Part A
I agree with the author of the article on his stand, "Don't blame Wahhabism for
Terrorism." There are various claims the author has put across which I agree with. For example,
Wahhabism and Saudi Arabia are stereotyped and blamed for terrorism and Islamic
radicalization. However, according to the explanation of the author, Wahhabism is not
responsible for terrorism but rather the individual interpretation and choices of the persons to
participate in terrorism.
There are also claims that all Muslims are radicalized and that the affiliated Muslim states
are in constant civil wars with Europe. However, those who commit the crimes are petty
criminals who are only inclined to the Muslim religion to get a stand and purpose through using
Jihad for wrong reasons. Moreover, I agree with the author that Wahhabism should not be
blamed for terror...
