Islamic predestination was read as denying human moral responsibility

Evidence

The principal practical objection to the belief in predestination was, as it had always been and would be in Christian polemic, the conviction that it meant a determinist scheme of morals; in effect, the absence of a moral law. … There was also the accusation that the Judgement Day would be amoral, neglecting works, while rewarding faith. — Norman Daniel, Islam and the West, 884 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
