Allah is originally a moon god.

To be blunt, Mohammed pulled his whole religion out of his rear end . . .grafting together Arab pagan moon practices with most of the old and new testament.

It's fundamentally inconsistent and theologically unsound.

Allah is originally a moon god.

Perhaps the name Allah was originally applied to a moon god, but that is irrelevant to how the word is used today. If Muslims say that they worship the God of Abraham, and not some moon god, who are you or I to argue with them? They know their beliefs better than we do.

To be blunt, your comment is crude and offensive; it damages your credibility.

It's fundamentally inconsistent and theologically unsound.

I have a colleague -- a very intelligent and well educated Muslim -- who would disagree with your assessment.

Tell me, have you made an extensive study of Islam, its origins, teachings, and practices? Or are you merely repeating what some religious bigot has told you?
