In these times Bedouin Arabs worshipped a series of Gods, one of them being Allah-Talaa the supreme Moon god; whom had three daughter goddesses: Allat, Manat, and Uzza. When Mohammad had little success he adopted the Moon god (Allah) along with other Gods to persuade the Pagan Arabs to join Islam. Slowly, he worked toward his monotheist religion with Allah being the only God. He ordered the idols be destroyed and he kept the names of the other Gods and Goddesses by passing them off as the alternate 99 names of Allah. But can it be denied that these goddesses were once worshipped by Muslims including Muhammad? The Quran says to worship these Gods in Sura 53:19-20. [Have ye seen Lat and 'Uzza, And another, the third (goddess), Manat?]. Sura 37:125 says the Sun Allah (Baal) is the best of creaters instead?
Some muslims say that Muhammad was tricked by satan to include these extra Gods into the Quran but doesnt that contradict the fundatmental belief in Islam that the Quran is perfect?

I have no idea if what you are saying has validity . But I can tell you that the Bedouins have kept their religion until fairly modern times. Maybe in the last hundred years or so they have given up all remnants of the old religion. They are so afraid of being called idol worshipers that they melt down their jewelry instead of passing it down to their daughters. this is a recent phenomenon. It has become almost impossible to find ancient Bedouin jewelry where it used to be plentiful

Allah is the Arabic word for God. It has nothing to do with the moon at all. Islam is monotheistic. Christianity adopted many pagan customs and holidays that they still celebrate today, though.

First if you ask why islam is monothietic and there is only one God to rule. you'll get the it if you answer, why there is only one president or primeminister to a country. why there is one principal to a school. why cant there be two presidents and two principals at the same time.
What you wrote above is not what i believe in or think to be true.

anyone who knows about Islam, without TRYING to distort it or has Biases, knows that Islam is the submission to the One and only God. Please don't continue to ask questions you know the answer to and please STOP LYING.
Anyone who wants to learn about Islam should read the whole Quran from beginning to end and then decide for yourself, but to read things out of context does a disservice to everone except the person who wants to distort information.
