ISLAM IS BASED ON A BIG LIE THAT DISHONORS THE TRUE ALMIGHTY GOD

Now Part 1:
Who Really Is 'Allah' The Supreme God Of The Makkans [Residents of
Ancient Mecca]
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS:
The Old Testament specifically denies the Muslim claim that the
pre-Islamic Ishmaelites knew and worshiped the true God (YHWH) of
Abraham. The data conclusively shows that as the timeline of the
centuries unfolded the Ishmaelites forsook the God of their ancestors
Abraham and Jacob, Yahweh or Jehovah (YHWH), for the worship of some
false god. The false god whom they worshiped as the true God was quite
possibly Baal. The data also shows that Hubal was the high god
worshiped at Mecca, which is supportted by the view that he was the
Allah of pre-Islamic times. He Allah or Hubal was the high god of the
Makkans [residents of ancient Mecca]; although, they had many other
gods and goddesses such as the daughter celestial goddesses of Allah
who was the old middle eastern Moon god.
A great wall supposedly built by Dhul-Qarnayn literally meaning "He of
the Two Horns", is a figure mentioned in the Qur'an, the sacred
scripture of Islam, where he is described as a great and righteous
ruler who built a long wall that keeps Gog and Magog from attacking
the people of the West. Moreover, he is regarded by some Muslims as a
prophet. The epithet was also familiar among the pre-Islamic Arabs
[pagans per the prophet], who applied it to at least three different
kings. Now this may seem strange to mention in the introduction, but
is important as it clearly shows that Muhammad adopted pagan myths
into the Quran as well as using Bible accounts as its framework.
Accounts to prove he adopted this pagan myth are sound at the Cave
chapter of the Quran at Sura 18:83-98 which will be dealt with
shortly.
SURA 18:83-98 [CAVE CHAPTER OF THE QURAN] AND THE DHUL-QARNAYN:
[18.83] And they ask you about Zulqarnain. Say: I will recite to you
an account of him.
[18.84] Surely We established him in the land and granted him means of
access to every thing.
[18.85] So he followed a course.
[18.86] Until when he reached the place where the sun set, he found it
going down into a black sea, and found by it a people. We said: O
Zulqarnain! either give them a chastisement or do them a benefit.
[18.87] He said: As to him who is injust, we will chastise him, then
shall he be returned to his Lord, and He will chastise him with an
exemplary chastisement: And as for him who believes and does good, he
shall have goodly reward, and We will speak to him an easy word of Our
command.
[18.89] Then he followed (another) course.
[18.90] Until when he reached the land of the rising of the sun, he
found it rising on a people to whom We had given no shelter from It;
[18.91] Even so! and We had a full knowledge of what he had.
[18.92] Then he followed (another) course.
[18.93] Until when he reached (a place) between the two mountains, he
found on that side of them a people who could hardly understand a
word.
[18.94] They said: O Zulqarnain! surely Gog and Magog make mischief in
the land. Shall we then pay you a tribute on condition that you should
raise a barrier between us and them
[18.95] He said: That in which my Lord has established me is better,
therefore you only help me with workers, I will make a fortified
barrier between you and them;
[18.96] Bring me blocks of iron; until when he had filled up the space
between the two mountain sides, he said: Blow, until when he had made
it (as) fire, he said: Bring me molten brass which I may pour over it.
[18.97] So they were not able to scale it nor could they make a hole in it.
[18.98] He said: This is a mercy from my Lord, but when the promise of
my Lord comes to pass He will make it level with the ground, and the
promise of my Lord is ever true.

Dhul-Qarnayn in the Qur'an.
Main article: Alexander in the Qur'an (Theory)
The story of Dhul-Qarnayn as described in the Qur'an follows very
closely some passages of the Alexander Romance, a thoroughly
embellished compilation of Alexander the Great's exploits from
Hellenistic and early Christian sources which underwent numerous
expansions and revisions throughout Antiquity and the Middle Ages. The
Alexander Romance was enormously popular in the Hellenistic world,
including Jewish communities, among which Alexander had practically
gained the status of a folk hero[3]. Some adaptations containing all
the elements of the Qur'anic account can be found in early Hellenistic
documents, such as the Armenian recension of the Alexander Romance.
Actually the main elements of the story (an iron gate constructed by
Alexander blocking the passage of Scythian tribes; identification of
said Scythians with Gog and Magog) can already be found in
Josephus[4][5] and in Saint Jerome, although in fragmented occurrences
(see Alexander in the Qur'an for details).
[1]For these reason the widely accepted view is that the (indirect)
model for Dhul Qarnayn is Alexander the Great. The majority of
medieval Muslim scholars were happy to identify Dhul-Qarnayn as
Alexander. However, some Muslim scholars have asserted that the
medieval scholars were mistaken and that Dhul-Qarnayn cannot be
Alexander.
[2]Cyrus the Great as Dhul Qarnain
Main article: Cyrus the Great in the Qur'an (theory)
Some contemporary Muslim scholars, such as Maududi and Maulana Abul
Kalam Azad, have suggested that Dhul-Qarnayn is Cyrus the Great. This
theory has been endorsed by Iranian scholars Allameh Tabatabaei [in
his Tafsir al-Mizan) and Grand Ayatollah Makarim al-Shirazi
(Bargozideh Tafseer-i Nemuneh, Vol 3, p69].
[3]The archaic Dhul-Qarnayn
Some early Islamic commentators stipulated that Dhul-Qarnayn must have
been a contemporary of Abraham. Others postulated an Alexander who
lived 2000 years before Alexander the Great.
[4]The Arab Dhul-Qarnayn
Two early Arabian kings were known as Dhul-Qarnayn: the northern
Arabian king Al-Mundhir al-Akbar ibn Ma' as-Sama' (so called for his
two curled locks), and the early South Arabian king Tubba' al-Aqran.
South Arabian interpreters of the Qur'an argue that the Qur'anic
Dhul-Qarnayn was their king Tubba'. Other supporters of the Yemeni
Dhul-Qarnayn theory included (the Persian) Biruni in his Athar
al-baqiyah, Asma'i in his Tarikh al-Arab ("History of Arab"), and
Sirah of Ibn Hisham, among others.
Others have suggested that Dhul-Qarnayn could be the Egyptian pharoah
Narmer , who unified northern and southern Egypt. Among supporters of
the Arab Dhul-Qarnayn theory were Mughrizi in his book al-Khutat, and
Allama Sayyed Habeddin al-Shahrestani.
[5]The angelic Dhul-Qarnayn
There are scattered references in which Ali ibn Abi Talib gives the
epithet Dhul-Qarnayn. Since Dhul-Qarnayn was a righteous ruler, this
may simply be a way of praising by Ali. Mughrizi also quotes Mukhtar
ibn Abi Ubayd as saying that Ali always referred to Dhul-Qarnayn as
"an angel without wings". The 8th century scholar Al-Jahiz, in his
(???????), also writes of Dhul-Qarnayn being born to a human mother
and angelic father.[source - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia]
Of course this is the same kind of story/legend as that where the
Quran took the old middle eastern Moon god, 'Allah,' and tried to
blend him, a puppet celestial god of Satan, into the true God (YHWH)
of Abraham; to wit, from epithets that were familiar among the
pre-Islamic Arabs. Let's look at some facts from history and
archaeology on this fact.
It should not come as a surprise that the word "Allah" was not
something invented by Muhammad or revealed for the first time in the
Quran.
The well-known Middle East scholar H.A.R. Gibb has pointed out that
the reason that Muhammad never had to explain who Allah was in the
Quran is that his listeners had already heard about Allah long before
Muhammad was ever born [source - Mohammedanism: An Historical Survey,
New York: Mentor Books, 1955, p.38].
One Muslim I have corresponded with said the following:
<<"You did not see what point I have written in my last post, allow me
to explain in a better way. Dhul-Qarnayn may have a meaning but in the
Quran it is given as he is a sort of a king or a leader. If you
understood what I have said, I have said that the"wall" of
Dhul-Qarnayn. We are not talking about names and where it's origin is
from, we are talking about the Quran being the truth. If you do not
see this then go get more information as we all say; we never stop
learning.
ALLAH AS THE SUPREME GOD OF THE ANCINET PAGAN MAKKANS (RESIDENTS OF MECCA):
This section opens with a statement by a learned Muslim testifying to
the fact that Allah was the supreme god of the ancient pagan Makkans
(Residents of Mecca).
<<"The thing you said that about the Makkans knowing about Allah
before Muhammed(S.A.W) is true. From prophet Ibrahim and Ismail to
(S.A.W), Allah was was brought as the true God. The Makkans knew that
Allah was a god, but they said that He was the supreme god from all
the others, they would say that He was beyond the universe so they
needed other small gods to transmit their prayers to Him. The Makkans
were not angry at Allah but if you have searched the facts and so,
they despised Muhammed(S.A.W), because they said that he was spreading
the menace and dishonoring their gods. They did not say anything about
Allah(S.T), for He was their supreme god and dishonoring it would
bring badness over them. So we see that the other prophets before
Muhammed(S.A.W) brought the information that Allah was the only true
God but then, like every prophet, they listened then betrayed the
prophets for their ignorance and changed it like they did to the
bible, but the true religion will never fall(Islam). The prophet
Muhammed(S.A.W) which had enemies but with the truth in his hands he
succeeded on giving all the world the truth to save them from the hell
fire, but still a lot of people do not except this as their arrogance
is blinding them. You see now that the truth was given to the world,
each one of the nations, but they disobeyed it and got punished for it
as they didn't pass the test. Prophet Muhammed(S.A.W) brought
them(Makkans) a book, he told them to worship only one god, he didn't
tell them of how this god looked like and so on. This was a test for
them to beleive in the truth as the shaitan will make it look as it is
not the truth and everyone knew it that beleiving in something that is
in the open, simple, and very understandable and not seeing of how
their god looks like would be a challange but would also be rewarded
greatly in the here after. Islam is the truth as
they(Makkans/disbeleivers) knew that life is a test than you(an
educated person) should know better.[source - a Muslim of learning]">>
So now we have established the fact that Allah was the supreme god of
the ancient Makkans. Let's look at some of the facts related to the
ancient pagan Makkans and their supreme pagan god Allah.
First the basic premise of this writer is false; to wit,
<<"We are not talking about names and where it's origin is from, we
are talking about the Quran being the truth. If you do not see this
then go get more information as we all say; we never stop learning.">>
Second his admittance that with respect the old middle eastern Moon
god, 'Allah,' actually being the supreme god of the none worshippers
of the true God (YHWH) of Abraham, the Makkans:
<<"The thing you said that about the Makkans knowing about Allah
before Muhammed(S.A.W) is true. From prophet Ibrahim and Ismail to
(S.A.W), Allah was was brought as the true God. The Makkans knew that
Allah was a god, but they said that He was the supreme god from all
the others, they would say that He was beyond the universe so they
needed other small gods to transmit their prayers to Him.">>
Dr. Arthur Jeffery, one of the foremost Western Islamic scholars in
modern times and professor of Islamic and Middle East Studies at
Columbia University, notes:
<<"The name Allah, as the Quran itself is witness, was well known in
pre-Islamic Arabia. Indeed, both it and its feminine form, Allat, are
found not infrequently among the theophorous names in inscriptions
from North Africa">> [Islam: Muhammad, and His Religion, New York: The
Liberal Arts Press, 1958, p. 85].
The Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics, states, <<"The origin of this
(Allah) goes back to pre-Muslim times. Allah is not a common name
meaning "God" (or a "god"), and the Muslim must use another word or
form if he wishes to indicate any other than his own peculiar deity">>
[Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics, I:326, Hastings].
The Encyclopedia of World Mythology and Legend, states, <<"The name
Allah goes back before Muhammad">> [source - Encyclopedia of World
Mythology and Legend, I:41, Anthony Mercatante, New York, The Facts on
File, 1983].
And, <<"The word "Allah" comes from the compound Arabic word, al-ilah.
Al is the definite article "the" and ilah is an Arabic word for "god."
It is not a foreign word. It is not even the Syriac word for God. It
is pure Arabic.">> [There is an interesting discussion of the origins
of Allah, in "Arabic Lexicographical Miscellanies" by J. Blau in the
Journal of Semitic Studies, Vol. XVII, #2, 1972, pp. 173-190].
And, Neither is Allah a Hebrew or Greek word for God as found in the
Bible. Allah is a purely Arabic term used in reference to an Arabian
deity.
Hastings' Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics I:326, T & T Clark, states:
<<"Allah" is a proper name, applicable only to their [Arabs'] peculiar God.">>'
[source - Hastings' Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics I:326].
According to the Encyclopedia of Religion:
And, <<"Allah" is a pre-Islamic name . . . corresponding to the
Babylonian Bel">> [source - Encyclopedia of Religion, I:117 Washington
DC, Corpus Pub., 1979].
The Encyclopedia Britannica adds, <<"Allah is found . . . in Arabic
inscriptions prior to Islam">> [Encyclopedia Britannica, I:643].
The Encyclopedia of Islam is in agreement and say, <<"The Arabs,
before the time of Mohammed, accepted and worshipped, after a fashion,
a supreme god called Allah">> [Encyclopedia off Islam, I:302, Leiden:
E.J. Brill, 1913, Houtsma].
This same encyclopedia went on to say, <<"Allah was known to the
pre-Islamic . . . Arabs; he was one of the Meccan deities">>
[Encyclopedia off Islam, I:406, ed. Gibb].
And pre-Islamic poetry attest to this fact, <<"Ilah . . . appears in
pre-Islamic poetry . . . By frequency of usage, al-ilah was contracted
to Allah, frequently attested to in pre-Islamic poetry">>
[Encyclopedia off Islam, III:1093, 1971].
And Dr. Kenneth Cragg, former editor of the very prestigious scholarly
journal Muslim World and an outstanding modern Western Islamic
scholar, whose works are generally published by Oxford University,
comments:
<<"The name Allah is also evident in archeological and literary
remains of pre-Islamic Arabia">> [The Call of the Minaret, New York:
Oxford University Press, 1956, p. 31].
And the Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia on 02/28/2006), states, <<"
Theories on the identity of Dhul-Qarnayn
According to Tafsir Ibn Kathir, a widely used 14th-century commentary
on the Qur'an:
"The Quraysh sent An-Nadr bin Al-Harith and `Uqbah bin Abi Mu`it to
the Jewish rabbis in Al-Madinah, and told them: `Ask them (the rabbis)
about Muhammad, and describe him to them, and tell them what he is
saying. They are the people of the first Book, and they have more
knowledge of the Prophets than we do.' So they set out and when they
reached Al-Madinah, they asked the Jewish rabbis about the Messenger
of Allah. They described him to them and told them some of what he had
said. They said, `You are the people of the Tawrah and we have come to
you so that you can tell us about this companion of ours.' They (the
rabbis) said, `Ask him about three things which we will tell you to
ask, and if he answers them then he is a Prophet who has been sent (by
Allah); if he does not, then he is saying things that are not true, in
which case how you will deal with him will be up to you. Ask him about
some young men in ancient times, what was their story For theirs is a
strange and wondrous tale. Ask him about a man who travelled a great
deal and reached the east and the west of the earth. What was his
story And ask him about the Ruh (soul or spirit) -- what is it If he
tells you about these things, then he is a Prophet, so follow him, but
if he does not tell you, then he is a man who is making things up, so
deal with him as you see fit.[1]
According to Maududi's conservative 20th-century commentary:
"This Surah was sent down in answer to the three questions which the
mushriks of Makkah, in consultation with the people of the Book, had
put to the Holy Prophet in order to test him. These were: (1) Who were
"the Sleepers of the Cave"? (2) What is the real story of Khidr? and
(3) What do you know about Zul-Qarnain? As these three questions and
the stories involved concerned the history of the Christians and the
Jews, and were unknown in Hijaz, a choice of these was made to test
whether the Holy Prophet possessed any source of the knowledge of the
hidden and unseen things. Allah, however, not only gave a complete
answer to their questions but also employed the three stories to the
disadvantage of the opponents of Islam in the conflict that was going
on at that time at Makkah between Islam and un-belief.">> [source -
the Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia on 02/28/2006]
ACCEPTANCE BY MUHAMMAD OF THE MAKKAH'S SUPREME GOD DID NOT MEAN PEACE
WITH THE MAKKAH.
Let's consider the Attack by the Makkans against Muhammad by an
impeccable Muslim source.
"The Prophet, after arriving in Madinah, first formed an alliance with
the Jews. Next, he approached all the nearby tribes and tried to
persuade them to make an alliance or at least enter into a no-war
pact. Many did. Thus the small group evicted from Makkah assumed
strategic importance.
The Makkans who had earlier planned to kill the Prophet, were now
determined to annihilate this nascent community of Islam. Having
failed in all other ways they decided on a military solution...
As soon as the Hudaybiyah Treaty was signed, the Prophet sent letters
to various neighbouring Arab and non-Arab rulers, including Chosroes
of Iran and Heraclitus of the Byzantine Empire. He invited them to
Islam, and assured them that he did not covet their kingdoms or
riches. They could retain both, but only if they surrendered
themselves to serve and worship the One God.
The Quraysh, however, soon broke the Treaty of Hudaybiyah. It was,
thus, time to deal with their continuing hostility. The Prophet
marched to Makkah, and captured the town. The fall of Makkah witnessed
unparalleled acts of mercy forgiveness and generosity. Not a single
drop of blood was shed. Everybody who remained indoors was granted
security of life and property. The Prophet forgave all who had been
his bitterest foes all his life, who had persecuted him and planned to
kill him, who had driven him out of Makkah, and who had marched thrice
to Madinah to defeat the Muslims.

Also, <<"It had become impossible for the Prophet (peace be upon him)
to preach and for the ummah to live securely in Makkah.">> [source -
Ministry of Hajj Kingdom of Asudi Arabia]
And, <<"Tawheed al-'Ebaadah (Maintaining The Unity of Worship)
In spite of the wide implications of the first two categories of
Tawheed, firm belief in them alone is not sufficient to fulfill the
Islamic requirements of Tawheed. Tawheed ar-Ruboobeeyah and Tawheed
al-Asmaa was-Sifaat must be accompanied by their complement, Tawheed
al-'Ebaadah, in order for Tawheed to be considered complete according
to Islaam. This point is substantiated by the fact that Allaah Himself
has related in clear terms that the Mushrikoon (idolators) of the
Prophet's time confirmed many aspects of the first two forms of
Tawheed. In the Qur'aan Allaah tells the Prophet (saws) to say to the
pagans:
"Say: 'Who is it that gives you all sustenance from the sky and earth,
governs sight and hearing, brings forth life from dead (matter) and
death from the living, and plans the affairs of man?' They will all
say 'Allaah'."35
"If you asked them who created them, they would surely say, 'Allaah' "36
"If you asked them who brings down water from the sky and with it
brings the earth to life after its death? They will most certainly
say, 'Allaah'."37
The pagan Makkans all knew that Allaah was their creator, sustainer,
their Lord and Master yet that knowledge did not make them Muslims
according to God. In fact,">>[source - USC - MSA Compendium of Muslim

WHAT GOD REALLY IS THE MOON GOD ALLAH?
Let's look at the facts from renown historical writings:
"Namely that "Allah" is synonymous with the god Hubal of the pagan
Makkans! ... Generally, objects of worship belonged to three genres:
metal and wooden" [source - Bismika Alllahuma » Hubal In The Worship
of Pre-Islamic Arab ].
And, "At the time of Muhammad, the Ka'abah was OFFICIALLY DEDICATED to
the god Hubal, a deity who had been imported into Arabia from the
Nabateans in what is now Jordan. But the pre-eminence of the shrine as
well as the common belief in Mecca seems to suggest that it may have
been dedicated originally to al-Llah, the High God of the Arabs ..."
[Karen Armstrong, Muhammad: A Biography of the Prophet [Harper San
Francisco; ISBN: 0062508865; Reprint edition, October 1993], pp.
61-62;]
And, "Pre-Islamic Arabia also had its stone deities. They were stone
statues of shapeless volcanic or meteoric stones found in the deserts
and believed to have been sent by astral deities. The most prominent
deities were Hubal, the male god of the Ka'ba, and the three sister
goddesses al-Lat, al-Manat, and al-Uzza; Muhammad's tribe, the
Quraysh, thought these three goddesses to be the daughters of Allah.
Hubal was the chief god of the Ka'ba among 360 other deities. He was a
man-like statue whose body was made of red precious stone and whose
arms were of solid gold. (George W. Braswell, Jr., Islam Its Prophets,
Peoples, Politics and Power" [Broadman & Holman Publishers, Nashville,
TN; July, 1996], p. 44]
And, "The name Allah was used as the personal name of the moon god, in
addition to other titles that could be given to him.
Allah, the moon god, was married to the sun goddess. Together they
produced three goddesses who were called "the daughters of Allah."
These three goddesses were called Al-Lat, Al-Uzza, and Manat.
The daughters of Allah, along with Allah and the sun goddess were
viewed as 'high" gods. That is, they were viewed as being at the top
of the pantheon of Arabian deities.
Along with Allah, however, they worshipped a host of lesser gods and
"daughters of Al-lah'" [Encyclopedia of World Mythology and Legend,
I:61]".
These female puppet celestial goddess, Al-Lat, Al-Uzza, and Manat,
"These were also called 'the Daughters of Allah' and were supposed to
intercede before God. When the Apostle of God was sent, God revealed
unto him [concerning them] the following:" [source - Al-Tabari, Jami'
al-Bay'dn fi Tafsir al-Qur'an, Cairo, 1323-1330, vol. xxvii, pp.34-36.
Also F. V. Winnett, "The Daughters of Allah," in The Moslem World,
vol. xxx (1940), pp. 113-130.]
And, "In Arabia, the sun god was viewed as a female goddess and the
moon as the male god. As has been pointed out by many scholars such as
Alfred Guilluame, the moon god was called by various names, one of
which was Allah! [Islam: Muhammad, and His Religion, New York: The
Liberal Arts Press, 1958,, p. 7].
And, "The word "Allah" comes from the compound Arabic word, al-ilah.
Al is the definite article "the" and ilah is an Arabic word for "god."
It is not a foreign word. It is not even the Syriac word for God. It
is pure Arabic." [source - Arabic Lexicographical Miscellanies" by J.
Blau in the Journal of Semitic Studies, Vol. XVII, #2, 1972, pp.
173-190].
Allah was also known as Hubel, ""Among the gods worshiped by the
Quraysh, the greatest was Hubal
...
Some additional details on this cleromantic deity, the most powerful
of the pagan idols of Mecca, is supplied by the Meccan historian
Azraqi ...
Amr ibn Luhayy brought with him (to Mecca) an idol called Hubal from
the land of Hit in Mesopotamia. Hubal was one of the Quraysh's
greatest idols so he set it up at the well inside the Kab'a and
ordered the people to worship it. Thus a man coming back from a
journey would visit it and circumambulate the House before going to
his family, and would shave his hair before it ... "[Peters, Hajj: The
Muslim Pilgrimage to Mecca and the Holy Places [Princeton University
Press, NJ, 1994], pp. 24-25]
And, ""Khuza 'ah thus shared the guilt of Jurhum. They were also to
blame in other respects: a chieftain of theirs, on his way back from a
journey to SYRIA, had asked the MOABITES to give him ONE OF THEIR
IDOLS. They gave him HUBAL, which he brought back to the Sanctuary,
setting it up within the Ka'bah itself; and it became THE CHIEF IDOL
OF MECCA." [Muhammad: His Life Based on the Earliest Sources, Inner
Traditions International, LTD. One Park Street, Rochestor Vermont
05767, 1983, p. 5].
And this Hubel or Allah the Moon god is indicated to be known by
others as the Biblically condemned god, 'Baal.' Commenting on 'Abd
al-Muttalib's rediscovery of the well of Zamzam and its treasures,
Lings writes:
"... So 'Abd al-Muttalib continued to dig without any actual move
being made to stop him; and some of the people were already leaving
the sanctuary when suddenly he struck the well's stone covering and
uttered a cry of thanksgiving to God. The crowd reassembled and
increased; and when he began to dig out the treasure which Jurhum had
buried there, everyone claimed the right to share in it. 'Abd
al-Muttalib agreed that lots should be cast for each object, as to
whether it should be kept in the sanctuary or go to him personally or
be divided amongst the tribe. This had become the recognised way of
deciding an issue of doubt, and it was done by means of divining
arrows inside the Ka'bah, in front of THE MOABITE IDOL HUBAL ..."
(Lings, p. 11; bold and capital emphasis ours)
'Amr then asked them to give him an idol he could take to Arab lands
where it could be worshipped, and they gave him one named Hubal. This
he brought to Mecca and set on a pedestal and ordered the people to
worship and venerate it. (The Life of the Prophet Muhammad (Al-Sira
al-Nabawiyya), Volume I, translated by professor Trevor Le Gassick,
reviewed by Dr. Ahmed Fareed" [Garnet Publishing Limited, 8 Southern
Court, south Street Reading RG1 4QS, UK; The Center for Muslim
Contribution to Civilization, 1998], p. 42]
Interestingly, Ibn Kathir shows that the god of Muhammad's family was
Hubal, and that his grandfather even prayed to Allah by facing Hubal's
idol! Ibn Ishaq stated, "It is claimed that when 'Abd al-Mutallib
received such opposition from Quraysh over the digging of zamzam, he
vowed that if ten sons were born to him who grew up and protected him,
he would sacrifice one of them for God at the ka'ba."
"Eventually he had ten sons grown up whom he knew would give him
protection. Their names were al-Harith, al-Zubayr, Hajl, Dirar,
al-Muqawwim, Abu Lahab, al-'Abbas, Hamza, Abu Talib, and 'Abd Allah.
He assembled them and told them of his vow and asked them to honour
his pledge to God, Almighty and All-glorious is He. They obeyed, and
asked him what he wanted them to do. He asked each of them to take an
arrow, write his name on it and return to him.
"They did so and went with them inside the ka'ba to the site of their
god Hubal, where there was the well in which offerings to the ka'ba
would be placed. There, near Hubal, were seven arrows which they would
use for divining a judgement over some matter of consequence, a
question of blood-money, kinship, or the like. They would come to
Hubal to seek a resolution, accepting whatever they were ordered to do
or to refrain from." [source - The Life of the Prophet Muhammad
(Al-Sira al-Nabawiyya), Volume I, translated by professor Trevor Le
Gassick, reviewed by Dr. Ahmed Fareed [Garnet Publishing Limited, 8
Southern Court, south Street Reading RG1 4QS, UK; The Center for
Muslim Contribution to Civilization, 1998 , pp. 126-127].
"Allah (allah, al-ilah, the god) was the principal, though not the
only, deity of Makkah. The name is an ancient one. It occurs in two
South Arabic inscriptions, one a Minean found at al-'Ula and the other
Sabean, but abounds in the form HLH in the Lihyanite inscriptions of
the fifth century B.C. Lihyan, which evidently got the god from Syria,
was the first center of the worship of this deity in Arabia. The name
occurs as Hallah in the Safa inscriptions five centuries before Islam
and also in a pre-Islamic Christian Arabic inscription found in
umm-al-Jimal, Syria, and ascribed to the sixth century. The name of
Muhammad's father was 'Abd-Allah ('Abdullah, the slave or worshiper of
Allah). The esteem in which Allah was held by the pre-Islamic Makkans
as the creator and supreme provider and the one to be invoked in time
of special peril may be inferred from such koranic passages as 31:24,
31; 6:137, 109; 10:23. Evidently he was the tribal deity of the
Quraysh." [Palgrave Macmillan, 2002; ISBN: 0-333-63142-0 paperback],
pp. 100-101].
And, "Ibn Kathir noted that Muhammad's family worshiped Hubal, with
the Oxford Dictionary of Islam stating that Hubal was the Quraysh's
patron deity. If Hitti is correct regarding Allah being the Quraysh's'
tribal deity then this provides additional proof that Allah was a name
for Hubal. Note the following syllogism:
1. Hubal was the chief deity of the Quraysh.
2. Allah was the chief deity of the Quraysh.
3. Therefore, Hubal was Allah in pre-Islamic times.
There is another indirect piece of evidence which links Allah to Baal.
Writer, Franz Rosenthal, while commenting on the mass confusion which
surrounded the Muslims regarding the precise meaning of as-samad (Cf.
112:2), posits a possible origin for the word. He says:
... There is enough room for suspicion to permit us having a look at
some outside evidence.
See Part 2 of GREATEST LIE TOLD BY ISLAM:

