Counterreformation

I see Salman Rushdie's talking about an Islamic Reformation. Would we get an Islamic Counterreformation, and Bradford turning into another Salzburg or Prague but with Moorish architecture? Who would organize it? Maybe we'll get an Islamic version of the Jesuits too. I suppose all good Orientalists would call them Mohammedits.

I live not far from a huge and quite serviceable abbey that the Reformation transformed into rubble. I hope this new Reformation won't involve a Muslim John Knox going round breaking things. We haven't properly recovered from the Christian one yet.
