The house of Saud, while far from being perfect, gave a voice to the followers of Mohammad Ibn Abd Al Wahhab and Sayyid Qutb, two of the most important shapers of modern Islamic identity, and as well as two of the most stalwart enemies of liberalism and the cultural homogenization driven by global capitalism.
Criticisms of "Wahbbism" are a cheap and tawdry way to disguise Islamophobia, because by proxy you insult the noble Salafs, and to do so is to insult the ummah:


You're also applying a western standard to a parallel path of modernization and human development- one that has managed to, in the course of a few generations, to nearly double the life expectancy of millions of nomads, while at the same time preserving tawheed, which is more precious than you can understand


is something someone could conceivably argue

Sorry but Wahbbism is poo poo tier Islam. Fuckers destroyed their own heritage sites.

I think that is because most people assumed that Russia was at least somewhat of a modern society while assuming that most people in Saudi Arabia were like Dilkington. There was a point in history where Russia was not as homophobic as it is today, and the current homophobia stretches far beyond simply the law that was passed in the Duma. Russia has taken a strikingly homophobic turn in the past few years whereas Saudi Arabia is the same as it has been for a while.

Yeah the revival of the Orthodox Church has a lot to do with that I feel.
