My 7 yr old is 5 ' 2 and 120 lbs . That ' s not that big . <| sep |> The salafi movement for all intense and purposes started woth Ibn Wahab . All of them . No , it was popularied by Ibn Tayymiyah . And there were people before him who advocated some of the same stuff he did all the way back to the Prophet . There were other movements at the same time in India and Nigeria btwAnd what has SA done that is bad that the other gulf countries haven ' t done ? Plenty , also what other gulf countries ? If you mean Oman or Yemen then no Saudi has been much worse than them . Beside why don ' t you compare to all the other Muslim countries , why only the gulf countries when there is only a handful of them ? Hudud ? Like that isn ' t in other Muslim countries . How many other ? And is it carried out on anywhere near the same scale ? Also whats wrong with hudud ? Conquest of Arabia , well he sided with Muhammad bin Saud and did just that . The reasons they stopped expanding were purely political , not ideological so Ibn Wahhab would have wanted all Muslims to obey his ideology . Also pretty sure they revolted against the Ottomans , later the KSA helped the Ottomans fall . Issue is you put the blame of stuff from THIS century and the LAST century on a man 3 CENTURIES ago . His ideology is clearly used and cited by many extremist groups today . I don ' t think he would have too much of any issue with what ISIS is doing . Edit I think some of what they are doing wouldn ' t agree with his ideology , but no doubt other things they are doing he would agree with .
