Medieval polemicists denied Muslim sacred history and substituted their own accounts

Evidence

Alfonsi rejects as groundless the Muslim tradition that the Ka’ba was constructed by Abraham and Ishmael. Instead, he gives his own peculiar version of its history: The two sons of Lot, Amon and Moab, honored this house, and the two idols were brought there by them, one made of white stone, the other of black stone. — John V. Tolan, Saracens, 815
