Victims of Wahabism

By Shia News

The list of the victims has been compiled with the cooperation of
Sipah e Sahaba - The Terrorist OrganisationPlease visit the site for more information


More than 70 doctors and 34 lawyers, various Ulema, scholars, teachers and students of seminaries, religious figures, politico-religious parties leaders and activists, officials of various government and private institutions have so far been assassinated during the last two years in Pakistan. Their only fault, they were Shias.

Sipah e Sahaba (Army of the Companions), best described as Sipah e Yazid (Laeen ibn e Laeen) is a Wahabi/Deobandi terrorist organisation which is being funded by Saudi Arabia and supported by the Wahabi ranks in Pakistan Army’s ISI. Lashkar e Jhangavi is the death squad of Sipah e Sahaba. Riaz Basra, chief of the Lashkar, is being sheltered by the Wahabi Taliban in Afghanistan.

With the financial backing from Saudi Arabia and ammunition, protection and training from the Pakistan government, Sipah e Sahaba and Lashkar e Jhangavi have been openly killing Shias in Pakistan for many years now. Hiding behind the name of Sahaba Ikram (RA), these Wahabi terrorists tried to portray themselves as Sunni Muslims. But alhamdolillah the Sunni Muslims of Pakistan openly denounced these Wahabis and their terrorist activities. When they were rejected by the Sunni Muslims, the Sipah e Sahaba started killing the Sunni Ulema and leaders as well. This clearly showed that the Sipah e Sahaba was purely a Wahabi/Deobandi militant organisation which only wants to eliminate anyone who hates Yazeed (Laeen ibn e Laeen). Their prime goal, like the Saudis is to kill, torture and oppress the followers of Ahlul Bayt (AS), whether Shias or Sunnis. Using the name of Sunni Muslims, these Wahabi butchers have killed scores of innocent Shia Muslims and have tried to create hatred among Sunni and Shia brethren.

Islam was preached by Awleya e Ikram (Sufi Saints) in the Indian sub-continent. The Awleya filled the hearts of the masses with love for Ahlul Bayt (AS). The Wahabis/Deobandis/Kharjiites who for centuries have openly been an enemy of the Ahlul Bayt (AS) and their followers, now decided to disguise themselves as Sunnis.

In Pakistan, the preachers in almost all mosques are appointed and paid by the government, which has very carefully placed Wahabi mullahs in Sunni mosques. Majority of the Sunni Muslims have, unknowingly, become a victim of this anti-Ahlul Bayt conspiracy by the Wahabis. Spreading false rumors against the Shia community is one of the most important weapon of the Wahabis. As these Wahabis portray themselves as Sunni scholars, the innocent Sunni masses have been believing every thing they tell them.

The Pakistani media has also played its role in creating hatred between Shias and Sunnis by using the word "Sunni" for the Wahabi Sipah e Sahab and Lashkar e Jhangavi and blaming the massacres of Shias on their Sunni brothers.

All praise for Allah, the Sunni brothers have now started to realise the situation and they have started confronting the Wahabis on every front. The Sunnis, as a punishment, have also become a target for these Wahabis. Maulana Saleem Ullah Qadri, head of the Sunni Tehrik in Pakistan was brutally murdered by the Sipah e Sahab in Karachi. The Maulana had become the flag bearer in recent years for the religious organisation representing the majority Barelvi Sunnis in Pakistan.

We hope that the Pakistan government now, as it has joined the internatinal community in the "War Against Terrorism", would also pay attention to the innocent victims of Wahabism in Pakistan. We also request the international community to pressurise the government of Pakistan to rid the law abiding and peaceful Shia and Sunni Muslims from the menace of Wahabism.

We pray that Allah swt blesses Sunni and Shia brothers with strong unity and may He protect everyone from the evils of Wahabis and their terrorism. Ameen.

I found this site when looking for information about the Hazaras in Afghanistan. I was shocked and amazed that the site had such fair and balanced reporting of the news. I also found it quite interesting as to who is really behind the terrorism. It seems that if the administration spokes-people would educate the public that it is the Wahabites that are not only behind terror but behind killing other muslim sects it would be beneficial to all.

You should be referring to Robert Kaplan's work. NPR uses him all the time as their expert. He is absolutely wrong in his political opinions, but he has a great historical knowledge of events. Read and listen to the two postings. They are worth the time.

Wahabi is Saudi Arabia's brand of Islamic fundamentalism. The Saudi Royal Family has been forced to kiss their butts to maintain order. As the Kingdom has gotten rich from oil, the influence of Wahbaism has grown both inside Saudi Arabia and internationally. The Saudis have participated in the building of mosques throughout the Arab world, and along with this building program comes the fanatical Wahabi influence.

Not to mention a significant majority in Saudi Arabia.

Another cult in the name of religion.

http://ebooks.whsmithonline.co.uk/encyclopedia/45/M0013745.htm Wahabi

Puritanical Saudi Islamic sect founded by Muhammad ibn-Abd-al-Wahab (1703-1792), which regards all other sects as heretical. By the early 20th century it had spread throughout the Arabian peninsula; it still remains the official ideology of the Saudi Arabian kingdom.

They are here among us, in America...

One moderate American Islamic leader, Sheik Muhammad Hisham Kabbani, told a State Department forum in 1999 that 80 percent of the nation's mosques are headed by clerics who espouse "extremist ideology"–which Kabbani associates with Wahhabism, an Islamic fundamentalist movement that began in Saudi Arabia in the 18th century.

So what is Wahabi?

A fundamentalist sect of islam, violent and regressive in nature. It's the sect controlling Saudi Arabia and OBL and the Taleban and 80% of the mosques in this country.

Wahabi is that green hot stuff that you dip your sushi in. We haven't been talking about it because not enough people around here enjoy raw fish.
