From what he knew of their religion, it was a man's creed. There was but one God, they cried... Theirs was no pantheon of old paganism, or trinity of modern subtleties. God was God! that was all. Mohammad was the messenger of God! Their mosques were miracles of space and coolness and quiet beauty. They had no doubts as to who was Father, and what was the exact position of the Son. Nor did they ever flirt with the powers of darkness, as did the Eastern Christians. To them Lucifer was "Satan who was stoned."
