Wahabism – a New Elephant in the Room
<https://maleccha.wordpress.com/2015/11/16/wahabism-a-new-elephant-in-the-room/>

I’m just amazed by humanity and its failure to understand the basic
complexities. We have a new enemy called – Wahabism, a mere philosophy-
product of its time, in the room. Founder of Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab
preached the same in 18th century, which  Martin Luther (not to be confused
with Martin Luther King) propagated in 15th century, or Swami Dayanand
Saraswati in 19th century. They all desired ‘cleansing’ of their respective
religious philosophies.  It will be worthwhile to say Abd al Wahab was
Martin Luther or Swami Dayanand of Islam.

By stating that I’m not celebrating or condemning either of the three. Abd
al Wahhab’s mission was preaching puritanical Islam.  Martin Luther called
for public murder of Jews. Swami Dayanand and his successors preached
*shudhikaran *(purification) militantly. Violence comes handy to such
philosophies. Reading history is like walking on the edge of a sharp sword.
There is no right and wrong, good and evil in history.

Current regimes in Middle East espouse Wahabism and Kharijite philosophies.
In its intent these philosophies are mere frameworks and in most cases
boring texts. Instead of creating new enemies, initiating a blame game and
collective condemnation of Wahabism, one needs to understand the strands of
geo-political economy, and ways war industry operates and makes use of
dormant ideologies and religious beliefs for its benefit. Continued here....
