In response to the rise of European Christian power, some Muslim reformers-sometimes called fundamentalists-sought to revitalize Islam by reemphasizing its glorious past. In their attempt to return their religion to what they saw as its pristine origins and purify of it of
"innovations," these conservative Muslims were similar to:
Mahayana Buddhists arguing for using upaya to incorporate indigenous practices into Buddhism
Reform Jews in 20th century North America
Hindus practicing bhakti devotionalism
Dine religious practitioners who also attend the Native American Church
Protestants during the Reformation
