Although that is true, there has been a huge change in Islam globally since the Saudi oil boom (second half of the 20th century), and the systematic export of their overly-rigid and hate-filled Wahhabi interpretation.
The Saudis fund the majority of Sunni Islamic schools (madrassas), print the majority of textbooks, and train the majority of Imams around the world, through organizations they own outright or control through funding. In places which don’t already have their own longstanding Islamic traditions and institutions (like the US and most of Europe), Saudi influence through funding or direct control is like 90%.
They have changed the face of Islam globally, pushing more peaceful local interpretations toward extinction.
For long periods of time in history, and over large areas, Islam existed with others, with a relative minimum of friction. Lots of variation existed, with lots of local flavor and custom incorporated. That is changing quickly.
Although the Egyptian Islamic Brotherhood (al Ikhwan), trained by the Nazis, has been the vanguard for the military and subversive political components of the rise of jihadism, they could not have achieved their success without the direct funding, and the huge indoctrination and recruiting infrastructure provided by the Saudis.
I notice that the Imam in the story is referred to as al Masri, which means, the Egyptian. Perhaps he reflects the changing winds in Egypt, under the leadership of President al Sisi.
Historically, Islamic political leaders have strongly set the tone for the interpretation of the religion, because Islam is exceptionally wedded to dictatorial viewpoints and constructs.
Egypt and Saudi Arabia are the key objectives in defeating Sunni Jihadism. Saudi Arabia is the doctrinal and funding Nexus, Egypt is the biggest Sunni country, and the main base of the Muslim Brotherhood (even though it has metastisized widely).
Shia Iran is whole different story. It is more of a conventional military challenge, rather than a domestic subversive threat.
