All of us, every single man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth were born with the same unalienable rights; to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And, if the governments of the world can't get that through their thick skulls, then, regime change will be necessary.

allah was an arab pagan deity. he was the moon-god who was married to the sun goddess and the stars were his daughters.
"muslims are notoriously loath to preserve traditions of earlier paganism and like to garble what pre-islamic history they permit to survive in anachronistic terms." - prof. coon
the three daughters, al-lat, al-uzza and manat were sometimes depicted together with allah the moon-god represented by a crescent moon above them.
"south arabia's religion has always been dominated by the moon-god in various variations." - segall
while arabs worshipped 360 gods at the kabah in mecca, the moon-god was the chief deity. mecca was in fact built as a shrine for the moon-god.
the temple of the moon-god was active in mohammad's day and was still the dominant cult. according to numerous inscriptions, while the name of the moon-god was sin, his title was al-ilah, i.e. "the deity," meaning that he was the chief or high god among the arab pagan gods.
"the god il or ilah was originally a phase of the Moon God." - prof. coon
the moon-god was called al-ilah, i.e. the god, which was shortened to allah in pre-islamic times. the pagan arabs even used allah in the names they gave to their children. for example, both mohammad's father and uncle had allah as part of their names.
"under mohammed's tutelage, the relatively anonymous ilah, became al-ilah, the god, or allah, the supreme being." - prof. coon
"why is allah never defined in the qur'an? why did mohammad assume that the pagan arabs already knew who allah was?" mohammad was raised in the religion of the moon-god allah. but he went one step further than his fellow pagan arabs. while they believed that allah, i.e. the moon-god, was the greatest of all gods and the supreme deity in a pantheon of deities, mohammad decided that allah was not only the greatest god but the only god.
in effect he said, "look, you already believe that the moon-god allah is the greatest of all gods. all i want you to do is to accept that the idea that he is the only god. i am not taking away the allah you already worship. I am only taking away his wife and his daughters and all the other gods." this is seen from the fact that the first point of the muslim creed is not, "allah is great" but "allah is the greatest," i.e., he is the greatest among the gods. why would mohammad say that allah is the "greatest" except in a polytheistic context? the arabic word is used to contrast the greater from the lesser. that this is true is seen from the fact that the pagan arabs never accused mohammad of preaching a different allah than the one they already worshipped.
is it any wonder then that the symbol of islam is the crescent moon? that a crescent moon sits on top of their mosques and minarets? that a crescent moon is found on the flags of islamic nations? that the muslims fast during the month which begins and ends with the appearance of the crescent moon in the sky?
the pagan arabs worshipped the moon-god allah by praying toward mecca several times a day; making a pilgrimage to mecca; running around the temple of the moon-god called the kabah; kissing the black stone; killing an animal in sacrifice to the moon-god; throwing stones at the devil; fasting for the month which begins and ends with the crescent moon; giving alms to the poor, etc.

Midnight Rider,
I see you're not happy.
Interesting how when you turn that minaret upside-down it rather resembles an a-hole. Probably a subconscious self-portrait by the "artist".
Good idea, MR.
You know, I have a mind to accidentally spill a bunch of syrup on a stack of Time Magazines at the check out counter.
Jeez, I hope I don't have an accident like that.
better postilion for the minaret!
thanks!
