Hey, Just.
No muslim in his right mind (admittedly a small sample) would use the Doctrina Jacobi. All it gives them is an alleged appearance of a "prophet" among the Saracens, which was a Greco-Roman term for any one from Arabia but two years after he supposedly died and flew up to fucking heaven or something.
That line could get copious amounts of rocks thrown at your head...which seems to be the way they handle dissent.

Quote:So I, Abraham, inquired and heard from those who had met him that there was no truth to be found in the so-called prophet, only the shedding of men's blood. He says also that he has the keys of paradise, which is incredible [i.e., not credible].
