In what way exactly has Islam changed since the days of
Muhammed?
Let’s keep our eyes open.
In 859, the clergy and people of Toledo elected Eulogius
bishop; he was never installed in that see. His past made him objectionable to
the caliph, who monitored episcopal elections. The caliph’s officials knew not
only that Eulogius had earlier advised imprisoned Christians, but that he had
also hidden a young girl named Leocritia, who had converted to Christianity
from Islam. Like many Muslim girls who are abused today for having non-Muslim
friends, Leocritia’s parents beat her cruelly to compel her to return to the
Muslim religion. She sought the protection of Eulogius, who gave her sanctuary
among his friends and family. She was found out, however, and all those who had
helped her were brought before the qadi, or judge. When he appeared in court
Eulogius denounced Muhammad as a false prophet. He was told that he could
recant, save his life, and then resume his position as a leader among the
Christians. Eulogius refused; he chose to die for Christ and was soon after
beheaded.
