Ali-ilah or 'The Deity' was of course a pre-Islamic symbol of celestial worship found throughout the Near East. Babylonian, Assyrian and pre-Mohammed Arabian records make this clear. The moon cult endured some 3.500 to 5.000 years before the advent of Mohammed's Islamic program. The pre-Muslim Arabs had in fact 360 Moon 'Gods' and Ali-ilah was the chief moon deity. It was also the family 'God' of Mohammed who were charged with 'guarding' Ali-ilah inside the Kabah shrine in Mecca. Islam is simply the worship of a moon cult. Absurd one could say.
And dangerous.
In fact Islamic pagan fascism is a graver danger than European variants of fascism; Japanese Shinto intolerance; or the Chinese version of opportunistic Communism. It is a world-wide ideology premised on the fascist un-holy book the Koran. It has the disguise of a 'religion' where the moon-cult is erroneously conflated with Western conceptions of God, justice, mercy, tolerance and gratitude. Islam has none of these characteristics.
As the text of the accompanying video makes plain – based on archaeology, facts and written records:
“The Arabians esteemed the moon god, but had more difficulty identifying with Marduk, the supreme Babylonian deity associated primarily with the city of Babylon. The god Sin, "The Controller of the Night," had the crescent moon as his emblem, and the lunar-based calendar, which became the primary religious symbols of Islam, was worshiped in Arabia as AI-Ilah. Mecca became the center of all pagan religions of Arabia before Mohammed. AI-Ilah, the Moon God, was the "Lord of the Ka'aba" ("cube") which held the pagan black rock idol and was formerly the center of pagan worship, ruling over 360 idols. Lucrative trade routes resulted in Mecca.”
All true and all black and white factual elucidations of reality. There is no grey about the origins of Islam, Ali-ilah or Mohammed's cult parading as a religion. Mohammed's family as the guardian of the Black asteroid rock housed in the Kabah were well off from the riches of the Meccan cult and the visitations by worshipers to the shrine. Pagan shrines were always huge business in the ancient world. [see the second temple of Jerusalem as well for a remarkable story of economic enrichment]. Mohammed's family devotion to ali-ilah are evidenced by the name of his father Abd-Allah or Slave of Allah; and by his uncle's name Obied Allah or Servant of Allah.
Allah is obviously the combined name for ali-ilah or 'The God' referencing the male deity of the Meccan moon cult. It is clear that Islam has no similarity with, or connection to Judeo-Christianity. It was and is a moon cult.
So now we are told that a Meccan moon cult, carefully nurtured by one family, within a privileged Arab tribe is somehow a universal 'God' to be equated with Judeo-Greek-Christian ideas of an anthropomorphic being ? We are told repeatedly, to believe that a ritualized form of pre-modern celestial submission and worship is somehow an expression of spiritual enlightenment ? Further we are told by our betters that to criticize the madness of this cult is somehow a hate crime ?
The stupidity of this view expressed by the cultural-Marxist, politically-correct, post- modern elite, cannot be expressed with existing words.
There is no word or phrase which is appropriate enough to describe the mad insanity of a society, or of a world-view which insists that an Arabian family moon cult deity is not only beyond criticism but should be embraced as part of the world's 'diversity'; 'harmony' and 'cultural richness'. Pre-modern and post-Mohammed moon worship was: bloody, premised on death; expansive; intolerant; superstitious; anti-humanist; and savagely anti-civilizational. All moon cults worshiped the spilling of blood, the slave trading of women; polygamy; the reduction of women to sex chattel; and the imposition of blind obedience which militates against free-thinking; free-speech; innovation and creativity.
And yet we the unwashed peasant mass are told that such characteristics inform a 'religion' ?
Being ignorant is not a blessing. Being gullible not a virtue. Being an automaton not an aspiration.
Islam is not a religion. Just thinking for oneself makes that clear.
