yes, i think salafis(who themselves follow shariah) has opened the doors for "modernists" by rejecting taqleed of classical scholars and introducing self understandings in the name of "revival".

They're like protestants, who think that a layman can read the bible for himself and understand it. And because of that, just like protestants, salafis became a gateway to massive splintering into thousands of smaller groups.
