I believe you refer to the Arab insistance that "Allah" is related to the Hebrew word Eloah", which translates generically into "god".

The Allah of the Qu Ran according to the Encyclopedia of Religion says: "'Allah' is a pre-Islamic name ... corresponding to the Baylonian Bel."

I don't know for sure that Allah was a 'moon god'...only that he was one of a pantheon of Meccan deities.

"Anyway, since you want to blame a religion for the misery of the Arabs"

LOL...idiot. I'm the one who gets flamed constantly for DEFENDING Arabs - the general population - much more than I should.

I blame a bunch of religious clerics who consider a dislike of fighting to be a disease, and the idiots who so much want to satisfy their personal blood lust that they use the statements of mad mullahs to commit murder. I blame people who say that peace with Muslims is not possible until "the restoration of the Muslim glory and power, when the banner of Tawhid is raised to control the world and direct it, with no resistance" is acheived.

The world doesn't revolve around YOU, OR the propaganda you attempt to perpetuate.

No, idiot, all I am saying is that the word "Allah" in that part of the world and in their language means "God."

Then, idiot, if you're not sure about something, don't rip open that huge orifice of yours about it.

It's that the world is round, idiot, and that the universe does not revolve around you :^D
