Textbook Islam

First of all, what you mean by "textbook islam" and from what textbook do you take it? If it is from a textbook the printing of which has been sponsored from Saudi money( and I think such stuff comprises a good deal of Islamic textbook market whether written by Muslims themselves or by US academicians) then obviously it cannot be different from Wahhabism - the official cult of Saudis.
