IBTZ. Calvinism as similar to islam is a stretch.

Calvinism and Islam both have a similar legalistic streak and reject the role of reason.

Calvinism and Islam both have a similar legalistic streak and both reject the role of reason in faith.

Pope Benedict XVI drew the connection in his Regensburg Address:

Dehellenization first emerges in connection with the postulates of the Reformation in the sixteenth century. Looking at the tradition of scholastic theology, the Reformers thought they were confronted with a faith system totally conditioned by philosophy, that is to say an articulation of the faith based on an alien system of thought. As a result, faith no longer appeared as a living historical Word but as one element of an overarching philosophical system. The principle of sola scriptura, on the other hand, sought faith in its pure, primordial form, as originally found in the biblical Word. Metaphysics appeared as a premise derived from another source, from which faith had to be liberated in order to become once more fully itself. When Kant stated that he needed to set thinking aside in order to make room for faith, he carried this programme forward with a radicalism that the Reformers could never have foreseen. He thus anchored faith exclusively in practical reason, denying it access to reality as a whole.

Not the theology relating to the will of God.

Now that we know that the Quran was put together from an Aramaic language Christian missionary's guide to converting the Arabs at Mecca, an anomalous Torah based on a slightly different understanding of Jewish history, and a variety of pagan materials from which the paganism was redacted to make them look more like a monotheistic revelation ~ we really can't use ANY statements in it to prove or disprove anything about it or another religious movement related or unrelated.

In short, you can't quote sh*t to prove sn*t.
