The W'habbis are SUNNIS* (a branch of conservative Sunnism spawned and fed in Saudi Arabia).* Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab was the last of the greater teachers. Some people mistakenly to the teachers as prophets, the term is unacceptable. He was a strict fundamentalist and taught that all but the word of Muhammad was false. He taught that all other teachers were false and only the strict words of Muhammad were to be followed. Although conservative, the Sunnis are not at all like the the Wahhabi as the Wahhabi considers all other sects to be false. Wahhab disregarded everything added to Islam after the 3rd century AD. One of the greater failings of Wahhabi is that in is always reinterpretted by the next guy. ;^) The erase what the last has taught. It is a reform movement that often goes astray. Calling a Wahhabi a Sunni is about as similar to calling Barbara Streisand an Orthodox Jew.
