That being said, there is a problem, which is that the Saudis have been funneling billions of their oil money into proslyetization of their radical sect, and indoctrinating youths in countries across the world for decades now. Many in the West have come to equate Islam with Wahabbism, and even retroactively conflated the entirety of Islam and its history with a sect that was virtually unknown on the world stage until after WWII.
Until the post-war period, Wahhabism was just a particularly odd sect hailing from the deep interior of Arabia, whom then happened to take Mecca/Medina from the Hashemites in the 1920s, and later were found to be living on top of massive deposits of oil. Now they have spent tens billions indoctrinating tens of millions of youths in desperately poor countries. This is the problem. Not Islam itself.
