  • As a complete fucking layman and atheist, it strikes me that Islam is a "newer" religion and that it hasn't had time to go through a reformation.

    Christianity went through one 500 years ago, Islam is 610 years "younger" than Christianity. Then again Judaism is 3500 years old and there are still too many "fire and brimstone" proponents it would seem within Israel.

  • hasn't had time to go through a reformation.

    I reckon that such past events are only very loosely linked to the here and now. The reformation is of little consequence when you see US Christian fundamentalists turning their backs on basic science in an effort to bolster in group loyalty.
