* lol true I don't think Islam became afraid of ideas, but
rather those with a more By the Book way of thinking gained
political power.
The whole world of Islam isn't afraid of new ideas; most of
Islam is just regular people doing what regular people do.
Getting married, having kids, working, living lives, no
different in whatever country they're in.
It's only a select bunch, that also happen to be power
hungry and have some control. Everybody else is just normal
regular people.

[4]Kenneth Udut Same thing happened in Christiandom; there
was a mess of things floating around in the 33AD-400AD range
of time. I don't have my dates; but basically, it was a mess
of things all calling themselves authentic. Under a single
ruler, all the bigwigs got together and debated over the
Bible and over some pretty detailed aspects of theology.
The main difference is the ecumenical nature of
Christiandom; where it was a meeting of equals.
The West (Rome) split off somewhere in the 1100s or so - I
don't remember the date; and formed the Roman Catholic
Church.
The Eastern Orthodox side maintained the ecumenical way.
That's the main difference that I can see between how the
shift from anything-goes in Islam vs how anything-goes in
Christiandom took place.

[8]Kenneth Udut The protestant reformation, splitting off
from the single Roman church, also became an anything-goes
all over again... a "back to the book" - we're
gonna-do-it-right-this-time... with various splinterings
ever since.

[12]Kenneth Udut But yeah, it's interesting stuff. it's fun
having a rounded view of history where the good guys/bad
guys disappear and it becomes simply, "stuff happened". I
never liked history as a kid 'cause I always wondered about
the "other guys" that they weren't teaching me about.
