Voltaire

Percy's drama (Arabia sitiens) was not only the first early modern play to place the Prophet Muhammad on the stage, but the first to introduce the Qur'an to an English audience, at a time when the Islamic holy text was available in England only in the Latin translation of Robert of Ketton published by Theodor Bibliander.

In 1741 Voltaire's exploited and propagated the popular prejudices against Islam in a highly popular and influential play (Le fanatisme; ou, Mahomet le prophete), which however was meant to be a criticism of any form of religious fanaticism (including Christian, which could not be attacked directly). The work was widely performed and translated into other European languages by illustrious authors, including Cesarotti in Italy and Goethe in Germany.
