I’ve seen it written so many times: Islam is due for a reformation, or house cleaning. I would like to see it too. But, you know, maybe its not going to happen. Just because Christianity had a reformation, it doesn’t necessarily mean Islam will have one.

Islam is undergoing a reformation as we speak. The influx of petrodollars has resulted in the spread of wahabiism all over the world. Even places like Malaysia, Thailand, etc which in the past have had localized versions of Islam are now adopting a more extreme “arabized” version. The reformation in Islam is unfortunately headed the wrong direction.
