He wanted to change it into a western-style society. It might have been feasible - in the Fifties and Sixties there was a much more 'moderate' style of Islam with a mostly limited influence on public life, modes of dress etc. Only, the extent and speed of his modernizations antagonized especially the working class and the clergy.
