The True Image of the WAHABIA MOVEMENT [Electronic resources] نسخه متنی

9 - Whom does the Wahabi serve?

Muslims are obliged to give first priority to upholding
Muslims' interest. But do the Wahabis actually adhere to
this principle? Did they ever oppose colonial and
imperialist plots against Muslim countries? What
contributions did they make to counter the imperialist
and Zionist interests in Muslim countries? And finally is
it true that they are loyal to Western powers and have
helped them to gain access to Muslims' resources, and
thus compromising their sovereignty and dignity?

It is clear to every Muslim that the Wahabis have
faithfully served Western interests in Islamic countries.
Furthermore, history of this group since the early days
of its founder reveal not the slightest concern for
developing Muslim communities through fighting poverty
and illiteracy and upholding the rule of sharia and
justice. Instead the Wahabis concentrated on labeling
Muslims as heretics and idolaters who deserve to be put
to death and their possessions looted. Nothing catches
their interest and fires their enthusiasm except finding
a grave which they believe must be destroyed or attacking
anyone who asks the Prophet for intercession with Allah.

Under this banner they launched a vicious campaign
against Muslims, murdering, looting and spreading discord
and schism. But the safety of Muslim countries and
communities against foreign attack was never one of their
concerns. Thus, the Wahabi princes and religious leaders
turned a blind eye to the occupation of Jerusalem, the
fate of Bosnian and Lebanese Muslim and the American
hegemony over Islamic countries and exploitation of their
oil resources.

At the same time they are outraged by the tomb of
Hamza ibn Abd al- Mutalib which the Companions visited
and prayed at and by the shrine of the Prophet's
grandson, al-Hussain ibn Ali which the Companions and
early Muslims travelled long distances to visit it - and
even during the lifetime of Ahmed ibn Hanbal as mentioned
earlier. It is also pertinent to wonder why those Wahabis
are not moved by the embargo imposed on the Libyan people
as they were by the gifts they found at the Prophet's
tomb.

It is regrettable that so much of their time, effort
and financial resources have been squandered on trivial
issues which attract and deceive only the simple-minded.
Why the Wahabis choose to focus on such issues can be
answered in the following points:

First

, their minds are closed and their
thinking is rigid and superficial. As their writings and
arguments indicate, they appear to be incapable of any
profound thoughts.

Second

, they fail to take into consideration
basic facts about human nature and current developments
in human societies. This is clearly seen in their
disregard of religious, social sciences and scientific
research and their total devotion to secondary and
trivial issues which have no significance for the present
times.

Third

, their blunt language, strong criticism
and obtuse viewpoints indicate that they hold no good
intentions for the Islamic nation and its welfare.

Fourth

, their open loyalty to Islam's enemies
is a fact requiring no further proof. It is now clear to
all that the Wahabis are subservient to the West more
than any other faction. As a result of this blind
loyalty, the invading Zionist and imperialist forces have
found it easy to penetrate Islamic countries and to
destroy or plunder their resources and subjugate their
populations. The Wahabis have given these foreign powers
all the support they needed to realize their selfish
objectives. This support has also made possible the
establishment of the Zionist entity in the heart of the
Muslim nation, and they continue to give it direct and
indirect support. The Wahabis have also consistently
helped pro-West regimes to put down liberation movements
and to suppress the Islamic reawakening movement which
has given them and other unpopular regimes a strong cause
for worry.
