“The counter reformation was not successful, even by force of conquering arms. The mass of modernized, evolved Islam rejected the counter reformation.”
What is your example of “mass of modernized, evolved Islam”?
Turkey? No, that doesn’t work. It’s becoming more Islamist by the day.
Indonesia? No, that doesn’t work. It too is becoming more Islamist by the day.
Seriously, where do you find this “modernized, evolved Islam”?
Indonesia, Egypt, Malaysia, United Arab Emirates,
