Averroes’s philosophy was more influential in Christian Europe than in the Islamic world

Evidence

Averroes’s writings attracted careless readers and partisans on both sides and, for a while, anybody suspected of any kind of freethinking was likely to be labelled an Averroist. Curiously, despite the denunciations and attempts to ban the teaching of Averroism in the universities, his views were actually more widely known and discussed in Christian Europe than they were in the Islamic world. — Robert Irwin, For Lust of Knowing, 72
