Winkling out the Wahhabists

http://www.islam-watch.org/Europe/Muslim_Understanding_Europe.pdf

This is a suggested document to weed out the Wahhabists lurking in the European undergrowth. Having read it, I would like it re-written by people who know more about Islam- there are many places where the author(s) should really have brought in mainstream Sunni or Shia clerics to find out what the moderate view really is, and where exactly Wahhabism strays from mainstream Islamic thought. But that is really peripheral. I think this is an excellent idea as it will for a benchmark and rallying point. If properly written, genuine mainstream law-abiding Moslems will have no problem signing up to it. Those who don't will have self-identified themselves with the Wahhabist doctrine, and can be much more easily excised.

Unsurprisingly, MPACUK, a supposedly 'mainstream' Moslem organisation but thoroughly Wahhabist in language and behaviour reject it out of hand:

'Of course, people like Mr Batten or Mr Solomon might want to differentiate between a mere disagreement of ideas and the so-called threat of violence and terrorism eminating from "fundamentalist" Islam. We reject indiscriminate violence and terrorism, but we cannot accept that they are a particular Muslim phenomenon. Rather they are the weapon of choice for the powerless.
objecting to political oppression and can therefore only be resolved by political means. Our government recognised this in the case of Irish terrorism which mainly abated once a political settlement of grievances was in sight. Our government's involvement in the illegal invasion of Iraq or unashamed partisan support for Israel in her quest to dominate the region through aggression against her Palestinian or Lebanese neighbours, on the other hand, is fuelling international terrorism.'

From the first instance I recall of the invocation of Irish Nationalist/Republican terrorism as a parallel to Wahhabist violence, I thought it was a terrible analogy. Simply compare the goals of the IRA with those of Al Muhajiroun: the IRA wanted the northern counties of Ireland to recombine with the southern counties in the Republic of Ireland- that's it. Al Muhajiroun want all the Moslem nations to become Wahhabist theocracies and infidel states to be forcefully converted or at least conquered by Wahhabist Moslems. The IRA saw that the EU would gradually bring about what the Armalite couldn't- the removal of British sovereignty in Ulster. So they stopped fighting. That was both limited and rational. The Wahhabist desire to remake the world to conform to its own harsh and pitiless creed is neither limited nor rational.

'Our government's involvement in the illegal invasion of Iraq or unashamed partisan support for Israel in her quest to dominate the region through aggression against her Palestinian or Lebanese neighbours, on the other hand, is fuelling international terrorism.' The footling invocation of these 'provocations' and iniquities ought to fool no one by now. Wahhabisms goal is not the correction of Britain's misguided foreign policy- these fripperies are used as bait to draw the support of lefty moonbats desperate for ideological bedfellows. Wahhabisms goal is as ambitious as a goal can be- worldwide victory and the annihilation of non-Wahhabist Islam. It has been for the last 600 years, and there's absolutely no evidence that that has changed since the Wahhabists took up residence in Bradford, Luton and Hayes.
