Jamaat-e-Islami J&K. A #thread.
The Jamaat-i-Islami is, by far, one of the most influential #Islamic movements in the #world today, particularly strong in the countries of #SouthAsia. Its influence extends far beyond the confines of the #Indo-#Pakistan subcontinent.

Mass conversions to Sunnism amongst Arab #Ahwazis are a fact that even the hateful Iranian regime doesn't deny. Ayatullats and high ranking officials have many times expressed their concern about the spread of 'Wahhabism' in Khuzestan (Persianised name of #AlAhwaz).
The Neo #Safawi regime employs the #Wahhabism card to silence&demonise #Sunnis that are opposed to it, esp. Iranian Sunni dessidents & converts to #Sunnism inside #Iran. It's an old trick that they have learnt from Israel (that demonises its critics with antisemitism allegation).
The problem: Although one can find a number of articles about Arab Ahwazi #ExShias on the net in the English language (in Arabic there is tons of stuff), most of it is scattered. Under this thread I will gather everything I have translated myself from Arabic/Persian to English.
Assuming that the lurid and gothic reports about the likely death of the Saudi dissident #JamalKhashoggi in the kingdom's consulate in Istanbul are correct, this would be standard operating procedure for the Saudis in such situations.
#JamalKhashoggi was on a barely concealed mission to dethrone Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, the heir to the Saudi throne.
Had Khashoggi succeeded, the de-Wahabbization drive led by Mohammed would have collapsed.

#JamalKhashoggi was engaged in a coup attempt against #CrownPrince Mohammed, an effort covertly funded by a few members of the Al Saud family, who seek thereby to ensure that #Wahhabism remains all-powerful in their very consequential country.
#Burkas are like wearing a crusifix&should b defended,said Scots leader liberal+lesbian,irresponsibly ignoring that a crusifix is a symbol of #Christianity,which holds t western civilisation,while #nijab is a symbol of oppression enforced recently in #Islam by the #Saudi #Wahhabi
#Liberals accusing #Iranian govt of"oppressing women" who must wear a lose scarf,but do not protest against the #Saudi #Wahhabi reactionary dogma,while it's creeping as political #Islam to combat western #civilisation at the end.If it's sounds like fiction,think Saudi investments
Serious problem wth "western civilisation"mental health.Giving up easily to full veil wearing wthout asking what the cover symbolises,wthout questioning why it came from archaic #Saudi #Wahhabi #Sharia #Regime by force,is👉rejection of progressive western values.Period
In a 75-minute interview with @washingtonpost, Prince Salman admits that #wahhabism was spread at the insistence of the West during the #ColdWar to keep #Soviet|s from gaining in roads in #Muslim countries.

This is the first time a member of the #Saudi royal family has openly admitted that spreading their extremely conservative interpretation of #Islam around the globe was Western backed.

Many in the #Muslim world blame the #Saudis for using their interpretation to increase radicalization and division in their own countries.
