They're both extreme forms of Islam but I was just curious what the difference was.

Since Islam is the Religion of Peace Wahabism must be Extreme Peace... so when they stone to death a woman accused of cheating it is done in the most Peaceful manner imaginable.Not sure. I've only heard of Wahabi and that it's a form of extreme Islam.

The eye through which you see God is the same eye through which He sees you.
-Jalal al-din Rumi-
So He doesn't exist... cool.
Really? I thought only fools could not see through the eye.

And, according to the quote, God says the same about you.
One beheads gay people and the other throws gay people off of ten story buildings...
Doesnt say much about a "God".

Took 12 posts to actually offer an explanation deserving of the name.All Wahhabists are Salafists, but not all Salafists are Wahhabists. 'Wahabbism' (a term most Muslims and Saudis would find derogatory in the same way Lutheranism was supposed to be derogatory) refers to those who adhere to the outlook of Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab and the specific Saudi brand of Salafism which has a heavy emphasis of revivalism and the unity between the state and the clerical establishment. Salafism ('the ancients') refers to an effort to hearken back to early Islamic practice and is the label for ultra-conservatives across the Islamic spectrum including political quietists, jihadists, activists, Islamic democrats, etc.
