And this means what to the woman's march?
You and I both know it is an attempt to de-legitimize the march. It's a yuuuge stretch, but it's all they got.

I know what Hadiths are. They were written by more conservative branches of Muslims hundreds of years AFTER Muhammad's death. Research the Quran, the only TRUE and unchanging source of Islam.

You may want to keep in mind that today's Muslims exist thousands of years AFTER Muhammad's death.

I guess my point went right over your head.
The Hadiths aren't directly from Muhammad. They are not the definitive Islam like the Quran is. They've even been known to be revised from time to time. Not so for the Quran.

Claiming the whole religion is bad - nope.
Did I do that?

Nice try. The original Islam was hijacked by Saudi Arabia to match up with their own cultural monstrosities - because they didn't want to change them.
Wahhabism is named after an eighteenth-century preacher and activist, Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab (1703–1792).[24] He started a reform movement in the remote, sparsely populated region of Najd,[25] advocating a purging of practices such as tawassul, and shrine and tomb visitation, widespread among Muslims, but which he considered idolatry (shirk), impurities and innovations in Islam (Bid'ah).[9][22] Eventually he formed a pact with a local leader Muhammad bin Saud offering political obedience and promising that protection and propagation of the Wahhabi movement mean "power and glory" and rule of "lands and men."[26]
The alliance between followers of ibn Abd al-Wahhab and Muhammad bin Saud's successors (the House of Saud) proved to be a durable one. The House of Saud continued to maintain its politico-religious alliance with the Wahhabi sect through the waxing and waning of its own political fortunes over the next 150 years, through to its eventual proclamation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932, and then afterwards, on into modern times.
However, Wahhabism has also been called "a particular orientation within Salafism",[36] or an ultra-conservative, Saudi brand of Salafism
The majority of mainstream Sunni and Shia Muslims worldwide strongly disagree with the interpretation of Wahhabism and consider it a "vile sect".
