Since the '70s Saudi money has flowed to Muslim groups espousing Wahabist principles across the Middle-East and North Africa. They have had great influence in Egypt, Iraq, and Pakistan, for example.

In combination with other forces (In Egypt, Mubarak) it has done much to roll back the Cosmopolitan Islam of the post-war years. That is one of the main reasons why so many Muslim countries have become more conservative over the last 40 years.

No no I did not want to deny that in any way. I merely referred to the "founding" aspect and expressed my view that the roots of wahabism don't primarily lie in a refusal of European colonialism. Just talking about the founding, not about the current situation.
