Wahabi is a term again that is thrown around all over the place, but mostly by grave worshipers and extreme Sufis against people who don't follow their misguidance.
In fact Mohammed bin Abdul Wahab was a reformer in the 18Th century in Arabia, and the knock name Wahabi was given to them. Because his movement was very purist and resisted everything that was not in the Book and Sunnah, he came up against a lot of opposition from those practitioners of matters that were not from it.
It was this movement that inspired the first struggle of the Indians against British rule in India (called by the British the Indian Mutiny).
