Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Wahabism At The Crossroads Section 1: Causes of Extinction Is Wahhabism nearing its end? Ten years before the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the author of the book "The end of Marxism's life" , wrote: "In my opinion, we must accept this fact, which may be unpleasant and bitter for some, and astonishing for others, that Marxism – and its product Communism - is approaching its demise and is now on the decline.

More explicitly, I should say Marxism - according to a freethinking explorer - is a doctrine belonging to the past that must eventually be placed in the archives of history. Marxism has utilised all its skills and failed in fulfilling its commitments towards human society. Logically and philosophically Marxism is not a live doctrine any more and the dreams that Marx, Angles and Lenin saw were misinterpreted or turned out to be false; with its idealism devastated.

Marxism is heading towards isolation and fragmentation with different brands being implemented in different countries all over the world.

The Marxism of Mao [^1] does not resemble the Marxism of Brezhnev, [^2] and the Communism of Tito [^3] is different from the Communism of Enver Hoxha, [^4] and both these are different from Fidel Castro's version, and the three are unrelated to…"[^5] Indeed, as predicted, the Marxist Soviet Union, with all the huge claims that the Capitalist State would soon diminish and Marxism would conquer the entire world, suddenly disintegrated and joined the archives of history!

Such a prediction was neither precognition nor divination, but a consequence of Marxism itself. Today, all evidence and proof suggest that the life-line of the extreme form of Wahhabism has come to an end and it is rapidly losing its advocates and supporters. Today, signs of this demolition have become visible, because there are some fundamental principles of hard-line Wahhabism which cannot survive in the ‘global village’ of the 21st century.

These fundamentals are as follows: Extreme ruthlessness Beliefs forced on others Intense fanaticism Obduracy in acceptance of any new phenomenon Irrational and incorrect understanding of six Quranic terms Extreme Ruthlessness The ruthlessness of extremist Wahhabis is not something hidden from anybody. The massacre of Muslims – not the disbelievers - by Wahhabis throughout their life is extremely horrendous.
