Islam and it’s book, the quran is not subject to reformation.

Any efforts by the govt’s of Turkey et al. are meaningless.

Christian reformation is entirely different.

The quran is supposed to be “the word of God” as opposed to most of the new and old testament, being “inspired by God”

Therefore, the quran CANNOT be reinterpreted as it would contradict God, well beyond the many existing contradictions, to make it worthless.

RE: Any efforts by the govt’s of Turkey et al. [to reform Islam] are meaningless.

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk did it.. at least he led the conversion from Ottoman Turkey to a secular democratic Republic of Turkey founded in 1923.

The Islamist AK Party has steadily undermined the secular government in Turkey for a decade with lots of help, some say, from American citizen Fethullah Gülen a Turkish imam operating in Turkey and worldwide from a compound in Pennsylvania.

So now one could say "Any efforts by to thwart the [Islamist government] of Turkey . . . are meaningless."
