Sunni and Shia are your regular folks that you see in Canada that just want to live a decent life and practice their religion however they please.
The Wahabis come from Saudi Arabia so they have boat loads of money and can push their agenda throughout the middle east. The regular Sunni and Shia come from poorer countries that need the Wahabi money. Theirein lies the problem.

I know of some obscure ass village in central Bosnia that practice Wahabism. I don't think they are much of a threat since they are so obscure and likely uneducated/dumb people there, but you are right about how they get financed. Most of my extended family lives in Bosnia & Hercegovina, and they mix and mingle with both Serbs and Muslims. For their part, they are past the conflict of WWII and the 90s. Their Muslim friends however, say how the Saudi's pump money into places and groups in Bosnia that will act more conservatively, even to the point of Wahabism. My own parents said say the same thing how times have changed a lot over the past 20 years.
