I will edit this post later to include a number of links which elude to the themeatic influence or reference to Islam in regard to a number of influential figures.
This thread was inspired somewhat by Kenneth Grant’s comment that Aleister Crowley seemed to be influenced by similar themes, but may have missed mentioning or noticing the impact Islam or Islamic tropes and Medieval and Orientalist views may have had on numerous influential figures both consciously and unconciously.

Post-Islamic Popes on and against Islam
” There have been 196 Popes from Muhammad’s death until now (Honorius to Francis). Now it would take a very long time to go over the life, histories, and experiences each pope has had with Islam. However, make no mistake about it, not only is the Catholic Church the greatest enemy of Islam throughout history, but the Popes of the Catholic Church are the greatest leaders in bringing Christians of all denominations together to fight against the Muslim antichrists of each age and, when followed, to bring Christians to victory over the Muslims. That is also to say that what you see happening today with Pope Francis is not only an anomaly, but in direct contradiction- even against the very teachings- of the popes over the past 1400 years.
A brief survey of these 196 men reveal that 52- just a little over 25%- have been directly involved in fighting against Islam and Muslims in some form or another. I went through and compiled the following list of information about each pope, giving their title, their years of reign, and what they specifically did with Islam and Muslims, as well as any historical context that may have been present. What I found even surprised me, and Islamic studies is my specialty, since there were not only so many popes involved in this struggle, but the degree to which they were and continued to be involved for many centuries. ”
” Ratzinger describes Islam as having a “total organization of life, completely different from ours, it embraces simply everything.”[18] ”

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Johann_Wolfgang_von_Goethe#Goethe_.26_Islam
” It is interesting that this article does not explain the complex relationship between Goethe and the Islamic world. It does not once mention Goethe’s sympathy for Islam, his love for Hafez’ poetry, and even his obvious message that he rejected Christianity in favour of Islam:
Jesus fühlte rein und dachte
Nur den Einen Gott im Stillen;
Wer ihn selbst zum Gotte machte
Kränkte seinen heil’gen Willen.
Und so muß das Rechte scheinen
Was auch Mahomet gelungen;
Nur durch den Begriff des Einen
Hat er alle Welt bezwungen.
Und nun kommst du, hast ein Zeichen
Dran gehängt, das unter allen …
Mir am schlechtesten will gefallen
Diese ganze moderne Narrheit
Magst du mir nach Schiras bringen!
Soll ich wohl, in seiner Starrheit,
Hölzchen quer auf Hölzchen singen?
(WA I, 6, 288 ff)He continues with a much more powerful statement:
Mir willst du zum Gotte machen
Solch ein Jammerbild am Holze!?
It is very obvious that Goethe had left the teachings of Christianity in favour of Hafez’ Islam and Sufism. He even began his later writings with the Arabic Shahada:see picture
In his last poems, he propagated the Quranic teaching that Jesus was a prophet – the main difference between Islam and Christianity:
Ephesus gar manches Jahr schon,
Ehrt die Lehre des Propheten – Jesus. (Friede sei dem Guten!)
(WA I, 6, 269)It is also very clear that Goethe wrote about the ISlam of Hafez, not the general Islam of the normal people.
The “dialogue between Hafez (14th century) and Goethe (19th century) is one of the most interesting themes. This “dialogue” continued with the poetry of Muhammad Iqbal. ”
