The forged Christian texts contain explicitly Islamic creedal formulations
Evidence
What perhaps strikes the modern reader of these texts most is the unambiguously Islamic impact of the credal statements to which reference has already been made: “There is no god but Allah and Jesus is the Spirit of Allah.” — L. P. Harvey, Muslims in Spain, 1500 to 1614, 1262
Categorization

- QUESTION: Was this embedding of Islamic creed intentional Morisco self-assertion, or an attempt to Islamize Christianity from within?
