Good hypothesis.
As modern man came from Ethiopia, and Sumeria linked Ethiopia to the middle east, it would not be suprising if Biblical religion borrowed from Sumerian doctrine when the first migrations were made, or travellers later returned.
Note that Anu was believed to have created the stars as soldiers to destroy the wicked (source wikipedia) - and in the Koran "Allah made the stars as missiles to throw at devils." 67:5. (source Koran)

It could also mean that God is real, and has been attempting to reveal himself to every culture since the beginning of time. And so, of course, they taught the same things about him. They had a real God on which to base it.
Kind of like if you had a dozen different people all look at an elephant. Odds are they would all make some kind of a mention of the nose of the creature. It would not be "plagiarism" but a recording of what they all saw.

Every religion ever known except the very first one (which no on is totally sure which on it is) is guilty of plagiarism.

No, but God was trying to get those people to follow Him through revelution.
