Quote by Thomas Carlyle
The lies (Western slander) which well-meaning zeal has heaped round this man (Muhammad) are disgraceful to ourselves only.
Summary
This quote suggests that the lies or slander directed towards Muhammad from Western societies are more reflective of the Westerners themselves and their inherent biases or misunderstandings rather than Muhammad's true character or actions. It implies that these deceitful narratives are a shameful reflection on Western attitudes rather than an accurate representation of Muhammad.
