I don't intend to push anyone out of "the circle of Islam". Thats not for me to judge at all. I also don't tend to insult you at all, i'm sorry if it sounded that way. I just want people to know that i(along with a big percentage of muslims) do not agree with many of Saudi Arabia's practices that are a direct result of Ibn Abdel Wahab's teachings.
Muhammad Ibn Abdel Wahab(for ppl who don't know, wahhabism is traced to him), intended to bring reform to Islam, and as a direct result of his teachings, you find practices in Saudi Arabia like "The committee for promotion of virtue and prevention of sin". Where in the Koran does it say, that we should have committees that control how people behave? Whats the point of judgment day and the afterlife, if we have a committee forcing people to behave in certain ways. If someone doesn't pray, you don't force him to pray, if a woman doesn't wear a niqab, you don't force her to wear one.
