\u00a0<\/h4>\n

In a debate about dealing with radicalism, Democratic Congressman\u00a0Hank Johnson\u00a0spoke on the need to address the internal political factors that contribute to Islamic extremism.<\/h4>\n

He said that the global Jihadi movement is closely related to the teachings of Wahhabism and that al-Qaeda and ISIS are the offshoots of Wahhabism.<\/h4>\n

He went on saying that Wahhabism is an 18th\u00a0century offshoot of Sunni Islam which began in the land that has come to be known as Saudi Arabia.<\/h4>\n

Congressman\u00a0Johnson\u00a0pointed out that Wahhabism is the state-sponsored religion of Saudi Arabia and the Saudi ruling monarchy promotes Wahhabism through official state-sponsored mosques and through religious schools called madrasas all over the world, adding that it funds such schools or madrasas by the country’s revenues of gas and oil.<\/h4>\n

He concluded that Wahhabism ideology lines up with the ideology of the so-called Islamic State at the beginning and the terrorist group has taken it to further steps later.<\/h4>\n

Michael Morell, Former Deputy and Acting CIA Director, said that there should be a discussion with the Saudi government about their support for Wahhabism and how it should be treated.<\/h4>\n

Congressman Hank Johnson represents Georgia’s Fourth Congressional District – DeKalb, Gwinnett, Rockdale and Newton counties.<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
