that there is a NYT article today that is trying to present a "balanced view" from US academia perches to tone down the Sufi's 80% of American Imams are Wahhabi

Good find. I've been looking for further information ever since I saw the 80% figure. I find even more disconcerting the NYT and Post articles that interviewed students at Islamic private schools in the US. The NYT article is no longer available for free. Below is the link to the Post article if you haven't seen it.

GT - The Wahabi sect is fundamentalist but that doesn't mean they are all terrorists or terrorist supporters. Just as most fundamentalist Christians don't bomb abortion clinincs. On another thread someone tried to compare Falwell to Osama bin Laden. I think the two are very different. Perhaps you could make a better comparison between Falwell and Wahabis.
