"The story of modern puritanical Islam begins with the Saudi movement known as Wahhabism. It is impossible to quantify the exact amount of influence that Wahhabism has had on modern Muslim thinking. However, it is notable that Islamist groups--such as the Taliban and al-Qaeda--that have achieved a degree of international infamy have been heavily influenced by Wahhabi thought."
