The evidence that Allah or 'the Lord', was a moon deity is rather overwhelming. The crescent moon adorns every mosque and flag of Islam. The moon deity Hu'Baal was the chief Lord of Mecca, and Baal is another name for the Babylonian Sin or moon god. Plenty of factual information about Islam's moon god is found here.

To wit: The worship of the moon and its various phases is a well-known historical fact. Hub'Al or Hub Allah, or Hu' Baal, is simply the moon god of Mecca. Baal was another name of the Babylonian moon deity Sin. Baal is often mentioned in the Bible and is linked to evil, including sexual depravity, child sacrifice, bull-worship, polygamy and tyranny.

Moslems are not good with evidence, reality or truth. Muhammad's family were the caretakers of the Baal shrine, and Baal was the Lord or ilah of Mecca, the main idol out of the 360 worshipped by the Meccans. He had a consort [sex slave] named Allat the Sun Goddes and two daughters, Uzza and Manat [Venus and the Moon]. The worship of constellation bodies was a common Near Eastern practice.

Prof. Potts pointed out, “Sin is a name essentially Sumerian in origin which had been borrowed by the Semites.” In ancient Syria and Canna, the Moon-god Sin was usually represented by the moon in its crescent phase. (Full Article)

The Symbol, the crescent moon, is very important here because Muslim scholars argue that the presence of the Moon God in Arabia proves nothing. Sure - they say, there was Hubal in Mecca and this deity was worshipped there together with other 360+ gods. This is why Muhammad got rid of all these idols and converted all the Arab tribes into the only and true religion - Islam.

There are however strong arguments against this interpretation.

If it is true that Muhammad abandoned all ancient Quraish deities and Hubal - the most powerful one, why is it that many Islamic rites and customs are the same as the old pagan ones?

The pagan rituals of pre-Muhammadan Arabia were simply codified as 'divinely' inspired by Muhammad. This was the political compromise effected by Muhammad to allow the former pagan Meccans the belief, that they were still worshipping in the same manner as their ancestors.

Muhammad to the Meccans: “Keep your rituals, your rites and even your private beliefs he told them; but only worship the one Allah as the Lord of Lords, the only deity of divine inspiration. And remember most importantly, I am his spokesman, interpreter and only agent on earth. As well, by doing so I will not have my brigands cut off your heads. Oh, and by the way, pay that Zakat tax to the centralizing state power. We need that to fund the Umma, Jihad and public projects.”

Baal is allied with Satan in the Old Testament. When viewing the cult of Islam, its Jihad, its murder, its endless war, its sex trading, its polygamy and sex obsession, its pedophilia, its intolerance, and its hate, it is not hard to see why this association is valid.
