#1 And the clock continues to tick.

#2 While the Wahhabis are the widest source of Islamoterrorism today they are not the only source.

The Shia in Iran terrorize Christians, bahai and sunnis.

Non wahabbi (although Salafist) sunnis are responsible for the massacres in Dafar and were responsible for the east Timor massacres and the Armenian massacres.

And of course the worst of such massacres were the 8 centuries of Jihad against Hindus and Bhuddists in south Asia.

You simply can't blame all this on the Wahhabis.

#3 If God selected Mohammad to be his final messenger, then who are these people that have changed God's message? Infidels or worse?

#4 the wahabbis claim, not without reason, that they are reclaiming Mohammud's message from the corrupted other sects

in that sense, wahabi was Martin Luther

#5 So many have written about their hopes for an Islamic Reformation. It's already happening, unfortunately, the Wahhabis are leading it.

What mhw said.

Even the Sufis (loved by LLLs as peaceful, touchy-feely mystics) had their jihad killing spree. I don't have time right now, but I'll try to dig up a link to corroborate.

#7 Google "Sufi" and "jihad" and you'll find a surfeit of good information. It looks like Sufism may well be a mystical version of Sunni Islam, but violent jihad against non-Muslims is central to that mysticism. And, "humiliation of the kufr is the honour of Islam," according to one of Sufism's main theologians.

#8 The Ismaili (a Shia splinter group dating from early in Islam) and the Ahmadiyya (fairly recent Sufi splinter group which also incorporates a bit of hinduism and bits of other stuff) come pretty close to being non violent.

#9 could've sworn Mo's word was untranscribable in other than his original meaning and word, according to Allan and the Imam du jour. Infidels!

Hey, we can try. It's not as if they are totally undeserving of blame and if ever there was a particular body of flaming @ssholes to make an example out of, it would be them.
