In fact, most of Ansar's precepts are unrecognizable to the average Muslim. Pilgrims from as far away as Turkey and Jordan had visited the graves of the Muslim leader Neqishbandi buried in Biyara 300 years ago. But the Ansar fighters considered such devotion to be apostasy, and paved over the graves with concrete under their new mosque.


This is Wahabbi influence. I have read that the Saudis have obliterated such pilgrimage sites even in Mecca, including the grave of the Prophet.
