it's Thérèse-Anne Druart describing Al-Ghazâlî's approach and attitude to the falsafa movement (mainly al-Fârâbî and Avicenna).

All of em. Individually and collectively. (I have already forgotten exactly what the source is, and the notes that would tell me are in my office)

"He devotes considerable space to dealing with philosophers, whom he considers particularly dangerous."

The way things are going round here, I'm going to have to remember all that Portuguese I forgot.
