Abstract	Isaac Taylor, Canon of York, sets out to educate his Christian brethren about Islamic doctrine and the Moslem world, and to demonstrate the folly of the 'hostile, polemic' approach taken by Christian missionaries towards the Moslem peoples. He compares Islam particularly to Unitarian Christianity: 'Possibly the time may come when Mahommedans, who do not differ greatly from English Unitarians in their interpretation of the New Testament, may be designated, if they desire it, by the name of Unitarian Christians. In some respects the Mahommedans go further than many of the Unitarians in their recognition of the divine character of Jesus Christ. They accept fully the doctrine of His miraculous conception, they call Him the Messiah, and they never mention Him without profound reverence, always adding the words, 'Blessed be His Name.''
Notes	Bahá'í Faith: p. 133: 'This, I found, presented no difficulty to him [a Moslem], as it is nearly identical with the doctrines of the Bab, one of the Mahommedan sects.'
