"In
my opinion, there can be no reformation or enlightenment in Sunni or Shiite Islam, because there is no church to be reformed. In Islam, we
are subject to the power of a sacred book and the instructions it gives.
Identity and understanding of self come from the Koran. If Muslims
could use their reason without the instructions of a book which is
recognized as the Word of God, then we could talk about enlightenment.
But today most Muslims are against the ideas of the Western Enlightenment."
So there's that!
