This tendency of reforming Islam somehow correlates with colonialism.A new and powerful culture with all its values invaded the lands of Islam.On our side there was a situation of military and political defeat.Generally people follow the winners and feel inferior to them.The question was : How to deal with this situation?.One option was complete surrender;The second option was total rejection;The third option was to be wise,'take what is good and leave what is bad';And the final option was to do none of the above,rather try to be a muslim,but somewhow distort Islam to the likings of the new Masters.
In my humble view reformists followed the last option.

I think you hit the nail on the head with that line of reasoning. The occurrences are increasing by the day with "masters" searching for the distortioners among the Ummah and bringing them forth as "moderate voices".
