He did nothing of the kind! Of course, a Muslim always
speaks of a prophet with utmost respect and reverence, and
I am not expected to comment further, as an Ernest Renan
or an indifferent critic would do! But to say that a prophet
whom they describe as a dervish (Sufi) of the wilderness clad in
the skins of animals, and a dervish who comes forth and
sees his "Adon" and the "Angel of the Covenant," and then
does not follow and cleave to him, is ridiculous and incredible.
To think and believe that a prophet is sent by God to pre-
pare the way, to purify and clear the religion for the coming
of his superior, and then describing him as living all his life
in the desert among the animals, is to tell us that he was
constructing chaussees, causeways or railways, not for men,
but for beasts and genii.
