San Pedro missed Islam’s self-understanding because he focused on correcting it.

Evidence

This aspect of Islam was overcast in San Pedro’s mind by the dominant thought that the Qur’anic version of the Prophets was inaccurate. He was too concerned to correct the Qur’an to pay attention to its own claim to be the corrector. — Norman Daniel, Islam and the West, 159

Categorization

• XREF: Echoes the vault theme of the West constituting Islam as error to be corrected rather than hearing its own claim to correct — parallels Razack’s ‘casting out’ and Aziz’s framing of Muslims as permanently suspect.
