What is Wahhabism? This from the Tehran Times:
For over 250 years, Wahhabism has posed a great threat to Islamic society. The ultra-conservative movement is allegedly based on the teachings of the Sunni jurist Ahmad ibn Hanbal, and the ideology was later revised by the Salafists.
After the eighteenth century, Wahhabism spread to various parts of the Islamic world as a highly politicized school of thought. A thorough examination of the ideology and its history clearly shows that it was initially devised and promoted by colonialists in order to sow discord among Muslims.
Many historical accounts, including the Memoirs of Mr. Hempher, The British Spy to the Middle East, show that Britain’s Southern Department created Wahhabism, which takes an intolerant view of other interpretations of Islam and other religions. The Southern Department was in charge of Britain’s colonial affairs before the establishment of the Colonial Office, which itself was later merged into the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
This article attempts to elaborate on the facts leading to the inception of Wahhabism and what it has done to create suspicion about other currents of Islam, including the Shia ideology. Based on this, we will illustrate the irrationality of the thoughts and opinions promoted by Wahhabis and their crimes against other believers. Mr. Hempher, the famous British spy, reveals in his memoirs that he trained the eighteenth century theologian Muhammad Ibn Abd al-Wahhab and helped him found the Wahhabi movement, in line with the wishes of Britain’s Southern Department.

Meet Obama’s Wahhabist Relatives
While discussion of Obama’s connections to his Muslim family in Kenya is an acceptable topic for discussion in the Arab world, it is viewed as a great taboo in the United States. But why is that so? This taboo should be considered unfair at best, purely prejudiced at worst. Is it fair, after all, that we censor such discussions just because Obama’s relatives are Muslim?
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) should condemn the media for keeping a tight lid on the subject, and it’s high time to go beyond what is disclosed by President Obama in his book, Dreams From My Father, or Wikipedia’s limited information, which includes the only photo released by the Obama family:
For the purposes of this article, we will cover only three of the closest Kenyan relatives to president Obama:
1. Sarah, Barack’s beloved and benevolent grandmother.
2. Sayid Obama, his closest favorite uncle.
3. Musa Ismail Obama, his first cousin and Sayid’s main sidekick.
