In a July 13 interview with the Dubai-based Saudi TV network Al-Arabiya TV, Saudi author Turki Al-Hamad said that "most of our sheikhs and preachers" are incapable of producing a moderate discourse because they draw upon the same ideological sources as ISIS. He further stated that Islam needs its own Luther and Calvin to reform it.

Or Oppenheimer and Teller.
What islam really needs is the fate that the thugs of India met.
The only people who think that are people who don’t know the bloody attacks unleashed by Lutherans on the Catholics. Calvin was infinitely worse, in fact, and attacked other Protestants, publically putting them to death in his Geneva dictatorship.
I always thought women would lead the reformation.
Islam needs Jesus.
I’m thinking General LeMay and a fleet of B-2’s and B-1’s.
If we could get to their nerve centers.
Ask the Cathars in the Languedoc how terrible the Protestants were. Oh, that’s right, that isn’t who killed them.
At least Calvin’s brand of replacement theology was not used by Hitler like Luther’s. I think Islam already believes they have replaced Israel, by Ishmael’s first born rights.
No. Islam does not need a Calvin or Luther. Islam, all moslems, need Jesus Christ. Like the rest of humanity, they need to repent of their sins, accept the work and forgiveness of Christ, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
This is great. I mentioned that Islam is undergoing a bloody reformation very similar to the Protestant reformation. I thought about it awhile ago. It’s nice to see others seeing the same thing.
I don’t know your background but do you think there is a similarity between our current government and the point in roman history when they changed from a republic to an empire? I think FDR was our Casear and from then on it’s been a slide into the utopian bureaucratic fake representative government.
Yes! Thank you!
The BASE of Islam is corrupt and degraded, I don’t care what you pile on top of it.
Islam doesn’t need a Luther.
They already despise Jews.
You can’t reform Islam since everything about it is based on the ends-justifies-the-means m.o. Jihad is the core tenant and if you remove it you don’t have Islam anymore.
“I always thought women would lead the reformation.”
Not when you have Muzzie women teaching their children jihad from the time they can walk.
“Islam, all moslems, need Jesus Christ.”
Oh, great. How are you going to convince 1.2 billion anti-Semites to bow down to the teachings of a Jewish rabbi?
It would take a miracle beyond all miracles to see that become reality.
It might be the only possible solution. Mass murder and coercion are too deeply embedded in Islamic texts. To repudiate the former, you must deny the divinity of the latter, and that’s not happening.
If I had lived in the time of Calvin and Luther, I would have eaten lots of popcorn.
The ends really blow, too.
I left the country before Caligula could show up. Did I just miss him?
