I would also like to add that during the 19th century and early 20th century Islam experienced a 'renaissance' of progressive, new interpretations of Sharia and Islam in general. Progress and Pan-Islamism were all the talk before the rise of the Saudis and there Wahabism and all the Pan-Arabism replaced Pan-Islamism.
You just need to take a look at such scholars as Mohammed Iqbal, Malik bin Nabi, Jamal ad-Din al-Afghani, Abd al-Rahman al-Kawakibi, Syed Ahmad Khan and others.
