THE TRUTH ABOUT THE MOHAMMEDIAN FAITH (ISLAM)

THE PILLARS AND BELIEFS OF ISLAM WERE ADOPTED BY MOHAMMED FROM VARIOUS PAGAN RELIGIONS ALREADY PREVALENT IN 7TH CENTURY ARABIA.

* The Kabah was a sanctuary in Mecca in pre-Islamic Arabia where travelers would enter and worship their particular god. There were 360 idols in the Kabah.2,3,4

* "Allah", the name of the god of the Muslims, was the well-known name of one of the many gods worshiped in the Kabah in pre-Islamic times.9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25 Mohammed promoted a god of whom all in Arabia were well-aware.

* A pilgrimage to Mecca to worship at the Kabah at least once in a lifetime was a strong tradition.1,6,8

* Once pagan pilgrims arrived in Mecca, they ran around the Kabah seven times, kissed the black stone, and ran about a mile to the Wadi Mani to throw stones at the devil (now traditions of Islam).6

* The pagans bowed and prayed toward Mecca during set times daily.6

* The Sabean religion worshiped the heavenly bodies. Their pagan rite of fasting began with the appearance of the crescent moon and ceased when the crescent moon reappeared. Mohammed adopted this ritual, which is now called the Ramadan month of fasting.5,7

"ALLAH" HAD NO SON, BUT HE DID HAVE THREE DAUGHTERS!

* The Sabeans in Pre-Islamic Arabia believed the moon god and the sun goddess had three daughters, Al-Lat, Al-Uzza, and Manat, collectively called "the daughters of Allah". These gods were worshiped as the highest in the ranks of Arabian deities.26,27

* The crescent moon is seen everywhere in Arabia's archeology, art, flags, the tops of mosques and minarets, in religious rites such as Ramadan which begins and ends with the crescent moon, special prayer services during eclipses of the moon, etc.

* Mohammed's family was especially devoted to Allah, the moon god, and Allah's three daughters who were seen as intercessors. The literal Arabic name for Mohammed's father was Abd-Allah, and his uncle's name was Obied-Allah.

WOMEN ARE DENIED THE MOST BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS.

* "Men are the managers of the affairs of women... Those you fear may be rebellious - admonish; banish them to their couches and beat them [also translated "scourge them"]". Sura 4:34

* Men may divorce any one of their one to four wives for any reason whatsoever. A woman has no right to divorce her husband.

* Women are denied voting privileges in Kuwait, are denied the right to drive a car in Saudi Arabia, are unwillingly subjected to a crude surgical procedure in which their clitoris is excised, etc.
