A research article posted on the website of terrorist-turned-Christian Walid Shoebat contends the oldest known references to the Islamic deity Allah are not in Arabian records but in Babylonian artifacts.
Ancient tablets describe “Alla” as a deity of “violence and revolution.” “This link sheds new light since for many years we have been hearing various ideas on where Allah came from. Christian and Muslim scholars – as well as secular professors – presented numerous arguments on just who Allah really is,” wrote Ted Shoebat, the son of Walid Shoebat.
In his heavily footnoted project, he writes that historians have suggested Islam’s beginnings are found in the Persian religion Zoroastrianism, while others, including Christian writers, argue Allah was a moon-god in Babylon.
The younger Shoebat, who already has published several books, said previously the oldest known reference to “Allah” was in northern and southern Arabia about the fifth century B.C., according to Kenneth J. Thomas.
The new find, however, links the name to....

Here's my guess...
Revelation 20: 1-4
Did you know those animals can do bursts of 75MPH and can run flat out for long distances at 65MPH.
Flying!
BTW, Laz, my interest in the Sa'ami started with a need to research a peculiar heart malady found in many of my relatives ~ I found it in a single tribe of Sa'ami ~ not all of them, just one (also associated with a type of porphyria) ~ the last white folks on Earth to be known up to modern times for making a living exclusively on reindeer.
The relatives get a relatively benign bit of surgery and it fixes the problem. There are several other marker genes but we don't need to go into them.
So, the way you get genes is from your ancestors, hence my hobby ~ and it's also proven invaluable in figuring out what is making the relatives sick and what the kids have to watch out for.
The Swedish medical establishment loves to study these guys ~ they are definitely adapted to the Arctic and have a pre-modern genome!
I think Renee Zelweiger, Kirsten Dunst and Pam Anderson are part of the same Skolt Sa'ami nation, but might be from the closely related Inari. The dude the future queen of Sweden married (her personal trainer) is also part of that crowd, as is Elin Nordgren (the now very rich former Mrs. Tiger Woods.
Just like to note that with the Skolt and Inari you really could do worse than marrying your cousins ~ much worse really ~
So far, so good.
There are NO Moslems in the Arctic. That’s because every 18 years they’d starve to death during Ramadan in the Summer!
marxists and islamists united to cut off Adam Smith's invisible hand.
Oh my God! I'm afraid to open my appointment book!
Arrrrhhhh!!!!
This has turned into a very interesting thread. I’m glad I didn’t miss it.
Mystery Babylon!!!! Mystery no more!
LOL!!!!
I subscribe to the idea that mohammad was a great conqueror. That much is clear. I also think it's reasonable that he saw what happened to empires once their leaders (in this case him) died. They were broken up and conquered by someone else.
His rather absurd religion does a good job of keeping the empire together (convert, pay a “tax”, or die).
I don't know if you're arguing that islam is somehow a legitimate religion in the same way that Christianity or Judaism is legitimate, but I don't buy that idea. It's clear - by their actions - that muslims are lacking in a variety of areas. Their actions speak so loudly that I can't hear a word they're saying. Kind of like obama. Actually, A LOT like obama.
Mohammad died long before the period of Conquest ~ and, amazingly, the only sources telling anybody he existed were created by the same committee that invented Islam.
Most serious analysts take note of the fact the Arabs had gold to pay (Petra had a whale of a lot of gold) and they literally bought existing armies to do their bidding in their sweep across North Africa.
Incidently it seems to be mainly in English and German that these links to the ancient gods in all the names of the days exist.
In polish it translates as sunday=niedziela (no working), monday = poniedziałek (after sunday), tuesday = on track, wed = middle, thu = fourth day, fri = fifth day, sat = sobota (sabbath)
and in French and Italian some of the days have this, others don't.
:-P
you mean names like Venkatanarasimharajuvaripeta or Srinivasa Chakraborthy Tiruvaneleshwaramparameshwara Aiyar?
I’m pretty sure Krishna is not a snake god. He’s depicted as a dark-skinned human, not a snake. That would be Naga or Nagini (female). Perhaps also Shiva, a Dravidian god in the form of an ascetic protected by a hooded cobra
