With Christian doctrine you get the protestant reformation using the text of the bible to demonstrate the illigitimacy of the Catholic Church. You get Thomas Paine in his Pamphlet "Common Sense" demonstrating the illigitimacy of the divine rule of monarchs and the legitimacy of government, of, by and for the people. With Islamic doctrine we get this current Islamic Fundamentalist reformation using the text of the Koran and Hadiths to demonstrate the illigitimacy of any governance other than an Islamic Caliphate applying Islamic doctrine as law and the duty of Jihad to establish, expand and defend the caliphate.
It was an invention of the Catholic church.