**Admin** Wed Dec 31, 2014 11:12 am

Part 2 of GREATEST LIE TOLD BY ISLAM:

There, we encounter a noteworthy phenomenon: the not infrequent
religious connotation of the root smd.
In Ugaritic, smd appears as a stick or club that is wielded by Ba'l.
In the Kilammu inscription, line 15, we find b'l smd, apparently, b'l
as the owner of his divine club. In the Bible, the adherence of the
Israelites to Baal of Peor is expressed by the nip'al of the root smd.
The verb is translated by the Septuagint heteleuse (Numeri 25:3, 5;
Ps. 106:28). The use of the verb doubtlessly reflects North Canaanite
religious terminology.
From Arabic sources, we learn that an idol of 'Ad was allegedly called
samud, which brings us rather close to the environment of Muhammad
...
In view of this material, the suggestion may be made that as-samad in
the Qur'an is a survival of an ancient Northwest Semitic religious
term, which may no longer have been understood by Muhammad himself,
nor by the old poets (if the sawahid should be genuine). This
suggestion would well account for the presence of the article with the
word in the Qur'an, and it would especially well account for the
hesitation of the commentators vis-a-vis so prominent a passage. Such
hesitation is what we would expect if we are dealing with a pagan
survival from the early period of the revelation." [What the Koran
Really Says: Language, Text, & Commentary, "Some Minor Problems in the
Qur'an", edited with translation by Ibn Warraq {Prometheus Books,
October, 2002, Hardcover; ISBN: 157392945X}, part 5.2, pp. 336-337]
Let's face it the proper name 'Allah' was much in use in pre-Islamic
times and applied to pagan deities, now it is shown that 'Allah' is
indicated to be the same as the pagan deity condemned by the Bible,
'Baal.'
"Allah, the paramount deity of pagan Arabia, was the target of worhip
in varying degrees of intensity from the southernmost tip of Arabia to
the Mediterranean. To the Babylonians he was "Il" (god); to the
Canaanites, and later the Israelites, he was "El"; the South Arabians
worshiped him as "Ilah," and the Bedouins as "al-Ilah" (the deity).
With Muhammad he becomes Allah, God of the Worlds, of all believers,
the one and only who admits of no associates or consorts in the
worship of Him. Judaic and Christian concepts of God abetted the
transformation of Allah from a pagan deity to the God of all
monotheists. There is no reason, therefore, to accept the idea that
"Allah" passed to the Muslims from Christians and Jews." [Caesar E.
Farah, Ph.D., Islam {Barron's Educational Series, 2000, sixth edition
paperback} p. 28]
CONCLUSION:
Clearly Islam owes term 'Allah' to the pagan/heathen Arabs. "We have
evidence that it entered into numerous personal names in Northern
Arabia and among the Nabatians. It occurs among the Arabs of later
times, in theophorus names and on its own. Wellhausen also cites
pre-Islamic literature where Allah is mentioned as a great deity. We
also have the testimony of the Koran itself where He is recognized as
a giver of rain, a creator, and so on; the Meccans only crime was to
worship other gods beside Him. Eventually, Allah was only applied to
the Supreme Deity. "In any case it is an extremely important fact that
Muhammad did not find it necessary to introduce an altogether novel
deity, but contented himself with ridding the heathen Allah of his
companions subjecting him to a kind of dogmatic purification ... Had
he not been accustomed from his youth to the idea of Allah as the
Supreme God, in particular of Mecca, it may well be doubted whether he
would ever have come forward as the preacher of Monotheism." [Ibn
Warraq, Why I Am Not A Muslim {Prometheus Books, Amherst NY, 1995},
pp. 39-40, 42]
Ibn Warraq continues on, "Interesting is the name HUBAL (in Arabic and
Hebrew script the vowels were not noted). This shows a very suspicious
connection to the Hebrew HABAAL the Baal). As we all know this was
an idol mentioned in the Bible (Num. 25:3, Hosea 9:10, Deut. 4:3,
Josh. 22:17 and Ps. 106:28-29). Where was Baal worshipped? In Moab! It
was the "god of fertility". Amr ibn Luhaiy brought Hubal from Moab to
Arabia.
The name 'Allah' (from 'al-Ilah' - the god or 'al-Liah' = the one
worshipped) was well used in pre-Islamic times. It was rather a title
than a name and, was used for a diversity of deities. As we shall see
later, an idol called Hubal was addressed as Allah. Muhammad's
grandfather reportedly prayed to Hubal and addressed him as Allah. The
deities al-Lat, al-Uzza and Manat were called "the daughters of Allah"
(Surah 53:19). "Allah was viewed, already before Muhammad, as the Lord
of the Ka'ba, while, if not surely, but very probably, this sanctuary
was devoted to Hubal, whose image was placed inside" (RESTE ARABISCHEN
HEIDENTHUMS, p. 221 by J. Wellhausen). "While the rituals performed
are still addressed to the respective deities, Allah is seen as the
creator, the father and with that the superior Lord. But he is viewed
to be too general, neutral and impersonal a Lord" [Ibn Warraq, Why I
Am Not A Muslim {Prometheus Books, Amherst NY, 1995}, p. 219].
Therefore, "But the vague notion of Supreme (NOT SOLE) divinity which
Allah seems to have connoted in Meccan religion was to BECOME both
universal and transcendental; it was to be turned by the Kur'anic
preaching, into the affirmation of the living God, the Exalted One."
[Encyclopedia of Islam, 1960, p. 406; capital emphasis ours].
Part 2, The Facts on Allah:
The Fact on The Name "Allah"
It should not come as a surprise that the word "Allah" was not
something invented by Muhammad or revealed for the first time in the
Quran.
The well-known Middle East scholar H.A.R. Gibb has pointed out that
the reason that Muhammad never had to explain who Allah was in the
Quran is that his listeners had already heard about Allah long before
Muhammad was ever born [Mohammedanism: An Historical Survey, New York:
Mentor Books, 1955, p.38]
Dr. Arthur Jeffery, one of the foremost Western Islamic scholars in
modern times and professor of Islamic and Middle East Studies at
Columbia University, notes:
"The name Allah, as the Quran itself is witness, was well known in
pre-Islamic Arabia. Indeed, both it and its feminine form, Allat, are
found not infrequently among the theophorous names in inscriptions
from North Africa" [Islam: Muhammad, and His Religion, New York: The
Liberal Arts Press, 1958, p. 85]
The word "Allah" comes from the compound Arabic word, al-ilah. Al is
the definite article "the" and ilah is an Arabic word for "god." It is
not a foreign word. It is not even the Syriac word for God. It is pure
Arabic. (There is an interesting discussion of the origins of Allah,
in "Arabic Lexicographical Miscellanies" by J. Blau in the Journal of
Semitic Studies, Vol. XVII, #2, 1972, pp. 173-190)[source - Arabic
Lexicographical Miscellanies by J. Blau in the Journal of Semitic
Studies, Vol. XVII, #2, 1972, pages 173-190]
Neither is Allah a Hebrew or Greek word for God as found in the Bible.
Allah is a purely Arabic term used in reference to an Arabian deity.
Hastings' Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics I:326, T & T Clark,
states:
'"Allah" is a proper name, applicable only to their [Arabs'] peculiar God. '
According to the Encyclopedia of Religion:
'"Allah" is a pre-Islamic name . . . corresponding to the Babylonian
Bel' [Encyclopedia of Religion, I:117 Washington DC, Corpus Pub.,
1979]
For those who find it hard to believe that Allah was a pagan name for
a peculiar pagan Arabian deity in pre-Islamic times, the following
quotations may be helpful:
"Allah is found . . . in Arabic inscriptions prior to Islam"
[Encyclopedia Britannica, I:643]
"The Arabs, before the time of Mohammed, accepted and worshipped,
after a fashion, a supreme god called Allah" [Encyclopedia off Islam,
I:302, Leiden: E.J. Brill, 1913, Houtsma]
"Allah was known to the pre-Islamic . . . Arabs; he was one of the
Meccan deities" [Enyclopedia of Islam, I:406, ed. Gibb]
"Ilah . . . appears in pre-Islamic poetry . . . By frequency of usage,
al-ilah was contracted to Allah, frequently attested to in pre-Islamic
poetry" [Encyclopedia of Islam, III:1093, 1971]
"The name Allah goes back before Muhammad" [Encyclopedia of World
Mythology and Legend, I:41, Anthony Mercatante, New York, The Facts on
File, 1983]
"The origin of this (Allah) goes back to pre-Muslim times. Allah is
not a common name meaning "God" (or a "god"), and the Muslim must use
another word or form if he wishes to indicate any other than his own
peculiar deity" [Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics, I:326, Hastings]
To the testimony of the above standard reference works, we add those
of such scholars as Henry Preserved Smith of Harvard University who
has stated:
"Allah was already known by name to the Arabs" [The Bible and Islam:
or, The Influence of the Old and New Testament on the Religion of
Mohammed, New York, Charles Scribner's Sons, 1897, p. 102].
Dr. Kenneth Cragg, former editor of the prestigious scholarly journal
Muslim World and an outstanding modern Western Islamic scholar, whose
works are generally published by Oxford University, comments:
"The name Allah is also evident in archeological and literary remains
of pre-Islamic Arabia" [The Call of the Minaret, New York: Oxford
University Press, 1956, p. 31].
Dr. W. Montgomery Watt, who was Professor of Arabic and Islamic
Studies at Edinburgh University and Visiting Professor of Islamic
studies at College de France, Georgetown University, and the
University of Toronto, has done extensive work on the pre-Islamic
concept of Allah. He concludes:
"In recent years I have become increasingly convinced that for an
adequate understanding of the career of Muhammad and the origins of
Islam great importance must be attached to the existence in Mecca of
belief in Allah as a "high god." In a sense this is a form of
paganism, but it is so different from paganism as commonly understood
that it deserves separate treatment" [William Montgomery Watt,
Muhammad's Mecca, p. vii. Also see his article, "Belief in a High God
in Pre-Islamic Mecca", Journal of Semitic Studies, Vol. 16, 1971, pp.
35-40]
Caesar Farah in his book on Islam concludes his discussion of the
pre-Islamic meaning of Allah by saying:
"There is no reason, therefore, to accept the idea that Allah passed
to the Muslims from the Christians and Jews" [Islam: Beliefs and
Observations, New York, Barrons, 1987, p. 28].
According to Middle East scholar E.M. Wherry, whose translation of the
Quran is still used today, in pre-Islamic times Allah-worship, as well
as the worship of Ba-al, were both astral religions in that they
involved the worship of the sun, the moon, and the stars [A
Comprehensive Commentary on the Quran, Osnabruck: Otto Zeller Verlag,
1973, p. 36].
Also, I have shown 'Allah' is a proper name for the Moon god, and the
title for any god in Arabic is 'Ilah.' The title god in Arabic is
'Ilah,' and not Allah. 'Ilah' is a title; whereas, Allah is a proper
name of a specific 'Ilah,' so get a dose of reality. Also, several New
Testament Bibles in Arabic the title ' Ar-Rab' means "The Lord" is
used.
APPENDIX:
[1]Interestingly, here are the meanings of several important words in Arabic:
Jesus in Arabic is Yesua
Word in Arabic is Kalam
Spirit in Arabic is Ruh
God in Arabic is Ilah
The in Arabic is El
[2] Astral Religions
In Arabia, the sun god was viewed as a female goddess and the moon as
the male god. As has been pointed out by many scholars such as Alfred
Guilluame, the moon god was called by various names, one of which was
Allah! (Islam, p. 7).
The name Allah was used as the personal name of the moon god, in
addition to other titles that could be given to him.
Allah, the moon god, was married to the sun goddess. Together they
produced three goddesses who were called "the daughters of Allah."
These three goddesses were called Al-Lat, Al-Uzza, and Manat.
The daughters of Allah, along with Allah and the sun goddess were
viewed as "high" gods. That is, they were viewed as being at the top
of the pantheon of Arabian deities.
"Along with Allah, however, they worshipped a host of lesser gods and
"daughters of Al-lah" [SOURCE - Encyclopedia of World Mythology and
Legend, I:61].
[3] The old middle eastern Moon god who has gone by many names is
still well venerated. This is shown by "The Archeology of The Middle
East" which states, "The religion of Islam has as its focus of worship
a deity by the name of "Allah." The Muslims claim that Allah in
pre-Islamic times was the biblical God of the Patriarchs, prophets,
and apostles. The issue is thus one of continuity. Was "Allah" the
biblical God or a pagan god in Arabia during pre-Islamic times? The
Muslim's claim of continuity is essential to their attempt to convert
Jews and Christians for if "Allah" is part of the flow of divine
revelation in Scripture, then it is the next step in biblical
religion. Thus we should all become Muslims. But, on the other hand,
if Allah was a pre-Islamic pagan deity, then its core claim is
refuted. Religious claims often fall before the results of hard
sciences such as archeology. We can endlessly speculate about the past
or go and dig it up and see what the evidence reveals. This is the
only way to find out the truth concerning the origins of Allah. As we
shall see, the hard evidence demonstrates that the god Allah was a
pagan deity. In fact, he was the Moon-god who was married to the sun
goddess and the stars were his daughters.
Archaeologists have uncovered temples to the Moon-god throughout the
Middle East. From the mountains of Turkey to the banks of the Nile,
the most wide-spread religion of the ancient world was the worship of
the Moon-god. In the first literate civilization, the Sumerians have
left us thousands of clay tablets in which they described their
religious beliefs. As demonstrated by Sjoberg and Hall, the ancient
Sumerians worshipped a Moon-god who was called many different names.
The most popular names were Nanna, Suen and Asimbabbar. His symbol was
the crescent moon. Given the amount of artifacts concerning the
worship of this Moon-god, it is clear that this was the dominant
religion in Sumeria. The cult of the Moon-god was the most popular
religion throughout ancient Mesopotamia. The Assyrians, Babylonians,
and the Akkadians took the word Suen and transformed it into the word
Sin as their favorite name for the Moon-god. As Prof. Potts pointed
out, "Sin is a name essentially Sumerian in origin which had been
borrowed by the Semites." [source - The Archeology of the Middle
East]"[additional references - "South Arabia's stellar religion has

Part 3, The Old Middle Eastern Moon God - Allah:
ANSWERS ON THE MOON GOD ALLAH
One individual asked,
I checked your website,
http://www.freewebs.com/iris_the_preacher , and there's this sentence
in the page that caught my attention:
"...Also, there is the false moon god Allah to contend with as put
forth by Muslims."
FIRST, This individual was in error, as the Arabic word for deity or
god is Ilah. Let's look at the facts from an encyclopedia,
?ilah is the Arabic for "deity". It is cognate to Northwest
Semitic 'el and Akkadian ilu. The word is from a Proto-Semitic archaic
biliteral ?-l meaning "god" (possibly with a wider meaning of
"strong"), which was extended to a regular triliteral by the addition
of a h (as in Hebrew Eloah). The word is spelled either ??? with an
optional diacritic alif to mark the a (as is the case with Allah), or
(more rarely) with a full alif, ???? .
The feminine is ?ilahah ????? "goddess", with the article, al-?ilahah
????? according to Lane's 1893 Lexicon referring to the great serpent
in particular, "because it was a special object of the worship of some
of the ancient Arabs", or the new moon (see also Allat).
In Islamic context, an ilah is the concept of a deity, lord or god and
does not necessarily refer to Allah. The term is used throughout the
Qur'an in passages detailing the existence of Allah as the only Ilah,
and of the beliefs of non-Muslims in other Ilah(s).[source - Wikipedia

Allah - the Moon God
The Archeology of The Middle East
The religion of Islam has as its focus of worship a deity by the name
of "Allah." The Muslims claim that Allah in pre-Islamic times was the
biblical God of the Patriarchs, prophets, and apostles. The issue is
thus one of continuity. Was "Allah" the biblical God or a pagan god in

FOURTH, You overlook this source which has many links on the subject,
but here I will only quote the introduction,
Hubal and Allah the Moon God?
Islam: Truth or Myth? start page
Introduction to basic facts of history:
Moon worship has been practiced in Arabia since 2000 BC. The crescent
moon is the most common symbol of this pagan moon worship as far back
as 2000 BC.
In Mecca, there was a god named Hubal who was Lord of the Kabah.
This Hubal was a moon god.
One Muslim apologist confessed that the idol of moon god Hubal was
placed upon the roof of the Kaba about 400 years before Muhammad. This
may in fact be the origin of why the crescent moon is on top of every
minaret at the Kaba today and the central symbol of Islam atop of
every mosque throughout the world:
About four hundred years before the birth of Muhammad one Amr bin
Lahyo ... a descendant of Qahtan and king of Hijaz, had put an idol
called Hubal on the roof of the Kaba. This was one of the chief
deities of the Quraish before Islam. (Muhammad The Holy Prophet, Hafiz
Ghulam Sarwar (Pakistan), p 18-19, Muslim)
The moon god was also referred to as "al-ilah". This is not a proper
name of a single specific god, but a generic reference meaning "the
god". Each local pagan Arab tribe would refer to their own local
tribal pagan god as "al-ilah".
"al-ilah" was later shortened to Allah before Muhammad began promoting
his new religion in 610 AD.
There is evidence that Hubal was referred to as "Allah".
When Muhammad came along, he dropped all references to the name
"Hubal" but retained the generic "Allah".
Muhammad retained almost all the pagan rituals of the Arabs at the
Kaba and redefined them in monotheistic terms.
Regardless of the specifics of the facts, it is clear that Islam is
derived from paganism that once worshiped a moon-god.
Although Islam is today a monotheist religion, its roots are in
paganism.[source - Brother Andrew]

FIFTH, One expert of Islam, Starjade, has a lot to say on the
celestian Moon god, one of the puppet gods of Satan the Devil and the
false prophet at:

And,
http://www.geocities.com/end_of_times/sura...eighthytwo.html
And,
http://www.geocities.com/end_of_times/surapge1.html
SIXTH, Now here is something else you should read to see the proof of
what I stated in my two articles which incidentally were NOT about the
Moon god, a puppet celestial god of Satan the Devil, but about the
only true God (YHWH) maker of heaven and earth, a point you obviously
missed. But since you made the challenge, I am answering it with
abundant evidence of the obvious. Now here is an introduction to
another important article on the subject,
Was Allah The Moon God of Ancient Arab Pagan?
By Syed Kamran Mirza
Historical evidences, impartial logic, well versed references and all
available circumstantial judgments can very well prove that-(a) Allah
name of deity was pre-existed much before the arrival of Islam, (
Pre-Islamic Pagan peoples worshipped Allah as their supreme deity
(moon-god). Allah's name existed in pre-Islamic Arab. In ancient Arab

ALLAH - The Moon God
The religion of Islam has as its focus of worship a deity by the name
of "Allah." The Muslims claim that Allah in pre-Islamic times was the
biblical God of the Patriarchs, prophets, and apostles. The issue is
thus one of continuity. Was "Allah" the biblical God or a pagan god in
Arabia during pre-Islamic times? The Muslim's claim of continuity is
essential to their attempt to convert Jews and Christians for if
"Allah" is part of the flow of divine revelation in Scripture, then it
is the next step in biblical religion. Thus we should all become
Muslims. But, on the other hand, if Allah was a pre-Islamic pagan
deity, then its core claim is refuted. Religious claims often fall
before the results of hard sciences such as archeology. We can
endlessly speculate about the past or go and dig it up and see what
the evidence reveals. This is the only way to find out the truth
concerning the origins of Allah. As we shall see, the hard evidence
demonstrates that the god Allah was a pagan deity. In fact, he was the
Moon-god who was married to the sun goddess and the stars were his
daughters.
Now look at this article at,
http://www.abrahamic-faith.com/moon-god.html
Sequel to ANSWERS ON THE MOON GOD ALLAH
Now let's look at more facts on the name of the old middle eastern
celestial Moon god, "Allah,"
Allah is the name of the only God in Islam. Allah is a
pre-Islamic name coming from the compound Arabic word Al-ilah which
means the God, which is derived from al (the) ilah (deity). It was
formerly the name of the chief god among the numerous idols (360) in
the Kaaba in Mecca before Mohammed made them into monotheists. Today a
Muslim is one who submits to the God Allah.
Islam means submission to (Allah), but originally it meant that
strength which characterized a desert warrior who, even when faced
with impossible odds, would fight to the death for his tribe. [source
- Dr. M. Baravmann, The Spiritual Background of Early Islam, E. J.
Brill, Leiden, 1972]
And,
Many believe the word "Allah" was derived from the mid-
eastern word "el" which in Ugaritic, Caananite and Hebrew can mean a
true or false God. This is not the case, "The source of this (Allah)
goes back to pre-Muslim times. Allah is not a common name meaning
"God" (or a "god"), and the Muslim must use another word or form if he
wishes to indicate any other than his own peculiar deity." [source -
Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics (ed. Hastings), I:326.]
And,
According to the Encyclopedia of Religion, Allah corresponded
to the Babylonian god Baal, and Arabs knew of him long before Mohammed
worshipped him as the supreme God. Before Islam the Arabs recognized
many gods and goddesses, each tribe had their own deity. There were
also nature deities. Allah was the god of the local Quarish tribe,
which was Mohammed's tribe before he invented Islam to lead his people
out of their polytheism. Allah was then known as the Moon God, who had
3 daughters who were viewed as intercessors for the people into Allah.
Their names were Al-at, Al-uzza, and Al-Manat, which were three
goddesses; the first two daughters of Allah had names which were
feminine forms of Allah. Hubal was the chief God of the Kaaba among
the other 360 deities. Hubal was the chief God of the Kaaba among the
other 360 deities. Hubal was a statue likeness of a man whose body was
made of red precious stones whose arms were made of gold. [source
reference - Islam George Braswell Jr.]
And,
"Historians like Vaqqidi have said Allah was actually the
chief of the 360 gods being worshipped in Arabia at the time Mohammed
rose to prominence. Ibn Al-Kalbi gave 27 names of pre-Islamic
deities...Interestingly, not many Muslims want to accept that Allah
was already being worshipped at the Ka'ba in Mecca by Arab pagans
before Mohammed came. Some Muslims become angry when they are
confronted with this fact. But history is not on their side.
Pre-Islamic literature has proved this." [source - G. J. O. Moshay,
Who Is This Allah? (Dorchester House, Bucks, UK, 1994), pg. 138].
And,
History has shown Mecca and the holy stone al-Kaaba were holy
sites for pre-Islamic pagan Arabs. The Kaaba in Mecca was formerly
named Beit-Allah meaning House of Allah. We are told it was first
built in heaven. This is in contradistinction to what Moses was
instructed to build, something overlooked by the Muslims in their
reading of the Bible.
The Koran tells us that Mohammed drove the other idols away; he made
one God now the only god and he was its messenger. He kept the Kaaba
as a holy, sacred place and confirmed that the black stone had the
power to take away man's sins. He obligated every believer to make a
pilgrimage to the stone at least once in his lifetime. (Sura 22:26-37)
No Old Testament saint ever had a pilgrimage to the Kaaba and kissed
its black stone despite stories that Abraham and Ishmael restored it.
Mohammed used the name Allah which was formerly the name of a
specific idol without ever distinguishing it from the idol the
Meccan's were already worshipping. This was a modification of
their former worship but never a complete break. He never did say for
the people to stop their worship of the wrong Allah, for the right
one. It can still be monotheism and not be the God of the Bible
Al-Lat which is a T at the end of the name of Allah, was represented
by a square stone whose major sanctuary was in the city of Taif. In
the sanctuary was a black stone in the town of Qudayd between Mecca
and Medina. She was the goddess of fate, a female counterpart of
Allah. Al-uzza was the goddess of east Mecca. It has been said there
were human sacrifices made to her and Islamic tradition tells of a
story of Mohammed's grandfather almost sacrificing his son the father
of Mohammed to her. What prevented this was his seeking counsel from a
fortune teller which told him to ransom his son with one hundred
camels. Muslims look to this as the will of Allah to bring Mohammed
into existence. (Reference Muhammad husain haykal, Hayat mohammed)
"The name Allah, as the Qur'an itself is witness, was well known in
pre-Islamic Arabia. Indeed, both it and its feminine form, Allat, are
found not infrequently among the theophorous names in inscriptions
from North Africa." [source - Arthur Jeffrey, ed., Islam: Muhammad and
His Religion (1958), p. 85.)]
.
Part 4, The Mythical Family of The Mythical God Allah:
The Family of Allah:
INTRODUCTION:
As we all know, the family of the true God (YHWH) of Abraham, Issac,
Ishmael, Noah, Moses, etc., the creator of all there is, consist of
himself; his only begotten Son, Jesus (Yeshua), referred to in the
Bible as the Son of God at numerous places. As an example, at
Matthew 14:33, "Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped
him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God." (Authorized King
James Bible; AV). Also, the true God (YHWH) of Abraham, Issac,
Ishmael, Noah, Moses, etc., the creator of all there is, family of
loyal angels in heaven and his family of loyal followers on earth.
Not only does the true God (YHWH) of Abraham, Issac, Ishmael, Noah,
Moses, etc., the creator of all there is, the real God have a family;
the mythical god, "Allah" has a family also.
But there has been little said on the family of Allah. In fact, most
do not know what was known in ancient Arabia, Allah was the male god
and his wife was the female goddess. This is what Professor
Guillaume had to say on this couple, <<<" In Arabia, the sun god was
viewed as a female goddess and the moon as the male god. As has been
pointed out by many scholars such as Alfred Alfred Guilluame, the moon
god was called by various names, one of which was Allah!"[source -
"Islam", by Professor Guillaume, p. 7].
This couple produced three goddesses, and they were the daughters of
Allah and were called, Al-Lat, Al-Uzza, and Manat. This is what the
Encyclopedia of World Mythology and Legend had to say on them in
brief, <<<" The name Allah was used as the personal name of the moon
god, in addition to other titles that could be given to him.
Allah, the moon god, was married to the sun goddess. Together they
produced three goddesses who were called "the daughters of Allah."
These three goddesses were called Al-Lat, Al-Uzza, and Manat.
The daughters of Allah, along with Allah and the sun goddess were
viewed as "high" gods. That is, they were viewed as being at the top
of the pantheon of Arabian deities.
"Along with Allah, however, they worshipped a host of lesser gods and
"daughters of Al-lah" [source - Encyclopedia of World Mythology and
Legend, I:61]>>>.
One writer said this of the family of Allah, <<<" Muslims usually
argue that their 'Allah' is the same deity as the Judeo-Christian God.
For sincere Jews or Christians, that statement ought to be considered
as a profound blasphemy, since it destroys their concept of God. By
accepting such a thesis one is admitting Islam as the true religion,
above Judaism and Christianity. One has not come across any arguments
that can prove that 'Allah' is just another name for the
Judeo-Christian God. The Islamic scholar Caesar Farah states: "There
is no reason, therefore, accept the idea that Allah passed to the
Muslims from the Christians and Jews." (Ceasar Farah, Islam: Beliefs
and Observations (New York, 1987), 28.) And as their characters are
examined, they seem to be of a completely different nature and reveal
contradicting scriptures.
'Allah', in fact, has a genealogy that can be traced through Yemen
to Babylon, the mother of all idolatry. In Babylon, paganism began at
the time of Nimrod, the alleged builder of the Tower of Babel. After
the confusion of languages, Babylonian idolatry spread all over the
world. Nimrod had been dei-fied and was known as Baal, Molech,.... and
finally, as Allah. The Baal worship was conducted by sacrifices,
prostrations and kissing the idol, (See I. Kings 19:18) which was the
same type of service conducted at the Kaaba and other places in
Arabia. There are also traces of a direct Baal worship among the
Arabs: "And God helped him [King Uzziah of Juda] against the
Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gur-baal, and the
Mehunims [probably Mineanites from Yemen]." (II Chron. 26:7) It was
common to add Baal's name to the city where he was worshipped and thus
it was obviously so in Gur. Inscriptions with Baal's name have been
found in Central Arabia at some oasis where Arabian inhabitants had
settled. The great scholar William Robertson Smith argues that the
most developed cults of Arabia belong not to the pure nomads, but to
these agricultural and trading settlements, which the Bedouin visited
only as pilgrims, not to pay stated homage to the lord of the land
from which they drew their life, but in fulfilment of vows. (William
Robertson Smith, The Religion of the Semites. The Fundamental
Institutions (London, 1902), 109.)
Concerning the Kaaba, Muslims' holiest place, Ibn Ishaq gives us an
example of such fulfilment of vows, when he reports the story of a
Jurhum woman who "had been barren and vowed to Allah that if she bore
a son she would give him to the Kaaba as a slave to serve it and to
look after it." (quoted in; Guillaume, The Life of Muhammad, 49.) In
Mesopotamia, and consequently in all the known world, the firstfruits
of the crops or cattle were sacrificed to the fertility god. A sacred
plot of land was offered to the deity, where he could abide and accept
their offerings. In Mecca, the earlier fertility god named Baal was
replaced with desert gods, the Aramaic Allah and the Yemenite Hubal.
The ancient world usually worshipped a pantheon of gods, where
higher and lesser gods battled for supremacy. All these pantheons had
many similarities, for example, always including a relationship
between a high male-god and a mothergoddess. Religious beliefs were
often a spiritual form or the exaltation of the society the
worshippers happened to be a part of. In primitive tribal societies,
the family was the integral part which formed the basis of solidarity,
wealth, protection and daily support. Thus, a family of deities was
the normal state of worship.
In Arabian archaeology a large number of inscriptions on rocks,
tablets and walls, have pointed to the worship of a family of four;
one male and his three 'daughters' or goddesses. Those three goddesses
are sometimes engraved together with Allah, represented by a crescent
moon above them. But Allah was the 'Lord of the Kaaba... Lord of
Manat, al-Lat, and al-Uzza...and even as 'Lord of Sirius'.'(Peters,
Muhammad, 98.) His 'daughters' were his associates, helpers and were
themselves worshipped, after the manner of ancient Babylonian customs
and symbolised by astronomical symbols".[Source - Islam and Goddess
Worship; http://notendur.centrum.is/~snorrigb/fem4.htm]>>>.
Now that we know who his family consisted of, let's look at the details:
DETAILS ON THE MOON GOD "ALLAH" :
Muslims believe that God revealed his final message to humanity
through the Islamic prophet Muhammad via the angel Gabriel.[Reference
- "Introduction" by Watton (1993)] They consider Muhammad to have been
God's final prophet, the "Seal of the Prophets", and the Qur'an to be
the revelations he received in his 23 years of preaching.[source -
"Qur'an", Encyclopedia of Christianity (2001)] Muslims hold that all
of God's messengers since Adam preached the message of Islam -
submission to the will of the one God. To Muslims, Islam is the
eternal religion, described in the Qur'an as "the primordial nature
upon which God created mankind".[References - 19. ^ Qur'an Sura 30:30;
and "Islam", Encyclopedia of Religion]. Furthermore, the Qur'an
states that the proper name Muslim was given by Abraham.[Reference -
Qur'an Sura 22:78; and "Tahrif", Encyclopaedia of Islam Online].
As a historical phenomenon, however, Islam was originated in Arabia in
early 7th century.[Reference - "Islam", Encyclopedia of Religion].
Islamic texts depict Judaism and Christianity as prophetic successor
traditions to the teachings of Abraham. The Qur'an calls Jews and
Christians "People of the Book", and distinguishes them from
polytheists. However, Muslims believe that parts of the previously
revealed scriptures, the Tawrat (Torah) and the Injil (Gospels), had
become distorted as indicated in the Qur'an - either in
interpretation, in text, or both.[Reference - "Tahrif", Encyclopaedia
of Islam Online]

