text: a history lesson, not an insult. did you know mohamed married rich widows and a nine yr old?   matthew 7:15 beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.  islam's allah was nothing more than a throw away idol. the present meaning of a word is irrelevant to what it meant in ancient times. the word "allah" is a good example. when confronted by the historical evidence that the word was used by pagan arabs in pre-islamic times to refer to a high god who was married to the sun-goddess and had three daughters, some muslims will quote dictionaries, encyclopedias, etc. to prove that "allah means god." they are thus using modern definitions to define what the word meant over a thousand years ago! what "allah" means now has no bearing on what it meant before muhammad. muhammed was a liar and a pedophile. many of his prophecies failed making him a liar, which islam says a prophet cannot be! he went to the pagan kabba, went through 350 idols and found allah and declared it the god of islam. islam's allah was nothing more than a throw away idol. some muslims have claimed that the word "allah" is in the bible because the biblical word "allelujah." they then mispronounce the word as "allah-lujah" but "allelujah" is not a compound arabic word with "allah" being the first part of the word. it is a hebrew word with the name of god being "jah" (or yahweh) and the verb "alle" meaning "praise to." it means "praise to yahweh." the arabic word "allah" is not in the word. the same error is found in the muslim argument that the word "baca" (psa. 94:6) really means "mecca." the valley of baca is in northern israel. the quran is a book made over 100 years after mohammed. a book not in its original form because all the draft copies were burned under fear of death. a book claiming lineage to abraham from ishmael, and that since ishmael was born before isaac, he was the firstborn and the one taken to the mountain. god did not recognize ishmael as the firstborn though as he was born out of wedlock. abraham was to sacrifice his son as proof to god of his faith. the lord stopped him from doing that though as we know. that being the case, a sacrifice had to be as pure as possible. ishmael being born out of wedlock did not fit the bill, this was overlooked for the blessings to come by god. isaac fit perfectly! more here... http://planttel.net/~meharris1/mikescorner.html
