what is mormonism to christianity?

>>75374170
Unrionically yes, Saudi Arabia destroyed Islam. It's funny how Islam constantly talks about unity and oneness yet they're countless sects of Islam

>>75374170
i doubt it, but even if it were, mormons don't have anywhere near the amount of power wahhabis do

>>75374373
Non existent

not even Christianity, it's pretty much like Judaism or Islam.

No.

Islam has its Mormonism and it's called Ahmadiyya Islam. Just like Mormons have an extra prophet (Joseph Smith, 1805-1844), so do the Ahmadiyya (Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, 1835–1908). So they're both quite separated from the religions they proclaim to be a part of. Christians and Muslims often don't consider Mormons and Ahmadiyya to be a part of their respective groups.

Wahhabism is another thing altogether. They are Sunni Muslims who simply believe in a very strict (but not "incorrect") adherence to Islam. Almost everything they believe is in accordance with Islam, however the level of adherence to these beliefs is unlike anything seen since the very early days of Islam, and in some ways Wahhabists are even stricter than contemporaries of Muhammad were (like Umar, Uthman). Just a very clear example of this is that Wahhabists have destroyed tombs of very notable Islamic figures that were in existence since the 6th century AD. Islam is against worshipping graves, however apparently none of the hundreds of Islamic rulers considered destroying the tombs necessary, yet the Wahhabists did. They even planned to destroy Muhammad's grave in 1803. This is the perfect example of Wahhabism - it isn't against the teachings of Islam, because Islam is clearly against idolatry and you could say Muslims do worship Muhammad's grave in some way, however it's an extremely strict interpretation.

I don't think it has a real Christian equivalent, but I guess if there were to be one, they'd be called extremist Christian revivalists.

Its a bad analogy.

Thank you. Wahhabism is what Nazism is to Conservatism.
