Moon worship has been practiced in Arabia since 2000 BC. The crescent moon is the most common symbol of this pagan moon worship as far back as 2000 BC.
In Mecca, there was a god named Hubal who was Lord of the Kabah.
This Hubal was a moon god.
One Muslim apologist confessed that the idol of moon god Hubal was placed upon the roof of the Kaba about 400 years before Muhammad. This may in fact be the origin of why the crescent moon is on top of every minaret at the Kaba today and the central symbol of Islam atop of every mosque throughout the world:
About four hundred years before the birth of Muhammad one Amr bin Lahyo ... a descendant of Qahtan and king of Hijaz, had put an idol called Hubal on the roof of the Kaba. This was one of the chief deities of the Quraish before Islam. (Muhammad The Holy Prophet, Hafiz Ghulam Sarwar (Pakistan), p 18-19, Muslim)

My cat loooves to scratch at the carpet at the door of my apartment. She has completely torn up the carpet at the corner of the door. It's like down to the wood. The carpet type is the berber stuff, I don't know. But I was wondering how much would that cost to repair? Do I have to pay to just get that spot repaired or do I have to pay for the whole place to be re-carpeted in the apartment??

Not a single person has stayed together with the exception of Trista and Ryan (I think that is their names, and I am not even sure if they're still together), yet they still continue to produce them and the audience still watches them.
I watched Rock of Love because I found it entertaining.. and I was actually going to ask on here if anyone knew if Bret and Jess were still together until I saw an ad for Rock of Love 2!
These aren't 'reality' shows, they're just shows they don't have to pay writers and actors for.

Okay, I have this landlord that seems to think he doesn't really have to fix anything around the building unless its something like a furnace or hot water tank. Anyway, everything is falling apart in my apartment, the bathroom floor is soggy like it sinks in when you step on it, and its about 50% of the floor thats like that. You can hear water dripping in the walls, and a few other problems. I've been telling him about this for like a year, mind you the problem wasn't nearly as bad when I FIRST told him. But, he rarely cleans the hall ways or anything, and its gross. And he just doesn't handle anything the way a landlord should, ( SORRY FOR MAKING THIS SO LONG) What can I do to get some help?
