If that were true then we wouldn't have had some really, really nasty guys coming out of the Iranian Cultural Centres here in Pakistan, in the past ! No one...has a monopoly on Terrorism...except the one who commit it and those who instigate it ! One might even argue what the Pakistani Establishment has been incessantly talking about for the past 5-6 years i.e those terrorists who blow themselves up in Pakistan have connections with India or even the United States ! Ironically enough the Afghan Taliban who were actually recognized by Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the UAE...haven't been involved in a single incident against Pakistani Forces or the People of Pakistan ! Additionally, I would counsel you to actually read the works of 'Abdul Wahab' because, whereas I may not agree with it wholeheartedly, the idea was really good and no where does he talk about such barbarity that is instigated by these terrorists !
You are only analysing it in the context of your country, that too impartially and in a very selfish manner.
- Sectarian shia-sunni war in iraq, claimed 500k lives. Suicide bombers mainly of Saudi origin.
- Wahabi ideology in Afghanistan has never allowed the country to remain at peace since 1978 after the communist revolution. Killed countless in war against USSR and insurgency against government. Civil war. Then the US invasion.
- Destruction of Chechnya, hundreds of thousands killed due to this extremist ideology. Whole city destroyed
- 9/11 and numerous other terrorist attacks.
- Saddam, backed by these Saudis, killed hundreds of thousands of shias ......
More?
I have read Wahab's "Kitab-at-Tawhid". At first glance you would find nothing harmful there. But it is the mode of interpretation which is the culprit. At that time it is understandable as some muslims were deviant from true islam and worshipping graves etc. but at present, that "mode" of interpretation has become a culprit in itself. Certain quranic verses (I can bring the examples) are being interpreted as permission to kill non-believers when actually the context under which those verses were revealed is something else entirely. I consider "wahabi" ideology to be at the root of this (not Abdul wahab himself) because the mode of interpretation comes from his literatures.
