Re: "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."

Still, the sect (practically *sponsored* by certain of the authorities in Saudi Arabia) is an outgrowth of the Sunni branch of Islam --- they are MOST DEFINITELY *NOT* SHI'A!

Re: "Calling a Wahhabi a Sunni is about as similar to calling Barbara Streisand an Orthodox Jew."

Interesting analogy... I don't know much about her, is she considered to be especially MORE RADICAL AND FUNDAMENTALIST then the average Orthodox Jew?
