If I disagree with shaykh on how he interprets the Quran and Sunnah.. hence I would not like to be identified with him. Sure, I will not follow the oft used technique used by certain Shaykh's of resorting to spewing out accusations of Bidah, Kufr and so on.. nor will I consider myself a non-Muslim if I see him in the same mosque or our clothes touch( thank a certain gentleman who claimed to be a scholar for showing me that such idiocy exists)..
What I will do is disagree that they are teaching the EXACT same ideas that I adhere to in terms of Fiqh.
There are certain sites who have taken that view(available through many sources such as Detailed and fair-minded critique of the Wahhabi phenomenon, Abdar Rahman Koya, Crescent Magazine)... and they have their rebuttals(some from Saudi sources, other's from Western settled Muslims..and so on).. It simply depends on whose views you find more convincing.
I find those contradicting those of ibn-abd-wahab more convincing.
1. I could disagree with how you interpret calling the dead on.. for that it requires a long debate.
2. Which is why I myself am not fond of the term, as the father of Ibn-Abd-al-Wahab was a respected scholar and so my dislike for the path his son chose is not meant for the family.
I have gone through that article but couldn't find any paragraph quotations from his books. It would be better from like minded individuals to find out the truth ourselves rather to allow individuals from "Google" to find out the truth for us. His Books are out in public free to read.

When you are a free thinker intellectually able to capture facts from fiction than you can better disseminate what is the truth from the garbage. I also believed the way you did until I actually picked up his books and started to read them. Now I only read books of Islam that relates back to him. The reason being Seeps only follow the Shepherd. They lead them blindly for their wool or for thier meat. So it's better not to be a Sheep and allow his books to speak for themselves.
