So what if Allah was the name of a pagan moon God, this is a well known fact among Muslims. Note: "Was" - what is a name at the end of the day its the concept that counts. You may come up with the crap that Allah is a personal name but do smack yourself across the head and realise that it is simply a compund word made from the words Al (the) Lah (God). Arab Christians were using this word for God alongside the pagans. Want proof? hear it yourself from Arab Christians: http://www.christiananswers.net/q-eden/allah.html
And here is a verse from the Quran:
“And from among His signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Prostrate yourselves not to the sun nor to the moon, but prostrate yourselves to God who CREATED them, if you (really) worship Him.” (41:37)
and...
[17:110] Say (unto mankind): Cry unto Allah, or cry unto the Beneficent, unto whichsoever ye cry (it is the same). His are the most beautiful names. And thou (Muhammad), be not loud-voiced in thy worship nor yet silent therein, but follow a way between.
Don't be an idiot and acknowledge the simple facts. Western missionaries have too much dirt in their eyes and ears. The truth speaks for itself.
