Islam’s triumph made God appear to enforce the Quran against Christians

Evidence

Christian missions were Jeered at by the Muslims, who said that Jesus Christ could not help them against Muhammad; also the Jews and Tartars jeered. ‘Now among the peoples they openly say, Where is God, the God of the Christians?’ God was become the implementer of the Qur’an: factus executor Alcorani. — Norman Daniel, Islam and the West, 737

Categorization

  • DEEPTHINKING: The theological scandal that victory itself reads as divine endorsement — God literally ‘became the executor of the Qur’an’ — is a dense inversion of providential theodicy that rebuts tidy Western constructions of Islam as mere enemy.
  • XREF: Complicates the raison d’état/providential-logic claims in the Islamophobia cluster: Ricoldo reads Islam’s worldly success as active divine endorsement, not raw enemy power.
