The fact that the daughter feels there hasn't been an impact is more relevant than her mother's wailings in an assessment of what the damage actually was.

What I think may be going on is that because of the status of scientific materialism in our culture some religious people have come to share the suspicion that visions and so on are mere delusions, therefore not "real", so that to admit that the Night Journey was a vision would in their minds be tantamount to saying that it was a delusion, that it didn't really happen, or whatever. And perhaps Hasan didn't want to hand Dawkins such an easy apparent victory.
