Muslims like to go on and on about how the Trinity does not make sense and how it is not found in the Old Testament.
The response is that Christianity arose from a Jewish context. Jews are not Trinitarians.
What did they see that caused them to leave Judaism and become Christian? Whatever it was must have been very persuasive. They understood the Old testament very well and could have formulated the same arguments back then.
How did Christianity arise even against this sort of obvious reason, as well as the persecution of Christians that is well-known.
So disparaging the Trinity does not help disprove Christianity, but it actually helps.
Also I find it interesting that this squeamishness about the Trinity is almost exclusively a Muslim thing. Westerners' objections are many and varied, but the Trinity is usually not high on the list.
