RAMANAM
In the Name of The Father, and of The Son and of The Holy Spirit, Amen.

I try not to take other’s work as occasion for persiflage or raillery.  Really I do.  But this rattle brain is an exception.  He got to me.  Comparing Luther and Calvin with Wahhab, yet.

Thus, if Martin Luther (d. 1546) rejected the extra-scriptural accretions of the Church and “reformed” Christianity by aligning it more closely with scripture, Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab (d. 1787), one of Islam’s first modern reformers, “called for a return to the pure, authentic Islam of the Prophet, and the rejection of the accretions that had corrupted it and distorted it,” in the words of Bernard Lewis in his 1997 book, The Middle East.

I commented at several places in the comments section, which itself I think comprises a useful compendium of outlooks on this and related matters.
