Islamic Reformation
The situation at hand is the result of a "Reformation" in Islamic scholarship and jurisprudence which took place circa 1100 AD with Imam Ghazali's rebuke of philosophical method in two books, The Incoherence of Philosophers and The Revival of Religious Science. Islam has already had a reformation, a return to the textual basis of Quran and Hadith and a Dehellenization. This is the reason there have been no major Islamic scholars in 800 years. Apologists for Islam will state that Muslims developed algebra, astronomy, etc, etc., but look at he historical record- this stops in the 12th century AD because of the rejection of systematic philosophy and the process of dehellenization.
We stand at risk in the West of the same by two different threats - dehellenization and the textualism of Evangelical protestantism and the dehellenization and deconstructionism of postmodern philosophy.

This is a bigger and more important issue than modern theologians want to address... or admit.
Progressive science took a huge leap into the abiss when the leadership in science and astronomy of Arab thinkers came to prostrate itself to the ignorant self appointed theological leaders of f the 12th century. The problem...was that these theological leaders also had the judges, procecutsutors and the military on their side. Science abruptly stopped thinking. And today's intellectual level of the Moslem leaders is on par with the scientific literacy of Western Fundamentalusts. A curse both their houses. And a death knoll for all humanity if the common man lets this state of affairs remain.
May God save us from those who claim to be speaking for God.