SEE Part 3 of GREATEST LIE TOLD BY ISLAM:

Part 3 of GREATEST LIE TOLD BY ISLAM:
Islamic belief has six main components - belief in God; his
revelations; his angels; his messengers; the "Day of Judgement"; and
the divine ecree.[References - Sahih Muslim 1:1; and "Iman",
Encyclopaedia of Islam Online]
Allah, God, Islamic concept of God, and Tawhid [no Trinity]. The
fundamental concept in Islam is the oneness of God (tawhid):
monotheism which is simple and uncompounded, not composed or made up
of parts.[Resource - "Tawhid", Britannica Concise Encyclopedia]. The
oneness of God is the first of Islam's five pillars, expressed by the
Shahadah (testification). By declaring the Shahadah, a Muslim attests
to the belief that there are no gods but God, and that Muhammad is
God's messenger.[Reference - Griffith (2006), p.248].
In Arabic, God is called Allah. Etymologically, this name is thought
to be derived from a contraction of the Arabic words al- (the) and
ilah (deity, masculine form) - al-ilah meaning "the God".[Source -
"Allah", Encyclopaedia of Islam Online].
The first sura in a Qur'anic manuscript by Hattat Aziz Efendi, says,
<<<"The Qur'an is considered by Muslims to be the literal word of God,
and is the central religious text of Islam. It has also been called,
in English, the Koran and, archaically, the Alcoran. The word Qur'an
means "recitation".[Reference - a b c Teece (2003), pp.12,13].
Although the Qur'an is often referred to as a "book", when Muslims
speak in the abstract about "the Qur'an", they usually mean the
scripture as recited in Arabic rather than the printed work or any
translation of it.[Reference - C. Turner (2006), p.42] Muslims believe
that the verses of the Qur'an were revealed to Muhammad by God through
the Angel Gabriel on numerous occasions between the years 610 and his
death on July 6, 632.">>>[Note, much of the above was taken from the
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia].
Now that the general concept of how Islam views "Allah" is hopefully
understood, let's proceed with historical details on this mythical
celestial god.
Many in Islam claim their god is the same as the true God (YHWH) of
Abraham, Isaac, Ishmael, and Jacob, creator of all there is, but this
is not true as will be shown:
Origins of the word "Allah," let's look at the facts from renown
historical sources:
The well-known Middle East scholar H.A.R. Gibb has pointed out that
the reason that Muhammad never had to explain who Allah was in the
Quran is that his listeners had already heard about Allah long before
Muhammad was ever born [source - (Mohammedanism: An Historical Survey,
New York: Mentor Books, 1955, p.38)].
Dr. Arthur Jeffery, one of the foremost Western Islamic scholars in
modern times and professor of Islamic and Middle East Studies at
Columbia University, notes:
"The name Allah, as the Quran itself is witness, was well known in
pre-Islamic Arabia. Indeed, both it and its feminine form, Allat, are
found not infrequently among the theophorous names in inscriptions
from North Africa" [source - Islam: Muhammad, and His Religion, New
York: The Liberal Arts Press, 1958, p. 85].
The word "Allah" comes from the compound Arabic word, al-ilah. Al is
the definite article "the" and ilah is an Arabic word for "god." It is
not a foreign word. It is not even the Syriac word for God. It is pure
Arabic. [source - There is an interesting discussion of the origins of
Allah, in "Arabic Lexicographical Miscellanies" by J. Blau in the
Journal of Semitic Studies, Vol. XVII, #2, 1972, pp. 173-190].
Neither is Allah a Hebrew or Greek word for God as found in the Bible.
Allah is a purely Arabic term used in reference to an Arabian deity.
[source - Hastings' Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics I:326, T & T
Clark], states:
'"Allah" is a proper name, applicable only to their [Arabs'] peculiar God. '
According to the Encyclopedia of Religion:
'"Allah" is a pre-Islamic name . . . corresponding to the Babylonian
Bel' [source - Encyclopedia of Religion, I:117 Washington DC, Corpus
Pub., 1979].
For those who find it hard to believe that Allah was a pagan name for
a peculiar pagan Arabian deity in pre-Islamic times, the following
quotations may be helpful:
"Allah is found . . . in Arabic inscriptions prior to Islam" [source -
Encyclopedia Britannica, I:643].
"The Arabs, before the time of Mohammed, accepted and worshipped,
after a fashion, a supreme god called Allah" [Encyclopedia off Islam,
I:302, Leiden: E.J. Brill, 1913, Houtsma].
"Allah was known to the pre-Islamic . . . Arabs; he was one of the
Meccan deities" [Encyclopedia off Islam, I:406, ed. Gibb).
"Ilah . . . appears in pre-Islamic poetry . . . By frequency of usage,
al-ilah was contracted to Allah, frequently attested to in pre-Islamic
poetry" (Encyclopedia off Islam, III:1093, 1971].
"The name Allah goes back before Muhammad" [source - Encyclopedia of
World Mythology and Legend, I:41, Anthony Mercatante, New York, The
Facts on File, 1983].
"The origin of this (Allah) goes back to pre-Muslim times. Allah is
not a common name meaning "God" (or a "god"), and the Muslim must use
another word or form if he wishes to indicate any other than his own
peculiar deity" [source - Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics, I:326,
Hastings].
To the testimony of the above standard reference works, we add those
of such scholars as Henry Preserved Smith of Harvard University who
has stated:
"Allah was already known by name to the Arabs" [source - The Bible and
Islam: or, The Influence of the Old and New Testament on the Religion
of Mohammed, New York, Charles Scribner's Sons, 1897, p. 102]
"Ilah is the Arabic for "deity". It is cognate to Northwest Semitic '
and Akkadian ilu. The word is from a Proto-Semitic archaic biliteral
meaning "god" (possibly with a wider meaning of "strong"), which was
extended to a regular triliteral by the addition of a h (as in Hebrew
Eloah). ...[omitted as not English characters] with an optional
diacritic alif to mark ...; (as is the case with Allah), or (more
rarely) with a full alif...; .The feminine is;hah "goddess", with the
article, al...[omitted as not English characters]; according to Lane's
1893 Lexicon referring to the great serpent in particular, "because it
was a special object of the worship of some of the ancient Arabs", or
the new moon (see also Allat).In Islamic context, an ilah is the
concept of a deity, lord or god and does not necessarily refer to
Allah. The term is used throughout the Qur'an in passages detailing
the existence of Allah as the only Ilah, and of the beliefs of
non-Muslims in other Ilah(s)."[source - Wikipedia free Encyclopedia]

"Hubal and Allah the Moon God?Islam: Truth or Myth? start page
Introduction to basic facts of history:Moon worship has been practiced
in Arabia since 2000 BC. The crescent moon is the most common symbol
of this pagan moon worship as far back as 2000 BC. In Mecca, there was
a god named Hubal who was Lord of the Kabah. This Hubal was a moon
god. One Muslim apologist confessed that the idol of moon god Hubal
was placed upon the roof of the Kaba about 400 years before Muhammad.
This may in fact be the origin of why the crescent moon is on top of
every minaret at the Kaba today and the central symbol of Islam atop
of every mosque throughout the world: About four hundred years before
the birth of Muhammad one Amr bin Lahyo ... a descendant of Qahtan and
king of Hijaz, had put an idol called Hubal on the roof of the Kaba.
This was one of the chief deities of the Quraish before Islam.
(Muhammad The Holy Prophet, Hafiz Ghulam Sarwar (Pakistan), p 18-19,
Muslim)The moon god was also referred to as "al-ilah". This is not a
proper name of a single specific god, but a generic reference meaning
"the god". Each local pagan Arab tribe would refer to their own local
tribal pagan god as "al-ilah". "al-ilah" was later shortened to Allah
before Muhammad began promoting his new religion in 610 AD. There is
evidence that Hubal was referred to as "Allah". When Muhammad came
along, he dropped all references to the name "Hubal" but retained the
generic "Allah". Muhammad retained almost all the pagan rituals of the
Arabs at the Kaba and redefined them in monotheistic terms. Regardless
of the specifics of the facts, it is clear that Islam is derived from
paganism that once worshiped a moon-god. Although Islam is today a
monotheist religion, its roots are in paganism."[source - Brother

Was Allah The Moon God of Ancient Arab Pagan? By Syed Kamran Mirza
Historical evidences, impartial logic, well versed references and all
available circumstantial judgments can very well prove that-(a) Allah
name of deity was pre-existed much before the arrival of Islam, (
Pre-Islamic Pagan peoples worshipped Allah as their supreme deity
(moon-god). Allah's name existed in pre-Islamic Arab. In ancient Arab
the Allah was considered to be the supreme God/deity (as Moon-God) and
Arab Pagans worshipped Allah before Islam arrived. Let us examine
below some valid questions and answers :Did the Pagan Arabs in
pre-Islamic times worship 360 gods? YesDid the pagans Arabs worship
the sun, moon and the stars? YesDid the Arabs built temples to the
Moon-god? YesDid different Arab tribes give the Moon-god different

"ALLAH - The Moon GodThe religion of Islam has as its focus of worship
a deity by the name of "Allah." The Muslims claim that Allah in
pre-Islamic times was the biblical God of the Patriarchs, prophets,
and apostles. The issue is thus one of continuity. Was "Allah" the
biblical God or a pagan god in Arabia during pre-Islamic times? The
Muslim's claim of continuity is essential to their attempt to convert
Jews and Christians for if "Allah" is part of the flow of divine
revelation in Scripture, then it is the next step in biblical
religion. Thus we should all become Muslims. But, on the other hand,
if Allah was a pre-Islamic pagan deity, then its core claim is
refuted. Religious claims often fall before the results of hard
sciences such as archeology. We can endlessly speculate about the past
or go and dig it up and see what the evidence reveals. This is the
only way to find out the truth concerning the origins of Allah. As we
shall see, the hard evidence demonstrates that the god Allah was a
pagan deity. In fact, he was the Moon-god who was married to the sun
goddess and the stars were his daughters."[source -
www.abrahamic-faith.com/moon-god.html ]
"In fact the common symbol used in much of Islam, the Crescent Moon,
like in the Green Crescent the Arab equivalent of the Red Cross, as
used by the Ottomans, on most Mosques, etc. But here is what history
and archaeology shows:
The symbol of the worship of the moon god in Arabian culture and
elsewhere throughout the Middle East was the crescent moon.
Archaeologists have dug up numerous statues and hieroglyphic
inscriptions in which a crescent moon was seated on top of the head of
the deity to symbolize the worship of the moon god. In the same
fashion as the sun is pictured above the Egyptian deity.
Now there are strong indicators that the heathen god, Baal, was the
god of very early antiquity that actually evolved into the present day
Moon god "Allah," by way of an intermediary figure, the god "Hubal
al'iah." In fact in his name you can actually see how the name for
the pagan Moon god became.
While the moon was generally worshiped as a female deity in the
Ancient Near East, the Arabs viewed it as a male deity."[source - The

"ALLAH...The term is a contraction of the Arabic al-ilah, "the God."
Both the idea and the word existed in pre-Islamic Arabian tradition,

recognized Allah as the supreme God."[source - Microsoft(r) Encarta(r)

"Allah was also known as Hubel, ""Among the gods worshiped by the
Quraysh, the greatest was Hubal
...
Some additional details on this cleromantic deity, the most powerful
of the pagan idols of Mecca, is supplied by the Meccan historian
Azraqi
...
Amr ibn Luhayy brought with him (to Mecca) an idol called Hubal from
the land of Hit in Mesopotamia. Hubal was one of the Quraysh's
greatest idols so he set it up at the well inside the Kab'a and
ordered the people to worship it. Thus a man coming back from a
journey would visit it and circumambulate the House before going to
his family, and would shave his hair before it ... "[Peters, Hajj: The
Muslim Pilgrimage to Mecca and the Holy Places [Princeton University
Press, NJ, 1994], pp. 24-25]
""Khuza 'ah thus shared the guilt of Jurhum. They were also to blame
in other respects: a chieftain of theirs, on his way back from a
journey to SYRIA, had asked the MOABITES to give him ONE OF THEIR
IDOLS. They gave him HUBAL, which he brought back to the Sanctuary,
setting it up within the Ka'bah itself; and it became THE CHIEF IDOL
OF MECCA." [Muhammad: His Life Based on the Earliest Sources, Inner
Traditions International, LTD. One Park Street, Rochestor Vermont
05767, 1983, p. 5].
And this Hubel or Allah the Moon god is indicated to be known by
others as the Biblically condemned god, 'Baal.' Commenting on 'Abd
al-Muttalib's rediscovery of the well of Zamzam and its treasures,
Lings writes:
"... So 'Abd al-Muttalib continued to dig without any actual move
being made to stop him; and some of the people were already leaving
the sanctuary when suddenly he struck the well's stone covering and
uttered a cry of thanksgiving to God. The crowd reassembled and
increased; and when he began to dig out the treasure which Jurhum had
buried there, everyone claimed the right to share in it. 'Abd
al-Muttalib agreed that lots should be cast for each object, as to
whether it should be kept in the sanctuary or go to him personally or
be divided amongst the tribe. This had become the recognised way of
deciding an issue of doubt, and it was done by means of divining
arrows inside the Ka'bah, in front of THE MOABITE IDOL HUBAL ..."
(Lings, p. 11; bold and capital emphasis ours) 'Amr then asked them to
give him an idol he could take to Arab lands where it could be
worshipped, and they gave him one named Hubal. This he brought to
Mecca and set on a pedestal and ordered the people to worship and
venerate it. (The Life of the Prophet Muhammad (Al-Sira al-Nabawiyya),
Volume I, translated by professor Trevor Le Gassick, reviewed by Dr.
Ahmed Fareed" [Garnet Publishing Limited, 8 Southern Court, south

