This answer is correct.

Wahhabism is an austere form of Sunni Islam that insists on a literal interpretation of the Islamic scripture ( the Quoran ). It was founded by Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahrab. It is often described as ultraconservative and fundamentalist.

Wahhabism is the official, state sponsored form of Sunny Islam in Saudi Arabia. Strict Wahhabis believe that all those who don't practise their form of religion are heathens and enemies.

Wahhabism states that Islam is a complete way of life and so it should be applied in all aspects of life : the governmental ( following Islamic teaching, creating of Islamic schools, suppressing any kind of religious opposition), social ( norms and rules of behavior that are to be obeyed ), political ( spreading the doctrine to the whole world and killing its opponents ).
