Is Wahhabism the Muslim equivalent of the Reformation? Please

>>8589554
No, the Wahhabis came into prominence when they gave moral backing to the Saud campaign to control the Arabian peninsula.

Ira Lepidus and Hugh Kennedy are a good start.

>>8589554
Although there are notable similarities between Wahhabist thought and the Reformation, notably that they both believe that there has a been an introduction of impurities into their respective faiths, Wahhab had a desire to resurrect the time of Mohammed whereas the Reformers were less interested in the past

are they luddites?

>>8589856
yes and no. If a technology is useful to them they'll obviously use it but a lot of the time they ban modern items

>>8589871
>they ban modern items
Could you name some examples?

>Is Wahhabism the Muslim equivalent of the Reformation?

Salafism is a more accurate term than Wahabbism, but yes, basically.

>Please recommend me some works that will help me make sense of Islam.

What is Islam? by Shahab Ahmed

>the Reformers were less interested in the past

Er what? They literally saw themselves as returning to the spirit of the Apostolic Church by preaching the Word.

Wahhabism is a CIA creation. Spooks invented it to create a radicalized Islamic philosophy in order to create terrorism. Terrorism is a false flag operation, all these terrorists are agents, coerced by agents, copycat useful idiots, etc. It's all theater. You don't think the truth about realities in the world are actually known by the majority of people do you? Take a close look at human nature, no one is good so it's extremely naive to believe the truth is what 'they' say it is.

Also, forcing a people to engage in total war is a tactic the government also uses. Destabilizing a country in order to cause chaos to conquer it, divide and conquer.

>not wondering why they deleted bin Laden's statements of denying responsibility for 9/11 Wikipedia
>criticizes Wikipedia, when it has sources in the footnotes
By the way, the source is directly from the video with bin Laden stating it, you drooling retard.

>I'm a dumb sheeple
Damn right, boy.

>>8589969
what is it rn with any discussion i see on the web getting derailed by tinfoil hatters

maybe its because of the coming election... conspiracy theorists on edge

>Is Wahhabism the Muslim equivalent of the Reformation?
Wahhabism is the complete opposite of the Reformation.

Only thing resembles Reformation in Islam is the 20th Century Turkish Kemalist-Islam preached by guys like these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ya%C5%9Far_Nuri_%C3%96zt%C3%BCrk

>>8589969
You're the same kind of retard that denied the government was spying on citizens with mass surveillance and then after it was exposed then claim it shouldn't be a problem 'if you have nothing to hide.' Fucking morons. I fucking hate this new generation Z fascist sjw nu-/pol/. Bunch of pro-police state shillcucks. You deserve to be killed in terrorist attacks by your own government, because that's what's happening.

>thinking elections matter

They only matter to fool morons like you into thinking you have a choice.
