This article argues that the pragmatism displayed by Salafi politicians after the 2011 Arab uprisings might not apply to the larger networks of the movement. Such pragmatism contributed to organizational dysfunction in Kuwait's largest Salafi group, al-Jama'a al-Salafiyya. The ideological foundations of the group stood at odds with its extensive institutional structures, impeding it from functioning effectively. To explain this, the article draws on a comparison with the Muslim Brotherhood in Kuwait, whose ideology and disciplinary practices facilitated the establishment of tight-knit, highly efficient organizations.

科威特al-Jama'a al-Salafiyya的发展与分裂：对实用主义的纯洁

本文认为，萨拉菲政客在2011年阿拉伯起义后表现出的实用主义可能不适用于更大范围的运动网络。这种实用主义加剧了科威特最大的萨拉菲组织al-Jama'a al-Salafiyya的组织功能障碍。该组织的意识形态基础与其广泛的体制结构背道而驰，阻碍了其有效运作。为了解释这一点，本文将其与科威特的穆斯林兄弟会进行了比较，后者的意识形态和学科实践促进了紧密组织，高效组织的建立。
