since Allah is the moon God dont you think muslims should look towards the moon and worship it instead of the kaaba?

If you are not Muslim, what right do you have to question or criticize their beliefs?

The "moon god" lie!
There is a big difference between ignorance and lies. In the case of the "Allah is a moon god" false charge, the ignorants are the ones who claim it without knowing anything, and the liars are the ones who invented this lie and spent a great deal of time spreading it. While I provided in the link above the ample evidence that debunks this lie, but for the sake of showing how ridiculous and low this lie is, I would like to debunk it using only one Noble Verse from the Noble Quran just to show how ridiculous some Jews and Christians are with their absurd lies:
"Among His Sings are the Night and the Day, and the Sun and the Moon. Adore not the sun and the moon, but adore God, Who created them, if it is Him ye wish to serve. (The Noble Quran, 41:37)"
The reason why this lie was thought out and became very popular among many of the Western ignorants (sorry to say that) is because some desperate liars from among the Middle Eastern jews and christians knew that Muslims use the moon to determine the timing and the beginning and the ending of the Fasting Month of Ramadan. The moon, stars, dawn, evening-sky-lines/breaks and others during Islam's times and even before were used and still are used for determining time. Obviously back then digital clocks did not exist! So the only means they had for determining time was by using GOD Almighty's astronomy/cosmos that was available to them.
Here is a little some thing for YOU, the reader, to ponder upon:
The 5-daily sets of Prayers in Islam are spread throughout the day. They start when the morning starts, at dawn, and they end when night comes (when the sky turns completely black). Between those two times, the 5-daily sets of Prayers are practiced. Now the question to YOU and to those who are not too dumb to be fooled by the Islam-phobic liars is:
How do you think the Muslims determined the exact timing of each set of Prayer, 1500 years ago, when they didn't have satellites and digital technology available?
Do you now see why the moon and other GOD Almighty-created astronomical objects were used for determining time?
Do we worship the dawn? No!
Do we worship the moon? No!
Do we worship the sun? No!
Do we worship the night? No!
Do we worship the earth? No!
Do we worship anything other than GOD Almighty? No!
Do we only worship GOD Almighty and nothing but GOD Almighty and associate no partners with Him such as idols and men? Absolutely Yes!

I'm going to give you 2 answers, one in case you're actually asking a genuine question and the other in case you aren't.
Answer 1:
Allah is God; the same almighty Deity Christians and Jews worship, not a moon god or any such thing. El Kaaba is the place Muslims visit to feel closer to Him due to its holy history. The prophet Abraham built it with his his son Ismail and ever since then it has been revered. In Islam, God asks those who can to visit this holy place.
Answer 2:
If this is your idea of a provocative comment to Muslims here, then I advise you to stop for a moment and ask yourself this : Why does it make me feel happy to insult other people's religion? How would I feel if someone did the same to me and insulted my beliefs/family/race/nationality?

The Muslims think the (Kaaba) at Mecca is a piece of the Moon that fell to the Earth. You are right the Allah of Islam is the same pagan Moon God,even the Quran proves this.The Black Stone the (Kaaba) at Mecca Saudi Arabia is supposed to be Manat the Goddess (daughter of Allah the Moon God):
((The sanctuary known as the Ka’bah (at Mecca of Islam) was filled with three hundred sixty Pagan idols at the time Muhammad lived))

Actually Allah isn't the moon God, Dipstick..., Allah is the Arabic word for God...The moon is one of the many signs of God...one of His creations that shows the extent of His creativity and beauty...and we DONT worship the Kabah.....We worship the entity that is responsible for the creation of this Universe...The Kabah is kept as a common direction towards which people can look to while praying in unity....Rather than everybody looking in their own directions and praying...First get your basic facts right by asking someone who KNOWS this stuff rather than pretending your better off with what you know...Dipstick

I thought christianity was the religion that has celebrations based on the moon. The date of easter is based on a particular phase of the moon. I find this odd because christians claim to have a great deal of knowledge about christ but the date of his death varies with the moon.

I haven't heard it put that way before, but I do notice that the moon is on one or two of the flags of Muslim Countries.

How ignorant one man can be.
Allah is not a moon god. You need some help learning, or even more, you need some help learning not to bash anyone.
Good luck.

If God were the moon God then we would do it, but you have no capability to get it so you are talking nonsense.
