Satan and Making Mock

[Fake Messiah]

In general, this is about the taboo and evil characters of all religions, but Christianity tends to be the most fussy.

Sure, just look at Satanism. Who invented Satanism if not Catholic Church so it can attack and get rid of its enemies by stigmatizing them in a very banal and easy way. So, as Muslims were seen as enemies in the eyes of the Church, they used the old French word for Mohammed, which was Mahomet, to name this devilish being Baphomet. At the time, European Christian dogma viewed the worship of Mohammed as idolatry, and probably still does.

So if you look at etymology for the word "Baphomet" you'll find out that the earliest known use of the word Baphomet comes from a letter written by a French crusader in 1098. He describes the Crusaders’ enemies in the Holy Land "Calling upon Baphometh" prior to battle. Another early chronicle of the crusades refers to mosques as Bafumarias.

Then in the 14th century Knights Templars were tied to Baphomet by their enemy King Philip IV of France.

And as this article says

Being arrested as a heretic was particularly unpleasant in Medieval France due to Inquisition-style torture techniques. The punishment would continue until the prisoner confessed. King Philip accused the Knights Templar of spitting and urinating on the cross, engaging in homosexuality, and worshipping Baphomet as an idol. Baphomet, presumably a reference to Mohammed, was allegedly incorporated into the Templar practice during their time mingling with Islamic culture in the Middle East. Basically, King Philip was accusing the Knights Templar of having become Muslims. Similar charges were leveled against other political opponents of King Philip IV, and are also presumed to be fabricated.

And then over the next 500 years, people added more to the Baphomet like how he looks and what he is.
