Christian reformation had a pope to rebel against, who had an army to field soldiers against. Islam is highly decentralized, and the army includes zealots and assassins who do not observe the rules of war, even as outlined in the Koran. I wouldn't bet on a Calvin or Luther appearing any time soon.

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.

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.

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.

The reformation of Islam has already occurred.

The Isis and Saudi Immams are actually an attempt at counter reformation. They insist on returning to a purity that has been gone for decades, even generations.

Islam has evolved with the times. What is demanded is to cease and reverse the evolution and moderninaty.

The President of Egypt has called for an end of the counter reformation. He and those in the vast majority will prevail over those that are trying their damndest to return to a state hyped up purity

A “Luther” wouldn’t do a lick of good for Islam.

Martin Luther split with “the church” because they were acting of their own extra-biblical authority,
CONTRARY TO Scripture.

The Muslims who are termed “radical” today are in fact the “Luthers” - acting IN ACCORDANCE with their scripture.
