Yep. The author has his hat on backwards.

Well, I don't know how "silly" it really is. I do think that the author may be attributing a connection running from Mohammedanism to Protestantism which is seeing something which isn't there. But it is fascinating that in two theological systems which The Church views as heretical, we see so many remarkable similarities. Personally I don't think there is a direct connection, but as I said, I do think that the influence of the early Christian heresies which history tells us much of Mohammedanism arose from on the one hand and which Protestantism claims as its religious forebears on the other does show up to this day both in the theologies and the praxis of these two belief systems. I can't say, as I think about it, that that surprises me, but it is interesting nevertheless.
