In their hasty attempt to obfus­cate and attack any­thing that inval­i­dates their claims regard­ing the Prophet’s (P) expe­ri­ences dur­ing the peri­od known as the Fatrah, the Chris­t­ian mis­sion­ary Sam Shamoun had released a ver­bal bar­rage of rhetor­i­cal non­sense in his (ridiculously-)titled A Chris­t­ian Per­spec­tive[!] of the Fatrah of Muham­mad”. Need­less to men­tion, it is nei­ther Chris­t­ian” nor it is bal­anced in its per­spec­tive”, as the author sim­ply remains true to the form of the mis­sion­ary tra­di­tion.