In the Collier's CD-ROM Encyclopedia, we find the following
information on Baal:
"Referred to as Aliyan (I Prevail), Baal triumphed over the champions
he encountered in battle. He came to be distinguished by the name of
the locality in which he was adored and by the special character or
function attributed to him. Every major aspect of religious life
could, moreover, develop the cult of its own Baal. In general, he was
credited with being the male author of fertility in soil and flock,
and offerings in kind were presented to him at proper festivals."
[source - Collier's CD-ROM Encyclopedia]
This Baal was considered in earliest times to be the supreme god of
the people we now know as Arabs, and cultures usually always maintain
there supreme god even though he/she may change his form or even name.
Therefore, this is a very strong indicator that in all probability he
evolved into Hubal al'iah who later evolved into Allah, but always
remaining the supreme god of the people of the area.
"Archaeological, linguistic, and non-Arabic data support the view that
there were among the Arabs, long before the emergence of Islam,
worshipers of a supreme god known as Allah...leaves little doubt that
the Meccans, despite their idolatry, recognized that Allah was Creator
and Supreme Provider...Allah was recognized as a High God to whom the
inhabitants of the desert and the townsfolk turned in all great
difficulties. Two pagan bards, Nabighah and Labid, used the name
"Allâh" in connection with the Supreme Deity, while the so-called
Hanifs, in their search for an acceptable religion, rejected
polytheism and sought freedom from sin by appeal to the will of
Allah." [source - Collier's CD-ROM Encyclopedia].
Notes: As can be readily seen from the foregoing, it is very likely
that Baal evolved into Allah in progressive steps which are indicated
to be as follows,
Baal evolved into Hubal al'iah and Hubal al'iah into Allah the middle
eastern Moon god.
How so, the Meccans at the time were pagan heathens and worshipped
this heathen god from time im-memorable in his various evolutionary
forms. Of course this is the way heathen beliefs usually progress,
but let's look once more at Allah as the modern Moon god.
Dr. W. Montgomery Watt, who was Professor of Arabic and Islamic
Studies at Edinburgh University and Visiting Professor of Islamic
studies at College de France, Georgetown University, and the
University of Toronto, has done extensive work on the pre-Islamic
concept of Allah. He concludes:
"In recent years I have become increasingly convinced that for an
adequate understanding of the career of Muhammad and the origins of
Islam great importance must be attached to the existence in Mecca of
belief in Allah as a "high god." In a sense this is a form of
paganism, but it is so different from paganism as commonly understood
that it deserves separate treatment" [William Montgomery Watt,
Muhammad's Mecca, p. vii. Also see his article, "Belief in a High God
in Pre-Islamic Mecca", Journal of Semitic Studies, Vol. 16, 1971, pp.
35-40].
Caesar Farah in his book on Islam concludes his discussion of the
pre-Islamic meaning of Allah by saying:
"There is no reason, therefore, to accept the idea that Allah passed
to the Muslims from the Christians and Jews" [Islam: Beliefs and
Observations, New York, Barrons, 1987, p. 28].
According to Middle East scholar E.M. Wherry, whose translation of the
Quran is still used today, in pre-Islamic times Allah-worship, as well
as the worship of Ba-al, were both astral religions in that they
involved the worship of the sun, the moon, and the stars [A
Comprehensive Commentary on the Quran, Osnabruck: Otto Zeller Verlag,
1973, p. 36].
But one part time Bible scholar pointed out in simple terms that there
is no way that "Allah," could be the same as the true God (YHWH) of
Abraham, Isaac, Ishmael, and Jacob, creator of all there is, as
follows:
1) If Allah is a proper name, then he could not be the same god
(obviously)[as "YHWH" of the Bible], there is only one name declared
as the universal name for all generations, and forever. (YHVH or YHWH)
2) If Allah is only a word for god in Arabic, then why did he never
reveal that his name is YHWH [in the Quran]? There are many terms used
in the Bible that refer to YHWH's attributes, but from the Scriptural
standpoint, there is only one proper name, YHWH. Yet, in Muslim
tradition, there are 99 Names for Allah. Thus, these two could not be
the same.
THE FEMALE SUN-GOD WHO WAS ALLAH'S WIFE:
An opening statement, <<<" According to Middle East scholar
E.M.Wherry, whose translation of the Koran is still used today, in
pre-Islamic times Allah-worship, as well as the worship of Baal, were
both astral religions in that they involved the worship of the sun,
the moon, and the stars." [Source - A Comprehensive Commentary on the
Quran, Osnabrück: Otto Zeller Verlag, 1973, p.36].
Now in ancient Arabia, Allah's wife, the female celestial sun goddess,
per Alfred Guilluame,"The sun-god was viewed as a female goddess and
the moon god, "Allah," was viewed at the male god." [Reference -
Islam, by Alfred Guilluame, p. 7].
<<<"Allah, the moon god, was married to the sun goddess. Together they
produced three goddesses who were called 'the daughters of Allah'.
These three goddesses were called Al-Lat, Al-Uzza, and Manat.
"The daughters of Allah, along with Allah and the sun goddess were
viewed as "high" gods. That is, they were viewed as being at the top
of the pantheon of Arabian deities" [Source - Robert Morey, The
Islamic Invasion, Eugene, Oregon, Harvest House Publishers, 1977,
pp.50-51].
One translator of the Qur'an said, <<<""Long before Muhammad's call,
Arabian paganism was showing signs of decay. At the Ka'bah the Meccans
worshipped not only Allah, the supreme Semitic God, but also a number
of female deities whom they regarded as daughters of Allah. Among
these were Al-Lat, Al-Uzza, and Manat, who represented the Sun, Venus,
and Fortune respectively." [source - Koran, N.J. Dawood, And a
translator of the].
One account involving the female sun-god is as follows, <<<"This
'Carthaginian Astarte' bears also the name of the 'mother of the
gods.' When the mother of the Emperor Heliogabalus, Julia Soemias, was
elevated to the position of goddess of heaven (and her son to the
position of sun-god) she was given the official title 'Mother of the
gods, Venus Urania, Queen Juno.' But in Nabataean inscriptions the
'mother of the gods' is also called Allat. Thus we have a right to
assume that in Arabic circles Allat corresponded with the great
Semitic goddess of motherhood, fertility and heaven, and especially
with the form which she assumed in Western Semitic regions. In Taif,
where her most important sanctuary was located, she was called simply
Al Rabba, 'sovereign,' a title which be-longed also to Ishtar (Belit)
and Astarte (Baalat). At the time of Mohammed's appearance Al 'Uzza
'Uzza received the most worship of the three goddesses. The name signifies 'the mighty, the honoured one,' and hence it really has much the same content as Al Rabba. In character too this goddess is very similar to Allat. Only in Northern Arabia does she seem to have retained more definitely her original connection with the planet Venus. Isaac of Antioch relates that the savage Arabs sacrificed boys and girls to the morning star, whom he also calls Al 'Uzza. He also accuses the Syrian ladies of climbing upon the roof at night and praying to the morning star to make their faces radiant Arith beauty. The Arab women do likewise. And yet, Isaac adds ironically, some of them are beautiful and some are ugly, just as are the women of all nations.' The Church Father Nilus relates that the Arabs worshipped the morning star, and on concluding a successful raid gladly sacrificed to it at dawn. Something very precious was used as a sacrifice, preferably a youth in the bloom of adolescence. In Nakhla, a few miles north of Mecca, Al 'Uzza had one of her chief sanctuaries. In the eighth year after the Hegira Mohammed sent the valiant Khalid, who later conquered Syria, with thirty horsemen to destroy this sanctuary. While Khalid was felling the last of the three sacred acacia-trees of the goddess, a naked black woman with flowing hair approached him. Her priest, who was present, cried out: 'Be courageous, Al 'Uzza, and protect thyself!' Khalid shook with terror, but took courage, and with one stroke cleft her head. Then she turned into a black cinder.'" [source - Mohammed: The man and his faith, Tor Andrae, 1936, Translated by Theophil Menzel, 1960, p13-30, Sweedish scholar]>>>.
Yusuf Ali: pgs. 1619-1623 "The Forms of Pagan Worship., said, <<<"It will be noticed that the sun and the moon and the five planets got identified with a living deity, god or goddess, with the qualities of its own.
Moon worship was equally popular in various forms...It may be noted that the moon was a male divinity in ancient India; it was also a male divinity in ancient Semitic religion, and the Arabic word for the moon (qamar) is of the masculine gender. On the other hand, the Arabic word for the sun (shama) is of the feminine gender. The pagan Arabs evidently looked upon the sun as a goddess and the moon as a god.
If Wadd and Suwa represented Man and Woman, they might well represent the astral worship of the moon and the sun...
The Pagan deities best known in the Ka'ba and round about Mecca were Lat, Uzza and Manat...They were all female goddesses.
In his explanation of why the Qur'an swears by the moon in Surah 74:32,
"Nay, verily by the Moon," Yusuf Alli comments, "The moon was worshipped as a deity in times of darkness"[source - Yusuf Ali, pgs. 1619-1623 and 5798, pg. 1644].
The other gods mentioned in the Quran are all female deities: Al-Lat, al-Uzza, and Manat, which represented the Sun, the planet Venus, and Fortune, respectively; at Mecca they were regarded as the daughters of Allah...As Allah meant 'the god', so Al-Lat means 'the goddess'."
[Source - Alfred Guilaume, Islam, (Penguin, 1956) pgs. 6-7].
As mentioned previously, Allah (the male Moon god) and the Sun-god (female)had three dauthers and these will be dealt with next.
THE DAUGHTERS OF ALLAH - THE MALE MOON GOD, AND THE FEMALE SUN-GOD:
<<<"As well as worshipping idols and spirits, found in animals, plants, rocks and water, the ancient Arabs believed in several major gods and goddesses whom they considered to hold supreme power over all things. The most famous of these were Al-Lat, Al-Uzza, Manat and Hubal. The first three were thought to be the daughters of Allah(God) and their intercessions on behalf of their worshippers were therefore of great significance.
Hubal was associated with the Semitic god Ba'l and with Adonis or Tammuz, the gods of spring, fertility, agriculture and plenty...Hubal's idol used to stand by the holy well inside the Sacred House. It was made of red sapphire but had a broken arm until the tribe of Quraysh, who considered him one of their major gods, made him a replacement in solid gold.
In addition to the sun, moon and the star Al-Zuhara, the Arabs worshipped the planets Saturn, Mercury, and Jupiter, the stars Sirius and Canopus and the constellations of Orion, Ursa Major and Minor, and the seven Pleiades.
Some stars and planets were given human characters,. According to legend, Al-Dabaran, one of the stars in the Hyades group, fell deeply in love with Al-Thurayya, the fairest of the Pleiades stars. With the approval of the Moon, he asked for her hand in marriage. "[Source - Khairt al-Saeh, Fabled Cities, Princes & Jin from Arab Myths and Legends, (New York: Schocken, 1985), p. 28-30.]>>>.
<<<"Along with Allah, however; they worshipped a host of lesser gods and
"daughters of Allah." [Source - Encyclopedia of World Mythology and Legend, I:61}>>>.
<<<" One of the aspects of goddess worship that has survived in Islam, as well as, for example, in Roman Catholicism, is the rosary. Through the ages the worshippers of goddesses had used the rosary for prayers and it is still in use in the worship of female deities all over the world, for example by Hindus in India. The rosary is connected with fertility worship when the deity's name is repeated over and over again. (Compare to Matthew 6:7-13 and Acts 19:34.) It is called tasbih or subha in Arabic, and simply means 'an object which one praises.' The Muslim rosary is supposed to contain 99 beads, representing the titles of 'Allah', but usually it only has 33 beads, slipped through one's fingers three times. (Compare to the Koran 7:180.) This pagan custom, which is dated to Astarte worship from about 800 BCE, still survives in Islam as well as in many other cults around the world.
Ancient Middle Eastern mythology often pictured the Mother goddess with a son, such as Isis-Horus in Egypt and Astarte-Tammuz in the Fertile Crescent. This mother-son worship was established throughout the world. In China there was the Mother Shingmoo, Hertha in ancient Germany, Nutria in ancient Italy (Etrusca), Indrani in India, Aphrodite in Greece, Venus in Rome, Cybele in Asia Minor and Carthage, Diana in Ephesus, Isis in Egypt etc.. In Hijaz, on the other hand, there was no harvest and thus no worship of fertility gods as such. Its patriarchal society soon changed the ancient mother-son worship to father-daughter worship. Allah was the father, and his daughters were Al-Lat, Manat and al-Uzza.
Al-Lat (Allat)
Al-Lat, the female version of the Aramaic Allah, was the 'Lady of the Temple' at the Semitic Pantheon of Palmyra, frequently mentioned in sources from ancient periods. Her cult was shared by the tribes of Bene Maazin and Bene Nurbel in that city. The former tribe probably provided the guardians or priests for her sanctuary, which was probably established after the Nabatean occupation of Syria, including Damascus, in 85 BCE. (Javier Teixidor, The Pantheon at Palmyra, 55-58.)
Al-Lat was the mother goddess (al-Ilahah), representing the sun. She was the mother figure among the gods and goddesses, the Great Earth Mother of ancient mythology, and the Astarte of the Arabs. Javier Teixidor states:
It is not surprising to find at Palmyra different names for the same deity. Allat ... Astarte ... all conceal one sole goddess, the female deity of heaven in whose cult Arab Palmyrenes as well as members of the western tribes were united. (Ibid, 61.)
She was brought to the Hijaz from Palmyra, probably through Teima. Alfred Guillaume states:
Al-Lat... is mentioned by Herodotus; in old Arabian inscriptions; and in the pre-Islamic poets; and was the great mother goddess who, under various names, was worshipped all over the ancient world. Ta'if, a town near Mecca, was the centre of her worship [in Arabia proper]. (Guillaume, The Life of Muhammad, 24, 38.)
In Ta'if there was a temple dedicated to al-Lat, (Guillaume, Islam, 7.) the city's deity, according to Ibn Ishaq, and she was represented by a square-stone. (Hitti, History of the Arabs, 98 ). The Mother goddess was often repres-ent-ed by a stone, mountain, cave, pillar or rock. Stones are among the oldest symb-ols of Mother worship, as Erich Neumann discussed in detail. (Erich Neumann, The Great Mother (Princeton, 1953/1991), 260.) The Meccans had been on friendly terms with the Ta'ifians, especially since most of their food was bought or grown in Ta'if, and that city was also the main commercial centre in the Hijaz, since it lay on the Yemen-Mesopotamia overland trading route. According to Ibn al-Khalbi:
Al-Lat stood in al-Ta'if and was more recent than Manat. She was a cubic rock beside which a certain Jew used to prepare his barley porridge. Her custody was in the hands of Banu Attab ibn Malik of the Thaqif, who had built an edifice over her.... The Quraysh, as well as all the Arabs, were wont to venerate al-Lat. They used to name their children after her, calling them Zayd al-Lat and Taym al-Lat. (Quoted in Peters, Muhammad, 110).
The Nabateans also venerated Allat as the 'mother of the gods', the same as the Urania of Hellenism. According to Tor Andrae:
Thus we have a right to assume that in Arabic circles Allat correspond-ed with the great Semitic goddess of motherhood, fertility and heaven, and especially with the form which she assumed in Western Semitic reg-ions. In Taif, where her most important sancturay was located, she was called simply Al Rabba, 'sovereign', a title which belonged also to Ishtar (Belit) and Astarte (Baalat). (Tor Andrae, Mohammad. The Man and His Faith (London, 1936), 17.)
When Muhammed conquered Mecca and some of its neighbouring tribes, he turned to Ta'if and its temple of al-Lat. A Muslim poet said about the attack on Ta'if:
Don't help al-Lat for Allah is about to destroy her.
How can one who cannot help herself be helped?
She was burned in black smoke and caught fire.
None fighting before her stones, is an outcast.
When the apostle descends on your land
None of her people will be left when he leaves.
(Guillaume, The Life of Muhammad, 588.)
Allat was the equivalent of Ishtar-Astarte in the mother-father Semitic cult worship. In contrast to the Fertile Crescent region, the Arabs worshipped her as the sun, not the moon which is masculine in Arabia. However, the Semitic cults connected the goddess worship with love, and thus, its absence with the opposite. As Erich Neumann states:
Withdrawal of love can appear as a withdrawal of all the functions constituting the positive side of the elementary character. Thus hunger and thirst may take place of food, cold of warmth, defenselessness of protection, nakedness of shelter and clothing, and distress of contentment.... Consequently, the symbols of exile and desert also belong to the present context. (Neumann, The Great Mother, 67-68.)
Thus, the Arabs were left with the loneliness of the desert and in order to make the best of the situation, the moon-goddess of the fertile lands was transformed into the sun-goddess of the desert. Al-Lat was the Great Mother who fed her children as necessary. But when it came to fortune the Arabs turned to Manat.
Manat
Manat is believed to be the Arabs' original goddess, appearing some time before al-Uzza and al-Lat. Her name appears in the house of Baal in 32 CE, but she originated much earlier among the Arabs. Manat seems to have arrived in Arabia from Palmyra, where she was worshipped along with Baal. She was venerated beside several other deities in a temple called 'the house of the gods,' (Teixidor, The Pantheon of Palmyra 3, 12-18 - The Pagan god, 116.) the Palmyran equivalent of the Kaaba. Manat was the controller of the Arabs' fortunes and the mystery of life and death. She was the chief deity of al-Aus and al-Khazraj and other pagan inhabitants of Yathrib (Medina). It seems that she was represented by a wooden image, which was covered in blood during her worship. (Guillaume, The Life of Muhammad, 38-39, 207.) Manat's sanctuary was in a place near Yathrib where the Aus and Khazraj visited on their way back from their pilgrimages to Mecca. Ibn al-Khalbi states:
The Aus and Khazraj, as well as those Arabs among the people of Yathrib and other places who followed their way of life, were accustomed to go on Hajj and observe the 'standing' at all the appointed places, but not shave their heads [as was customary during the pilgrimage]. At the end of Hajj, however, when they were about to return home, they would set out to the place where Manat stood, shave their heads and stay there for a while. (Quoted in Peters, Muhammad, 110.)
This goddess of fate and time in ancient paganism was revered and worshipped with the same zeal as the Mother figure itself. In Greece Moirai, the goddess of fate, was the daughter of the Night, as well as Moros and Erinyes (compare to al-Lat and al-Uzza). Attributed to the goddess of fate was the sharing of booty, land and labour between clans. She was concerned with birth, marriage and death and, in the relation with men, warfare and raids.
Manat was much revered by the Arabs but her worship was dwindling at the time of Muhammed, probably due to Jewish influence in Medina. This shows how easily the al-Aus and al-Khazraj tribes were willing to abandon their religion in favour of Islam.
Al-Uzza
Some sources say that al-Uzza was brought to Mecca by the Quraysh and enjoined to the already established Kaaba worship, but she probably was a local deity in Mecca since the time of 'Amr ibn Lubayy. In Muhammed's time, al-Uzza was the most important of the Meccan local deities, perhaps save for 'the Lord' Hubal. Her main sanctuary was in a valley called Hurad, just outside Mecca. 'It was complete with a haram and a sacrificial altar.' (Ibid, 110.) Alfred Guillaume states that evidence 'for her worship from the fourth century AD is copious. Tradition states that in his youth Muhammad sacrificed a white sheep to her.' The Arabs offered human sacrifices to al-Uzza and
the blood of the victims was smeared or poured on them while the tribes-men danced round the stone... The devotees licked the blood, or dipped their hands in it, and thus a reciprocal bond held them to one another and the deity to whom the stone belonged. Nilus, a Christian writer, gives a fairly full account of such a sacrifice to Uzza. Though there is no trace of human sacrifices in the Quran, it is clear from the authority just quoted and from early Arab sources that human beings were sacrificed to these gods in Duma and Hira. (Guillaume, Islam, 8-9.)
Ibn Ishaq states that al-Uzza had a slaughter place (ghabghab), where the blood was poured out. An Arab poet said:
Asma' was given as a dowry the head of a little red cow Which a man of the Banu Ghanm had sacrificed He saw blemish in her eye when he led her away To al-Uzza's slaughter-place and divided her into goodly portions.
Muhammed had, according to tradition, sacrificed a sheep to her, and it might very well be that it had been done at Mount Hira, which was now Muhammed's place of devotion to the moon-god Allah and his daughter al-Uzza. It has been stated that the Arabs sacrificed infant boys and girls to the morning star, al-Uzza. (Andrae, Mohammed, 17-18.) Ibn al-Khalbi states:
The Quraysh as well as other Arabs who inhabited Mecca did not give to any of their idols anything similar to their veneration of al-Uzza. The next in order of veneration was Al-Lat and then Manat. (Peters, Muhammad, 111.)
During the armed confrontation between the Meccans and Muhammed at Badr (AH 2), the former carried al-Uzza's banner to battle. Tradition says that Muhammed sent Khalid ibn al-Walid, who later conquered Syria for Islam, to destroy al-Uzza's temple in Nakhla. There, some of the tribes of Quraysh and Kinana, and all the Mudar tribe, used to worship. When the guardian of al-Uzza heard that Khalid was approaching "he hung his sword on her, climbed the mountain on which she stood," and said:
O 'Uzza, make an annihilating attack on Khalid, Throw aside your veil and gird up your train
O 'Uzza, if you do not kill this man Khalid Then bear a swift punishment or become a Christian.
However, according to tradition, Khalid and his army destroyed the al-Uzza idol and returned to Muhammed. (Guillaume, The Life of Muhammad, 565-566.) When these idols had all been destroyed, 'Allah' reigned supreme in the Hijaz. The threefaced Mother Goddess had vanished from the visible sphere, but still lives in Muslim legends according to the 'Satanic verses'.".[Source - Islam and Goddess Worship;http://notendur.centrum.is/~snorrigb/fem4.htm]>>>.

The black stone which the Musulmans kiss with so much devotion to this day, is, as it is pretended, an ancient statue of Saturnus. The walls of the great mosque of Kufah, built on the foundation of an ancient Pyrea or temple of the fire, are filled with figures of planets artistically engraved. The ancient worship of the Arabs was the Sabismus, a religion universally spread all over the Orient. Heaven and the Stars were the first objects thereof.
"This religion was that of the ancient Chaldeans, and the Orientals pretend that their Ibrahim or Abraham was brought up in that doctrine. There is still to be seen at Hella, over the ruins of the ancient Babylon, a mosque called Mesched Eschams, or the mosque of the Sun. It was in this city, that the ancient temple of Bel, or the Sun, the great Divinity of the Babylonians, existed; it is the same God, to whom the Persians erected temples and consecrated images under the name of Mithras."[source - The Roots of Islam]>>>.
A NOTE, on the tribe into which Muhammad (pbuh) was born. <<<""The Quraysh tribe into which Mohammad was born was particularly devoted to Allah, the moon god, and especially to Allah's three daughters who were viewed as intercessors between the people and Allah.
"The worship of the three goddesses, Al-Lat, Al-Uzza, and Manat, played a significant rôle in the worship at the Kabah in Mecca. The first two daughters of Allah had names which were feminine forms of Allah.
"The literal Arabic name of Muhammad's father was Abd-Allah. His uncle's name was Obied-Allah. These names reveal the personal devotion that Muhammad's pagan family had to the worship of Allah, the moon god" [source - Annonymous]>>>.
<<"The 'Satanic Verses'
The chapter of Muhammed's life the Muslims want to forget most of all is the affair of the 'Satanic verses', made worldfamous by Salman Rushdie's novel by the same name. The setting is Mecca, some years before the hijra, most likely in 619 CE, when Muhammed's protector, Abu Talib, and his wife, Khadija, had both died. The Meccans had become increasingly hostile towards him and ridiculed his mission in every possible way. What was probably worse, they tempted Muhammed by promising him fame and fortune if he would refrain from attacking their deities. Muhammed was unwilling to compromise his mission and declined their offer. Then the next temptation came, as al-Tabari narrates:
'If you will not do so, we offer you one means which will be to your advantage and to ours.' 'What is it?' he [Muhammed] asked. They said: 'You will worship our gods, al-Lat and al-'Uzza, for a year, and we shall worship your god for a year.' 'Let me see what revelation comes to me from my Lord' he replied. Then, the following inspiration came from the Preserved Tablet [the Koran which 'Allah' preserves in heaven]. (W. M. Watt and M. V. McDonald (transl. & annotators), The History of al-Tabari (volume IV: Muhammad at Mecca. New York, 1988), 107.)
The continuation al-Tabari adopted from Ibn Ishaq's narrative which stated:
When the apostle saw that his people turned their backs on him and he was pained by their estrangement from what he brought them from Allah, he longed that there should come to him from Allah a message that would reconcile his people to him. Because of his love for his people and his anxiety over them, it would delight him if the obstacle that made his task so difficult could be removed; so that he meditated on the project and longed for it and it was dear for him. Then Allah sent down 'By the star when it sets your comrades errs not and is not deceived, he speaks not from his own desire.' (Guillaume, The Life of Muhammad, 165.)
Then Muhammed's revelation continued: 'Have you thought upon Al-Lat and al-Uzza and on Manat, the third other? Are yours the males, and His the females?' (The Koran 53:19.) In a patriarchal society it was a shame to have only daughters, as Muhammed had only daughters and was embarrassed for this very reason. Thus 'Allah' would be imperfect due to his inability to procreate sons. Muhammed thus concluded that it would be better for 'Allah' to have no children at all.
Ibn Ishaq stated that Muhammed added: '... these are the exalted Gharaniq whose intercession is approved.' A Gharaniq was thought to be an angelic creature, who could fly at a great height, and thus were exalted above men. Muhammed's acceptance of the three daughters of Allah as being semi-divine delighted the Quraysh who prostrated themselves in the place of prostration (masjid - mosque) along with the Muslims.
When the Quraysh heard that, they rejoiced and were happy and delighted at the way in which he spoke of their gods, and they listened to him, while the Muslims, having complete trust in their Prophet in respect of the messages which he brought from God, did not suspect him of error, illusion or mistake. When he came to the prostration, having completed the Surah, he prostrated himself, the Muslims did likewise, following their Prophet, trusting in the message which he had brought and following his example. Those polytheists of the Quraysh and others who were in the mosque likewise prostrated themselves because of the reference to their gods which they had heard, so that there was no one in the mosque, believer or unbeliever, who did not prostrate himself. (Watt & McDonald, The History of al-Tabari, 108-109.)
Alfred Guillaume stated that all "of these interpolated words meant that the divine or semi-divine beings were inter-cessors with Allah, an office which in Islam is accorded only to Muhammad himself." The words Muhammed uttered, and were later deleted from the canonised version of the Koran, were a chant the Meccans used when they walked around the Black Stone. (Guillaume, Islam, 36.) Muhammed had now made serious compromises with paganism. And just as Catholicism solved this problem, Muhammad found only one solution, incorporate those competitors and everybody would be happy: the pagans for being able to indirectly worship their deities, and Islam (as Catholicism) by merging with paganism.
According to Muslim tradition, the Quraysh agreed to embrace Islam when those concessions had been made. Also, the Muslims who had earlier fled to Abyssinia, now returned and among them was Uthman, who later became a caliph. However, Muhammed then denied his previous revelation, which he said was nothing but 'Satanic verses.' The conversion of the Quraysh was thus withdrawn and this manoeuvre only strengthened the Meccan opposition. If this legend is true, which Muslims generally admit, we cannot be certain the rest of the Koran was not similarly inspired by Satan. It seems reasonable to assume that the 'whisperer' was the same in this case as in all others. One of the best established hadiths is the following speech from 'Allah' to Muhammed:
My servant [Muhammed] approaches me steadily through voluntary works of piety, until I come to love him; and when I love him I am his eye, his ear, his tongue, his foot, his hand. He sees through me, he hears through me, he speaks through me, he moves and feels through me. (Goldziher, Introduction, 42-43.)
If 'Allah' spoke and did everything through Muhammed, and vice versa, it is no wonder these 'Satanic verses' embarrass Muslims to this day. However, Muhammed found an escape route through another 'revelation'. He stated:
Never have we sent a single prophet or apostle before you with whose wishes Satan did not tamper. But Allah abrogates the interjections of Satan and confirms His own revelations. Allah is all-knowing and wise. (The Koran 22:52. (N. J. Dawood - with a replacement of Allah for God)).
Since we know that some verses contradict, or abrogate, others, we must conclude that several koranic passages were Satanic inspirations, which other verses have abrogated. If not, this verse is incorrect. But how could Satan manipulate Muhammed at almost any time, and utter koranic revelation through him at his will? Wherever the occult powers override true worship, the force behind the occult and New Age always marks its territory through images. Even the Islamic Crescent bears the mark of its founder, Mystery Babylon paganism.
The Egyptians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Hindus and American Indians, like the Babylonians, all believed that their gods were just representations of the one god. The ancient people, shortly after the flood, had a knowledge of the True God of Noah, Shem, and Abraham. But the worship of the True God of Noah, Shem, and Abraham soon became perverted into idolatry by the larger population when Nimrod tried to unite the whole world into a One World Government. Just as the ancients believed their various gods to be different expressions of the Only god, so did Muhammed, when he united the 360 gods at Mecca into just one god, Allah. .".[Source - Islam and Goddess Worship;http://notendur.centrum.is/~snorrigb/fem4.htm]

MUSLIM APOLOGIST, IFTIKHAR, TRIES TO WRONGLY BLAME BRITISH SCHOOLING FOR THE WICKED MISDEEDS OF MUSLIM YOUTH, BUT MUSLIM FAMILY INDOCTRINATION OF HATE, A LOVE FOR VIOLENCE, AND A DISREGARD OF PERSON AND PROPERTY OF NON-MUSLIMS.
FIRST, He said the following misleading and deceitful HOGwash.
<<[ These Pakistanis have adopted the British values of grooming young children. They are the product of the British schooling with non-Muslim monolingual teachers. I have been doing Jihad in the field of education for the last 40 years so that each and every Muslim child should be in a state funded Muslim schools with bilingual Muslim teachers as role models during their developmental periods.]>>
But the wicked acts are NOT the product of British schooling, but evil training they receive at home. How do we know this for sure? Let’s face it, the ONLY so called religion in the world which teaches many of its members hate, the love for violence, and the disrespect of non-Muslims person and property is Islam. Who has ever heard of radicalized Catholics, Methodist, Quakers, Anglicans, etc. going and being suicide bombers, bombing subways and buses, flying airplanes into buildings to murder people and destroy buildings, attacking newspapers, etc.? Nor do other religions form rape gangs in Europe, behead people on London streets and in New Jersey towns and elsewhere! Yet these non-Muslim youths that are also products of British education do NOT do the evil and wicked acts that Muslims who are also products of these same schools do; CLEARLY SHOWING THEY ARE EDUCATED IN WICKEDNESS ELSEWHERE. NOW WHERE CAN THIS WICKEDNESS BE INDOCTRINATED BUT IN THE HOME AND MOSQUE.

NO only members of Islam do things like this as part of their standard operating process (SOP) against others! To see how absurd this religion is, many of its members actually severely criticize others for trivial indiscretions such as binge drinking by a few in-mature college students, which is pure nonsense when compared to their wicked acts. They even have the audacity to propose preposterous Muslim faith based schools – only for Muslims – funded with public money – to aid in spreading hate, a love for violence, and a disrespect of the person and property of non-Muslims, the results made vividly clear by ISIS.

The recent attack and murdering of many at Charlie Hebdo (Brown) in Paris only illustrates the effectiveness of this wicked home and mosque education of some Muslims, and it could NOT be the product of British education as these wicked ones went to French schools, not British. Clearly, Islam is the enemy of all others, and is responsible for over 95% of the religiously inspired violence in the world as shown by current events throughout the world by Muslims most of which have NEVER been in a British school. Clearly, the wicked acts committed by many Muslims MUST BE DO TO EVIL AND WICKED home and mosque training, i.e., their wickedness is the product of home and mosque – period.

Let’s us face reality, Islam is a false religion based on belief in a false puppet god of Satan the Devil and his evil prophet Muhammad who was a pedophile, highwayman, and a very violent man. To learn the truth about their false god, go to,

MUSLIM CLERICS ARE LYING HYPOCRITS:

Here is the headlines of a BBC article that proves this,

<<[ Muslim Council vows action to stop children being groomed for sex
The Muslim Council of Britain has said it will take action to prevent girls being "groomed" for sex.]>>[SOURCE - RETRIEVED FROM http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-22056685?fb_ref=Default ON 1 /31/2015]
On the surface it seems great, but only Muslims form Muslim rape gangs and they do this based on what they learn at home and in the mosque. lBut what can you expect from a false religion founded by a pedophile, highwayman, and a very violent man????????????????????
REALITY: While Muslim groups have sought to discredit the police investigations by claiming "Islamophobia," it recently emerged that British police had known for more than a decade that Muslim rape gangs were targeting young girls in England, but they ignored evidence because they were afraid of being accused of racism.

OUTCOME OF MUSLIM EDUCATION HAS PROVEN TO BE INTOLERANCE AND VIOLENCE:

INTRODUCTION:

Many members of Islam keep clamoring for state funded Muslim schools, and state lofty reasons for them such as the following I received in an email fromLondon School of Islamics Trust, as follows:

<<” There are hundreds of state primary and secondary schools where Muslim pupils are in majority. In my opinion all such schools may be opted out to become Muslim Academies. This mean the Muslim children will get a decent education. Muslim schools turned out balanced citizens, more tolerant of others and less likely to succumb to criminality or extremism…”>>

Reality in every nation where there are many Muslim schools the only outcome is intolerance towards others, violence, and sexual atrocities. Definitely what no nation needs. Just look at Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Pakistan, etc., and you will readily see the outcome is NOT good. As to tolerance, it does not exist and others are persecuted daily. Violence is perennial and daily.

In fact is the U.K. even 5 th. Generation members of Islam have maintained a Prima Donna relationship to society and have failed to integrate; whereas, other religious groups such as the Sikhs, Jains, Hindus, etc. have. Instead their members have bombed buses, subways, murdered U.K. soldiers, and made the areas where they live into dangerous ‘no-go’ areas in London and other major cities.

Of course, there are good people among them – those who have NOT been mislead by their religious leaders.

So they should NEVER be granted their own state supported schools until they join/integrate into main stream U.K. society. You will see why in my three pieces of evidence when I state in brackets, do we want this in the U.K.?

Now let’s look at proofs/evidence to back up what I say with respect the outcome of Muslim education has been in many places – 3 outcome will be presented.

OUTCOME 1, PUSHED BY MUSLIM RELIGIOUS LEADERS IN EGYPT:

Islam in action against women due to education by their religious leaders.

