Allah or 'the one' is the Arab successor the Babylonian 'Sin' or 'one, namely Hubal or Baal. Allah was the chief moon deity of the Meccan Quraish tribe – conveniently enough the idol of both Muhammad's family and clan. Now that is a surprise. The family idol of Muhammad took over from Hubal, who was once the 'Lord' or ilah of the Kabaa shrine and who saved the Meccan state from collapse in 571 AD when armies of angels at the command of Hubal smote the invading Ethiopians and laid waste to their army. You won't find Baal in the Koran or Moslem theology. Like the other 360 idols that the pagan Arabs prostrated themselves to, Baal was effaced from history by Muhammad and his propaganda ministers. It was now Allah through Muhammad who was uber alles. As most anyone should know the Moslem cry of Allahu Akhbar, uttered before violence, battle and carnage, means Allah is greatest, not 'god' is great. The last definition is simply another instance of cultural Marxist stupidity and re-wording. Allah is greatest clearly identifies the pantheism of the Arabs and early Moslems. Allah is the greatest of all the idols. That is what the expression means.
Islam is of course the greatest unthinking cult in history. Not many know that Baal is Allah, and that all of the rites and oblations of the current cult have long pre-Muhammadan antecedents. But why think when Baal has blessed you and preordained for you the pleasures of heaven, if you only follow 'his book', the divinely constructed Koran. What rational person does not expect a moon deity to fashion a book and give it to a slave-trading, warring, probably insane and illiterate Arab politician on the make? Makes perfectly rational sense does it not?
There are many obvious reasons why Islam is pagan and fascistic in the true sense of that word, in which the individual is annihilated and the communal elevated. Only Allah has free will – you don't, though Moslems now lie that the Koran says you do. The Koran on every page is very clear. Only Allah determines all. You simply follow his program and shut up. Another clue of pagan fascism and one ignored by Moslems of course, is that this Allah invention has 99 names. Not one of these names is 'Father'. Not one has a personal, familial, humanistic label. This is very important and makes it obvious that this Allah is quite different than the Christian god.
The 'god' of the Old and New Testament changes over course. In the Old texts he is very active, angry, sarcastic, bloody and demanding. In the New Testament he is quiet. Yet throughout the Bible this God ideal is personal and wants some sort of personal relationship with each human. Not so for the Allah thing. The moon deity in Islam is more like a judge who analyzes your every word, action, thought and deed to see if you followed his 'rules'. If you did he is pleased. If not you are damned to hellfire. There is no personal intercourse. It is very impersonal. Christ taught Christians to pray 'our Father in heaven', a stylized analogy of an ideal to be sure (Matthew 6:9). Throughout the Old Testament the angry spiteful and querulous God was all too real to the prophets who had met him;“Have we not all one Father? Has not one God created us? Why do we deal treacherously with one another by profaning the covenant of the fathers?” (Mal 2:10)
Moslems and their many deluded apologists will opine that every Sura starts off with 'In the name of Allah most gracious and most merciful'. Allah is only merciful to Moslems. Non-Moslems, as he states in over 500 verses in the Koran, go to hell-fire. Not very moderate. If you read the Koran you will find that Allah is very much like the God of Moses, stern, unforgiving, nagging, and violent. Worse, he hates Infidels, and demands that Moslems destroy them, harm them, pilfer them, rape them and dominate them – something that Yahweh never demanded of Moses and the earlier prophets.
Further the 'God' of the hated Jews and Christians is portrayed within Islam as pagan. Paganism or polytheism is punishable by death [which is ironic since Allah himself is both]. The Koran clearly states that the Christian God for example or Trinity is polytheistic. This gives Moslems the 'right', nay the obligation to war against them.
“ They are unbelievers who say God is a third of three. No God is there but one God.”
Muslims claim that the name Allah can be found in the Bible. This is nonsense. The only word which is close is Hallelulah, a greeting. It is true in the sense that Baal which Allah replaces is referenced. Allah or Baal was worshipped in Arabia during the time of both the Assyrian and Babylonian empires or from circa 700 B.C. Baal is the anti-christ in the Bible, the villain of pagan cult fascism, replete with human sacrifice, polygamy, bizarre rituals, endless war, slavery and of course the destruction of the first Temple in Jerusalem. Allah is simply the Arab name for the 'Lord' or 'one' copied directly from the Babylonian worship of the moon. Allah is of course the male moon deity.
The first Arabic translation of the Bible was made about the 9th century. Nowhere is the name of Allah found in the Old or New Testament. When Islam became the dominant political force people were coerced to use the name Allah for God or suffer the consequences from the hands of militant Muslims. Because of Islam's dominance Allah became the common name of God. The translators of the Bible gave in to the religious pressures and substituted Allah for Yahweh in the Arabic Bibles, but this is not the name of the God of the Hebrews, nor of the creator who made heaven and earth because of its source in paganism. His nature and attributes have only a few basic similarities and many more differences. And the most important point is that all through the Qu'ran it says Allah has no son.
As well Yahweh or the God in the Bible is called 'the' God of the Jews, an impossibility with Allah and Moslems who hate Jews. Jews are named in the Bible as a chosen people. Allah hates Jews of course, stating that they had gone off the 'sharia' path. So do Moslems expect us to believe that the Jewish God is really Allah who threw over the Jews and embraced the Bedouin? In Sura 5:51 the Allah thing badly declares that Moslems can never have Jew or Christian friends. Muhammad declared that“The last hour will not come before the Muslims fight the Jews, and the Muslims kill them.” (Mishkat Al Masabih Sh.M. Ashraf pp.147, 721, 810-11, 1130). Obviously the Allah thing has nothing in common with the God that the Jews worship.
Islam is an unthinking cult as the above make clear. Try debating a Moslem on the origins of the Allah thing. Good luck. You might as well debate the weather with an occultist from the Climate Change gang.
