I'm guessing it's like Christianity where there are leftist Christians who follow Jesus' more progressive messages such as giving to the less fortunate and healing the sick, and then there are the scary Christian evangelicals that want A Handmaids Tale and conversion therapy. Logically, Islam probably isn't a monolith in a similar way other religions aren't.

However, I have never heard about what those of the Islamic faith actually believe outside of the hysterical post 9/11 Islamophobia I've been indoctrinated with as a child.

I want to know what the truth is and hear the other sides story. To me it's obvious that Islamophobia is wrong, however when Islamophobes make wild claims about it, I can't really refute them confidently because I'm simply ignorant of the facts. Please educate my dumb, white ass.

      Not only that, wahhabiism was also directly spread by Saudi Arabia with assistance from the cia so it didn't grow organically either

      Also I remember reading that the founder of wahhabiism was actually a euro playing at being Laurence of Arabia but I don't know how accurate that part is

          Yeah, plus we're seeing them attempt to do that in real time with how isntrael has been targeting lead negotiators and more moderate leaders who are open to making deals
