Islam's origins have been traced back by scholars to the ancient fertility religion of the worship of the moon god which was always the dominant religion of Arabia. The moon god was worshipped by praying toward Mecca several times a day, making an annual pilgrimage to the Kabah which was a temple of the moon god, running around the Kabah seven times, caressing an idol of a black stone set in the wall of the Kabah, running between two hills, making animal sacrifices, gathering on Fridays for prayers, giving alms to the poor, etc.. These were pagan rites practised by the Arabs long before Muhammad was born.
The Crescent Moon
What religion today practices the pagan rites of the moon god? Islam! This explains why the crescent moon is the symbol of Islam. It is placed on top of mosques and minarets and displayed on hats, flags, rugs, amulets and even jewellery. Every time you see the Muslim symbol of a crescent moon, you are seeing the ancient symbol of the moon god.
Pray for GW and NY!
God Bless America!
The shrines at Mecca had already been in business some 2000 or more years when Jesus lived, and Muslims worship a vengeful, wrathful, violent, feudalistic, medievalistic, and horridly cruel and evil demon.
There is no common ground available: "hay moros y cristianos." This is just the latest battle in the 1379-year war between Christianity and Islam.
PS Muhammad himself was a highwayman, a bandit, by trade, and lived by murder and robbery of camel caravans.
P.S. I know any number of qualified "Oilmen" who would have NO PROBLEM drilling through a plain of RADIOACTIVE GLASS to get "Product!"

Thank you.........I had completely forgotten this thread, posted nearly three years ago. If I may say so......it was a tad prescient.
Bumping, again.
This thread should Never be forgotten. God Bless.
...and yet again, I had forgotten this thread. Thank you for the ‘bump’. Hard to believe that all of this was said nearly 9 years ago.....and we’re still fighting, still sending our children over there (I now have three sons in the Army).
