Hmm, Many muslims actually believe in leaders.
You have the sunna muslims, for example.
They believe in anything the ancient scholars said. Some of them believe that "men & elves" can marry each other, but 2 witnesses are required from both races ???? I mean WTH ?
A famous muslim scholar called (Ibn Taimeia) said that, sunni muslims now swallow the embarrassment of this statement & believe it. Because simply, Ibn Taimeia is one of the "Shaiks" >>not shakes like in milk shake.
So they cannot disobey him.
Shia muslims also have a central leader called "al - qaiem", and many "mini leaders" called "ayato-allah".
Suffi muslims have the "walee", which is more like the christian "saint", that comes up with supernatural powers & connect directly with the prophet ; sometimes with god.
Now, from my opinion, what ruined islam up is those ideas.
But I totally disagree with you, Mcrubbish. Muslims now do have holly leaders, that's what controls them (i.e, buy the "milk shakes", you control the people..america did that in the soviet-afghan war).
