"Fasting during Ramadan to nourish the spirit" - is Allah a generic god?
Examiner ^ | Sep 15, 2010 AD | Mariano Grinbank

Posted on 09/15/2010 6:16:52 AM PDT by MarianoApologeticus

In the holy month of August, The Houston Chronicle published a generic article about Ramadan...

Within the article even when clear reference is made to Allah, “God” is referenced, “It was a hot, tiring day, I have a headache, but alhamdulillah, it's all worth it, it's all for God.” “Alhamduillah” is also sometimes translated generically as “Praise to God” but clearly specifically means “Praise to Allah.” The fact that some will still want to argue grammar shows at least two things:
1) USA’s culture is attempting very diligently to bend over backwards to please Muslims and 2) Islam is continuously watered down in the USA by Muslims and non-Muslims alike....

“Allah” is the desert moon god, a satanic and bloody deity. Everywhere he dominates, there is bloodshed, poverty, squalor, and slavery.

Allah is also what Arab Christians call God. Allah is what Arabic speakers read when they read John 3:16 in their own language.

> Allah is also what Arab Christians call God.

Probably related to the generic “Eloi” in Aramaic.

Nevertheless, the genocidal pedophile pirate, Mohammed, adapted the malevolent desert moon god as his “allah”.

To me, the word conjures demonically possessed proselytes of the polygamist pedophile pirate.

The “fasting” I saw while living in Yemen during two different Ramadans was a joke. People ate and partied all night and “fasted” during the day by sleeping. It was against the law to fire anyone during that month or so we were told by management.

Mohamid combined 360 relegions into one and put the moon god of one of them as the replacement got and called him allah. The Bible is 66 books written by many people over 3500 years. The Koran was written by one man over a short period of time.

I have never heard the "360 religions" statement; I always thought the hate crime known as islam came from 4 religions soleley:: Christianity, Judaism, zoroastroanism (who the mozlems exterminated; none remain),and the pharoanic moon god cult.

Please feel free to expand.

I’ve noticed recently on Youtube comments Muslims coaching other Muslims to use “god” instead of “Allah”. They tell them that by using the word “Allah”, they appear to be worshipping a different God than the God that Christians know from the Bible.

However, Muslims also have freely admitted they do not worship the same God as Christians, as evidenced by the famous incription in the Dome of the Rock, clearly meant as an Islamic apologetic to Christians:

“O you People of the Book, overstep not bounds in your religion, and of God speak only the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, is only an apostle of God, and his Word which he conveyed unto Mary, and a Spirit proceeding from him. Believe therefore in God and his apostles, and say not Three. It will be better for you. God is only one God. Far be it from his glory that he should have a son.”

The “moon god cult” was only one cult among 360 cults that was present and worshipping at Mecca before Muhammed came along. The original purpose of the Ka’aba was simply to house the 360 idols that the Arabs worshipped there.

Just to put this out there again....Muslims serve a pagan God...

I can't remember all the fact right now. I think I have also seen the 360 religions explanation here on FR before. Mohamed did take parts of Christianity and Judaism to get support form them. He said that Jesus was only a prophet and that Jesus would return and break the crosses.

Orthodox Christians fast during Great Lent to nourish the soul. But we don’t have those big “iftar” parties at night (which usually feature meat, which is forbidden during Great Lent)!!!!

The muslim Ramadan is derived from the Orthodox Great Lent—with more than one twist!!!!

No need to duck. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a single Unitarian post on FR :)
