"As shown by the artwork above, the Middle Ages also viewed Islam has a heresy. In Dante’s Inferno, Canto XXVIII, Muhammad is depicted as “twixt the legs, Dangling his entrails hung, the midriff lay Open to view…” Muhammad suffers the punishment of the schismatics: having his body rent from chin to anus for how he rent the Body of Christ. ..."
He was saying something about this and to read Dante.
oh, yes, sorry
I was so focused on trying to find the reference to the apparent reference to the letters from the Abbey around 625 about Muhammad I wasn’t thinking about those inspired by this Saint.
I am really interested in these first hand accounts of this Persian General that became Muhammad.
I know St. John is the only strong link to these first hand accounts I can remember.
We have some really good Christian Historians on FreeRepublic, if I catch one of them, I think they will educate and guide us to some really juicy information on the Anti-Church movement of the Persian Empire.
