True, reform can happen in any venue and it is presently happening within Islam.
The Wahhabi influence that controls the Saudi's (and the holiest sites within Sunni Islam) and Al Azar etc. etc. is a recent reformation of only a hundred years or so.
Sadly, this is a very strict and radical interpretation that is the foundation of most radical Islamic groups.
