Modern Islamic movements as diverse as Islamic modernism, Madkhalism, and Salafi-Jihadism, insofar as they all consider themselves to be liberated from the norms of traditional Islam, can all be described as the products or at least partial-products of Salafism. Salafism, understood as a general tendency to favor direct citations of scripture over legal manuals, has also had an impact on the modern practice of Islam well beyond movements which openly self-identify or are identified as Salafi. This "external" impact of Salafism beyond its own borders is most clearly seen among Muslim diasporas whose practice of Islam is not regulated by a state and thus open to the influence of freely-distributed publications funded by governments such as Saudi Arabia's - in this capacity, Salafism has also become a prominent political tool.</div></td></tr> <tr><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br/></td><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br/></td></tr> <tr><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="−"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #ffe49c; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>The movement has its roots in the 18th century Wahhabi movement led by Muhammad b.
