It's quite obvious since both view Iran as their biggest threat. Iran has influence over Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and now Yemen. The Houthi militia was created by Iran to counter Israel's expansion and they're based in Lebanon.
Saudi Arabia including other nations in the gulf all have good relations with Israel. Them not recognizing Israel was an act to fool other Muslim countries into thinking they're on Palestine's side. These Wahhabis are frauds.
I think you meant Hezb’allah was created to counter Israel’s expansion, they’re the ones based in Lebanon. Houthis on the other hand are in Yemen fighting and seemingly winning against Saudi Arabia currently.
Other than that you’re correct, Wahhabis are a vile and deceptive group of people.

Saudi and Salafi don't mean the same thing. Being against Sufi bid'ah and wanting to follow Islam as it was originally understood do not necessarily mean being a partisan of the Saudi government. There are some Salafis who are super pro-Saudi but Salafism in itself doesn't necessarily imply any particular viewpoint on the Saudi government. What the Saudi government does has no bearing on whether mawlid is bid'ah or not.
we need to be self dependentThese Arabs are so two faced I don't want Somalia doing business with them
The term Salaf basically means the first three generations of Islam. The modern Salafi movement however, hijacked that term and have nothing to do with the Salaf. What they really should be called is Wahhabi’s who have no respect for classical or modern scholars or the four Imam’s (Hanifa, Malik, Shafi’i, Hanbal) and skip 1000 years of Islamic works just to focus in on Abdul Wahhab, a 18th century takfiri who was the ISIS leader of his time, also they promote Ibn Taymiyyah and keep his grave intact while destroying all other graves in the time of Muhammad. They waste their time trying to refute everyone and making takfir which is why the ‘Salafi’ title has been ruined.
They ironically say they’re against Bida’a but they’re the ones literally tampering and mistranslating books like Riyadh-us-Saliheen by An-Nawawi to fit their Wahhabi interpretations. They’re the ones trying to hide and bury Sunni hadith which show the practice of Tawassul which is common among not only Sufi’s but all Muslim’s throughout history.
They’re a dry and legalistic cult that have corrupted the image of Islam and that’s why you see a massive burnout among them and their steep decline
What's your view on Mawlid?
Not haram at all
I rest my case.
Celebrating birthdays is a Pagan ritual even Christians banned it until the 18th century.You had no case to begin with. All you did was attempt to romanticize the modern Salafi movement and got exposed.
Not a single wahhabi has been able to prove that mawlid is haram. Your best bet is calling it Bid’a but even Umar was okay with Bida’a

Don't forget Ibn Hajr al-Asqalani calling mawlid a Bid'ah Hasanah (Good innovation)

ok thenFalse. Even the Prophet commemorated his birth.
Oh wow it even gets worse. Now you're actually promoting bid'ah as such.
Salafism, as far as I'm aware is an ideology not a movement. I don't think there's some central headquarters that is giving the orders. If there's a movement, I am not a part of the movement. I believe in the methodology.
If you say you're a Salafi and you don't follow the salaf you are not really following the ideology. I believe in the ideology. I am not awaiting instructions from any central headquarters that I'm aware. I don't belong to any movement unless believing in the idea that we should follow Islam as it was originally understood constitutes a movement.
As for the pro-bid'ah argument, it's already been debunked
And even Sheikh Ibn Taymiyyah debunked it. But if MBS doesn't pray Fajr this morning- that means Sheikh Ibn Taymiyyah was wrong in his ideas? Such is the Sufi logic. But the dīn isn't based on People magazine type stories. It's based on Quran and Sunnah. The Sufis consistently act like gossip columnists and write us some gossip columns and then try to get us to base the dīn on their gossip columns- because their evidence is lacking! If they could actually refute Sheikh Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab, they would do so. They would actually refute his books. But they can't actually do it so they fill your ear with their People magazine gossip column stuff content. I am tired of this lack of seriousness.
My challenge is to Sufis is to really produce a refutation of Kitab At-Tawheed by Sheikh Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab. And it's basically certain they won't because they can't. So instead, probably we'll just get endless stories. It's like a hamburger without any actual meat. All you get is the buns and the pickles. No actual meat.
