Talk:Islamic Reformism

Concept?

Islamic Protestantism isn't really a coherent concept. It is just an example of taking a concept from one religion, removing it from its context and applying it to a totally different context. So called Muslim "reformers" include a wide and diverse range of opinions from relatively liberal groups to groups like the Wahabis who would be considered by some to be "Fundamentalists" (another term which comes from a specific religion). I would suggest getting rid of the article. Hueyfreeman2006 (talk) 16:41, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

I agree with you. There is no such term being used as Islamic Protestantism. Even in the reference I read no Protestantism used. Izhamwong (talk) 06:01, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

I completely agree. It's a thoroughly Western perspective, and an incorrect one too. I wonder who coined the term, and why does he think there's a need for "Protestantism", when in Islam the relation between a person and God has always been direct? The term may be relevant when referring to Iranian (Shiite?) context, but Iran is the only theocratic state in the Islamic world, and it does not represent the view of the vast majority of Muslims and Islamic school of thought. There's no Roman Catholic papal institution equivalent in Islam, and hence the term "Islamic Protestantism" is an awkward and dubious proposition. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 183.171.167.148 (talk) 15:25, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Article needed

1. historical concepts
2. modern streams

Very wide spectrum, needs article with centralised discussion beyond this DAB. Linked to existing art.s of course, and w/o superseding them. Arminden (talk) 09:22, 18 October 2025 (UTC)
