Qatar to spread Wahhabiyyah: brace yourselves

"HH the Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani before noon today inaugurated the "Imam Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhab" Mosque in Doha. HH the Heir Apparent Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and HH the Emir''s Special Advisor, HH Sheikh Abdullah bin Khalifa Al Thani attended the inauguration. The inauguration was also attended by HE the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jabor Al Thani, HE Mohammed bin Mubarak al Khulaifi, Speaker of the Advisory (Shura) Council, a number of Their Excellencies Sheikhs, ministers, dignitaries, a number of Their Excellencies the heads of diplomatic missions accredited to Qatar and guests. In a speech on the occasion, HH the Emir expressed his belief that this mosque, which stems from the land of Qatar, will serve as a platform for reform and worshipping God Almighty in spirit and in truth away from fads and fancies . We named the mosque after the great reformer and a renowned reviver Imam Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhab in honor of the Muslim scholars, who still carry his thought and call for revival to serve Islam and Muslims, said HH the Emir. His walk all through life in the path of light spread throughout the Arabian Peninsula, guides people to the right path according to the Holy Quran and Sunnah, removes confusion from the minds and deviations that confounded souls, said HH the Emir. HH the Emir reaffirmed commitment to spare no efforts to carry the message and spread the teachings of Islam in the whole world, noting that the Muslim nation is now in need of renewal and inspiration of the experience of Wahhabi''s da''wah (call) while keeping pace with the era and its developments."  This is funny.  The Emir wants the mosque to serve as a platform for reform so he named it after an obscurantist kook?
