		In Wahabism, based on the Sunni Islamic stream, there is the motto: An authoritarian leader is much better than having no leader at all.

	Procrastination: Wahabis/Salafis Again
		I expect that in the future, Wahabism will be seen as the beginning of an Islamic intellectual revival, ultimately leading to an Islam more compatible with modern life.
		I have some rudimentary knowledge of the Christian Reformation, but that is not the topic I am interested in here, so Iâll ignore Ikramâs comments about it except to note that there are some similarities with the current events in Islam and that he is simplifying the history of the Christian Reformation quite a bit.
		Though I am inclined to believe that Wahabism is the Islamic Reformation, it is not the only effort to modernize/plebeian-ize (with an ultra-conservative bent) Islam.
