This would indicate that Saudi Arabia has failed to convince its own prominent scholars and Salafists that IS ideology is a dangerous departure from Islam.

To me it is not a departure from Islam , it is fundamental interpretation of Islam, following the Koran and the examples set by Muhammad, and his immediate successors.

It is a back to basics movement like Wahabbism. -Tom

"{ISIS} is a back to basics movement like Wahabbism."

Exactly.

Some people say Islam needs a "Reformation."

Trouble is, ISIS *is* the Reformation. Back to basics. Sola Korana.
