Hi folks
It has been quite a few times that I hear people on infowars including Alex Jones mentioning that Al-Qaedah is a wahabi or salafist. I was quite surprised to hear that even people at info wars were unaware of what these words mean but then on the other hand I realize that it is extremely difficult to find accurate literature in English or any other western language on this topic that would clarify the nonsense that is injected in the public by orientalists on this topic.
I am muslim and I am what the western media and orientalists label as a wahabi or a salafist. We do not call ourselves wahabi we call ourselves salafi (no "ist"). We are simply trying to follow our religion in its original manner the way it was revealed and put into practice by the first generation and we do net get involved in any sort of religious ideologies that have come later on including politics. And we are THE ONLY GROUP THAT IS ACTIVELY FIGHTING TERRORISM by tackling the problem at its root and educating the youth about the reality of the religion and clarifying that terrorism, bombing etc it totaly prohibited in the religion of Islam. We do so by refuting the arguments of all sorts of groups and individuals that mainly pop up in the west. I have personally translated three tapes by Saudi and Yemeni "wahabi" scholars refuting false arguments about terrorism and bombings and killing christians in muslim lands. The number of tapes, books and folders published by "wahabi" scholars on this topic from saudi arabia and elsewhere is uncountable.
We are always labeled as extremist because we do plainly refuse to live a western lifestyle. Our women do cover up, and they understand the meaning behind it and are very happy to cover, men do have beards, we life a very strict discipline lifestyle not indulging in what the western mass media like to portray as freedom but is simply put just a hedonistic lifestyle of running after vain pleasure and turning away of deep and spiritual values.
That people don't want to live our lifestyle that is their own business but because western masses believe that we are "extreme" we have to be put into the bag with terrorism that is falsehood and harming us.
What is true though is that terrorist groups call themselves salafi in some cases if it is at their advantage (I don't like to call them al-qaedah because there is not such thing as this big al-qaedah network the way it is portrayed by western media). It is a very plain marketing strategy that is only put into practice if the group pops up in an area where calling themselves salafi will sell. As said, salafi means following the religion in its original form. So if you are in an area where people aspire to this idea then putting on the salafi cap will attract public although they have nothing from salafiya. These people don't argue with religion, their strategy is the same where ever you find them and wheter they call themselves salafi or not; US, UK, middle east, Asia etc...they pop up in crisis scenarios when people become fragile and hearts are filled with grief. This is where emotion take over and sound mind, leave alone religion is lost. They put another layer on top of it by showing horrible videos of muslims being slaughtered like the prictures of abou gharib prison or masacers in palestine etc. With this they target mainly youngsters that are in the 17 to 25 year age range because they are the most fragile weak minded and so they are easy and cheap gunpowder. This is how it works in a nutshell. If anybody needs clarification on this topic I will be happy to do my best to provide them to the best of my abilities.
Regards
