"From the early 1650s a call to return to the basic principles of Islam had been preached by a fiery preacher, Mehmed Kadizade, whose followers were called kadizadelis. Kadizade condemned not only the non-Islamic consumption of wine, coffee and tobacco, but also the religious institutions in general and the dervish orders in particular. His slogan was: ‘Every innovation is heresy, every heresy is error, and every error leads to hell.’"

A reaction to the Ottomans living it up, I guess. A contemporary European view of Islam: "[Joseph Pitton de Tournefort] believed Islam was the most seductive, and therefore the most dangerous, of all the false non-Christian religions, because it offered the same spiritual rewards as Christianity in the next world while allowing far more sensual pleasures in this one."