Rape in Egypt: The Muslim Brotherhood 'Gets Even'
by Raymond Ibrahim
Human Events
June 18, 2014
http://www.meforum.org/4731/muslim-brotherhood-rape

Muslim Brotherhood sympathizers recently went on a sexual assault and rape spree in Egypt as a way of "getting even" with those women who dared to celebrate the presidential victory of Abdel Fatteh al-Sisi—the former army chief who overthrew Muslim Brotherhood rule in Egypt.
On June 8, when tens of thousands of Egyptians congregated in Tahrir Square to celebrate Sisi's inauguration, dozens of women were sexually assaulted and many more harassed. According to a statement later released by the Ministry of Interior, seven men between the ages of 15 and 49 were arrested for sexually assaulting "a number of women."
One 19-year-old female student was especially brutalized—and videotaped as she was stripped naked and sexually assaulted by a throng of men. (I saw the graphic video on YouTube, though it has since been removed; a much less graphic clip of the initial assault appears here.) A gun-waving police officer eventually managed to rescue the woman from her ordeal, though after sustaining injuries himself. [do we want this in the U.K.?]

Sexually harassing or raping those supportive of Sisi by way of "retribution" is not uncommon in Egypt. Earlier, a six-year-old boy was raped by a Muslim Brotherhood member who was "angered" at the child for singing praises to Sisi. He lured the boy into a shed, locked the doors, and proceeded to rape him, while saying, "You're always holding pictures of this Sisi and singing his praises. Come, I'll humiliate and break you—and your Sisi."

Although Western media never specify who is behind these sexual assaults—often citing "the mob"—Hala Sarhan, a popular TV host in Egypt alluded to the ultimate source that legitimizes sexual harassment and rape in Egypt, namely, Islamist preachers and leaders: [do we want this in the U.K.?]

What was said to these people [rapists] to brainwash them into think that such violations on the person and body of this young girl [the aforementioned rape victim] were permissible? … I'll tell you. The one in parliament who said this, is the same as the man who did that… And the one who told that girl that she is an infidel, is the same as the one in parliament who said that it's permissible to marry a 9-year-old girl [based on the prophet of Islam's example when he married the girl-child Aisha]. The ones who in the mosques told him that they [women] are in the pits of hell and the lures of Satan—adulteresses, that Satan lives in their bodies… This is what they tell them in the mosques! And they're so upset now [Islamist preachers] because they can no longer continue to preach like this in the mosques! We thank you minister of religious endowments for stopping this mockery! [The new Egyptian government has cracked down on radical preachers.] Before [under Morsi], every guy that yelled and stomped got himself a pulpit to preach such thoughts into the minds of the youth—and then they went out thinking they are doing jihad. You see, they have this thing in their mind that says "If we curse or attack an infidel, that is jihad"…. Concerning the previous cases of sexual harassment, they [Islamist authorities] told people, "Why did she [any violated woman] leave her house in the first place? She deserves what she got!" They told them, "Your sister needs to be circumcised"; told them, "In the house, beat her and discipline her, break her bones; and if she refuses to have sex with you, saying she's tired or sick, curse her with the angels till the sun rises." We allowed these people to fill their minds with such ideas! [do we want this in the U.K.?]

Such honesty is reminiscent of an Egyptian op-ed that appeared after a young Coptic woman was murdered by a pro-Brotherhood mob because they identified her as a Christian:

Those who killed the young and vulnerable Mary Sameh George, for hanging a cross in her car, are not criminals, but rather wretches who follow those who legalized for them murder, lynching, dismemberment, and the stripping bare of young Christian girls—without every saying "kill." [Islamic cleric] Yassir Burhami and his colleagues who announce their hate for Christians throughout satellite channels and in mosques—claiming that hatred of Christians is synonymous with love for Allah—they are the true killers who need to be tried and prosecuted.
At any rate, using sexual harassment and rape to force people to comply with Islamist agendas has a long history, especially in Egypt. In 2011, during the "Arab Spring," when the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamists were released from prison, legitimized and eventually rose to power, sexual harassment skyrocketed, as one graph showed. Moreover, UN research done in 2013, when Morsi was president, suggested that 99.3% of Egyptian women had experienced sexual harassment. [do we want this in the U.K.?]

Indeed, in February, 2013, hundreds of Egyptian women took to the streets of Tahrir Square to protest this nonstop harassment. They held slogans like "Silence is unacceptable, my anger will be heard," and "A safe square for all; Down with sexual harassment." "Marchers also shouted chants against President Mohamed Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood group from which he hails," wrote Al Ahram Online.
The response was more sexual harassment and rapes. One woman was gang-raped for approximately 20 minutes and nearly died. And as Hala Sarhan pointed out, elements from the then Islamist-heavy government under Morsi blamed the women themselves, saying that:

women taking part in protests bear the responsibility of being sexually harassed, [and] describing what happens in some demonstrators' tents as "prostitution." Major General Adel Afify, member of the committee representing the Salafi Asala Party, criticized female protesters, saying that they "know they are among thugs. They should protect themselves before requesting that the Interior Ministry does so. By getting herself involved in such circumstances, the woman has 100 percent responsibility."

Likewise, popular Salafi preacher Abu Islam sarcastically blamed the victims:

"They tell you women are a red line. They tell you that naked women [i.e., not wearing veils or hijabs]—who are going to Tahrir Square because they want to be raped—are a red line! And they ask Morsi and the Brotherhood to leave power!" Abu Islam added that these women activists are going to Tahrir Square not to protest but to be sexually abused because they had wanted to be raped. "They have no shame, no fear and not even feminism. Practice your feminism, sheikha! It is a legitimate right for you to be a woman," he said. "And by the way, 90 percent of them are crusaders [i.e. Christian Copts] and the remaining 10 percent are widows who have no one to control them. You see women talking like monsters," he added. [do we want this in the U.K.?]

The only silver lining in this cloud of Islamist rape that hovers over Egypt is that the differences between Morsi and his Brotherhood government, and Sisi and the post-Brotherhood government, are already apparent. In response to the endemic sexual harassment in Egypt, the new government passed a law criminalizing all forms of sexual harassment… A new article, which has been issued into power, adds a harsh punishment to those found guilty of unwanted sexual contact…. Other amended laws, under article 306, declare that those found guilty of verbal sexual harassment in a private or public place will be sentenced to a minimum of six months in prison and fined no less than EGP 3,000 ( 420).

When I recently asked some analyst colleagues in Egypt if Morsi ever took any such measures against sexual harassment, the quip I received most was along the lines of "Take measures? He was the one ordering sexual harassment against his female critics."

Still, and in keeping with Western MSM journalism, Sisi, who at least appears to be trying to take some measures against sexual harassment, is now being portrayed by the Guardian in a cynical light—while Morsi who did nothing and whose Islamist allies were responsible for inciting violence against women got a free pass—just like the New York Times recently tried to blame Sisi for the plight of Egypt's religious minorities, without mentioning that it was often Morsi and the Islamists who put them there in the first place.

Raymond Ibrahim, author of Crucified Again: Exposing Islam's New War on Christians (Regnery, April, 2013) is a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center and an Associate Fellow at the Middle East Forum.

THE REALITY:

If a religion fails to clean house of evil and wicked men when they are discovered, and especially of evil and wicked men/women taking the lead in a congregation, and/or congregations such as Pastors, Ministers, Sheiks, Imams, Bishops, Cardinals, Etc., then the religion is responsible for their wrong doing. Some religions such as Islam have never cleaned house of evil and wicked individuals when they are discovered and that religion has been violent since its beginning, and many of its members lust for violence in such acts as beheading of others, suscide bombers, makers of IEDs, etc. do to the teachings of their groups religious leaders. One notable example of an evil and wicked individual Islam well knows of who is a leader of a large group of members of Islam is Sheik Osama bin Ladin. Of course, Islam, is NOT the only religion that fails to take effective action against evil and wicked individuals and leaders of groups among them, another is the Catholic and Angalican churches that for many years just moved pedophiles to a new congregation when they were uncovered as the world's news media has so well identified. Groups seeking to keep themselves clean of evil and wicked individuals that sneak into their group take the appropriate action; to wit, they throw them out.

Now many religions seek to escape reality by claiming they have no provisions within their religion for purging out these wicked ones, but this is no excuse since it is their failure to provide measures for purging out these wicked ones and no one else’s.

Now let’s look at one such religion that tries to escape their responsibility for cleaning house so to speak.

ISLAM FAILS TO CLEAN HOUSE:

Now of course it is important to recognize that not all Muslims are terrorist and jihadists nor refuse to recognize the property rights of others, it is likewise equally important to recognize that all jihadists are members of Islam. Islam is totally responsible for their actions as they tacitly approve of their evil wrong doing and have never cleaned house of these wicked ones. To wit, by not doing so, they have taken on the responsibility for their wrongful actions upon themselves. Yes, of course they are not the only religion that has failed to clean house; thus taking on the guilt of these wrong doers. Any religion, no exception, which fails to clean house is nothing but an evil false religion. And as previously stated, ‘Now many religions seek to escape reality by claiming they have no provisions within their religion for purging out these wicked ones, but this is no excuse since it is their failure to provide measures for purging out these wicked ones and no one else’s.’

OUTCOME 2, ISLAM IS INTOLERANT OF OTHERS AND DENIES THEM THEIR HUMAN RIGHTS:

REALITY, They openly commit crimes against humanity with respect to their intolerance in regards to Christians, read reality, the evidence.

Islam: 'Appalling and Abhorrent' in the Eyes of a Blind World?
by Raymond Ibrahim
Human Events
May 21, 2014

http://www.meforum.org/3829/islam-apostasy-christians

A few days ago in Sudan, an eight-month pregnant wife and mother was sentenced to death by hanging for refusing to renounce Christ and embrace Islam. According to theLA Times:

The court also ordered Ibrahim to be flogged for having sexual relations with her husband, since her marriage is not recognized by officials.

Ibrahim refused a court order Sunday giving her several days to renounce her Christian faith, which resulted in the sentencing Thursday….

Ibrahim, currently jailed with her son, will be allowed to give birth and raise her second child until the age of 2 years but then faces execution. Sudanese authorities refuse to allow Ibrahim's son [an American citizen] to reside with her husband because the husband is Christian.

Tragic as this story is, it is also immensely commonplace in Islamic countries. Why? Because Islamic law does in fact punish the apostate from Islam—including with death—in accordance with the commands of the Muslim prophet Muhammad. Indeed, many Muslim clerics believe that "If the [death] penalty for apostasy was ignored, there would not be an Islam today; Islam would have ended on the death of the prophet," as top Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi once declared on live television.

Of more significance is the Amnesty International statement concerning Meriam Ibrahim's plight. While its criticism is aimed at Sudan's legal system, the statement unwittingly provides a glimpse of how the international community would view Islam if it could actually understand that these human rights abuses are not products of this or that government or regime, but of Islam itself.

According to the Amnesty International statement:
The fact that a woman has been sentenced to death for her religious choice, and to flogging for being married to a man of an allegedly different religion is appalling and abhorrent.

Adultery and apostasy are acts which should not be considered crimes at all. It is flagrant breach of international human rights law. The right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, which includes the freedom to hold beliefs, is far-reaching and profound; it encompasses freedom of thought on all matters, personal conviction and the commitment to religion or belief (emphasis added).

If, as Amnesty International declares, flogging and executing a person, in this case a pregnant woman, because of her "religious choice" and marrying a man of a "different religion" are "appalling and abhorrent"; if they are a "flagrant breach of international human rights law"—what do we make of the fact that Muslim converts to Christianity are punished and sometimes killed all across the Islamic world?

Consider the following anecdotes, a few examples, most from 2013 alone (culled from my monthly "Muslim Persecution of Christians" series and listed in country alphabetical order):

Afghanistan: A member of Afghanistan's Parliament said that all Afghans who convert to Christianity should be executed. His exact words: "Afghani citizens continue to convert to Christianity in India.

Numerous Afghanis have become Christians in India. This is an offense to Islamic Laws and according to the Quran they need to be executed." As one of many live examples, Said Musa, an amputee and father of six young children, was once charged with apostasy and pressured to renounce Christianity, but he refused. So he was imprisoned, suffering "sexual abuse, beatings, mockery, and sleep deprivation because of his faith in Jesus."

Algeria: The wife of Ali Touahir, a 52-year-old Muslim convert to Christianity, left him, taking their seven-year-old daughter, and is divorcing him in court. One of his wife's brothers openly threatened to kill apostate. The wife's lawyer asserted: "It is not possible that my client [the Muslim wife] still remain under the same roof with a man who has renounced his religion, as he became apostate; and we are not ignorant of the punishment that is due an apostate under sharia [death]."

Cameroon: Two Muslim converts to Christianity were shot dead and two others wounded, in the Christian-majority African nation where Muslims make approximately 20 percent of the population. One of them was previously threatened by the Nigerian Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram to return to Islam or "face Allah's wrath." [do we want this in the U.K.?]

Egypt: A court sentenced an entire family—Nadia Mohamed Ali and her seven children—to fifteen years in prison for converting to Christianity. A born Christian, Nadia had earlier converted to Islam and married a Muslim man; reconverting back to Christianity after the death of her husband, she attempted to reflect this change formally on her identity card and her children's, which created suspicions among security, who arrested the family. Separately and days ago in Egypt, after a former Muslim woman on live television announced her apostasy and lack of faith in Muhammad as the "Messenger of Allah," she was insulted, ridiculed, and thrown off the set by the host.

Iran: Imprisoned American pastor Saeed Abedini was reported as "facing physical and psychological torture at the hands of captors demanding he renounce his beliefs." The 32-year-old married father of two, who left his home in Boise, Idaho, to help start an orphanage in his former country, once detailed "horrific pressures" and "death threats" in a letter to family members: "My eyes get blurry, my body does not have the strength to walk, and my steps become very weak and shaky… They are only waiting for one thing…for me to deny Christ. But they will never get this from me." The imprisonment and torture of Muslim converts to Christianity in Iran is quite common (recall the plight of Pastor Yousef Nadarkhani). According to Adnkronos News, "renouncing the Muslim faith is punishable with the death penalty [in Iran]. Over 300 Iranian converts to Christianity have been arrested over the past two years, according to opposition websites." [do we want this in the U.K.?]

Kyrgyz: After a young Muslim girl converted to Christianity, her parents "wanted her to recant and renounce her faith in Christ, so they began to beat her systematically till she lost consciousness… It was winter when all of this happened, so her parents put her into a cold room and kept her there for several days. Still they were unable to break her spirit. They then started pulling her hair and put her face against the stove, burning her face. In spite of this, she remained faithful."

Morocco: A fatwa, or Islamic decree, by the government's top religious authority, calls for the execution of those Muslims who leave Islam, causing many Christian converts to live in fear. Lamented one Christian: "The fatwa showed us that our country is still living in the old centuries—no freedom, no democracy. Unfortunately, we feel that we aren't protected. We can be arrested or now even killed any time and everywhere. The majority of the Christian Moroccan leaders have the same feeling. We are more followed now by the secret police than before. Only the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ gives us courage and peace." [do we want this in the U.K.?]

Pakistan: A 16-year-old Muslim boy who converted to Christianity was abducted in Peshawar by Taliban-linked Islamic militants "and his fate may already be marked, as he is considered 'guilty of apostasy.'" As one Pakistani pastor explained, "If a young Muslim converts to Christianity in Pakistan, he is forced to live in hiding. Every Muslim might feel compelled to kill him. The change of religion is not punished by the civil law, it is punishable by Islamic law. For this reason cases of Muslim conversion to Christianity are very rare and some convert in secret." Muhammad Kamran, a Muslim convert to Christianity, exemplifies the pastor's words. After he told his wife of his conversion, she abused and exposed him, resulting in his being severely beaten by local Muslims. In his words: "No one was willing to let me live the life I wanted [as a Christian]—they say Islam is not a religion of compulsion, but no one has been able to tell me why Muslims who don't find satisfaction in the religion [such as myself] become liable to be killed." [do we want this in the U.K.?]

Saudi Arabia: After a woman was exposed as having converted to Christianity, she was sentenced to six years in prison and 300 lashes. Although she managed to flee the nation and went into hiding, the Christian Lebanese man accused of introducing her to Christianity received six years in prison and 300 lashes.

Somalia: The Al-Qaeda linked Al Shabaab ("The Youth"), which has vowed to cleanse the Horn of Africa of all Christian presence, has slaughtered countless Muslim converts to Christianity—men, women, and children—in the last few years. Most recently, Al Shabaab shot to death 42-year-old Fartun Omar, a widow and mother of five, for converting to Christianity. Months earlier, they had killed her husband for the same "crime," and had been hunting for the wife. In a separate incident, Al Shabaab publicly executed a 28-year-old man after determining that he had in fact become a Christian. Al Shabaab Muslims also seized Hassan Gulled, 25, for leaving Islam and converting to Christianity, andimprisoned him, and tortured him. According to local sources, "Al Shabaab have been torturing him to see whether he would deny his Christian faith. Since last week, no information has surfaced concerning Gulled. There is a possibility that he could have been killed." [do we want this in the U.K.?]

Tanzania: At the time pregnant and with three children, Lukia Khalid explained how when she told her Muslim husband that she had converted to Christianity, "He threatened to kill me if I was to stay with him. I then decided to escape that night with my three children to a neighbor's house…. We left only with the clothes that we were wearing. The command was so urgent that we could not wait any longer. We had to leave immediately." Last heard, they were living in destitute conditions.

One can go on and on with examples (see Crucified Again: Exposing Islam's New War on Christians, pages 96-135, for a more thorough expose, including on the doctrine and history of apostasy in Islam, and dozens of more recent examples).

Returning to Meriam Ibrahim, the pregnant Sudanese mother set to be executed for refusing to recant Christ and embrace Islam, some questions and observations are in order:

Are all the other anecdotes listed above not equally "appalling and abhorrent"—to use Amnesty International's words describing Meriam's specific plight? Are they not all a "flagrant breach of international human rights law"?

If so, and if the international community is actually serious about putting a stop to them, should it not try to ascertain the true source behind them?

After all, considering that Muslim converts to Christianity are being attacked all throughout the Islamic world—including in nations as diverse as Algeria, Iran, Pakistan, Egypt, and Kyrgyz—surely the source is not something as simple as "Sudan's legal system."

The fact is, Muslim converts to Christianity are even under attack in Europe. In Norway alone, for example, two Iranian converts out for a walk were stabbed with knives by masked men shouting "infidels!" One of the men stabbed had converted in Iran, was threatened there, and immigrated to Norway, thinking he could escape Islam's apostasy penalty. Earlier, an Afghan convert to Christianity was scalded with boiling water and acid at a Norwegian refugee processing center: "If you do not return to Islam, we will kill you," his attackers told him.
Of course, the true source for all these attacks on Muslim converts to Christianity—in nations that do not share race, language, culture, politics, or economics—is Islam itself. Anyone with common sense, anyone with the ability to be honest with oneself, must concede as much. There is no other reasonable way to explain such identical patterns of abuse in such a wide array of nations. [do we want this in the U.K.?]

But so long as the international community and human rights organizations fail to employ some common sense and honesty—fail to call a spade a spade—so will they ensure that countless more innocent humans like Meriam Ibrahim continue to suffer "appalling and abhorrent" treatment, simply for trying to exercise their "right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion" under Islam.

OUTCOME 3, ISLAM’S TREATMENT OF NON-ISLAMIC WOMEN WORSE THAN NAZI GERMANY:

Islam, Slavery and Rape
May 9, 2014 by Jamie Glazov 21 Comments
Jamie Glazov is Frontpage Magazine's editor. He holds a Ph.D. in History with a specialty in Russian, U.S. and Canadian foreign policy. He is the author of the critically acclaimed and best-selling, United in Hate: The Left’s Romance with Tyranny and Terror. His new book is High Noon For America. He is the host of Frontpage’s television show, The Glazov Gang, and he can be reached at jamieglazov11@gmail.com. Visit his site at JamieGlazov.com.

Boko Haram’s leader Abubakar Shekau recently made a video in which he taunted the mothers of the girls he kidnapped and bragged, while praising Allah, how he will sell them on the market. [do we want this in the U.K.?]

Frontpage editors have decided to shed light on the Islamic context of Shekau’s barbaric acts and words by reprinting a segment of an interviewfrom our November 23, 2007 issue, in which Dr. Bill Warner discussed the inspiration and sanctioning that Muslims find in Islam for slavery and rape:

Frontpage Interview’s guest today is Bill Warner, the director of the Center for the Study of Political Islam (CSPI) and spokesman forpoliticalislam.com. CSPI’s goal is to teach the doctrine of political Islam through its books and it has produced an eleven book series on political Islam. Mr. Warner did not write the CSPI series, but he acts as the agent for a group of scholars who are the authors. The Center’s latest book is The Submission of Women and Slaves, Islamic Duality.

FP: Bill Warner, welcome back to Frontpage Magazine. This is the second part in our two-part series with you on the Center’s most recent book. In the first part we discussed Islam and its doctrine on the submission of women. In this second and final part we will discuss the matter of slavery.

Warner: It is a pleasure to work with Frontpage.
FP: So tell us in general where Islam stands on slavery.
Warner: Islam’s stand on slavery is based on its political principles of submission and duality. The principle of submission could not be clearer. By definition a slave is the most submissive of all people. You become a slave only when you have no more choices. A slave has completely submitted to a master.
The principle of duality is shown by the fact that Islam does not enslave Muslims, only kafirs (non-Muslims). Since only kafirs are enslaved, it assures that more of the world submits to Islam.
Islamic slavery is based on the Trilogy of the Koran, the Sira (Mohammed’s life) and the Hadith (the Traditions of Mohammed). All three texts say that slavery is permitted, ethical, desirable and a virtue. There is not one single negative word about slavery.
Slavery is seen as a process that brings kafirs to Islam. It is a virtue to free slaves, but Mohammed only freed slaves who submitted to Islam. If the kafir slave does not submit, then their children will. So given enough time, slaves convert to Islam. That is one of the reasons that Islam sees slavery as a positive. [do we want this in the U.K.?]

Of course, there is another reason that Islam sees slavery as being so “good” and that is the money. Mohammed and the other jihadists made a fortune out of enslaving kafirs. Mohammed used the money for more jihad. So slavery financed the spread of Islam and jihad from the beginning. [Muhammad should be tried posthumously for his crimes to show the world how bad his crimes against humanity were.]

FP: What were the ingredients of Mohammed’s own life in terms of slavery?

Warner: Mohammed is the perfect pattern for all humanity and his life was saturated in slavery. When his mother died, it was a freed slave who nursed him. His first wife owned slaves. One of his first converts was a slave. His closest friend, Abu Bakr, traded one of his black kafir slaves for a Muslim who was enslaved by a kafir.

But all of this was small change compared to his envolvement with slavery once he turned to jihad. In his first major battle at Badr, he stood by and prayed as his henchmen beat and tortured captured slaves to get information about the enemy kafirs.

Slaves made Mohammed’s pulpit. Slaves mended his cloths, cooked his food, and did every thing that a slave does for the master. He gave away slaves as gifts and received them as gifts. He went to war to kill the males so that the remaining people would surrender to be sold as slaves. Mohammed sold slaves on both the retail and wholesale markets.
He offered captured slaves their freedom if they would first agree that he was the prophet of Allah. A kafir slave then became a slave of Allah, because all Muslims are slaves of Allah. For a slave, the religion of Mohammed started and ended with slavery.

FP: Can you talk a bit about Islam and sexual slavery?
Warner: All morality in Islam is patterned after the example of Mohammed. Everything that he did and said defines what is permitted or “good”. Mohammed repeatedly sanctioned forced sex (rape) with kafir females after they were captured. The Hadith clearly reports that he got first choice of the women. In one case, he repeatedly demanded one particular woman for himself and swapped two other kafir slave women for his choice. So if Mohammed was involved in the rape of kafirs, then rape is a virtue, not a sin or error. [do we want this in the U.K.?]

When Mohammed destroyed the B. Qurayza tribe, all of the adult male Jews were beheaded, so that no husbands were left. Mohammed then took the children and gave them to Muslims to raise as Muslims and he sold off the Jewish women as slaves.

We know from another story that the women were divided into sex slaves and domestic slaves. In one scene, a jihadist is trying to obtain a high ransom for a woman and he is told that her breasts are flat and her mouth is cold, so her value was less. In short, she was only good for work around the house, not in the bedroom.

The Hadith tells of another story where the Muslims used coitus interruptus to avoid impregnating the kafir sex slaves. The reason was purely for business. If the kafir sex slave was pregnant, then she was worth less money.

Islamic doctrine says that kafir women should not be used for prostitutes, only for the pleasure of the master.
When Mohammed attacked the Jews at Khaybar, many moral precedents were set. Sexual slavery received an entire set of rules. Muslims were not to rape pregnant or menstruating women until they had delivered the child or finished their periods. At Khaybar, Mohammed’s god Allah, announced that even married women were fair game for rape.

Mohammed only killed some of the Jews at Khaybar. The male and female survivors were needed to work the land as dhimmis. (The original dhimmis were semi-slaves with no civil rights. Today, dhimmis are ignorant kafirs who apologize for Islam.) Since Islam needed the men to work, husbands were left alive. That was the reason that the Koran said that in this case, even with the husbands looking on, it was good to rape the women. [do we want this in the U.K.?]

Sexual slavery was not only fun and profitable for the Muslim men, but rape was a powerful tactic of war, then and today. The women are forced into submission to Muslim men and the husbands are humiliated. Humiliated men are weakened men, so more kafirs were less able to resist Islam.

For some time Mohammed’s favorite sex partner was a Christian slave from Egypt named Mary. One of Mohammed’s wives caught him in some state of intimacy with Mary in the wife’s bedroom and raised hell. Mohammed promised to not do it again and moved Mary to her own apartment in Medina.

Mohammed had received Mary and her sister as gifts. He gave her sister away to a Muslim poet. He was used to giving away sex slaves. He gave several of his top lieutenants kafir sex slaves. Umar, who later became caliph, gave his sex slave to his son. [As an aside, when he was caliph, his son got drunk and Umar beat him to death.]

FP: This institution of Islamic sexual slavery isn’t just a reality of the past is it?

Warner: Everything that has been said up to now is not only history; it is Sunna (the example of the perfect pattern of action and morality found in Mohammed). So today we don’t have a beautiful blonde Christian girl on the block in Mecca, but we have continuous and ongoing rapes by Muslims in kafir cities. This goes on everywhere that Islam goes because it is Sunna.
This is a continuous 1400-year history of jihad. In every detailed history that comes from the original documents from history, rape is a constant. You have to look in the original documents, since our historians refuse to report it in so-called history books.

Rape is Sunna. Rape is not a sin. Rape is permitted and encouraged by Mohammed and the Koran. Islam is the only political system in the world that includes rules for rape and war. Rape is jihad. How good can it get? A Muslim gets to rape a kafir girl and get heaven credits. All jihad is a ticket to Paradise.

The most disgusting aspect of the Islamic rape of kafirs is not the rapes, but the kafir response. Kafirs become dhimmis by ignoring the rapes. I challenge you to find one, even one, mention of Islamic rape in the history books.

