As a medieval Christian author William could hardly avoid hostility towards the kingdom's Muslim neighbours, but as an educated man who lived among Muslims in the east, he was rarely polemical or completely dismissive of Islam.
作为中世纪的基督徒作家，威廉几乎无法避免对王国的穆斯林邻居们的敌视，但是作为一个生活在东方的穆斯林中间的饱学之士，他对伊斯兰教很少讨论或完全不屑一顾。
