Also, I'm not sure what an Islamic Reformation would mean. Islam is already pretty decentralized.
I would mean the separation of religion and profane life into separate magisteria.
The problem with Islam is that it claims to be a total religion which guides all aspects of human life including politics, art, etc. Islam never had a "render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's" moment and routinely calls the Christian separation of sacred and profane life "schizophrenic".
The idea that religion shouldn't be all of life is a good idea, but I don't think that's what most people mean by a Reformation.
