However, Western scholar [[Natana J. DeLong-Bas]] defended the position of Muhammad ibn ʿAbd al-Wahhab, stating that:
<blockquote>despite his at times vehement denunciations of other religious groups for their supposedly heretical beliefs, Ibn Abd al Wahhab never called for their destruction or death ... he assumed that these people would be punished in the Afterlife ..."{{sfn|Delong-Bas|2004|page=61}}
