And while it__ nice of you to want to call us __odern_ or __oderate,_ we__l do without the redundancy. Islam is by definition moderate, so the more strictly we adhere to its fundamentals _ the more moderate we__l be. And Islam is by nature timeless and universal, so if we__e truly Islamic _ we__l always be modern.We__e not __rogressives_; we__e not __onservatives_. We__e not __eo-Salafi_; we__e not __slamists_. We__e not __raditionalists_; we__e not __ahabis_. We__e not __mmigrants_ and we__e not __ndigenous_. Thanks, but we__l do without your prefix.We__e just Muslim.

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.
