5 - The reformer says:

"The disputes on whether the Qur'an was creature or not extirpated the basis of Islam."

The reformer also gives an example of mixing the madhhabs with politics; Caliph Mamun oppressed the scholars who did not regard the Qur'an as a creature. However, his tortures were not intended for political purposes. If it had been intended for political purposes, he could have found many other reasons for doing it. If we are to say that Mamun applied his tortures for political purposes, then irreligiousness, rather than the religion, was mixed politics. The reformer attempts impute the guilt of irreligiousness to the religion.
