Read up on it.
I have not chosen way of Wahabi, read up on Islam. I have chosen to follow Qur'an and Sunnah of Prophet.
Not everybody who prays Salat, fasts and covers her head and wears modest clothes are Wahabi.
Just saying Sahada makes you believer in Islam. To become Muslim, Salat, fast, Zakat and Hujj becomes Fird.

For more than two centuries, Wahhabism has been Saudi Arabia's dominant faith. It is an austere form of Islam that insists on a literal interpretation of the Koran. Strict Wahhabis believe that all those who don't practice their form of Islam are heathens and enemies. Critics say that Wahhabism's rigidity has led it to misinterpret and distort Islam, pointing to extremists such as Osama bin Laden and the Taliban.

The religious curriculum in Saudi Arabia teaches you that people are basically two sides: Salafis [Wahhabis], who are the winners, the chosen ones, who will go to heaven, and the rest. The rest are Muslims and Christians and Jews and others.

They are either kafirs, who are deniers of God, or mushrak, putting gods next to God, or enervators, that's the lightest one. The enervators of religion who are they call the Sunni Muslims who ... for instance, celebrate Prophet Mohammed's birthday, and do some stuff that is not accepted by Salafis.

From Wikipedia

Wahhabism (Arabic: وهابية‎, Wahhābiya(h)) or Wahhabi mission (/wəˈhɑːbi, wɑː-/; Arabic: ألدعوة ألوهابية‎, ad-Da'wa al-Wahhābiya(h) ) is a religious movement or branch of Sunni Islam. It has been variously described as "orthodox", "ultraconservative",[7] "austere", "fundamentalist", "puritanical"[9] (or "puritan");[10] as an Islamic "reform movement" to restore "pure monotheistic worship" (tawhid), by scholars and advocates[11] and as an "extremist pseudo-Sunni movement" by opponents.[12] Adherents often object to the term Wahhabi or Wahhabism as derogatory, and prefer to be called Salafi or muwahhid.

Wahhabism is named after an eighteenth century preacher and scholar, Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab (1703–1792).[16] He started a revivalist movement in the remote, sparsely populated region of Najd,[17] advocating a purging of practices such as the popular "cult of saints", and shrine and tomb visitation, widespread among Muslims, but which he considered idolatry, impurities and innovations in Islam.[5][18] Eventually he formed a pact with a local leader Muhammad bin Saud offering political obedience and promising that protection and propagation of the Wahhabi movement would mean "power and glory" and rule of "lands and men."[19] The movement is centered on the principle of tawhid,[20] or the "uniqueness" and "unity" of God.[18]

Look Noor, there is only one sect in Islam that believes what you believe. Common, just face it, your brothers in faith are ISIS and Taliban. There is only one puritanical tariqa in Islam and you and your brothers follow it.

But this is my last posting on the issue because i am breaking a promise i made to myself of not ever engaging a wahhabi in intelligent conversation, since there is no such thing with a wahhabi. Ultimately i concur with the admin, your Islam is not my Islam. Id rather be kafir in your eyes than be a wahhabi in my own.