Islamic rape is more taboo than the N-word in the media. At least the N-word is acknowledged to exist. Even unicorns exist in media fantasy. But Islamic rape is forbidden to even exist as a fantasy.
And to reach a fevered rant: our so-called “feminist” scholars are absolutely intellectually and morally bankrupt hypocrites. They are traitors to our culture and a shame and a disgrace. They remain silent in the face of heinous crimes against women. They are arch-dhimmis when they refuse to speak of the Sunna, history and current rapes of our daughters, mothers, and sisters.

CONCLLUSION:

NEVER have government funded Muslim schools until intolerance and call for violence is written out of the Quran.

NEVER be fooled by supporters of Islam’s nice sounding B.S. Satan the Devil fooled the first human pair, but do not let members of Islam fool you.

MUSLIMS ALWAYS TRY TO PUT THE BLAME ON OTHERS FOR THEIR OWN WRONG ACTS:
Members of Islam always accuse others of causing them to do wicked acts, but it is their own evil drive caused by hate, a love for violence, and no regard for the person and property of non-Muslims.
No where is this more evident than in the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York City owned by a Jew, Mr. Silverstein, who had NEVER done any of them any wrong, and the murder of about 3,000 people who had never done them any wrong. Also, this wicked act clearly shows they were anti-Semitic haters.
Here is proof of their putting the blame on others for their own wicked acts in the posting of a Muslim apologist, Iftikhar:
<<{ It is the West that stirred the trouble that led to 9/11. That attack was a desperate act of by men prepared to lose their life }>>
But for further proof that all their terrorist acts are actually a part of their evil plan to dominate everyone else, here is a detailed account of their wicked plan.
Arab Imperialism Masked as Religion Threatens World Tranquility/Peace:

INTRODUCTION:

Since its inception Islam claims to be a peaceful religion, but in practice it has been anything but peaceful. In fact, it was responsible for among other things, bringing on or being the cause of the Crusades, but trying to throw the blame for them on others. Let's look at the facts, <<<" Throughout history Islam which claims to be a religion of peace has attacked apostate (counterfeit) Christians and has attempted to steal land and people from them, and then cried fowl when they struck back. How ridicules and hypocritical that is for any group; to wit, to initiate blood guilt and then yell when the other group defends itself and strikes back.

For example, Islam yells about the wrongs of the apostate (counterfeit) Christian Crusades that started in 1095 with the First Crusade under the directions of Pope Urban II, and ended with the Ninth Crusade in 1289. Of course, the apostate (counterfeit) Christians committed many atrocities such as their wrong doing against the Jews in Jerusalem by the Franks, one of the groups making up the Crusader forces. However, in reality, Islam was responsible for all that occurred as they lit-the-fuse that caused the crusades to take place with their blood guilty war like ways as we shall see in this article with facts that can be checked by all."[source - Religion of Peace That Loves War:, by Iris the Preacher, 2006]>>>. And, <<<" When members of Islam move to Australia, Canada, England, France, Spain, US, Denmark, etc. they want religious freedom, they demand it, but do they want to grant the same basic human right of conscience to others? NO, they definitely do not. This denial is shown to be the case from ancient times. In fact, this denial was actually the 'trigger' for the Crusades that Islam so blames the so called Christians for, but fail to state that they brought the Crusades on themselves by their actions. How so? Let's look at the facts from history." [source - Islam Is Against Freedom of Conscience Yet Wants It For Themselves: by Iris the Preacher, 2006]>>>. And an encyclopedia says, <<<" <<" A turning point in western attitudes towards the east came in the year 1009, when the Fatimid caliph of Cairo, al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah, had the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem destroyed. His successor permitted the Byzantine Empire to rebuild it under stringent circumstances, and pilgrimage was again permitted, but many stories began to be circulated in the West about the cruelty of Muslims toward Christian pilgrims; these stories then played an important role in the development of the crusades later in the century."[source - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia]>>>.

Today, many in Islam decry the temporary occupation of Iraq by a coalition that wants nothing better than to leave, but does not see how it can until members of Islam stop killing each other because they belong to different flavors of Islam - until the country is stabilized. Yet, these same members of Islam, many of which have been occupying other's lands for centuries see no wrong in so doing - what a corrupt double standard. For example, they wrongly occupy much of Palestine, but the entire Palestine was given not to the descendants of Abraham's son, Ishmael, from whom the Arabs descended, but to the descendants of Abraham's son, Isaac, by none other than the true God (YHWH) of Abraham, Isaac, Ishmael, and Jacob, creator of all there is, himself, as clearly recorded in Numbers 34:1-28, "And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:) 3 Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward: 4 And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadeshbarnea, and shall go on to Hazaraddar, and pass on to Azmon: 5 And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea. 6 And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border. 7 And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor: 8 From mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad: 9 And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazarenan: this shall be your north border. 10 And ye shall point out your east border from Hazarenan to Shepham: 11 And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward: 12 And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about. 13 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the LORD commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe: 14 For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their fathers, have received their inheritance; and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance: 15 The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising. 16 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 17 These are the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun. 18 And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance. 19 And the names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh. 20 And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.
21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon. 22 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli. 23 The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod. 24 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan. 25 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach. 26 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan. 27 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi. 28 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.
29 These are they whom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan." (Authorized King James Bible; AV).

This shows extreme greed and a lust for violence on the part of many of the descendants of Abraham's son Ishmael as they already control over 98% of the middle east, but do not even want the descendants of Abraham's son Isaac to have the less than 2% that was given to them.

Now we shall deal with how Islam was violent from the beginning and really represented Arab imperialism with a religious façade.

EARLY ARAB IMPERIALISM AND LUST FOR VIOLENCE:

First an overview of Arab Imperialism:

As one writer put it, <<<" Muslims from all over the world are feared as terrorists in the Western world. Is it a propaganda or misunderstanding? It is neither. Frankly stated, it is the truth.
Islam has divided humankind into two perpetually hostile groups, i.e. the Muslims and the non-Muslims. The former have the duty to hate their own fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters and countrymen if they practise a different faith. The Muslims must force the infidels to embrace Islam, using any means including murder, rape, loot, arson, deception and treason.
Until a country has embraced Islam, it is legally considered a battlefield (Dar-ul-Harb) and the Muslims are obliged to betray their own motherland through civil and military action. Once it is converted to the Muslim ideology, it ranks as a Land of Peacxe (Dar-us-Salaam) but at a very high cost to one's national pride because then it exists as a spiritual and cultural satellite of Arabia. This is what makes Islam the subtle tool of Arab Imperialism.
Islamic ideology, which is based on intense hatred of the non-Muslims, is beginning to loom as Islamophobia in the West. The recent Osostlander Report on fundamentalism by the European Parliament has recognised this peril. Though it has been suppressed by the majority vote for the time being, its spectre shall rise again and again until the Muslims start respecting the human rights of free speech and action."[source - ISLAM: The Arab Imperialism, by Anwar Shaikh]>>>.

And another historian said, <<<" In the year 620 AD, the prophet sent Khaled-ebn-valid to the Bani Hares tribe to make them become moselms, and emphasized that should they refuse to become moslems, he should make war with them. Khaled (who was famous for his massacres of the tribes of Arabia) reminded the leaders of the Bani Hares tribe to "convert to islam in order to remain alive". The leaders of Bani Hares, fearing the lives of their people, converted to islam, and went with Khaled to see mohammad. Mohammad emphasized to the representatives of the Bani Hares tribe that "if khaled had not written that you have converted to islam, I would have rolled your heads beneath your feet"

source: History of Tabbari [arab historian]
volume 4, pages 1256-1258

The slogans [I dont know the meaning of the first phrase] and "there is no obligation in religion" did not stop the prophet mohammad to summarily behead followers of other religions ("people of the book" [ie, jews]) for not converting to islam, such that in the case of the Bani Quraizeh tribe, after they surrendred following a war [with mohammad's army], it was ordered [by mohammad] that 900 of their men and youth be beheaded, and their property was taken as war booty, their women and children as slaves, and devided among the moslems. (1) Tabbari [arab historian] reminds us that "the prophet ordered that holes [mass graves] be dug in the ground, and "imam" ali and zobeir cut off their heads in mohammad's presense." [see picture below] (2)
In such wars, the moslem arabs did not even refrain from sleaping with [having sex] the married wives of the captured men, but ofcourse this was also permitted in the qoran.(3)

And in a book review by Daniel Pipes of "The Arab Imperialism" By Anwar Shaikh, Sheikh noted that according to the Qur'an", <<<" Building on an earlier study with a similar title, Shaikh portrays Islam as a political movement which has conquered peoples around the world. Born a Muslim in India in 1928 and so fervent in his early faith that he killed three non-Muslim men in the riots of 1947, Shaikh has renounced Islam and become a leading spokesman against it. Shaikh sees Islam as a form of Arab imperialism, one he finds far more enduring than the British variant: if the latter required armies to be maintained, the former does not. Instead, it has become self-perpetuating by virtue of having conquered peoples' minds.

Like many anti-Islamic polemicists, Shaikh dwells on the career of the Prophet Muhammad, searching it out for inconsistencies (his attitude toward freedom of religion before and after reaching power) and unsavoriness (the Islamic portrayal of paradise shows that, in Islam, "sexual gratification is the ultimate goal of life"). Shaikh goes beyond other critiques in finding that the Qur'an portrays Muhammad to be God's superior and even "the only God"; from this he concludes that "Islam is Muhammadanism." The purpose of this religion, he finds, is "invented Islam to glorify Arabia." And the scheme worked, bringing "imperial dignity to the Arabs," subordinating huge numbers of non-Arab converts and their offspring to "Arab cultural hegemony," and making them permanent allies for the Arab cause. In his pungent words, every non-Arab Muslim has "turned into a moth, restless to cremate itself on the flame of Arab imperialism."

Shaikh has lived in Great Britain since 1956; he sees his writings, which have prompted some twenty edicts against his life, as his way to atone for the three murders a half century ago. Unlike Salman Rushdie, he lives openly ("Everyone is aware of my address") and, when asked if he expects to die violently, replies, "I want to die honourably."[source - Daniel Pipes & Middle East Quarterly June 1999; and references, Islam The Arab Imperialism By Anwar Shaikh] >>>. And in another book review of the same boo, Ibn al Rawandi, says, <<<" Shaikh attacks head on the muslim claim that Islam is a universal religion addressed by God to the whole of mankind, constituting the final revelation delivered by the final prophet. Far from this being the case, Shaikh sees Islam as the product of the genius of Muhammad, who masterfully exploited the ancient Middle Eastern notion of prophethood in pursuit of his own and his people's "dominance urge", which sounds very like Nietzsche's Will to Power.
Shaikh begins by pointing out the inherent absurdities in the concept of prophethood. How it in effect puts belief in prophets above belief in God, since the prophet is supposedly God's messenger and mouthpiece, implying that He is incapable of communicating with humans in any other way. The muslim idea that Muhammad is the final prophet, confirming and fulfilling all previous prophets, is seen as Muhammad's masterstroke, putting the kibosh on any change or innovation.

On the basis of the text of the Quran, underwritten by the traditional biography of the Prophet, Shaikh discerns a progress in Muhammad's expression of his prophetic role. In the beginning, when he was politically weak, he claimed to be a mortal and humble servant of Allah, but when he became strong, after his supposed move from Mecca to Medina: "he began changing his tone, until he was able to claim himself to be Allah's Superior". (75) The proof of this is Q.33:56 "Lo! Allah and his angels shower praises on the Prophet (Muhammad). O ye who believe also shower praises on him and salute him with a worthy salutation". Shaikh claims that the word translated "shower praises on him", really means worship and is usually applied to God.

According to Shaikh the arrogance of Muhammad is fully expressed in the arrogance of the religion he invented toward all nonArabs, especially the Jews. The notorious episode of the Jewish tribe of the Banu Quraiza, in which Muhammad is supposed to have overseen the slaughter of 800 Jewish men, is seen by Shaikh as: "a pathetic model of ethnic cleansing. The Jews suffered this fate when they refused to become Arabs. We cannot find an example of such extreme nationalism so early in history. Yet the muslims believe that Islam does not recognize nationalism. They insist that it is a message of international brotherhood". (1034) As regards history this is not quite true of course. It was routine in the ancient world that when a city was conquered the men were killed and the women and children sold into slavery. However that may be, Shaikh is undoubtedly right to emphasize the essentially Arab nature of Islam, and how that ethnic identity was imposed on those they conquered."

The MEMRI - The Middle East Media Research Institute, Special Dispatch Series - No. 1569 said, in quoting France's Berber Leader Belkacem Lounes, said, <<<"'There Is No Worse Colonialism Than That of the Pan-Arabist Clan that Wants to Dominate Our People' [Belkacem Lounes, president of the World Amazigh Congress, wrote an open letter to Libyan leader Mu'ammar Qaddafi in response to the latter's March 1 speech in which he denied the existence of a Berber or Amazigh people in North Africa. In his letter, dated April 10, Lounes protested Qaddafi's statements, saying that the 30 million Amazigh living today in North Africa cannot be ignored. He added that the Amazigh had played a central role in the fight against European colonialism, but that since independence they had been oppressed by the "internal colonialism" of pan-Arabism, which he labels an imperialist ideology. Lounes stated that it was archaic to consider diversity a danger, and calls on the North African governments to commit to democracy and human rights.]
"What Worse Offense to Elementary Rights is There Than Denying The Existence Of a People?"
"... I waited until April to respond to your speech, since it is during this month that the Amazigh people celebrates every year... a great moment in its history, known as the 'Tafsut Imazighen' ('Amazigh Spring'). For us, this is a celebration of our memory, of our spirit of resistance to all forms of imperialism, and of our love of liberty...
"The people of whom you spoke [in your speech] are women, men, and children who speak their Amazigh language daily. They are women, men, and children who live every day their Amazigh identity, which your words injured. What worse offense to elementary rights is there than denying the existence of a people?..."
"It is Difficult to Imagine That You Are Unaware of... 30 Million Amazigh Speakers" In North Africa
"You claim that Amazigh civilization disappeared due to 'a century of drought in North Africa'... It is difficult to imagine that you are unaware of the existence of 30 million Amazigh-speakers living today in all of the countries of Tamazgha [i.e. North Africa]...
"You let it be understood that the Amazigh are supposedly an invention of colonialism! What colonialism is capable of creating a people ex nihilo, with its language and traditions that go back several thousand years? How could colonialism have done this - given that when the first foreigner arrived on North African soil, he found that the Amazigh had already been there for a long time?...
"How to explain these contradictions and the brutal return to this desire to negate a tangible history and reality? You even denied the evidence, when you assured us that the Amazigh problem did not exist in Libya. But... the Libyan Amazigh, like Amazigh elsewhere, face ostracism, exclusion, and discrimination of all kinds..."
"Thinking That Diversity Is a Danger is an Archaic and Totalitarian Idea"
"You say that 'Libya is for the Libyans' and that you will not accept anyone's saying that they have this identity or that identity.
"So be it - but then [you] must immediately suppress any reference to Arab identity in all of the country's legislative texts, as well as in the names of political, economic, and cultural institutions, starting with the Arab Libyan Republic, Libyan Arab Airlines, the Union of the Arab Maghreb, etc. Then we will be entirely [favorably] disposed to speak of a 'Libyan Libya,' with its history, languages, and cultures. But if your conception of Libya is one of an exclusively Arab country, then for us, the fight for our identity continues...
"You menace the Amazigh, warning that whosoever asserts their identity will be considered a traitor in the service of colonialism... Thinking that diversity is a danger is an archaic and totalitarian idea that is contrary to all of the principles of universal rights.
"We Are a People... Determined To Live Free"
"In addition, I see it as my obligation to repeat here what I told you [face to face]: We are a people and we are determined to live free, whatever it costs us. We are generally peaceful and hospitable. Whoever offers us his hand, we take him into our arms. But whoever tries to keep us from living in dignity, we will fight him with all legitimate means." [source - The MEMRI - The Middle East Media Research Institute, Special Dispatch Series - No. 1569]>>>.
Imperialistic from the beginning:
The start of imperialism was with the plundering of a camel caravan as described, <<<" A general mistake that leads to a fallacious view of facts is the presumption that Badr was the first battle fought against the infidels. As a matter of fact several engagements had actually preceded it. 'Urwa Ibn Zubair wrote a letter to 'Abd al-Malik, the opening sentence of which was : "'Abu Sufyan Ibn Harb was coming from Syria with seventy riders all of whom were Quraish." This was reported to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and his Copmpanions. Hostitlities had laready broken out between the two partiies, and a few persons from the other party including Ibn Hadrami had been slain and some taken prisoners ..... And this had been the event that had led to war between the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and the Quraish. This had also been the first occasion when losses were mutually inflicted ; and this encounter had taken place before Abu Sufyan departed for Syria."
The best way to arrive at the truth is to see what the other side had to say. Such evidence is rarely found, but fortunately, it is available in this case. Hakim Ibn Hizam (a nephew of Khadija the wife of the propeht), who was still an unbeliever had come with the Quraish army. He was five years older than the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and had been friendly to him in the pre-ministry days and continued to be so even when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had entered upon his mission. However he did not embrace Islam till the conquest of Mecca. Ibn Hakim was a Quraish dignitary, held the office of Rifada, and owned and manged Dar al-Nadwa. He lived till the days of the caliph Marwan Ibn Hakam. Once he went to see Marwan, who received him with great honour. Marwan left his royal seat, sat by his side and asked him to relate the events of Badr. Having described te preliminary datails, he said, " When the Quraish had encamped, I went to 'Utba, and said to him, 'O' father of Walid, won't you like to win a life-long fame ?' 'How is it possible ?' asked 'Utba, and I answered, 'You see, the Quraish demand from Muhammad nothing more than blood for the blood of Hadrami, and he was your ally. Why don't you pay his blood-money yourself and let all your people march back home-ward. 'Utba like this proposal, but Abu Jahl did not consent to it. Abu Jahl called 'Amir Hadrami, the brother of the deceased Hadrami, and said that he should stand out and invoke the aid of the nation, for he had his chance of vengenace close at hand. According to Arab custom, 'Amir Hadrami cast off his clothes and cried, 'Oh 'Amr Hadrami, 'Amr Hadrami, Oh 'Amir Hadrami !"
The first man who came into the battle-field was this Amir Hadrami.
Hakim Ibn Hizam and 'Amir Hadrami wee both non-believers, when Badr was fought. 'Utba and Abu Jahl, the leading chiefs died infidels. When persons of consequence, such as these, regarded the battle of Badr as a revenge for Hadrami's blood, we need not care if others, born hundreds of years after the battle, believed that it had been the outcome of an intended plunder of the caravan." [source - This is a quote from an extract of the Second Volume of English Translation of Sirat-un-Nabi originally written in Urdu by the late 'Allama Shibli Nu'mani, a well-known Muslim historian who requires no commendation.]>>>.
Next, Islam stole Syria from its owner, the Roman Empire of the East/Byzantine Empire, and here is a partial account of this wrongful action, <<<" In the face of the Muslim expansion, the Byzantine emperor Heraclius gathered a large army which met the Muslim army at the Battle of the Yarmuk in Syria on 20 August 636. It was a crushing victory which gave Syria to the Muslims... A description of the battle. Heraclius gathered large bodies of Greeks, Syrians, Mesopotamians and Armenians numbering about 200,000. This army he put under the command of one of his choice men and sent as a vanguard Jabalah ibn-al-Aiham al-Ghassani at the bead of the "naturalized" Arabs [musta'ribah] of Syria of the tribes of Lakhm, Judham and others, resolving to fight the Moslems so that be might either win or withdraw to the land of the Greeks and live in Constantinople. The Muslims gathered together and the Greek army marched against them. The battle they fought at al-Yarmuk ,was of the fiercest and bloodiest kind. Al-Yarmuk [Hieromax] is a river. In this battle 24,000 Moslems took part. The Greeks and their followers in this battle tied themselves to each other by chains, so that no one might set his hope on flight. By Allah's help, some 70,000 of them were put to death, and their remnants took to flight, reaching as far as Palestine, Antioch, Aleppo, Mesopotamia and Armenia. In the battle of al-Yarmuk certain Moslem women took part and fought violently. Among them was Hind, daughter of 'Utbah and mother of Mu'awivah ibn-abi-Sufyan, who repeatedly exclaimed, "Cut the arms of these 'uncircumcised' , with your swords!" Her husband abu-Sufvan had come to Syria as a volunteer desiring to see his sons, and so he brought his wife with him. He then returned to al-Madinah where he died, year 31, at the age of 88. Others say he died in Syria. When the news of his death was carried to his daughter, umm-Habibah, she waited until the third day on which she ordered some yellow paint and covered with it her arms and face saving, "I would not have done that, had I not heard the Prophet say, 'A woman should not be in mourning for more than three days over anyone except her husband."' It is stated that she did likewise when she received the news of her brother Yazid's death. But Allah knows best." [source - Medieval Sourcebook: Al-Baladhuri: The Battle Of The Yarmuk (636) and After by Paul Halsall Jan 1996]>>>. As we can see, right from the beginning, Islam was greedy for the lands of others and sought to occupy them.
In fact, <<<" Futuh is an Arabic word with the literal meaning of "openings". When appearing in classical Islamic literature it signifies the early Arab-Muslim conquests which facilitated the spread of Islam and Islamic civilization.
As is clear from the literal meaning of the word, futuh is a term with a strong ideological bias in favor of the conquests it signifies, implying their general beneficence and legitimacy. Here is Lewis on the ideology of futuh within classic Islamic thought:
These were not seen as conquests in the vulgar sense of territorial acquisitions, but as the overthrow of impious regimes and illegitimate hierarchies, and the "opening" of their peoples to the new revelation and dispensation... The use of the root fth is thus not unlike the twentieth century use of the verb "liberate", and is indeed sometimes replaced by the latter verb (harrara) in modern Arabic writing on early Islamic history. The Arabic verb ghalaba, "conquer", with its connotation of overwhelming by means of superior force, is sometimes used in early accounts of the Muslim conquests, but only in the context of actual military operations...
Underlying this usage, clearly, is a concept of the essential rightfulness or legitimacy of the Muslim advance and the subsequent illegitimacy of Muslim retreat before infidel conquest... The advance of Muslim power is thus an opening or a liberation, to give free scope to this divinely implanted propensity.
The Political Language of Islam, pp. 93-94
Many histories from the classical period of Islamic civilization dealing with the early conquests have futuh in their title and are considered to form their own genre of literature, called futuh reports. Like many other histories from the early period, the futuh reports contain a mixture of genres and material, with some clearly of an administrative, religio-legal, philosophical, or edificatory nature. For example, a common feature of the genre is an account of the opposing ambassador's first impression of the Arab army in which he remarks favorably upon the primitive virtues of these early Muslim warriors, thus implicitly criticizing the luxury and over-refinement of the author's own time.
The following is a partial list of these histories:
* Futuh Misr (Conquests of Egypt) by Ibn 'Abd al-Hakam
* Futuh al-Sham (Conquests of Syria) by al-Azdi
* Futuh al-Iraq (Conquests of Iraq) by al-Waqidi
* Futuh al-Habasa (Conquests of Abyssinia) by Sihab ad-Din Admad ibn Abd-al-Qadir
* Futuh al-Buldan (Conquests of the Lands) by Abu Al-Abbas Ahmad Bin Jab Al-Baladhuri
The impact of the futuh conquests was immense, not least of all on the conquerors themselves, who incorporated many features of the advanced cultures they absorbed into what eventually became classic Islamic civilization.
Among the conquered peoples, the futuh invasions resulted in two related, though not identical, social upheavals: Islamization and Arabization. The former occurred as Islam became a society's regnant religio-political framework. The latter occurred as Arab customs and the Arab language became widely adopted by a population. Though the two developments often occurred in tandem, the expression of one did not necessarily mean the expression of the other. Many Middle Eastern Christians, for example were Arabized but never Islamicized, while the Persians were Islamicized but did not Arabize.
Of the two upheavals, Islamization had the greater impact on social and cultural identity. In all cases Islamization led to a people's near total rejection of their pagan, pre-Islamic past, such that their ancestral achievements and heritage were either forgotten or actively denigrated. When in the 19th Century European Orientalists began recovering this past, their findings were at first ignored by the Muslim residents of the Near East:
The discovery... of the ancient past was a non-Middle Eastern enterprise and achievement, and for a long time it had no impact on the peoples of the Islamic Middle East, who remained uninterested in their own pagan past. For them, significant history began with the advent of Islam. That was their own, their true history, the history that mattered. What came before was an age of ignorance, of no value with no lesson to teach.
The Multiple Identities of the Middle East, p. 68
Though this alienation may be partially explained by the Arab cultural imperialism implicit in Islamization (as exemplified in the adoption of the Arabic script, for example), there is a more direct theological rationale for this, which is the Islamic concept of jahiliyyah, or state of ignorance and barbarity which supposedly prevailed in pre-Islamic Arabia. Readily applied by the first Islamicized peoples to their own pagan pasts, it led them to view these epochs as times of rampant impiety, ignorance, and injustice from which little of value could be gleaned.
Thus one trope of converted Muslims' perception of their own history is the depiction of the pre-Islamic political order as one of rampant exploitation and tyranny, with rulers ordering society according to malign whim rather than in humble subordinance to God's beneficent law for mankind:
Until the findings of Egyptology became known to them, all that most Egyptians knew about Pharaoh was what they learned from the Qur'an, and the image of Pharaoh in the Qur'an is much the same as in the Old Testament. For Muslims as for Christians and Jews, Pharaoh was the archetypal pagan tyrant and oppressor in which the heroes are the Banuh Isra'il, the children of Israel.
The Multiple Identities of the Middle East, p. 77
And in Islamic Persia, "Chosroes" became as strong a by-word for tyrannical pagan kingship as "Pharaoh" (though ironically the pagan destroyer of the Achaemenid Empire, Alexander the Great, was lionized thanks to an accident of Qur'anic textual sources).
Such hostile depictions of the pre-Islamic political order are a necessary complement to the ideology of futuh: in order for the Muslim conquests to be seen as liberatory, the social orders which they replaced had to be depicted as negatively as possible.
With the rejection of the pre-Islamic political order came the rejection of its cultural legacy as well, often expressed by the iconoclastic destruction of its monumental remains as in the recent demolition of the Buddhas of Bamyan. In Egypt, for example, the missing nose of the Great Sphinx of Giza was broken off by a fanatic Sufi when he saw the local farmers making offerings to the Sphinx. And in Iran:
...the ancient past had been forgotten and to a greater extent obliterated. In Persepolis, the ancient Persian capital, the Muslim conquerors had hacked away the faces of the Medes and Persians depicted in the friezes, seeing in them an expression of pagan idolatry. Only the most recent pre-Islamic history... was known at all, and that in a sketchy form, and from Arabic sources. The more ancient history of Iran was forgotten, and even the name of Cyrus, the founder of the Persian state, was unknown.
The Multiple Identities of the Middle East, p. 71
The popular dissemination of Orientalist discoveries lead to a revision of these attitudes, however, and at least a partial reassertion of pre-Islamic identities. In Egypt, the works of native scholars such as Rifa'a Rafi' al-Tahtawi led to renewed interest in the Pharaonic past and helped give rise to Egyptian national identity movements such as Pharaonism. Though initially derided by other Arabs as tafar'un (meaning lapsing into pharaonism), the Egyptian movements were in time emulated elsewhere:
This movement in Egypt was first opposed, condemned, even derided in other Arabic speaking countries. It was seen as something artificial, as a parochial attempt to create a little Egypt within the greater Arab or Islamic brotherhood. It was denounced by pan-Arabists as separatist, by religious people as neo-pagan, and by both as divisive. Nevertheless the example of Egypt had an impact in other Middle Eastern lands.
The Multiple Identities of the Middle East, pp. 69-70
The acceptance of classical Islam's interpretation of the futuh conquests by the Islamicized/Arabized peoples of the Near East and beyond varies.
It has been least contentious among the Arab countries of Asia, where identity with the original Arab conquerors is strongest. In modern Arab historiography there has been a trend (in part due to the influence of Western-style nationalism), to portray the earliest conquests as liberations of Arabs (or proto-Arabs) from Sassanid/Byzantine imperial domination:
Most Arabs today are Arabized descendants of the inhabitants of pre-conquest Syria, Iraq, and Egypt, but any suggestion that Islamic culture is an Arabized development of what prevailed in those pre-conquest lands deeply offends them.
Lapidus, The Cambridge Illustrated History of the Islamic World (ISBN 0-521-66993-6), p. 24
In North Africa, a reassertion of ethnic and linguistic identity among Berbers called Berberism has recently developed.
Despite a rich pre-Islamic political and cultural heritage, attempts at a reassertion of national identity in Iran have often met with strong resistance:
In 1971, when the Shah of Iran held a great celebration in Persepolis to commemorate the 2,500th anniversary of the foundation of the Persian monarchy by Cyrus the Great, he was vehemently attacked on Islamic religious grounds. Exalting the monarchy was bad enough, but far worse was the proclamation of a common identity with the Zoroastrian past, and a consequent redefinition of the basis of allegiance. For the shah's religious critics, the identity of the Iranians was defined by Islam, and their brothers were Muslims in other countries, not their own unbelieving and misguided ancestors.
The Multiple Identities of the Middle East, p. 75
With the overthrow of the Pahlavi dynasty in 1979, traditional notions of identity returned to Iran, as can be seen by the unabashed embrace of the classic futuh interpretation of Persian history in the propaganda of the Iran-Iraq War:
The Iraqis, on their side, call the Iranians Furs, a somewhat derogatory term in medieval times, with a suggestion that the Persians were the heirs of the Zoroastrians defeated at the battle of Qadisiyya in A.D. 637. This battle, which shattered the military power of the Iranian emperors and led to the incorporation of all their lands and peoples in the Muslim Arab Empire, is claimed with pride by both sides. For the Iraqis, it was a victory of Arabs over Persians... For the soldiers of the Islamic Republic, it was victory of Muslims over heathens, and a blessed beginning of the Islamization of the peoples of Iran.
The Political Language of Islam, p. 121
Acceptance in Pakistan of futuh "salvation history" can be seen in current expressions of alienation from both the political as well as cultural legacies of its pre-Islamic past:
In September 1979, on Defense of Pakistan Day, there was a long article in the Pakistan Times on Bin Qasim as a strategist. The assessment was military, neutral, fair to the soldiers of both sides. It drew a rebuke from the chairman of the National Commission on Historical and Cultural Research.
"Employment of appropriate phraseology is necessary when one is projecting the image of a hero. Expressions such as 'invader' and 'defenders' and 'the Indian Army' fighting bravely but not being quick enough to 'fall upon the withdrawing enemy' loom large in the article. 'Had Raja Dahar defended the Indus heroically and stopped Qasim from crossing it, the history of the subcontinent might have been quite different.' One fails to understand whether the writer is applauding the victory of the hero or lamenting the defeat of his rival?"
Among the Believers, p. 141

