Islam preaches SOLA SCRIPTURA.

No it doesn't. In Sunni Islam they have Hadith, which is Tradition and considered authoritative. The Shiites regard the Imams as authoritative, and although the last one is "hidden", they do have a clerical hierarchy.

Reads like some Protestant views on the priesthood to me (link @ #135):

"In Islam there’s no church as an institution as such, there’s no clergy. Islam doesn’t accept the notion that a particular group of people can claim for themselves to be representatives of God on earth. The entire human race is regarded, in a sense, as representatives of God on earth."
