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.

Now I feel slightly connected. In fact my focus in the last blog in my signature below is on this topic itself and it will be nice to discuss it in threadbare detail. And I feel elated to hear views that resonate with my own.
