Muslims are people who have been deceived for generations. Many are trying hard to destroy the credibility of Robert Morey's book which exposes Islam. However, the ARCHAEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE also exposes Islam as a false religion based on pagan idol worship. So, Robert Morey aside, the truth can still be told. For a solid refutal of Islam's claims, visit this page of Mideast Newswire:

P.S. For all of the ludicrous claims of Islam concerning Moses, Abraham, Jesus, etc., here's a fast fact:
Muhammed was not even BORN until approx. 583 years AFTER JESUS DIED. And Jesus's crucifixion was prophesied by Isaiah approx. 700 years before JESUS WAS BORN. The Qu'ran is nothing but a too-late, after the date cheap copy of prophecy so false that no one who can do the math would believe.
A NOTE TO JAMAL: The pope is NOT a man of God. He is not a Christian. He is a false christ.

The crescent is the sign of the Muslim calender that follows the moon, not like the christian calender, it is 11 days less, and the month starts when the moon is a crescent and continues till it is back to it's crescent shape again, that is why the holy month of Ramadan cannot be decided till the crescent shows the first day, so the moon is a symbol of the Islamic calender nothing else.

Muslims do not worship the moon god. We worship the One true God of Abraham. The crescent it not a symbol of Islam either. It is used in our art because we are not allowed to duplicate living things (like people or animals) so we use the moon to symbolize the Holy Prophet Muhammad. The Sun symbolizes God's light and the moon being a celestial body that reflect the divine light. Therefore, the symbolism is that the Holy Prophet Muhammad reflects the light of God.

Quran proves - "Allah" is NOT a 'moon god':
"And from among His Signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Do not bow down (prostrate) to the sun nor to the moon, but only bow down (prostrate) to "Allah" Who created them, if you (really) worship Him." [Quran 41:37
Did the Meccans worship the true God since they recognized "Allah" ? Was "Allah" one of the gods of the Ka'bah? And if so, where did the Meccans derive the recognition and the name of "Allah" from?
Answer:
First, "Allah" was not one of the 360 idols which were in the Ka'abah, although Morey has claimed this without evidence. When the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) entered Meccah victorious he went into the Ka'abah and broke the idols therein.
Second, the word "Allah" has been used all along for the name of "God" in the Arabic Bible for Jews and Christians alike. The proof is easy to verify; simple go to any hotel or motel on the earth and look in the drawer next to the bed and take out the complimentary Bible, placed there by the Giddeons and then look on page 5 or 6 where they list the examples of translations they have made into other languages. The second example given is for Arabic speakers. The verse is from the Gospel of John, chapter 3, verse 16. Everyone knows this one; "For God so loved the world..." and the word in Arabic for "God" is "Allah." Then if you have a Bible in Arabic, look on page one in Genesis, and you will find the word "Allah" fourteen times.
Next, the word for "God" to the Arabs, ever since the time of Abraham, peace be upon him, has been "Allah" and He is to them, the Lord of the Ka'bah (the black box in the center of the Holy Sanctuary in Makkah). He was the unseen God whom they would call upon when in distress. Yes, they worshipped the true God but their worship was not purely for Him. They also worshipped other gods thinking that they would act as intermediaries between them and the true God Allah.
The Arabs know of Allah because Abraham visited Meccah and together with his son Ishmael laid the foundation of the Ka'abah. The descendants of Ishmael retained some of the worship rites and beliefs from Abraham. This included their knowledge of the true God Allah.
Elsewhere we have shown conclusively that the true god, "El" of the Bible is the same as "Allah" of the Quran.
Please refer to: "Yahweh, Jehovah, or Allah - What Is God's Real Name?" by Sheikh Shabir Ally.
What is the significance of the cresent moon?
The Qur'ân answers this question before you asked it. Read this verse:
They ask you about the new moons. Say: These are signs to mark fixed periods of time for mankind and for the pilgrimage (Qur'ân 2:189).

The crescent became the emblem followed via later caliphates and Muslim rulers as a longtime and acknowledged image of ability in Western Asia. It became also an emblem of the Ottoman Empire. in spite of the reality that the crescent became initially a mundane image of authority for Muslim rulers, it truly is now oftentimes used to characterize the Islamic faith. The crescent structure is likewise used interior the Pakistani flag (symbolising progression) and a white 5-pointed huge call (symbolising user-friendly, recognize-how and expertise).

This is a lie fabricated by those who try and impede the spreading of islam such as whynotaskdon. A man who calls the pope a "poop", and they call themselves man of god.
As for their lies god says in the quran

"Who doth greater wrong than one who invents falsehood against Allah, even as he is being invited to Islam? And Allah guides not those who do wrong"
061.008
"Their intention is to extinguish Allah's Light (by blowing) with their mouths: But Allah will complete (the revelation of) His Light, even though the Unbelievers may detest (it)."
