Evidence

There are monsters that are born with a form that is half-animal and the other human, or retaining everything about them from animals, which are produced by sodomists and atheists who “join together” and break out of their bonds—unnaturally—with animals, and from this are born several hideous monsters that bring great shame to those who look at them or speak of them. — Sophia Rose Arjana, Muslims in the Western Imagination, 314
