No figure was ever referred to as "Ilah." The subordinate deities were generally considered to be Allah's issue or related to him somehow in the minds of the polytheists, just as various deities such as Asherah (or Elat, corresponding to Al-Lat) 'Anat, and Dagon were associated with the Supreme...

:eusa_eh: Whoever comes unto an animal, kill him and kill it with him. (Bukhari) Whoever comes unto an animal, kill him and kill it with him. (Mishkat ul-Masabih) Whoever you find unto an animal, kill him and kill the animal with him. (At-Tirmidhi) ...Cursed is he who goes in unto an...

No need to be sorry to me. You clearly had something in mind when you mentioned "filth and degradation," I was just curious to know what that was.

You can do whatever you want. And no, why would I be upset about someone else's lack of confidence in their own words?

Of course not -- that's why I suggested that we ship them off to camps.

My sarcasm must have gone over your head. Thanks for the advice; I read every day. One that refuses to defend or explain her own remarks, yes. :lol:

Let's hope Germany gets its act together and exterminates the vermin (again.) These new vermin seem a bit more violent.

I deny that you know anything about naskh or how that sort of thing is determined.

"Moon god" is probably a reference to the patron deity of Quraysh, Hubal, of Moabite origin. After that [Abu Sufyan] started reciting cheerfully, "O Hubal, be high!" On that the Prophet said (to his companions), "Why don't you answer him back?" They said, "O Messenger of God, what shall we...

I'm not surprised you'd be willing to believe anything somebody made up about Islam. :rolleyes: "Allah" has always referred to the supreme deity; the sin of the pagans was worshiping lesser associate-gods alongside Him. He was never worshiped as a "moon deity" and the association of the...
