There is a Pagan temple in Mecca (the Muslim holy city) with a huge Idol, all it is really is a huge black STONE. I mean even if Muslims dont believe in jesus I'd think that in the old book god dont like you praying to stones. Ask any ARAB what God did Arabs pray to before Islam, and do you know what they'll tell you Allah because its the same pagan God

No wonder they're at war with us. They are worshiping some pagan entity. On some level in their cult, their leadership is consciously leading their people to worship a false god.

It is the Kabba. I am not a muslim, but I am going to defend the Muslim faith. Why do you call it a "pagan" temple? The huge black stone is not an idol, and Allah just means "God" in Arabic. I am a Christian, but what you are saying about the muslims shows that you know nothing about Islam. You should make some Arabic friends and learn a little.

There is also a story that the stone taken away by muslim invaders from the Banaras temple in India is the one worshipped, touched and kissed and also they go around 7 times in Mecca. That is a temple idol. Even before Mohammed was born there was a temple and idols there. Those idols were removed and this new one installed later.

First of all, Muslims all believe that Jesus is the Son of God (Allah) but they don't believe He was God. They also believe that Jesus, not Muhammed, will be the one to come a second time. But that Jesus will be a Muslim and live only as a human.
Mecca was the place that Muhammed claims to have spoke to God often. That is why Muslims feel it is a sacred place. They aren't praying to a stone. They are on holy ground. Allah is the name that Muhammed said was God's true name. He said that Allah told him this. CHristians call God - God. Jews call God - YHVH in writting and Adonai in speaking.
I suggest that you review your source of information and read more than just one magazine article. Everything you mentioned here is not true at all.

But, but, but...it's a sacred stone! It used to be white, but it turned black cuz too many non-Muslims touched it, and their evil soaked into it.
Ummm...the rock fell at Adam's feet one day, and Abraham found it later. Abraham hauled it all the way down to Mecca and built a temple around it.
Yes, that's right Abraham built a temple around a ROCK. This is the same guy who smashed all his father's IDOLS. I know, there is no account of any of this in the Bible, except the part where Abraham SMASHED THE IDOLS and CONDEMNED IDOLATRY, but Mohammad said that all that other stuff happened, and we know what happens to people who don't believe what Mohammad says!
DON'T ARGUE WITH MOHAMMAD! ;)

I believe the stone you are referring to is part of the Kabaa, it isn't inside the temple itself.
While Muslims do face in the direction of Kabaa (which is borderline idloatry) they claim to be praying to GOD while they are doing this, GOD in heaven. I personally think it is shifty, especially that part about praying to two angels sitting on their shoulders or something to that extent (it has been a while since I have attended mosque), and I DON'T think it is what the one GOD had in mind.

We muslims worship The One Almighty God (Allah in arabic), we belive in all of God's massengers and prophets including Jesus peace be upon him. We believe that Jesus was born by a miracle and that he is a human being, chosen by God to be His prophet.
The black stone that you refer to is Ka'aba, we dont worship that stone, we use it as a direction, so all the muslims in the whole world pray to one direction. Thats all.

I think you need to look up the modern definition of "Pagan." Just because something is non-Christian doesn't make it Pagan. You're using it as an insult here and as a Pagan, I find that offensive. From now on I expect you to capitalize it out of respect just as I capitalize the name of your religion.
