why did i just realize that modernist islam is kinda like protestantism
they looked at societies who have been practicing their local traditions for centuries having adapted the religion to their local beliefs and were like: “no we have to go back to a pure, almost puritanical belief system following the true and original way!!” and lo and behold rejected tradition in favor of…tradition?
:meowpeekaboo: 

and thus much fun conflict and in some cases violence occurs :boar:

@cell@outerheaven.club "modernist"? Your description matches Salafi/Wahhabi ideas and I don't think they call themselves modernist.

@emmy oh yes, i'm referring to it in an indonesian context mostly where it contrasts to the more "traditional" javanese islam which has alot of syncretic elements to it, influenced by hinduism and animist beliefs :cat_si:
