Sola Scripura - follow the Bible or the Koran or the Vedas only. I thought you were bright enough to get that. What I wrote was an example.

Calling it an example in one way to wiggle out.

Regardless, the Protestant doctrine of Sola Scriptura is about the Bible, not whatever uninspired scribblings the unregenerate mistake for Scripture. But yes, I will admit it's possible for other religions to have equivalent doctrines. Karaites are Jews who do. I'm pretty sure all Sikhs do. But I don't know of any Muslims at all who hold a doctrine functionally equivalent to Sola Scriptura. They might exist, but I haven't heard of them. Certainly mainstream Muslims and even Wahhabis hold to the Hadith.

and the Muslim Sola Scriptura is linked the Koran. Sola Scriptua is a theory/philosophy on how to view things. In their outlooks on how to worship in some ways Protestants hold a superficial similarity to Islam.

Let us make a list of some similarities SOME Protestants have with Islam.

Sola Scriptura - only the Koran serves a sa basis for the faith - tradition holds no weight.

No clergy - no authority exists between man and his relationship to God.

No icons - some Protestant sects don't even allow crosses.

No saints.

No alcohol.

Similarity to young adult baptism in some Protestant sects and young adult male circumcision in Islam

For some Protestant's Sunday's are not held to be the Lord's day.

No dancing or secular singing for some Protestant sects.

No Holy Eucharist

De-emphasis on the Holy Trinity
