Pretty sure I just spotted the wahabi. Not sure why wahabis are against the term wahabi. Wahabis follow Islam according to the teachings of Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab right?
If a Muslim prays 5 times a day, fasts in Ramadan, has a beard, wears a hijab. Practices Islam according to the Qur'an and the teachings of the Prophet, are they a Whabbi?
It has become a derogatory term to describe practicing Muslims and the "good" Muslims are the ones who are liberal in their views and follow western values. Otherwise they are so called "conservative", "Whabi, "hardliner".
Muslims do not know who this person is. He is a footnote in history and people do not learn/practice Islam from his books. They do it through the Qur'an and the authentic teachings and actions of the prophet which is the authoritative source on Islam.
This is my frustration. A boogeyman word to describe normal Muslims when they practice Islam as it was practiced by the prophet 1400 years ago.

This is not what makes someone a wahabi, you're strawmanning. These qualifications you mention are basically common denominators among all muslims. Again, what makes someone a wahabi is having beliefs as taught by Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab. For example, being against the maddhab system.
