Now we all know, that Judism and Christianty are against Idol's because of the God we pray to, the one true God the God of Israel, but muslims pray to the God of the Arabs, Allah ask any Arab what God did the Arabs pray to before Islam, and it's still Allah, the Koran admits that the temple that they keep their God in was used for Idol's before, and this is in their own Koran

Its a fact.
Not for debate.
Allah was known as the "Moon God" to pre-islamic Arabs.

Wow, you're very misinformed about the true teachings of Islam....
Let me tell you a story:
Jesus once went into a temple where tax collectors were marketing goods, using a holy place for unholy actions. Jesus went into the temple and wiped out all of the "bad" that they were doing. The temple was still used as a religious house of worship even after the market was closed....
Similarly, and pay attention, the Kaaba was used to worship Idols NOT by Muslims but by Pagen worshipers even long before the religion was discovered. As Jesus removed the "sin" from the temple, so Muslims removed the "sin" (worship of Idols) from the Kabba.
Muslims do NOT worship the Kaaba, they worship God. The same God that you and I worship. God is referred to as "Allah" because "Allah" is the arabic word for "God". Jesus cried out on the cross before he died "Eligh, Eligh, why have you forsaken me?" Just as "Eligh" (sp?) is a word for "God" or "Father", "Allah" is too. Why do Jews refer to God as "Yaweh"? Does the word "God" in any other language make God less real? Does it make any religion inferior because they do not speak the same language that you and I do?
It is people like you that give Christianity and Judaism a bad name, and for that I am ashamed of you. I would sincerely suggest that you do a little research on this topic before you post ignorant lies about other religions.
I am a Christian and because of that, I love all people, including those that may share a different religious perspective from me. Because I am a Christian, I make sure that I get my information right before I talk to people about something that I'm not very firmiliar with. I'm not sure where you came across this information but I suggest you correct it.
This is an outrage. You don't know how dangerous spreading lies is. I'm not talking about dangerous in terms of your level of safety, I'm talking about dangerous in terms of OTHER people's safety. I have a professor, one of the most amazing people I have ever met in my entire life, one of the greatest friends I'll ever meet and one of the most kindhearted people I have ever come across who happens to be a Muslim. People like you have thrown things at him in grocery stores, thrown bibles in his face because they're misinformed. Is that fair? NO!
Get your facts straight....

yes it was the house of idols before god ordered ibraham and ishamel to change into a symbol of a godly house to prove faith by visiting it, and god built another one in the heavens right above it.
and by the way its position is a miracle because its corners are true east west north and south. and the perfect center of the earth.
peace
and also yes ignorants call allah moon god because of a verse in quran thats says the one of the signs of judgement day is that the moon will split, not related to god other than any creation he created
