The study of human behavior, in all its myriad forms of illogic, cannot reliably be labelled a science. Closer to an art, ie., open to interpretation.

If you believe that people should be responsible for themselves and the type of energy they project into the world, you gave an answer (out of many possible) to your own question: because they are mad, and I would agree with you.

In the case of Wahhabism the issues run much deeper....
So. Why do these issues never get discussed?

You portray it as if the issues are secret taboos that are never brought up. The issues are well known to everyone and are being discussed at every level possible, from this board to the highest levels of government worldwide. Putin's response today would be one example of a high-level stance on the problem.
I wouldn't in any way go so far as to say that what just happened in chechnya was decent or right, but as each incident unfolds, the world is getting an ever clearer picture of the nature of this scourge.
Wahhabism is a sell-out to its own people. It marks black the majority, average, moderate, everyday, hard-working, child-raising, decent, peaceful, and productive adherents of the muslim faith. For this reason, like all radical philosophies, it will prove popular to an unruly minority and be the cause of much suffering in the future.
