Admit the whole of Mahomet's authentic history, so far as it was of a nature capable of being known or witnessed by others, to be true (which is certainly to admit all that the reception of the religion can be brought to prove), and Mahomet might still be an impostor, or enthusiast, or a union of both. Many of these issues can be considered in relation to Carlyle's description of what he sees as prevailing opinions of Mahomet: Our current hypothesis about Mahomet, that he was a scheming Impostor, a Falsehood incarnate, that his religion is a mere mass of quackery and fatuity, begins really to be now untenable to any one.

While many continued to portray Muhammad as heresiarch, a false prophet, and an impostor, it is often to contrast him with deviant Christians, who are cast as worse. In an almanac published in Paris in , we find an image of “the impostor Mahomet” in hell alongside the “seducer Calvin” (fig. 11).
