In the Persian Gulf states, the majority of the Salafis reside in Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia.[14] 46.87 per cent of Qataris[14] and 44.8 per cent of Emiratis are Salafis.[14] Salafis are the "dominant minority" in Saudi Arabia.[15] The 4 million Saudi Salafis make up 22.9 per cent of the population. They are concentrated in Najd.[14] By contrast, Bahrain has 5.7 per cent Salafis, and Kuwait has a population that is 2.17 per cent Salafis.[14] The Salafi literalist or fundamentalist creed has also gained some acceptance in Turkey.[16]
The Salafi movement, also called Salafist movement, Salafiya, and Salafism, is a reform[1] branch[2][3] or revivalist[4] movement within Sunni Islam[5] that developed in Egypt in the late 19th century as a response to Western European imperialism.[4][6][7][8][9] It had roots in the 18th-century Wahhabi movement that originated in the Najd region of modern-day Saudi Arabia.[10] It advocated a return to the traditions of the salaf, the first three generations of Muslims, which they preached as the unadulterated, pure form of Islam. Those generations included the Islamic prophet Muhammad and his companions (the Sahabah), their successors (the Tabiβun), and the successors of the successors (the Taba Tabiβin).
That's all u need to know, if your smart man you will see why, if you are not, u will need an explanation. In science you need to 'move forward' with new idealogy, they reject this 'salafism' arguing you must 'go backwards to 7th century and follow the first muslims'. They are now stuck studying ancient 'sciences' and idealogies, while the cilmaani chose to move 'forward' and adopt 'modern science'. This is now a 'decided' outcome, you can't rewind the clock in the world, it's scientific fallacy. That's why I know @Cognitivedissonance is going to fail, there has been no society in the world that has ever created a system to 'revert back to history'.
Not a single one, that's why if Somalis revert back to 'centralism' we know it will fail, why? it's refusing to catch up with the times now in Somalia and using new solution like 'federalism' or even 'secession' which are at least 'new ideas' and moving 'forward'. This why Hamar is backwards also, all their institutions like simad, al ictisam, all thees groups are those 'salafist' using a failed mode. It's paramount Puntland update immediately or you will be following that model into 'chaos and destruction and eventual displacement' like aborigine.
