Right on Mark.
If anything, the Enlightenment caused more trouble in the long-run than good as the movement largely attempted to distance itself from Christianity.
The real driving force for Christian reformation was the introduction of the King James Bible. By introducing massed quantities of an English translation of the Bible (with incredible attention to accurate translation), people had the ability to see for themselves the teachings within. Doing so, they began to question the status quo.
I wonder as to the Muslim relation to this fact:
How many can read the Koran?
How devout are those who are literate versus those who are not?
Knowing that a large literate population have made themselves hostile, exactly how familiar are they with the Koran?
Do they base their faith upon their own interpretations or someone else’s?
And, does knowledge of the Koran’s contents aid or impede fanaticism? Etc.
