@ false doctrines and malpractices within the Church, particularly involving the teaching and sale of indulgences.

Response: Islam does not have a church so this does not apply to Islam.
@ On 31 October 1517, in Saxony (in what is now Germany), Martin Luther nailed his Ninety-Five Theses to the door of the Wittenberg Castle Church, which served as a pin board for university-related announcements.

@The first of a series of disruptive and new perspectives came from John Wycliffe at Oxford University, then from Jon Huss at the University of Prague. The Catholic Church officially concluded this debate at the Council of Constance (1414–1418). The conclave condemned Jon Huss, who was executed by burning in spite of a promise of safe-conduct. Wycliffe was posthumously burned as a heretic.
Response: Treachery
@ Following the breakdown of monastic institutions and scholasticism in late medieval Europe,
Response: Islam does not have a monastic orders so this does not apply to Islam.
@ The "humanism" of the Renaissance period stimulated unprecedented academic ferment, and a concern for academic freedom. Ongoing, earnest theoretical debates occurred in the universities about the nature of the church, and the source and extent of the authority of the papacy, of councils, and of princes.
Evangelicals denounce "humanism"
@ God was now an unknowable absolute ruler, and religion would be more fervent and emotional.
Response: It took long time to realize that this is in Islam.
@ Humanism's intellectual anti-clericalism would profoundly influence Luther.
Response: Islam does not have clergy
@ that the only true authority is the Bible,
Response: In Islam the Quran.
@ religious tradition (including the Canonization of Saints)

@ Five purposes, though he denied that their succession from the Apostles gave their consecration any special sacramental value. And while Luther rejected many of the Roman Catholic sacraments,
