One of the most toxic and damaging beliefs a Muslim can have today is this: Shia are a bigger enemy to Sunnis than Israel and US invaders. What is the origin of this belief? Obviously, this belief serves the interests of Zionism and continued US occupation and suppression of Muslim lands. But few realize the origins of this doctrine. ***The reality is no Sunni religious authority historically has ever advocated this doctrine. Literally ZERO Sunni scholars have said: The Shia are a bigger enemy and danger to Sunnis than the disbelievers, and if the disbelievers are attacking Muslims, Sunnis should still prioritize fighting the Shia. So then, who originated this doctrine? It was Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. The founder of ISIS. He is the first one to propagate this new doctrine. Since 2004, he told his Wahhabi followers to stop fighting against the US occupation in Iraq and instead focus entirely on the "near enemy" i.e., the Shia of Iraq. He articulated this doctrine in a 2004 letter to Alqaeda trying to convince them to accept the doctrine (they refused). Zarqawi also gave a lengthy elaboration of the doctrine in a sermon titled Hal ataka hadith al-rafidha (“Has Word of the Rafidha Reached You?”) How did he justify this new doctrine given that the Quran and Sunna teach Muslims the exact opposite, namely to ally together against kafir invaders? Zarqawi devotes much of the sermon to takfiring (excommunicating) Shia as being kafir. He cites different Sunni authorities on this. But takfiring Shia does not actually mean that they are bigger enemies than kafir invaders. How does Zarqawi justify *that*? In fact, Ibn Taymiyya, a major authority for Wahhabis, says the opposite, namely that Shia, though deviant Muslims, are preferable to Jews, Christians, and other disbelievers (Majmu' al-Fatawa). Zarqawi does not have anything to cite from Quran, Sunna, or the statement of the Sunni scholarly tradition. So he gives a historical "evidence." As any knowledgeable Muslim will tell you, historical examples cannot be used as evidence for legal rulings, especially when they contradict established principles from the Quran and Sunna. Nonetheless, the founder of ISIS claims that his doctrine is justified because it was also the doctrine of 12th century Muslim hero, Salahaddin. Zarqawi claims that Salahaddin ignored the Christian Crusaders to fight against the Shii Fatimids. This precedent from Salahaddin, he claims, justifies his doctrine to focus on killing Shia and ignoring the US invasion. The problem is that this was not actually Salahaddin's policy. No where does Salahaddin express this doctrine (despite the existence of fabricated quotes spread by ISIS). Furthermore Salahaddin did not actually focus on Shia to the exclusion of Crusaders. The actual history shows that Salahaddin fought many Shia and Sunni factions as well as Crusaders in a mixed series of confrontations. Salahaddin also was pragmatic with the Shia in some instances. So the one historical example Zarqawi invokes to justify his new doctrine is a fabrication. But unfortunately ISIS fanboys have spent the past 20 years spreading these lies and Zarqawi's deviant doctrine. Today, many Wahhabis who otherwise nominally denounce ISIS still promote and champion the doctrine invented by the founder of ISIS. Ahmad Sharaa (Goylani) and his supporters also promote this ISIS doctrine despite being opposed to ISIS. In English, it is speakers like Rabbi Faris Hammadi, Adnan Rajeet, Farid Bahraini, Ali Dawah, Mufti Dubai bin Cholo who promote this ISIS doctrine to trick Sunnis. Sunnis need to realize that this doctrine is deviant. It has nothing to do with Sunnism. It was invented by ISIS's founder and boosted by the CIA and Mossad. Even Alqaeda rejected it. Wake up.

Wahhabism resembles deviant forms of Islamic finance. It is all about Talmudic tricks They twist Islamic teachings to deceive pious Muslims into violating clear religious rules prohibiting aiding disbelievers against Muslims. The Talmudic Wahhabi trickster says: you thought allying with disbelievers to kill Muslims is kufr and nifaq, but no, its completely halal. Allying with the British against the Ottomans is halal! Allying with the US against Iraq is halal! Allying with the US and Israel against Yemen is halal! It is like how the "Islamic banker" says that riba loans are halal, and there is no problem with giving them to Israel.

I'm proud to say this is the most-viewed documentary on Wahhabism in the English language. It has also been dubbed in Arabic and Russian. youtu.be/APA0htT-AV0

Now that the term "Wahhabi" has entered the mainstream, it is good to define it properly. Wahhabi does NOT mean "conservative Muslim." If you apply the term Wahhabi to, say, the Taliban, Ayatollah Khamenei, or the Muslim Brotherhood, you will look like an idiot. This is because Wahhabis are the mortal enemies of these groups, despite them being "conservative Muslims." Wahhabis usually view the term as pejorative and don't self identify using it (though historically they did so). So to identify Wahhabis, these are their defining features: 1. Reverence for 18th century reformist Muhammad Ibn Abd al-Wahhab, whose teachings Wahhabis implement today. 2. Hatred toward and excommunication (takfir) of all non-Wahhabi Muslims. For Wahhabis, it is haram to ally or work with non-Wahhabi Muslims because they don't even count as Muslims. 3. Eagerness to ally with non-Muslims against non-Wahhabi Muslims. This is because they view non-Wahhabi Muslims as more theologically corrupt than Jews, Christians, and even some pagans. This is why Wahhabi nations like Saudi and UAE have historically allied with the British, US, and Israel in wars against Muslims in Iraq, Iran, Yemen, etc. Standard Sunni Islam strictly prohibits this behavior. 4. Preference for 20th century Saudi-affiliated preachers over premodern Sunni religious authorities. Prinent contemporary Wahhabi groups: 1. ISIS and certain Alqaeda affiliates 2. Saudi religious figures and their followers 3. Jolani and his group of Syrian nationalists Note that, due to its sectarian nature, Wahhabi groups frequently splinter and declare war on each other. So different Wahhabi factions denounce each other. For example, Jolani broke off from ISIS and fights them, despite sharing the same fundamental beliefs as ISIS. Via Saudi petrodollars, Wahhabism has been aggressively promoted throughout the Muslim world. Many Muslims affected by this call themselves "Salafi" without realizing the roots of this ideology in the 18th century. Therefore, not all "Salafis" have these defining features of the Wahhabis. To get a deeper understanding of the historical, theological, and political dimensions of Wahhabism, watch my documentary linked in the replies.

🚨NEW ARTICLE exposing unclassified records on Ibn Saud, the founder of modern Saudi Arabia. You can read how, from the beginning, Saudi was created by the British to cause division in the Ummah. Ibn Saud mass takfired the Ottomans and all non-Wahhabi Muslims while praising the British as his cousins. The British also handpicked Ibn Saud to help establish Israel. Ibn Saud even killed his own people to protect his British masters. And then the US, under President Harry Truman, continued the legacy of paying this cheap Bedouin whore so that he could backstab the Muslims for US-Israeli interests.

This is the insanity of the Wahhabi mind virus. Now this deviant idiot is claiming that Iran has killed more Muslims than all of the Christian states (e.g., US, Russia, UK) and Israel over the last 50 years. In fact he claims that it is many multiple times higher. To Wahhabis, lying like this is a pious act, and anyone who disagrees with such blatant lying is actually a secret Shia. Notice that Wahhabis only circulate these absurd claims among each other, and brainwashed Arab populations denied access to basic information. They would never speak this way among others because it sounds so insane to anyone with the basic grasp of history. If this deviant Wahhabi propagandist thinks otherwise, I challenge him to debate the issue with me. Let him actually present evidence for his absurd claims.

Eternal shame on every Muslim ruler who didn't do anything to stop this.