The excavated city of Mohenjo-Daro... is one of the archaeological glories of Pakistan and the world. The excavations are now being damaged by waterlogging and salinity, and appeals for money have been made to world organizations. A feature letter in the Dawn offered its own ideas for the site. Verses from the Koran, the writer said, should be engraved and set up in Mohenjo-Daro in "appropriate places": "Say (unto them, O Mohammed): Travel in the land and see the nature of the sequel for the guilty ... Say (O Mohammed, to the disbelievers): Travel in the land and see the nature of the consequence for those who were before you. Most of them were idolators."
Among the Believers, pp. 141-142
An interesting cultural adaptation found mainly here, though, is the widespread claim of descent from the Arab (or Moghul) conquerors:
"Islam doesn't show on my face. We have nearly all, subcontinental Muslims, invented Arab ancestors for ourselves. Most of us are sayeds, descendants of Mohammed through his daughter Fatima and cousin and son-in-law Ali... Everybody has got an ancestor who came from Arabia or Central Asia."
Beyond Belief, p. 307

The last Nawab of Bahawalpur was fanatical about the ancestry he claimed. In Bahawalpur and Pakistan and the subcontinent he was an Arab of the Abassids and a conqueror, a man drawing his wealth from the country, but not part of it. He wore the fez to make the point.
Beyond Belief, p. 331 " [source - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia as of 5/12/2007]>>>.

As can be seen, Islamic Imperialism worked as follows, wrongfully capture a people and subgate them, then brain wash them, just like a cancer conquers the human body. Also, they continue to occupy and do not want to give back what rightly belongs to others, but seek to keep the occupied brain washed.

In fact, they tried this wicked approach on Spain, but the subjeducated people fought back and eventually recovered their land and nation. Let's look into this briefly, <<<"Many like to place the blame on others for what results from their own willful acts. With Islam this has been the case from at least 711 AD forward. In 711 AD they attacked Spain and through the years overran most of the country, but when they got kicked out finally about seven hundred years after they started their illegal occupation they screamed about all the wonderful things they did for those they subjected; what utter nonsense." [source - The Sponsors of Unprovoked Attacks and Criminal Acts Responsible For All That Occurs: by Iris the Preacher, 2006]>>>.

So as we can see, Islam from its very beginnings was out to greedily take that which belonged to others, to subjugate the enslaved, and to brain wash them. This evil actions succeeded in most cases except for Spain, and the occupation of the subjugated nations continues until the present.

PRESENT DAY ARAB IMPERIALISM AND LUST FOR VIOLENCE:

As stated in the last topic, occupation of the subjugated nations continues until the present as the aim of Islamic Imperialism. Take what is now occurring in Thailand as an example, <<<" The premier blamed the assault on the Mujahideen Islam Pattani, one of several Muslim separatist groups accused of killing about 50 police officers over the previous three years. The banned Pattani United Liberation Organization (PULO) had boasted in May 2003 that Thai security forces were "falling like leaves" as Muslims fought to free the south from Bangkok's rule... In years past, the Muslim separatist groups in southern Thailand and the Communist Party of Thailand dabbled in drug trafficking to raise funds to support their political and operational objectives. As of 2000 there was little if any data linking indigenous terrorists to drug trafficking in Southeast Asia. The Communist Party had not been a viable organization in Thailand for years, and the Muslim separatist movement had fractured into a number of organizations known more for their banditry than their political activities. Drug trafficking did not, therefore, contribute to any significant terrorism on the part of these organizations. In fact, there were no credible reports of any terrorist groups either being based in or conducting terrorist activity within the Kingdom of Thailand. ... During 2000 authorities responded with military force and legal action to separatist activity in the south. In February, security forces dealt a severe blow to the New Pattani United Liberation Organization -- a Muslim separatist group -- when they killed its leader Saarli Taloh-Meyaw. Authorities claim that he was responsible for 90 percent of the terrorist activities in Narathiwat, a southern Thai province. In April, police arrested the deputy leader of the outlawed Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN) -- a Southern separatist group -- in Pattani. The case was still pending before the court at year's end. Authorities suspected Muslim separatists conducted several small-scale attacks on public schools, a government-run clinic, and a police station in the south. ... Southern Thailand's terrorist incidents in 2002raised questions about potential Al Qaeda Network involvement. These attacks were the handiwork of a small number of highly organized, experienced insurgents from 4-8 Muslim groups, each numbering no more than 30 people, that have embarked on a concerted and well-planned campaign of ambushes, murders, weapons thefts and criminal extortion since the Thaksin government transferred security responsibilities from the Army to the police last summer. Although some of their activities may have been inspired by the Thai Government's assistance to the US war on terror, Southern Thailand's stability has always been a direct reflection of Bangkok's degree of control. These groups had not increased their capability to conduct a sustained terrorist campaign and the current threat from Thai Muslim separatist terrorist groups in the region still remains limited despite the recently increased violence attributed to them...On 10 June 2003 Thai police broke up a cell of the Islamic militant group Jemaah Islamiyah and foiled a plot to bomb embassies in the country. Three Thai men alleged to be members of Jemaah Islamiyah, the group suspected in last year's bombing on the Indonesian resort island of Bali, were arrested in raids on their homes in the Muslim.dominated Narathiwat province, 710 miles south of Bangkok. The development followed the May 16 arrest in Bangkok of Arifin bin Ali, 42, a Singaporean alleged to be a senior member of the terror group.
Thai Muslim separatists may have called on support from the Malaysian Kampulan Mujahedin. The Malaysian group has links to the regional terror organization, Jemaah Islamiyah, which has ties to the al-Qaida terror network. There was talk decades ago about creating a Muslim state in parts of Thailand, Cambodia, and Malaysia, but this has largely disappeared. Some religious leaders in the past, about 60- or 80-years ago, they had some idea to separate southern Thailand as an independent state. Even some, they want to join with Selantan state, Terranganu, and Cambodia and become an Islamic state." [source - GlobalSecurity.org, http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/war/thailand2.htm on 5/12/2007]>>>. And this is just one example of modern day Islamic activity that shows it is no different now than when Islam was founded in the Seventh Century. To wit, as stated previously, Islam from its very beginnings was out to greedily take that which belonged to others, to subjugate the enslaved, and to brain wash them. This evil actions succeeded in most cases except for Spain, and the occupation of the subjugated nations continues until the present.
Of course the example of Thailand is just one small example. Let's look at things briefly elsewhere in the world. One newspaper in Australia, The Weekend Australian, highlighted the world condition and showed where most of the world's violence was emanating from as follows: <<<"Did you know that 90-95% of the conflicts in the world today are Muslims fighting non-muslims or each other? " [source - The Weekend Australian, November 26-27, 2005 AD]>>>.
Let's look at some more facts, <<<"Islam is intolerant of other religions, so much so that Christians in Nigeria, Sudan and middle eastern countries are killed for practicing their religion. Muslims are also responsible for burning down their churches. Sydney has recently seen an attack on four churches for similar reasons. (December 16, 2005) How can we tolerate such intolerance?">>.[7]

Says it all, so clearly Islam should be redefined as something other than a religion. So it is very necessary that this greed and hate be addressed. Remember, Matthew 5:9, "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God." (AV).

Let's consider the facts as continually revealed in the world news that shows if any thing that the newspaper editor may have been a little low when he said 95 percent of the violence in the world was caused by Muslims. Here are some instances of terrorism by members of Islam:[7]

(1) World Trade Center - 9/11 - unprovoked attack and mass murder by Muslims.[8]
(2) London Subway Bombing by Muslims [9]
(3) Continued mosque bombings in Iraq by Muslims.[10]
(4) Suicide bombings in Israel by Muslims.[11]
(5) Suicide bombing of a wedding reception in Jordan by Muslims.[12]
(6) Daily roadside bombings in Iraq by Muslims.[13]
(7) Train bombings in Spain my Muslims.[14]
(8) Riots and car burnings and murders in France by Muslims.[15]
(9) Suicide bombings in Iraq by Muslims.[16]
(10) Car and truck bombings in Iraq by Muslims.[17]
(11) Unprovoked murder of 8 Israelis and the kidnapping of 2 by Muslims to provoke turmoil and violence in Lebanon and Israel by Muslims.[18]
(12) Unprovoked murder of 2 Israelis and the kidnapping of 1 by Muslims to provoke turmoil and violence in Gaza by Muslims.[19]
(13) Bombing of restaurants and cafes in Bali, Indonesia by Muslims.[20]
(14) Bombing of a trains in India by Muslims.[21]
(15) Take over of a grammar school in Russia resulting in the deaths of many students by Muslims.[22]
(16) Attempted shoebombing of a plain by a Muslim.[23]
(17) Conspiracy to bomb about 10 planes going from UK by Muslims.[24]
(18) Attempted murder of several Indian politicians in Kashmir by Muslims.[25]
(19) Many violent acts by Muslims in Afghanistan.[26]
(20) Murder of a girl by Shiite Muslims in Iran.[27]
(21) Conspiracy to bomb trains in Germany - as previously posted for you.[28]
(22) And the list could go on and on, get it?

In fact, they are even to this day trying to start violence in North America with a view to Islamic Imperialism. Let's consider the Fort Dix fouled plan to commit murder with respect furtherance of their wicked goal. <<<" WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The federal government has charged five alleged Islamic radicals with plotting to kill U.S. soldiers at Fort Dix in New Jersey.
A sixth was charged with aiding and abetting the illegal possession of firearms by three of the others.
"The philosophy that supports and encourages jihad around the world against Americans came to live here in New Jersey and threaten the lives of our citizens through these defendants," New Jersey U.S. Attorney Christopher J. Christie said at a news conference Tuesday. (Watch how the suspects' trip to a video store led to the arrest )

Part 2 of MUSLIMS ALWAYS TRY TO PUT THE BLAME ON OTHERS FOR THEIR OWN WRONG ACTS:
The men were arrested Monday night and heard the charges against them Tuesday in federal court. They will be held without bond pending a hearing Friday, according to Michael Drewniak, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey....
One quote from the alleged recordings was defendant Mohamad Ibrahim Shnewer saying, "My intent is to hit a heavy concentration of soldiers. ... This is exactly what we are looking for. You hit four, five or six Humvees and light the whole place [up] and retreat completely without any losses."...
Their goal was to figure out how to kill as many American soldiers as possible, Christie said.
The men had surveyed a number of bases but settled on Fort Dix because one of the defendants said he knew the base "like the back of his hand" because he had delivered pizza there, Christie said. (About Fort Dix)" [source - CNN in May, 2007]>>>.
So as we can see, Islamic Imperialism is alive and well and a great danger to all freedom loving people everywhere as its goal is the same as in the past, namely to greedily take that which belonged to others, to subjugate the enslaved, and to brain wash them. Be careful, you could be next.
Yet Islam has the nerve to scream about justified temporary occupation while showing no sign of ending their occupations, many of which have lasted for centuries.
WRONGFUL ISLAMIC OCCUPATION UNTIL TODAY:
As stated previously, Today, many in Islam decry the temporary occupation of Iraq by a coalition that wants nothing better than to leave, but does not see how it can until members of Islam stop killing each other because they belong to different flavors of Islam - until the country is stabilized. Yet, these same members of Islam, many of which have been occupying other's lands for centuries see no wrong in so doing - what a corrupt double standard. For example, they wrongly occupy much of Palestine, but the entire Palestine was given not to the descendants of Abraham's son, Ishmael, from whom the Arabs descended, but to the descendants of Abraham's son, Isaac, by none other than the true God (YHWH) of Abraham, Isaac, Ishmael, and Jacob, creator of all there is, himself, as clearly recorded in Numbers 34:1-28, previously quoted in the Introduction.
Even the Qur'an clearly testifies to a Kingdom of the Hebrews in Palestine so the members of Islam have no excuse for not knowing they have been illegally occupying this country since the Seventh Century. <<<" The distorted Bible knockoff, the Quran, gives abundant testimony to the existence to the ancient kingdom of the Hebrews that has recently come out of a long hiatus. This will now be shown from three different versions of the Quran that testify to this kingdom under King Solomon and a visit by the Queen of Sheba.

AN-NAML (THE ANT, THE ANTS), Sura 27:

027.020
YUSUFALI: And he took a muster of the Birds; and he said: "Why is it I see not the Hoopoe? Or is he among the absentees?
PICKTHAL: And he sought among the birds and said: How is it that I see not the hoopoe, or is he among the absent?
SHAKIR: And he reviewed the birds, then said: How is it I see not the hoopoe or is it that he is of the absentees?

027.021
YUSUFALI: "I will certainly punish him with a severe penalty, or execute him, unless he bring me a clear reason (for absence)."
PICKTHAL: I verily will punish him with hard punishment or I verily will slay him, or he verily shall bring me a plain excuse.
SHAKIR: I will most certainly punish him with a severe punishment, or kill him, or he shall bring to me a clear plea.

027.022
YUSUFALI: But the Hoopoe tarried not far: he (came up and) said: "I have compassed (territory) which thou hast not compassed, and I have come to thee from Saba with tidings true.
PICKTHAL: But he was not long in coming, and he said: I have found out (a thing) that thou apprehendest not, and I come unto thee from Sheba with sure tidings.
SHAKIR: And he tarried not long, then said: I comprehend that which you do not comprehend and I have brought to you a sure information from Sheba.

027.023
YUSUFALI: "I found (there) a woman ruling over them and provided with every requisite; and she has a magnificent throne.
PICKTHAL: Lo! I found a woman ruling over them, and she hath been given (abundance) of all things, and hers is a mighty throne.
SHAKIR: Surely I found a woman ruling over them, and she has been given abundance and she has a mighty throne:

027.024
YUSUFALI: "I found her and her people worshipping the sun besides Allah: Satan has made their deeds seem pleasing in their eyes, and has kept them away from the Path,- so they receive no guidance,-
PICKTHAL: I found her and her people worshipping the sun instead of Allah; and Satan maketh their works fairseeming unto them, and debarreth them from the way (of Truth), so that they go not aright;
SHAKIR: I found her and her people adoring the sun instead of Allah, and the Shaitan has made their deeds fair-seeming to them and thus turned them from the way, so they do not go aright

027.025
YUSUFALI: "(Kept them away from the Path), that they should not worship Allah, Who brings to light what is hidden in the heavens and the earth, and knows what ye hide and what ye reveal.
PICKTHAL: So that they worship not Allah, Who bringeth forth the hidden in the heavens and the earth, and knoweth what ye hide and what ye proclaim,
SHAKIR: That they do not make obeisance to Allah, Who brings forth what is hidden in the heavens and the earth and knows what you hide and what you make manifest:

027.026
YUSUFALI: "Allah!- there is no god but He!- Lord of the Throne Supreme!"
PICKTHAL: Allah; there is no Allah save Him, the Lord of the Tremendous Throne.
SHAKIR: Allah, there is no god but He: He is the Lord of mighty power.

027.027
YUSUFALI: (Solomon) said: "Soon shall we see whether thou hast told the truth or lied!
PICKTHAL: (Solomon) said: We shall see whether thou speakest truth or whether thou art of the liars.
SHAKIR: He said: We will see whether you have told the truth or whether you are of the liars:

027.028
YUSUFALI: "Go thou, with this letter of mine, and deliver it to them: then draw back from them, and (wait to) see what answer they return"...
PICKTHAL: Go with this my letter and throw it down unto them; then turn away and see what (answer) they return,
SHAKIR: Take this my letter and hand it over to them, then turn away from them and see what (answer) they return.

027.029
YUSUFALI: (The queen) said: "Ye chiefs! here is delivered to me - a letter worthy of respect.
PICKTHAL: (The Queen of Sheba) said (when she received the letter): O chieftains! Lo! there hath been thrown unto me a noble letter.
SHAKIR: She said: O chief! surely an honorable letter has been delivered to me

027.030
YUSUFALI: "It is from Solomon, and is (as follows): 'In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful:
PICKTHAL: Lo! it is from Solomon, and lo! it is: In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful;
SHAKIR: Surely it is from Sulaiman, and surely it is in the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful;

027.031
YUSUFALI: "'Be ye not arrogant against me, but come to me in submission (to the true Religion).'"
PICKTHAL: Exalt not yourselves against me, but come unto me as those who surrender.
SHAKIR: Saying: exalt not yourselves against me and come to me in submission.

027.032
YUSUFALI: She said: "Ye chiefs! advise me in (this) my affair: no affair have I decided except in your presence."
PICKTHAL: She said: O chieftains! Pronounce for me in my case. I decide no case till ye are present with me.
SHAKIR: She said: O chiefs! give me advice respecting my affair: I never decide an affair until you are in my presence.

027.033
YUSUFALI: They said: "We are endued with strength, and given to vehement war: but the command is with thee; so consider what thou wilt command."
PICKTHAL: They said: We are lords of might and lords of great prowess, but it is for thee to command; so consider what thou wilt command.
SHAKIR: They said: We are possessors of strength and possessors of mighty prowess, and the command is yours, therefore see what you will command.

027.034
YUSUFALI: She said: "Kings, when they enter a country, despoil it, and make the noblest of its people its meanest thus do they behave.
PICKTHAL: She said: Lo! kings, when they enter a township, ruin it and make the honour of its people shame. Thus will they do.
SHAKIR: She said: Surely the kings, when they enter a town, ruin it and make the noblest of its people to be low, and thus they (always) do;

027.035
YUSUFALI: "But I am going to send him a present, and (wait) to see with what (answer) return (my) ambassadors."
PICKTHAL: But lo! I am going to send a present unto them, and to see with what (answer) the messengers return.
SHAKIR: And surely I am going to send a present to them, and shall wait to see what (answer) do the messengers bring back.

027.036
YUSUFALI: Now when (the embassy) came to Solomon, he said: "Will ye give me abundance in wealth? But that which Allah has given me is better than that which He has given you! Nay it is ye who rejoice in your gift!
PICKTHAL: So when (the envoy) came unto Solomon, (the King) said: What! Would ye help me with wealth? But that which Allah hath given me is better than that which He hath given you. Nay it is ye (and not I) who exult in your gift.
SHAKIR: So when he came to Sulaiman, he said: What! will you help me with wealth? But what Allah has given me is better than what He has given you. Nay, you are exultant because of your present;

027.037
YUSUFALI: "Go back to them, and be sure we shall come to them with such hosts as they will never be able to meet: We shall expel them from there in disgrace, and they will feel humbled (indeed)."
PICKTHAL: Return unto them. We verily shall come unto them with hosts that they cannot resist, and we shall drive them out from thence with shame, and they will be abased.
SHAKIR: Go back to them, so we will most certainly come to them with hosts which they shall have no power to oppose, and we will most certainly expel them therefrom in abasement, and they shall be in a state of ignominy.

027.038
YUSUFALI: He said (to his own men): "Ye chiefs! which of you can bring me her throne before they come to me in submission?"
PICKTHAL: He said: O chiefs! Which of you will bring me her throne before they come unto me, surrendering?
SHAKIR: He said: O chiefs! which of you can bring to me her throne before they come to me in submission?

027.039
YUSUFALI: Said an 'Ifrit, of the Jinns: "I will bring it to thee before thou rise from thy council: indeed I have full strength for the purpose, and may be trusted."
PICKTHAL: A stalwart of the jinn said: I will bring it thee before thou canst rise from thy place. Lo! I verily am strong and trusty for such work.
SHAKIR: One audacious among the jinn said: I will bring it to you before you rise up from your place; and most surely I am strong (and) trusty for it.

027.040
YUSUFALI: Said one who had knowledge of the Book: "I will bring it to thee within the twinkling of an eye!" Then when (Solomon) saw it placed firmly before him, he said: "This is by the Grace of my Lord!- to test me whether I am grateful or ungrateful! and if any is grateful, truly his gratitude is (a gain) for his own soul; but if any is ungrateful, truly my Lord is Free of all Needs, Supreme in Honour !"
PICKTHAL: One with whom was knowledge of the Scripture said: I will bring it thee before thy gaze returneth unto thee. And when he saw it set in his presence, (Solomon) said: This is of the bounty of my Lord, that He may try me whether I give thanks or am ungrateful. Whosoever giveth thanks he only giveth thanks for (the good of) his own soul; and whosoever is ungrateful (is ungrateful only to his own soul's hurt). For lo! my Lord is Absolute in independence, Bountiful.
SHAKIR: One who had the knowledge of the Book said: I will bring it to you in the twinkling of an eye. Then when he saw it settled beside him, he said: This is of the grace of my Lord that He may try me whether I am grateful or ungrateful; and whoever is grateful, he is grateful only for his own soul, and whoever is ungrateful, then surely my Lord is Self-sufficient, Honored.

027.041
YUSUFALI: He said: "Transform her throne out of all recognition by her: let us see whether she is guided (to the truth) or is one of those who receive no guidance."
PICKTHAL: He said: Disguise her throne for her that we may see whether she will go aright or be of those not rightly guided.
SHAKIR: He said: Alter her throne for her, we will see whether she follows the right way or is of those who do not go aright.

027.042
YUSUFALI: So when she arrived, she was asked, "Is this thy throne?" She said, "It was just like this; and knowledge was bestowed on us in advance of this, and we have submitted to Allah (in Islam)."
PICKTHAL: So, when she came, it was said (unto her): Is thy throne like this? She said: (It is) as though it were the very one. And (Solomon said): We were given the knowledge before her and we had surrendered (to Allah).
SHAKIR: So when she came, it was said: Is your throne like this? She said: It is as it were the same, and we were given the knowledge before it, and we were submissive.
027.043
YUSUFALI: And he diverted her from the worship of others besides Allah: for she was (sprung) of a people that had no faith.
PICKTHAL: And (all) that she was wont to worship instead of Allah hindered her, for she came of disbelieving folk.
SHAKIR: And what she worshipped besides Allah prevented her, surely she was of an unbelieving people.

027.044
YUSUFALI: She was asked to enter the lofty Palace: but when she saw it, she thought it was a lake of water, and she (tucked up her skirts), uncovering her legs. He said: "This is but a palace paved smooth with slabs of glass." She said: "O my Lord! I have indeed wronged my soul: I do (now) submit (in Islam), with Solomon, to the Lord of the Worlds."
PICKTHAL: It was said unto her: Enter the hall. And when she saw it she deemed it a pool and bared her legs. (Solomon) said: Lo! it is a hall, made smooth, of glass. She said: My Lord! Lo! I have wronged myself, and I surrender with Solomon unto Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.
SHAKIR: It was said to her: Enter the palace; but when she saw it she deemed it to be a great expanse of water, and bared her legs. He said: Surely it is a palace made smooth with glass. She said: My Lord! surely I have been unjust to myself, and I submit with Sulaiman to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.

027.045
YUSUFALI: We sent (aforetime), to the Thamud, their brother Salih, saying, "Serve Allah": But behold, they became two factions quarrelling with each other.
PICKTHAL: And We verily sent unto Thamud their brother Salih, saying: Worship Allah. And lo! they (then became two parties quarrelling.
SHAKIR: And certainly We sent to Samood their brother Salih, saying: Serve Allah; and lo! they became two sects quarrelling with each other.

