- Wahhabism is an ultra-conservative "Islam-reform movement" that started within Sunni Islam in Saudi Arabia, in 18th century. Initially, they called themselves Muwahhidun (meaning 'believers in one God') as they claimed that they are the only believers in one God, of the Muslim community. They claim that both Sunnis and Shias were deviated from the belief in one God, and became polytheist. Due to Wahhabist jihadism(Takfiri Terrorists like ISIS), as of 27 August 2016, Wahhabism has been ousted from Sunni community, by a Global Sunni conference in Grozny, Chechnya. Ahluls Sunna wal Jama’ah are the Ash’arites or Muturidis (adherents of Abu Mansur al-Maturidi's systematic theology). In matters of belief, they are followers of any of the four schools of thought (Hanafi, Shaf’ai, Maliki or Hanbali) and are also the followers of pure Sufism in doctrines, manners and [spiritual] purification. In 20th century, Wahhabis adopted the term Salafi. The Salafism(Wahhabism) doctrine can be summed up as taking "a fundamentalist approach to Islam, emulating the Prophet Muhammad and his earliest followers – al-salaf al-salih, the 'pious forefathers'; rather than living by the virtues in Quran. " "They reject religious innovation, or Bid‘ah, and support strict implementation of sharia (Islamic law)." from the beginning they supported violent means to further their cause, even against the Muslim community. Western apologists of Wahhabism divide Wahhabis into three categories: the largest group are the purists (or quietists), who avoid politics; the second largest group are the activists, who get involved in politics; and the smallest group are jihadists, who form a small minority. The name Wahhabism comes from it's founder, Ibn Abd al-Wahhab. Many adherents see this as a derogatory term coined by his opponents, and prefer it to be known as the Salafi movement. Many scholars claim that Salafism is a term applicable to several forms of puritanical Islam in various parts of the world, while Wahhabism refers to the specific Saudi school, which is seen as a more strict form of Salafism. According to Ahmad Moussalli, professor of political science at the American University of Beirut, "All Wahhabis claim to be Salafists, but not all Salafists claim to be Wahhabis". Yet others say that while Wahhabism and Salafism originally were two different things, they became practically indistinguishable in the 1970s.
