Modern scholars agree that the name of Baphomet was an Old French corruption of the name "Mahomet", with the interpretation being that some of the Templars, through their long military occupation of the Outremer, had begun incorporating Islamic ideas into their belief system, and that this was seen and documented by the Inquisitors as heresy. Alain Demurger, however, rejects the idea that the Templars could have adopted the doctrines of their enemies. Helen Nicholson writes that the charges were essentially "manipulative"—the Templars "were accused of becoming fairy-tale Muslims". Medieval Christians believed that Muslims were idolatrous and worshipped Muhammad as a god, with "mahomet" becoming "" in English, meaning an idol or false god (see also Medieval Christian views on Muhammad). This idol-worship is attributed to Muslims in several . For example, one finds the gods "Bafum e Travagan" in a Provençal poem on the life of St. Honorat, completed in 1300. In the "Chanson de Simon Pouille", written before 1235, a Saracen idol is called "Bafumetz".
