I'm not surprised. Universities have always been the wokest of places.Prestigious academic publisher adds DEI requirements for peer-reviewed submission.
In the academic world, professors publish or perish. Often coveted perks like tenure are tied to the quantity of an academic's published work.
No one said it was the exact same religion, just that christianity is closer to it than any other religion. Early Christianity also had tons of sects that denied all of those things that doesn't change that they were christian. The only thing that can claim to be closer is Messianic Judaism, which is a form of christianity so can't really pretend to a different religion. Mainstream Judaism rejects Jesus even as a prophet and thus there just isn't another religion you can say is closer to Christianity than Islam.
Your upbringing is unrelated to the conversation and your use of the word nonsense is hilarious here considering, but it is hard for me to imagine you've never heard of this if that were true. Maybe thats why these missionaries have had little success. Anyway it's common knowledge that Islam was considered a Christian heresy by Christians during the middle ages and early modern era.

I also only recently heard this, though I may have heard it before I didn't remember it at all. It does put the missionary acts of Ramon Llull into a different perspective though.No one said it was the exact same religion, just that christianity is closer to it than any other religion.

historical attitudes and beliefs about the religion of Islam are not the same as we know them today. You might be surprised to learn that Medieval Christendom actually condemned Islam as a Christian heresy, a thought still surviving today.

Not till 1800,but for first 100 years.Becouse for ERE chronicles they were treated as heretics,not another religion, at least for first 100 years of its existence.
Shrug. It's fine if he believes that.Trump says Bud Light should be given a "second chance" after Dylan Mulvaney backlash
Former President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social that Bud Light parent company Anheuser-Busch "is not a woke company."
They won't and will just but thier popularity again.
True.And Dante send to his Hell not only people who deserved it,like Mochamet,but many political enemies.He belonged to pro-HRE party/Gibelin/ ,when his enemies belonged to pro-pope party/Gwelf/ -thus many popes and cardinals in his Hell which could be sinners or not,but certainly opposed HRE.
No, it absolutely does make them not Christian.
'Common knowledge' doesn't exactly fit, given I have not heard this referenced in any history book, historical fiction, personal account from a Muslim, personal account from a Christian, etc, etc. Thinking back, I vaguely recall mentions of theologians debated whether or not Islam would count as X, but not as anything remotely resembling a 'it was in general thought that.'Your upbringing is unrelated to the conversation and your use of the word nonsense is hilarious here considering, but it is hard for me to imagine you've never heard of this if that were true.

Yes it’s not really scripture or tradition. But many people believe much of what is there is true. And it doesn’t matter really. My argument was that people thought Muhammad was a heretic who created something that stole people away from the truth of Christianity. It would be the same if I said people thought that Cleopatra was a whore and seductress, and my evidence was Dante’s inferno putting her in the circle of lust. Whether she was a slut or not is not important only that some people thought she was and there is no evidence of others arguing against it.

One can follow christ without believing him divine, he also never taught such a thing outright and you are projecting Pauline christianity on to all christian sects even though there are literally christian sects recorded who do not believe this. The gospels don't say a lot of what you clearly consider christian, most of that is in the letters of Paul. Your opinion of it isn't relevant to this and I don't give a damn if you think it makes these sects not christian as I'm not asking for your opinion I'm stating that there are historical christian sects that hold each of the beliefs you say disqualify Islam from being like christianity (which is itself irrelevant to what we're talking about anyway, which is closeness.)
Again, you not knowing something isn't a benchmark I care about. A simple google search of "Islam Christian Heresy" pulls up pages of links proving that it was considered as such by christians until the modern era. This wasn't meant to be anything other than one of two points of proof that even Christians and Muslims consider themselves to be very closely related religions. I can't help that you think you would know about this if it were true or whatever, but that doesn't prove anything about it not being widely known it just shows you aren't as educated or informed as you're letting on.
If your conception of what Christianity is fundamentally wrong, there's no point in arguing over how similar it is or isn't to Islam.
