In the seventh century, towards the beginning of it, rose up that vile impostor Mahomet, as bitter an enemy to the true, proper and eternal Sonship of Christ, as ever was, for which he gave the following brutish and stupid reasons; "because God did not need a Son, because if he had a Son, they might not agree, and so the government of the world be disturbed." Reasons which require no answer.

John Gill, A Dissertation Concerning the Eternal Sonship of Christ; Shewing by whom it has been denied and opposed, and by whom asserted and defended, in all ages of Christianity in A Collection of Sermons and Tracts: In Two Volumes (2 vols, London: George Keith, 1773), 2: 559.
 
Hm. Never heard this contention from Muhammad but it makes sense. I always heard they are opposed to the idea of God having a sin because they assume it involves a sexual nature.

(And the Mormons would say, “So what?”)
