A quick google search for "islam personal relationship with god" immediately provides numerous articles, research papers and books that contradict your claims about Islam, most written by practicing Muslims.

My question wasn't about the totality of the European record, but specifically about what was done when they arrived in the Americas.

Weird. My top hit is:

> Islam rejects the doctrine of the Incarnation and the notion of a personal god as anthropomorphic

Is it possible that a layperson's blog might not be a high quality source of information?

Could it be wikipedia, a definitively non-Muslim source, is not a good source of information on Islamic belief and practice. The practice and theology of lay muslims is no more important than the theology of their leaders. There are more lay muslims than clerics (same is true of every other religion)>

A 'personal god' in this sense means a God who is a person, not a God with whom one has a close relationship.

That is not how I was using it when I introduced the term to this sub-thread.
