or territorial gains. Al-Qaeda’s second in command, Ayman al-Zawahiri has sharply rebuked the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas[5] and Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood for participating in national elections.[6]