So as we can see, that while some members try to falsely assert that the Hebrews ever had a nation, the distorted Bible knockoff, the Quran, they claim to believe even testifies to the existence of this nation in ancient times.

Of course the distorted Bible knockoff, the Quran, is full of distortions, and here is one example, How can little worm eat away Solomans staff? Was Solomon standing there for months and waited for the little worm to finish until it fell apart? Solomon is amused at the speech of an ant? (27:19) How could Solomon keep his sanity if he heard all the voices of all the insects around him? He must have been drowned in constant chatter. It is high time that all accept the fact that the Quran is nothing but a distorted knockoff of the Bible, and that the Bible truly is the word of the true God (YHWH) of Abraham, Isaac, and Ishmael.

MORE EVIDENCE FROM THE QURAN TO THE EXISTANCE OF THE ANCIENT NATION OF THE HEBREWS:

SABA (SABA, SHEBA)

034.012
YUSUFALI: And to Solomon (We made) the Wind (obedient): Its early morning (stride) was a month's (journey), and its evening (stride) was a month's (journey); and We made a Font of molten brass to flow for him; and there were Jinns that worked in front of him, by the leave of his Lord, and if any of them turned aside from our command, We made him taste of the Penalty of the Blazing Fire.
PICKTHAL: And unto Solomon (We gave) the wind, whereof the morning course was a month's journey and the evening course a month's journey, and We caused the fount of copper to gush forth for him, and (We gave him) certain of the jinn who worked before him by permission of his Lord. And such of them as deviated from Our command, them We caused to taste the punishment of flaming Fire.
SHAKIR: And (We made) the wind (subservient) to Sulaiman, which made a month's journey in the morning and a month's journey m the evening, and We made a fountain of molten copper to flow out for him, and of the jinn there were those who worked before him by the command of his Lord; and whoever turned aside from Our command from among them, We made him taste of the punishment of burning.

034.013
YUSUFALI: They worked for him as he desired, (making) arches, images, basons as large as reservoirs, and (cooking) cauldrons fixed (in their places): "Work ye, sons of David, with thanks! but few of My servants are grateful!"
PICKTHAL: They made for him what he willed: synagogues and statues, basins like wells and boilers built into the ground. Give thanks, O House of David! Few of My bondmen are thankful.
SHAKIR: They made for him what he pleased of fortresses and images, and bowls (large) as watering-troughs and cooking-pots that will not move from their place; give thanks, O family of Dawood! and very few of My servants are grateful.

034.014
YUSUFALI: Then, when We decreed (Solomon's) death, nothing showed them his death except a little worm of the earth, which kept (slowly) gnawing away at his staff: so when he fell down, the Jinns saw plainly that if they had known the unseen, they would not have tarried in the humiliating Penalty (of their Task).
PICKTHAL: And when We decreed death for him, nothing showed his death to them save a creeping creature of the earth which gnawed away his staff. And when he fell the jinn saw clearly how, if they had known the Unseen, they would not have continued in despised toil.
SHAKIR: But when We decreed death for him, naught showed them his death but a creature of the earth that ate away his staff; and when it fell down, the jinn came to know plainly that if they had known the unseen, they would not have tarried in abasing torment.

YUSUFALI: (It was Our power that made) the violent (unruly) wind flow (tamely) for Solomon, to his order, to the land which We had blessed: for We do know all things.
PICKTHAL: And unto Solomon (We subdued) the wind in its raging. It set by his command toward the land which We had blessed. And of everything We are Aware.
SHAKIR: And (We made subservient) to Sulaiman the wind blowing violent, pursuing its course by his command to the land which We had blessed, and We are knower of ail things.

021.082
YUSUFALI: And of the evil ones, were some who dived for him, and did other work besides; and it was We Who guarded them.
PICKTHAL: And of the evil ones (subdued We unto him) some who dived (for pearls) for him and did other work, and We were warders unto them.
SHAKIR: And of the rebellious people there were those who dived for him and did other work besides that, and We kept guard over them;

FACTS ON KING SOLOMON:

From an encyclopedia, <<" Historical-Israel-Dan-Beersheba-Judea.pngUnited Monarchy under Solomon
Solomon (Latin name) or Shlomo is a figure described in Middle Eastern scriptures as a wise ruler of an empire, living perhaps around 1000 BCE.
The names "Shlomo" and "Solomon" are usually associated with the Biblical account of his life.

His father was named David (Hebrew). In the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) he is also called Jedidiah and described as the third king of the united Kingdom of Israel, prior to the split between the Northern Kingdom of Israel and the Southern Kingdom of Judah. Following the split, the kings of Judah were descended patrilinealy from Solomon.

Solomon was the builder of the first Temple in Jerusalem, also known as Solomon's Temple. He was renowned for his great wisdom, wealth, and power, but also blamed for his later pacifism toward his converted wives in their worship of other gods. He is the subject of many later legends. Some Kabbalah masters claim[citation needed] to be his descendents.

The name Solomon (Shlomo) means "peaceful," or "complete", from the Hebrew Shelomoh. The name given by God to Solomon in the Bible is Jedidiah, meaning "friend of God", (2 Samuel 12:25), and some scholars have conjectured that Solomon is a "king name" taken either when he assumed the throne or upon his death.

Solomon's case is one of the few in the Bible where the name given by God does not stay with the character. Solomon's birth is considered a grace from God, after the death of the previous child between David and Bathsheba.

Succession
Solomon was David's second son by Bathsheba [1], and his declared heir to the throne. Solomon's history is recorded in 1 Kings 1-11 and 2 Chronicles 1-9. He succeeded his father (reigned circa 1011/1010 BCE to 971/970 BCE) on the throne in about 971 or 970 BCE, not 1037 BCE (1 Kings 6:1), according to E. R. Thiele. His father chose him as his successor, passing over the claims of his elder sons, by women other than Bathsheba. His elevation to the throne took place before his father's death, and is hastened on mainly by Nathan and Bathsheba, in consequence of the rebellion of Adonijah.

During his long reign of 40 years the Hebrew monarchy gained its highest splendor. This period has well been called the "Augustan Age" of the Jewish annals. In a single year he collected tribute amounting to 666 talents of gold, according to 1 Kings 10:14.

The first half of his reign was, however, by far the brighter and more prosperous; the latter half was clouded by the idolatries into which he fell, mainly, according to the scribes, from his intermarriages. According to 1 Kings 11:3, he had 700 wives and 300 concubines. As soon as he had settled himself in his kingdom, and arranged the affairs of his extensive empire, he entered into an alliance with Egypt by a marriage with the daughter of the Pharaoh. ...

Islamic view of Solomon
Main article: Islamic view of Solomon
See Similarities between the Bible and the Qur'an
Solomon also appears in the Qur'an, where he is called Sulayman, which is Solomon in Arabic (Sulaiman or Suleiman). The Qur'an refers to Solomon as the son of David, as a prophet and as a great ruler imparted by God with tremendous wisdom, favor, and special powers just like his father, David. The Quran states that Solomon had under his rule not only people, but also hosts of hidden beings (i.e., jinn). It also states that Solomon was able to understand the language of the birds and ants, and to see some of the hidden glory in the world that was not accessible to common human beings. The Islamic view on Solomon is based entirely on revelation's to Muhammed which comprise part of the Qur'an." [source - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia]>>, [source - The Quran Testifies to The Kingdom of the Hebrews:, by Iris the Preacher, 2007]>>>.
Yet, even though their Qur'an, as shown by direct quotes from three different versions/translations of the Qur'an, clearly show that the land of Palestine clearly belongs to the Hebrews, the descendents of Abraham's son Isaac, and not to the descendents of Abraham's son Ishmael, Islam greedily wants all of Palestine. They still occupy a large part of it - Gaza and the west bank. They, although they scream about even temporary occupation of Iraq for legitimate and beneficial reasons, they stubbornly refuse to get out of all of Palestine which does not belong to them; in fact, they routinely harass the rightful owners and challenge their right to exist - how hateful and wicked.
But this is not the only area that they are wrongfully occupying. Turkey is another and it rightfully belongs to the Byzantine Empire; Pakistan and Afghanistan both of which originally were part of 'greater India' and were the property of Buddhist and Hindu people. Islam should return these lands to their rightful owners and deprogram those whose ancestors were brain washed.
Let's just consider for a minute how 'greater India' was occupied by Islam to see how horrible the wicked wrong was.
Satyameva Jayate, Truth Alone Triumphs, as sponsored by Jai Maharaj, stated the following, <<<"Genocide committed in the name of Allah: 3,000,000 Bangladeshi Hindus Killed during the Pakistan-Bangladesh war in 1971. From 1894 to 1896 Abdul Hamid, Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, killed 150,000 Armenian Christians. In India, Sikh Guru Tegh Bahadur along with his disciples was burned to death by the Moghul ruler Aurangzeb in 1675. Another Sikh, Bhai Mati Das was sawn into right and left halves while he was still alive. In July 1974, 4,000 Christians living in Cyprus were killed by Fahri Koroturk, president of Turkey and his Islamic army. From 1843 to 1846 10,000 Assyrian Christians including women and children were massacred by the Muslims. From 1915 to 1918 750,000 Assyrians were killed in the name of Islamic Jihad. In 1933 thousands of Assyrian villagers were murdered by the Iraqi soldiers in Northern Iraq. Since 1990 more than 10,000 Kashmiri Hindus have been brutally murdered by Islamic fundamentalists. Over 280,000 Ugandans killed during the reign of Idi Amin from 1971 to 1979. Over 30,000 Mauritanians have been killed by the Islamic dictators since 1960.

And, <<<" K. S. Lai, the greatest of all historians in India said, <<"Islam received a definite check in India. In other words, while countries like Arabia, Persia, Mesopotamia and Syria succumbed to the onslaught of Islam and converted en masse, the sword of Islam was blunted in India. This check provided provocation and enthusiasm to some Muslim conquerors and rulers to take to the task of proselytization with great zeal and earnestness. Their exertions and achievements find repeated mention in official and non-official chronicles and similar other works. Sometimes, besides broad facts, actual data and figures in this regard are also available. All this information is very helpful in estimating Muslim numbers as they grew from almost a cipher. ">>.

He went on to quote, <<"By the year 1000 of the Christian Era the extreme north-western parts of India, in the trans-Indus region, had become introduced to Islam. As early as C.E. 664, consequent upon an invasion of Kabul and its environs (which then formed part of India), by Abdur Rahman, a few thousand inhabitants are reported to have been converted to Islam" [source - Ferishtah, Tarikh-i-Ferishtah, Persian text, Nawal Kishore Press, Lucknow 1865, Vol.1, p.16.]>>, and <<"Subuktagin also fought against the Hindus and converted some of them. But all these events took place in the trans-Indus region, and we may, therefore, agree with Lanepoole in saying that in C.E. 1000 there were no Muslims in northern India east of the Indus."[source - Stanley Lane-Poole, Medieval India under Muhammadan Rule (London, 1926), p.1.}>>.

But conversion by the proverbial sword and the stealing of other's land was only to grow worse. <<" However, there were some small settlements of Muslims in Sind, Gujarat and the Malabar Coast. Parts of Sind were conquered by Muhammad bin Qasim Sakifi in C.E. 712. Whichever towns he took, like Alor, Nirun, Debul and Multan, in them he established mosques, appointed Muslim governors, and propagated the Muhammadan religion." [source - Chachnama, trs. in H.M. Elliot and J. Dowson, History of India as told by its own Historians, 8 Vols., London, 1867-77, (here after as E and D), Vol. I, p. 207.]>>. And to continue, <<"In Debul, for instance, he enslaved and converted some women and children, and left a contingent of 4,000 Muhammadans to garrison the place." [source - Al Biladuri, Futuh-ul-Buldan, trs. E and D, I, p.120]>>.

Forced conversions were to become a way of life and standard operating principle of (SOP) of Islam as shown by, <<" In Multan about 6,000 persons were made to accept Islam. Al Biladuri's narrative indicates that the people of Sawandari, Basmad, Kiraj, and Alor were converted in large numbers." [source - Al Biladuri, Futuh-ul-Buldan, trs. E and D, I, p.122 to 124]>>; another large forced conversion was, <<"by Muhammad bin Qasim Sakifi to Hajjaj also point to large number of conversions." [source - Chachnama, op. cit., pp. 163-64. Also pp. 205-07, 208]>>.

<<"Muhammad bin Qasim remained in Sind for a little more than three years." [source - Elliot's Appendix in E and D, I, p.439]>>. <<"After his recall not only the Arab power in Sind declined rapidly, but also most of the neo-converts returned to their former faith. Al Biladuri informs that 'in the days of Tamim, the Musalmans (had) retired from several parts of India... nor have they up to the present time (he wrote in the middle of the ninth century) advanced so far as in days gone by". When Hakim succeeded Tamim, "the people of India had returned to idolatry excepting those of Kassa, and the Musalmans had no place of security in which they could take refuge"." [source - Biladuri, op. cit., p.126, Also cf. Idrisi, E and D, I, Nuzhat-ul-Mushtaq]>>, <<"Sir Dension Ross also says that "after the recall of Muhammad bin Qasim, the Muslim retained some foothold on the west bank of the river Indus, but they were in such small numbers that they gradually merged into Hindu population. In Mansura (the Muslim capital of Sind) they actually adopted Hinduism." [ source - Dension Ross, Islam, p.18.]>>.

Conversions made at the point of the proverbial sword did not always hold as shown by, <<" In brief, because of the efforts of Muhammad bin Qasim and Caliph Umar II (C.E. 717-24) some Hindus in Sind had been converted to Islam, but by the time of Caliph Hashim (724-43), when Tamim was the governor of Sind, many of these Sindhi converts had returned to Hinduism. Those who continued to retain the new faith remained confined mostly to cities, particularly Multan. After Mahmud of Ghazni's attack on Multan their number seems to have gone up for, writing in the twelfth century, Al Idrisi says: "The greater part of the population (of Multan) is Musalman, so also the Judicial authority and civil administration." [ However, up to C.E. 1000 there were very few Muslims in Sind." [sources - Al Idrisi, p.83. and Elliot's Appendix, E and D, I, p.459]>>.

IT GETS WORSE - I.E., VIOLENCE AND FORCED CONVERSIONS BY MUSLIMS:

History shows that around the year 1,000 violence, pillaging, and conversions at the proverbial point of the sword, etc. my Muslims in India gets worse. <<" In the year C.E. 1000 the first attack of Mahmud of Ghazni was delivered. The region of Mahmud's activity extended from Peshawar to Kanauj in the east and from Peshawar to Anhilwara in the South. In this, wherever he went, he converted people to Islam. In his attack on Waihind (near Peshawar) in 1001-3, Mahmud is reported to have captured Jayapal and fifteen of his principal chiefs and relations some of whom, like Sukhpal, were made Musalmans. At Bhera all the inhabitants, except those who embraced Islam, were put to the sword. Since the whole town is reported to have been converted the number of converts may have been quite large. At Multan too conversions took place in large numbers for, writing about the campaign against Nawasa Shah (converted Sukhpal), Utbi says that this and the previous victory (at Multan) were 'witnesses to his exalted state of proselytism'" [sources - Kitab-i-Yamini, Eng. trs. of Utbi's work by James Reynolds, (London) 1858, pp. 451-52, 455, 460, 462-63 and Utbi, Tarikh-i-Yamini, E and D, II, pp.27, 30, 33, 40, 42, 43, 45, 49. Also Appendix in E and D, II, pp.434-78]>>. <<"In his campaign in the Kashmir Valley (1015) Mahmud 'converted many infidels to Muhammadanism, and having spread Islam in that country, returned to Ghazni'. In the latter campaigns, in Mathura, Baran and Kanauj, again, many conversions took place. While describing 'the conquest of Kanauj', Utbi sums up the situation thus: 'The Sultan levelled to the ground every fort..., and the inhabitants of them either accepted Islam, or took up arms against him." In short, those who submitted were also converted to Islam. In Baran (Bulandshahr) alone 10,000 persons were converted including the Raja. During his fourteenth invasion in C.E. 1023, Kirat, Nur, Lohkot and Lahore were attacked. The chief of Kirat accepted Islam, and many people followed his example. According to Nizamuddin Ahmad, 'Islam spread in this part of the country by the consent of the people and the influence of force'. Conversion of Hindus to Islam was one of the objects of Mahmud. Al Qazwini writes that when Mahmud went "to wage religious war against India, he made great efforts to capture and destroy Somnat, in the hope that the Hindus would then become Muhammadans" [source - Zakaria al Qazwini, Asar-ul-Bilad, E and D, I, p.98]>>; and <<"Sultan Mahmud was well-versed in the Quran and was considered its eminent interpreter."[source - C.E. Bosworth, The Ghaznavids (Edinburgh, 1963), p. 129. Utbi, Reynolds trs. op. cit., pp.438-39 and n.]>>; <<"He ardently desired to play the role of a true Muslim monarch and convert non-Muslims to his faith. Tarikh-i-Yamini, Rausat-us-Safa and Tarikh-i-Ferishtah, besides many other works, speak of construction of mosques and schools and appointment of preachers and teachers by Mahmud and his successor Masud." [source - Utbi, trs. Reynolds, op.cit., pp. 322-25, 462. Utbi, E and D, II, p.37 Ferishtah, op. cit., I, p.44.]>>; <<"Wherever Mahmud went, he insisted on the people to convert to Islam. Such was the insistence on the conversion of the vanquished Hindu princes that many rulers just fled before Mahmud even without giving a battle. "The object of Bhimpal in recommending the flight of Chand Rai was, that the Rai should not fall into the net of the Sultan, and thus be made a Musalman, as had happened to Bhimpal's uncles and relations, when they demanded quarter in their distress." [source - Utbi, E and D, II, p.49.]>>; <<" There is no doubt that the invasions of Mahmud of Ghazni brought good crop of converts, and a few more Muslims were added through the influence of Muslim Mashaikh and traders in Gujarat and Malabar. But if the example of Sind provides any precedent, it is possible that many Hindus forcibly converted to Islam during Mahmud's raids returned to their former faith. Very few Muslims were left in Sind after the decline of Arab rule. A local Karmatian Muhammadan dynasty was, however, ruling at Mansura and Multan. Mahmud of Ghazni destroyed it root and branch (1010) and Multan was deserted" [source - Ferishtah, op. cit., I, p.27, M. Habib, Sultan Mahmud of Ghaznin, Delhi reprint, 1951, p.34,]>>.

CONTINUED FORCED CONVERSIONS AND STEALING OF HINDU LANDS:

<<"About the end of the twelfth century, Muhammad Ghori established Muslim rule in India on a durable basis. When he captured Bhatinda in 1190-91, he placed in its command Qazi Ziyauddin with a contingent of 1200 horse." [source - Camb. Hist. India, III, p.40.]>>; <<"In 1192 he invaded Hindustan with an army of 120,000. A good number of his soldiers would have been killed in the sanguinary battle with Prithviraj. A major portion of the remainder would have stayed on in India under Qutbuddin Aibak, who must not have been left empty handed in an alien and hostile country." [source - Hasan Nizami says that 'the Sultan then returned to Ghazna... but the whole army remained... at the mauza of Indarpat'. (Taj-ul-Maasir, E and D, II, p.216). Surely Muhammad Ghori would not have gone back all alone.]>>.

It get's even worse, <<" Aibak entered upon a series of conquests. He despatched Ikhtiyaruddin Bakhtiyar Khalji to the East and himself captured Kol (modern Aligarh) in 1194. There "those of the garrison who were wise and acute were converted to Islam, but those who stood by their ancient faith were slain with the sword" [source - Taj-ul-Maasir, E and D, II, p.216]>>; <<"In 1195 when Raja Bhim of Gujarat was attacked, 20,000 prisoners were captured," [source - Ferishtah, I, p.62.]>>; <<"and in 1202 at Kalinjar 50,000," [source - Hasan Nizami, p.231. Also Ferishtah, I, p.53. Habibullah, The Foundation of Muslim Rule in India, (Allahabad, 1961), pp.69 and 334 (n.26), has missed to cite Hasan Nizami's assertion that 50,000 were enslaved.]>>; <<"and we may be sure that (as in the case of Arab conquest of Sind) all those who were made slaves were compelled to embrace the religion of the masters to whom they were allotted." [source - Titus. Islam in India and Pakistan (Calcutta, 1959), p.31.]>>; <<"Ferishtah specifically mentions that on the capture of Kalinjar "fifty thousand Kaniz va ghulam, having suffered slavery, were rewarded with the honour of Islam" [source - Ferishtah, I, p.63.]>>; <<"According to Ferishtah three to four hundred thousand Khokhars and Tirahias were also converted to Islam by Muhammad Ghori." [source - Ferishtah, I, pp.59-60.]>>.

MASSACREE OF BUDDHIST BY VIOLENCE LUSTFUL MEMBERS OF ISLAM:

Genocide and massacres and stealing of others lands and forced conversions continued as Islam's SOP <<"Ikhtiyaruddin Bakhtiyar Khalji's military exploits in the east also resulted in conversions to Islam. About the end of the twelfth or the beginning of the thirteenth century," [source & comments by S.K. Lal - The exact date of the raid is difficult to determine. Ishwari Prasad, Medieval India (Allahabad, Fourth Impression, 1940), p.138 places it" probably in 1197", Wolseley Haig (C.H.I., III,pp.45-46) a little earlier than this, and Habibullah, op. cit., pp.70 and 84, n. 78 in 1202-03.]>>; <<"he marched into Bihar and attacked the University centres of Nalanda, Vikramshila and Uddandapur, erecting a fortress at the site of Uddandapur or Odantapuri." [source - Indian Antiquary, IV, pp.366-67.]>>; <<"The Buddhist monks in these places were massacred and the common people, deprived of their priests and teachers, turned some to Brahmanism and some to Islam. Buddhism did not die out immediately or completely in Bihar." [source - Fuhrer, The Sharqi Architecture of Jaunpur, pp.70-73.]>>; <<"But Bakhtiyar's raid on Bihar did deliver a shattering blow to Buddhism and its lost followers were gained mainly by Islam. Muslim sway extended from Varanasi through the strip of Shahabad, Patna, Monghyr and Bhagalpur district," [source - Habibullah, op. cit., p.147]>>.

<<" During the time of Qutbuddin Aibak a large number of places were attacked and prisoners captured for which actual figures or written evidence are available. Figures of any conversions during campaigns to Kanauj, Varanasi (where the Muslims occupied "a thousand" temples)." [source - Ferishtah, I, p. 58]>>; <<"Ajmer (attacked thrice), Gujarat, Bayana and Gwalior, and the campaigns carried out right up to Bengal are not available. However, since the notices of medieval chroniclers are usually full of exaggeration where figures of the defeated or captured non-Muslims are concerned, it would be reasonable to take into consideration only those which are specifically mentioned, any exaggeration being rounded off by those which are not." [source - Indian Muslims, Who Are They by K.S. Lal]>>[source - Islam, Violent From The Beginning Using India as An Example:, by Iris the Preacher, 2006]>>>.
And, <<<" Now here are the facts, the reality, of the murder, genocide of over 80 million endividuals in India by Muslims, <<"With the invasion of India by Mahmud Ghazni about 1000 A.D., began the Muslim invasions into the Indian subcontinent and they lasted for several centuries. The Muslim invasions continued even when the Muslims were ruling India, like the invasion of the Mongols during the reign of the Khiljis or the invasion of the Mughals in the early sixteenth Century when the Lodis were ruling Delhi. The last notable invasion of the Muslims from outside was the invasion of Nadir Shah in 1739, during which he unleashed a great horror on the native population.

During these seven hundred years of Muslim invasions and their conquest and rule of India, the Hindus were the greatest sufferers. It is difficult to estimate the number of Hindus who lost their lives during these campaigns, the number of Hindus who lost their lives in the religious persecution perpetrated on the native population by the Muslim rulers or the number of Hindus who were forcibly converted to Islam.

According to Prof. K.S. Lal, the author of the Growth of Muslim population in India, the Hindu population decreased by 80 million between 1000 AD, the year Mahmud Ghazni invaded India and 1525 AD, a year before the battle of Panipat.

One can safely add another 20 million Hindus to this list to account for the number that were killed during the Mughal rule or the rule of the Muslim rulers in the Deccan plateau. By all known accounts of world history, as pointed out by Koenard Elst in his book the Negationism in India, destruction of about 100 million hindus is perhaps the biggest holocaust in the whole world history." [source - The biggest holocaust in world history by Jayaram V]>>...
Now let's look at what others had to say about this greatest of all genocides:

Historian Will Durant wrote his book The Story of Civilization:, <<"The Mohammadan conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history. It is a discouraging tale, for its evident moral is that civilization is a precarious thing, whose delicate complex of order and liberty, culture and peace may at any time be overthrown by barbarians invading from without or multiplying within." [source - "The Story of Civilization, " by Will Durant the great American historian].

French historian Alain Danielou wrote in his book Histoire de l'Inde:, <<"From the moment when the Muslims arrive in India, the history of India does not have any more great interest. It is long and monotonous series of murder, massacres, spoilations, destruction." [source - "Histoire de l'Inde," by Alain Danielou, great French historian]>>.

Hindu sage Padmanabha described in his KanhaDade Prabandha in 1456 AD the story of the Islamic invasion of Gujarat of 1298 AD:, <<"The conquering army burnt villages, devastated the land, plundered people's wealth, took Brahmins ( priestly hindu class ) and children and women of all classes captive, flogged with thongs of raw hide, carried a moving prison with it, and converted the prisoners into obsequious slaves.

Tarikh-i-Yamini of Utbi the sultan's secretary wrote in the 11th century:The blood of the infidels flowed so copiously at Thanesar that the stream was discoloured, notwithstanding its purity, and people were unable to drink it. The Sultan returned with plunder which is impossible to count." [source - "the story of the Islamic invasion of Gujarat of 1298 AD:, " (English translation), by Padmanabha, a famous Hindu of the 15 th. Century].

As shown, Islam engaged in a henious genocide clearly showing them to be a false religion that ignored the basic human right of freedom of conscience and belief, and even went so far as putting a 'head tax" on those they did not murder who continued to practice their own religion to exert pressure to convert." [source - Only a False Religion Commits Genocide Against Others: by Iris the Preacher 2007].

CONCLUSION;

As stated in the introduction, <<<" Since its inception Islam claims to be a peaceful religion, but in practice it has been anything but peaceful. In fact, it was responsible for among other things, bringing on or being the cause of the Crusades, but trying to throw the blame for them on others. Let's look at the facts, <<<" Throughout history Islam which claims to be a religion of peace has attacked apostate (counterfeit) Christians and has attempted to steal land and people from them, and then cried fowl when they struck back. How ridicules and hypocritical that is for any group; to wit, to initiate blood guilt and then yell when the other group defends itself and strikes back.">>>. And the evidence presented in this article clearly proves it is anything but a peaceful religion, and today it is as violent as ever as clearly shown in this article beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Islam yells and screams about occupation, but they are the world's greatest wrongful occupiers and brain washers. Also, they are totally unwilling to give back occupied territory as clearly shown in the case of Palestine and elsewhere. Its like the real criminal pointing at everyone else and calling them criminals to cover up the fact that he is the real criminal.
