Editing Paul the Apostle (section)

===In Islam===
Muslims have long believed that Paul purposefully corrupted the [[Injil|original revealed teachings]] of [[Isa ibn Maryam|Jesus]],{{sfn|Hindson|Caner|2008|p=280}}{{sfn|De Young|2004|p=60}}{{sfn|Riddell|2001|p=235}} through the introduction of such elements as [[pagan]]ism,{{sfn|Waardenburg|1999|p=276}} the making of Christianity into a theology of [[atonement in Christianity|the cross]],{{sfn|Waardenburg|1999|p=255}} and introducing [[original sin]] and the need for [[Redemption (theology)#Christianity|redemption]].{{sfn|De Young|2004|p=64}}

[[Sayf ibn Umar]] claimed that certain rabbis persuaded Paul to deliberately misguide early Christians by introducing what Ibn Hazm viewed as objectionable doctrines into Christianity.{{sfn|Adang|1996|pp=105–06}}{{sfn|Anthony|2011|p=68}} [[Ibn Hazm]] repeated Sayf's claims.{{sfn|Brann|2010|pp=65–66}} Paul has been criticized by some modern Muslim thinkers. [[Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas]] wrote that Paul misrepresented the message of Jesus,{{sfn|Riddell|2001|p=235}} and [[Rashid Rida]] accused Paul of introducing {{transliteration|ar|[[Shirk (Islam)|shirk]]}} (polytheism) into Christianity.{{sfn|Waardenburg|1999|p=276}} [[Mohammad Ali Jouhar]] quoted [[Adolf von Harnack]]'s critical writings of Paul.{{sfn|Waardenburg|1999|p=255}}

In [[Sunni]] Muslim polemics, Paul plays the same role (of deliberately corrupting the early teachings of Jesus) as a later Jew, [[Abdullah ibn Saba']], would play in seeking to destroy the message of Islam from within.{{sfn|Anthony|2011|p=68}}{{sfn|Brann|2010|pp=65–66}}{{sfn|Pall|2013|p=55}} Among those who supported this view were scholars [[Ibn Taymiyyah]] (who believed while Paul ultimately succeeded, Ibn Saba failed) and [[Ibn Hazm]] (who claimed that the Jews even admitted to Paul's sinister purpose).{{sfn|Adang|1996|pp=105–06}}
