[Mrs. Don-o]

Keep in mind that the Puritans WERE the Reformation. And tody's jihadi's ARE the "Reformation" period of Islam. With other Reformations it shares these characteristics:

• anti-modern "back to the roots" in the sense of acting as if several thousand years of "development of doctriine" never happened or was totally contemptible
• "sola korana" Scripture-only focus
• "Sola fide" with zero recognition of the integrity of human reason per se
• belief in an all-efficient fate, which the Muslims call "kismet" and other historic reformers called "predestination"
• intolerance for art and images: tearing down of statues, shrines, paintings, smashing out stained glass, whitewashing of mosaics and murals: done by all reformation movements in history;
• intolerance for veneration of holy people, places or things, saints, angels, etc.
• intolerance for human culture per-se, if it is not specifically sanctioned, chapter and verse, in their holy books.

Radical Islam doesn't need a "Reformation". Radical Islam IS the Reformation.

I’d thought better of you, Mrs. Don-O.

Odd that your church reaches out so, to what you term the “Reformers” of Islam today, while the heirs of the Protestant Reformation reject them.

The cognitive dissonance must be deafening.
