The rejection of Western democracy derives from the same rejection of secularism but was further sharpened by the Saudi Arabian establishment__ aversion to democracy__ subversive streak and the threat it posed to the Saudi monarchy if unleashed. Saudi scholars such as Sheikh Bakr Ibn Abu Zaid consistently attacked democracy and the freedoms it flaunted as anti-Islamic. Mohammed Yusuf was heavily influenced by the writings of Saudi-based scholars such as Bakr Ibn Abu Zaid, Sheikh Abdul Aziz Ibn Abd-Allah Ibn Baaz (1910-99), and Sheikh Muhammad al-Amin ash Shanqiti (1907-73). As mentioned before, all of Yusuf__ opponents side-stepped the issue of democracy being un-Islamic, thereby making the issue appear incontestable or settled.
