Wahabbi
Wahhabi, a derogatory catch-all phrase for Muslims of a traditionalist-reformist persuasion (as opposed to modernist-reformists), many of whom follow the minhaj as-salaf, or method of the pious generation. Wahhabi is generally interchangeable with the far less negative term, salafi.The common tenets or beliefs of Muslims labelled as Wahhabi are a reformist tendency, critical attitude to syncretism in all forms, emphasis on strict observance of Shariah, and a willingness to take up jihad.
Many radical or extremist groups today in the Muslim world can be called Wahhabi, though some are unfairly labelled as such.
The term Wahhabi in its modern usage originated in the name of the Arabian religious reformer, Abdal Wahhab, one of two co-founders of the modern Saudi Kingdom.
The more correct term for such Muslims is Salafi.
