Because as we know, the rise of protestantism immediately ushered an era of unprecedented peace and liberality. It certainly wasn't by its own definition a return to fundamentalist interpretations of scripture.

Islam did have plenty of relatively liberal movements, such as Jadidism or Islamic Modernism, for example, if that's what you are looking for. Remeber, Islam is not monolithic, especially Sunni Islam. Some Muslims are as developed and as secular/liberal as most Europeans (such as Tatars or Kazakhs) others tend to be very backwards (such as Somalis or Afghanis).

Mock all you want,Catholicism has been an enemy of progress since its inception, burning books and people it deemed heretical.

kinda depends on where...English Protestantism and French Catholicism were generally pretty liberal when it came to new ideas (ergo the enlightenment stemming largely from those 2 countries). The 2 faiths in other regions wasn't so relaxed.
>>
>>2982598

Islam already has a lot of versions and the 'french revolution' of islam came via sort of laicist regimes via arab/turkish nationalism (ataturk, assad, saddam, et al).

Unsurprisingly, the Protestant countries allied themselves with the hardcore islamist regimes represented by salafist-wahhabbist regimes of the yihad sheikhs and talibans to subvert and destroy the shia and laicist progressive arab regimes.

It's a mind boggling position that sadly I've seen during these debates on Islam and liberalism. I think Ayaan Hirsi Ali is famous for it, calling for Islamic Reformation as if the Protestant one was some enlightenment movement bringing rights for minorities, secularism, liberation of women, etc.

You need to use a little more time researching your history - your understanding of the reformation is lacking.

The people of Europe (many of them at least) were ready for a reformation of Christianity, growing weary of the heavy burdens, both physical and spiritual, of Roman Catholicism. The sale of indulgences, supposedly guaranteeing the purchaser a pass into heaven; corrupt and venal priests screwing as much money and people as they could

Many contempories of Luther, including Erasmus and Calvin wanted a reform of the church
>>
>>2983774
The Reformation was a reaction against the rampant, bureaucratic hedonism of the Catholic Church. The reason this analogy fails with Islam is because there is no centralizing authority to rebel against.
>>
>>2982598

Yes, and they came up with the perfect solution to fix the flaws of a human institution like the Church: get rid of it and over it like a Nietzschean superman, establishing your own exclusive relationship with God, the only one you need to answer to.

Oh and ofc to your local congregation peeking out on you at the window to make sure you exhibit the proper conduct, the proper dressing code and abide to the uptight borderline fanatic socioreligious community standards set up by the community leaders, who also happen to define what goes and what does not go in your own particular relationship with god.

Islam did have a reformation.

The scholarly consensus and interpretation built up over hundreds of years was rejected and the result was an even more violent and regressive and illiberal version of islam called salafism.

That's their reformation.
>>
>>2985821
Well, if we ignore the fact that much of contemporary Wahabist/Salafist ideology has roots all the way back here: >>2982769, we can take a look at the development of Salafism as an ideology.

The basic idea is that "standing jurisprudence rulings may need overturned due to new research in the Islamic 'sciences' (i.e. historiography and text criticism, etc.).

At the dawn of the Salafi movement it was actually super pro western and sought to interface with rather than reject colonial forces, being more or less moderates, being Ashari rationalists.

However, it was not long until much of the Salafist movement was caught up in 'reinterpretation' as cause for increased violence, leading to the clusterfuck we have today.

Positing Salafism as the "evolutionary reform" movement ignores what came before the 1700's.

If you think Calvinism was enlightened, please take a look at the English Civil War. They banned Christmas and plays, and ransacked houses burning all religious art because they considered it idolatry

The Enlightenment in France came out of deists and Catholics

>>
>>2985921
Well the bit about it being THE reformation, and Salafism isn't INHERENTLY backward and violent and regressive...that's where it happened to wander.

Don't get get me wrong here, fuck contemporary Wahab and Qutb tinged Salafism, I'm on board there, but just like other schools of Islam with liberal roots or features, no matter how ignored or atrophied, there's potential to get somewhere with it; just incredibly few people doing it.

There are scores of various denominations within islam, some are quite modern and progressive

But remember that Christianity didn't evolve into the relatively benign form we know today until the 60's.
Wealth and education paved the way for christianity to have a lesser role in our society, it wasn't christendom that changed first

Protestants burned thousands of witches and the religious wars in Europe claimed tens of millions of lives

How are people supposed to evolve if they're not free to try new things? What you call "degeneracy", I call a chance for progress. If people always hold to the same set of ideals instead of revising them in light of new information, that is the height of intransigence which leads to stagnation and, when the circumstances arise, death.

That said, there are no guarantees that a people who are given the freedom to choose their own way will come up with a better way than what's come before. But you see, we HAVE to be free to make those mistakes, or else we will never truly LEARN. Yes, there may be societal unrest and a certain collective uncertainty about the direction society is going, but these are the birth pangs of a better world. Sticking to the old ways forever will only see you washed away in time. The stiff tree breaks in the strong wind.

What if I told you the (admittedly now dead) Jariri school of Fiqh which flourished between Baghdad and modern day Turkey was what most of us would consider hyperliberal; women could preach, lead prayer, hold office, and tried to filter it's rulings to accommodate as many cultural variations as basic sharia would facilitate?

There's a lot of variety out in Islam. As a 'normal' conservative you'd probably get a kick out of the Koran only school that focus on historicity or maybe some of the mystical stuff which puts legalism etc., o the backseat in favor of contemplative practice.

>Have i been brainwashed? By who?

The reformation was an iconoclastic chimpout of the highest caliber.

The Catholic Church were the "liberals" then. All the memes about the strictness and "anti-science" of the Catholic Church was due to a rise in conservatism in response to the Protestants calling them degenerates.

Calvinism, Mennonitism, Zwinglism, and Anabaptism were all highly socially conservative movements that involved severe personal censure.

Go back 40 years before the Protestant reformation and you have Mirandola espousing non-Christian humanist ideas about being God if you want to, and no one cared.
