Would i be wrong in saying that all Islamic or 'Muslim Brotherhood'
ideologies and groups are to varying degrees influenced by Wahabbism?
Meaning, all those groups that claim to be seking or holding the truth
to a return to some original Islam, that tend to be conservative in
terms of social values, that tend to be hyper-critical of both Western
imperialism and national corruption and leadership, that place Islam
before ethnicity or nationality, etc.? Basically, aren't all Muslim
'fundamentalists' (or political Islamists, to use another term)
Wahabbist to some extent?
 .O.

yes, but it is definitely centralized in saudi, in mecca and medina. and
i know there is quite a following in dagestan and chechnya in the
northern caucasus as well as the united arab emirates, oman, and kuwait
 
but they refer to themselves as al-muwahhidun (the unitarians),
wahhabism is the term they are called
