Islam already had a reformation and it yielded the Shia branch of Islam.

Sisi also called for countering “extremist” views and erroneous religious beliefs, adding that the Islamic value of tolerance must be promoted.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi again called on Sunday for a “religious revolution” against extremism within the Islamic world in an interview on a religious public radio station.
Speaking at Al-Azhar University, one of the world’s top center for Sunni learning, Sisi said, “I am addressing the religious scholars and clerics. We must take a long, hard look at the current situation.”
“It is inconceivable that the ideology we sanctify should make our entire nation a source of concern, danger, killing, and destruction all over the world,” he said.
“It has reached the point that [this ideology] is hostile to the entire world. Is it conceivable that 1.6 billion [Muslims] would kill the world’s population of seven billion, so that they could live [on their own]? This is inconceivable,” said Sisi according to MEM
RE: Why Islam Needs a Reformation
The only problem with the above advise is this:
The Christian Reformation was an attempt to return to BIBLICAL Christianity ( i.e. SOLA SCRIPTURA, scripture as the guide to Christian faith and practice ).
Now, imagine an Islamic “reformation” modeled on the Christian one... that would entail -— a return to QURANIC Islam ( The Quran as the guide to Muslim faith and practice ).
Does the author even realize what she is recommending?
Did she bother to even read and understand what the QURAN teaches about women, Jihad, war, government, etc.?
One of the dumbest articles I have ever read. How do you reform a religion that says it the final word of God and any attempt to change it is blasphemy or apostasy.
