(8 posts)Wahabb, who the Wahabbists take their name from, died in 1792, and was himself inspired by a much earlier writer. Wahabbists actually are the exact opposite of how you described them. The Saud family are Wahabbists, the strategy they use to spread Islam is through the economy, oil, and cloak-and-dagger means. The clarification needs to be made that the Hussein family as related to Saddam Hussein as Barack Hussein Obama. Hussein actually wasn't Saddam's family name. Also the Saudi family was setting up, ruling, and being deposed from Kingdoms in Arabia for 300 years. There wasn't any recent intervention by the West that put them there, the Head of the Hussein family tried to take the title Caliph after the Ottomans fell. The Saud family won. And calling Arabia, Saudi Arabia is the same thing as calling Obama's term, Obama's America. In Arabic they don't have the possessive 's like in English. Still you were a lot closer to what the truth is than anyone who only goes with your last sentence.
