Best Answer

They hate Saudi family [Ibn Saud and his progeny] not Saudi Arabia, per se.

Shiites hate Wahhabism (the movement of Sunni Islam that has official promotion in Saudi Arabia), not Arab people, because Wahhabism claims that Shiites are deviants from Islam and are a corrupted Jewish sect. This is untrue, since Shiites follow Islam from the time of Prophet Muhammad through his family (the sons and grandsons of his only daughter, Fatimah). Additionally, the Saudi government supports the persecution of Saudi Shiites and the destruction of their mosques.

What is the meaning of Wahhabism in Sunni Islam and how has it influenced Sunni Islam since the beginning of the 19th century?

Wahhabism is an extreme way of Sunni Islam. It is mostly practiced in Saudi Arabia. Honestly, Wahhabism started in Saudi Arabia and was used by the pro-American government of Saudi Arabia for political interests. Fath El Islam is a Wahhabi terrorist organization that was financialy and militarely aided by America and Saudi Arabia which attacked the Northern city of Lebanon, Tripoli, and ended in a political compromise between Syria and Saudi Arabia, and to a certain extent, the Lebanese army. Usually, Wahhabists are the ones who hate every one that is not Wahhabist. They hate Sunnis who are not Wahhabists, who don't have big beards and who don't hate Shias, they also hate Shias, they hate Christians, they hate Jews. I don't know what they do not hate. But other Sunnis are totally different. They are the tiny little part of the Sunna who are crazy. I am a Sunni and I am saying that.
