This war had formed the basic hatred of the Wahhabi movement amongst the Ottomans, and it continued to influence modern Turkey where-in many Turkish Islamic preachers consider Wahhabism to be un-Islamic. The Saudis, who would form the nation a century later, considered it as the first struggle for independence from the oppressive Ottoman Empire, and continued to view Turkey with suspicion. The current state of relationship between Saudi Arabia and Turkey is still influenced by this hostile past. To the present day, both Saudi and Turkish nationalist writers accuse each other of engaging in systematic campaigns to rewrite history.
