Interestingly, until [[Osama bin Laden]] began using Wahabist-like rhetoric in pursuit of a renewed [[Islamic caliphate]], there was little or no association between this particularly Saudi religious strain and any pan-Arab or pan-Muslim movement. Sunni movements originating mostly in [[Egypt]] had traditionally been associated with [[militant Islamic groups]] and provide rhetorical cover. For this reason, also until recently, most Western analysts considered Wahabism highly unlikely to spread even to other Sunni nations.
