Allah is not G-d
I feel it necessary to refute Kazanova's cut and paste piece with one from an expert in the history of Semitic worship. If one correctly assesses the information given it is easily seen that the Muslims do not worship or even honor the G-d (Yahweh) to which both Christian and Jew pay homage. Indeed, it will be seen quite clearly that they are mere idol worshiping pagans who still follow the customs of their primitive ancestors. At no point does the Qur'an remove them from those ancient practices, but does instead codifies them into a very crude political/religious system. It is my belief that Muhammed was a brigand who saw a way to draw an illerate people to him for the sole purpose of robbery, conquest, and personal power. Most of it can be proven in a straight-forward manner, as has been evidenced in other posts of mine. The following is to show also that Islam is tied to Judaism and Christianity for the reason of survival. Without their support it (Islam) would come to naught.

(Something really ought to be done about the idiotic behavior of Kazanova3. He is lacking the intelligence necessary for a discussion of the points made by his cut and paste articles, and when questioned he either evades it or ignores it. If he is not to be held responsible for what he posts why is he permitted to use the forum?)


"The word ‘Allah’ is a compound word with the definite article ‘Al’ with ‘Ilah’ meaning ‘That God’. Regarding the meaning of ‘Ilah’ whether the word is taken from ‘Waleha’ or ‘Aleha’ meaning "Puzzling, referred to", the word has been used in both the senses, and its use for a deity is justified in either sense. Hence it is used for any object of worship to which man can submit or surrender or devote his sacrifices."[ 6 ]


Consulting Alfred Guilluame for further exploration into the meaning of Allah:

"The oldest name for God used in the Semitic word consists of but two letters, the consonant ‘l’ preceded by a smooth breathing, which was pronounced ‘Il’ in ancient Babylonia, ‘El’ in ancient Israel. The relation of this name, which in Babylonia and Assyria became a generic term simply meaning ‘god’, to the Arabian Ilah familiar to us in the form Allah, which is compounded of al, the definite article, and Ilah by eliding the vowel ‘i’, is not clear. Some scholars trace the name to the South Arabian Ilah, a title of the Moon god" [ 7 ]


Upon this understanding of Pre-Islamic pagan Mecca, the Identity of The Moon god should be explored.

Allah - Moon god of Mecca?


Those who hold firmly that the Qur’an is not the inspired word of God, and that Allah as mentioned in the Qur’an is nothing more than one of the pagan Idols worshipped in Pre-Islamic Arabia, (Allah specifically by the Quraysh tribe in Mecca) do so based on the Identity of this Idol in conjunction with Islamic rituals.

According to the ‘Moon god argument’, The Quraysh tribe regarded Allah as the Moon god, and was symbolised by the crescent star, which interestingly is the flag of Islam. The Quraysh believed that Allah married the sun goddess and bore 3 daughters:

Al-Lat, Al-‘Uzza, and Manat, interestingly the Qur’an mentions these names in Sura 53:19-20. Many translations are quoted for comparison:

"Have you seen Lat, and’Uzza, And another, the third (goddess), Manat?" [ 8 ]


"See ye then (the Idols) Lat and the Uzza? And Manat, the third (idol) besides?" [ 9 ]




"Have you then considered the Lat and the Uzza, And Manat, the third, the last?" [ 10 ]


"Have you then considered Al-Lat and Al-‘Uzza (two idols of the pagan Arabs) And Manat (another idol of the pagan Arabs), the other third?" [ 11 ]
