Different dynamic. Islam is not really a hierarchic "catholic" church. It is already divided into sects as is Christianity.
They probably ARE in need of someone who wishes to reform them a bit, I cannot disagree with that part of your statement at all.
Would they hold a "Congress of the faith" and create a negotiated "Caliph of the faithful" then we might see a reformer chosen to bring their traditions together in the spirit of a people of "service."
Currently, those offering themselves up as Caliph seem to be of a more of the Arnaud Amalric style of spreading the faith. Not at all a good thing.
