Another Insult to Islam
NASA Mission Condemned
by
M.T.
Muslims have expressed their outrage at NASA for crashing two rockets into the South Pole of the moon. One rockets was the size of a bus; the second of a compact car.
The purpose of the mission was to determine if lunar craters contained cakes of ice.
The rockets may not have dislodged ice, but they certainly fanned fires throughout the Muslim world.
“America does not own the moon,” Shareef Abdel wrote on a blog. “It belongs to us. The moon has always belonged to Islam.”
This sentiment was shared by Ahmed Bieheiri, another Muslim blogger, who said: “The moon is sacred to all Muslims. What the U.S. has done is an outrage to us.”
“Stay away from the moon, all ye hypocrites and blasphemers,” another incensed Islamist fumed. “You have given us the ultimate insult – - “Zub B’ Ayin” a dick in the eye.”
Such complaints reflect the fact that Allah was originally a Moon God and that the Crescent Moon is the symbol of the Muslim world.
In pre-Muslim times, Arabs worshipped Hubal, the fertility god of the moon. His image, the crescent moon, was placed on the roof of the Kaaba, the sacred black stone which stands in the Center of Mecca. Hubal was called al-ilah or “the god” by the Bedouin tribes. Al-ilah was later shortened to Allah. The Sura contains stories of Arabs praying to Allah while standing before the image of Hubal.
Before the birth of Muhammad in 570 A.D., his tribe – - the Quarish – - paved the way for monotheism by worshipping Allah as the chief god and by wearing symbols of the crescent moon.

If you only have one idol, is it still idolatry?

Of course it belongs to Islam. It symbolizes the desolation that is wrought by their evil “religion”

Violate Allah, the child abusing, murderous thug. how can one do that. Perhaps a mutual sexual relationship with a Greek Moon Goddess such as Artemis, yes.
