I had a very bright former moslem live with me for more than a year.

He did extensive research on "Allah."

He is utterly convinced to his bone marrow of the "moon god" issue.

Given his brightness, his Morrocan ancestry back to the 'prophet' . . . etc.

I defer to his study and wisdom on such matters.

The black cloth forms essentially a cube. I had no idea what was underneath it other than the meteorite bit.

Yes, they could be back up and running. And the inclination, tenacity would be in that direction. Nevertheless, being a basically very superstitious people, as I understand it--massive proportions of them would be very rattled.

The "Moon God" stuff arises out of the ancient Middle Eastern practice of using the phases of the Moon as the basis for the calendar. This sort of thing happens the closer you get to the Equator because the changes in the Sun are not so apparant.

However, the Moon God is no more relevant to Islam than the Sun God is to Christianity.

Then there's Judaism that uses both kinds of calendars, and I don't think anyone would suggest that Judaism is driven by a Moon God/Sun God dichotomy!

Your friend who is a Moslem who is convinced of the Moon God business should see an Imam about that. The man definitely needs some counseling.
