Islamic Protestantism has been used to describe movements advocating for reformation in Islam, on a parallel to the Protestant Reformation.[1]
Parallels between Islam and Protestantism have long been made. Some thinkers of the Enlightenment "tended to make Mohammed almost a good Protestant and in any event a perceptive opponent of the Curia Romana".[2]
The Iranian author Hashem Aghajari argued for Islamic Protestantism in 2002, as a criticism of the theocratic Islamic state, describing it as:
"A rational, scientific, humanistic Islam. It is a thoughtful and intellectual Islam, an open-minded Islam."
— Hashem Haghajari.[3]
