Summary/Abstract: The term Wahhabism is a term used by the followers of the Islamic religious movement founded by Arabian philosopher Muhammad bin Abudl Wahab (1703-1792). The members are called mujahideen, or Unitarians. Their teaching is based on the doctrine that God is one and only. Themselves never called Wahhabi and consider the name-calling, or contrary to the Koran. Wahhabis insist on a literal interpretation of the Koran and strict adherence to the theory of predestination. Wahhabism as Islamic religious sect - the fundamentalist Sunni branch of Islam, among Bosnian Muslims began to spread over in 1993. and in 1994. year. Since the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina is occasionally depicted as signs of the dangers inherent in Wahhabism.
