Lie: Muslims worship the moon

Refuting the accusations that Muslims worship a Moon god, due to the fact that Muslims follow a Lunar calendar and the crescent moon symbol (and star) commonly associated with Islam.
However does the fact that non-muslims use a Gregorian calendar (Solar Calender) prove the fact that they worship the Sun?

The word Allah is used by Arab Christians when they refer to (God), it is not a word for a different god or an idol.
As for the Crescent moon this was introduced during the time of the Ottomans as stated by a non-muslim scholar William Ridgeway, who said the following:

"when we come to examine the history of the crescent as a badge of Muhammadanism, we are confronted by the fact that it was not employed by the Arabs or any of the first peoples who embraced the faith of the prophet. he truth is that the crescent was not identified with Islam until after the appearance of the Osmanli Turks, whilst on the other hand there is the clearest evidence that in the time of the Crusades, and long before, the crescent and star were a regular badge of Byzantium and the Byzantine Emperors, some of whom placed it on their coins."

Another Scholar Franz Babinger states:

"It seems possible, though not certain, that after the conquest Mehmed took over the crescent and star as an emblem of sovereignty from the Byzantines. The half-moon alone on a blood red flag, allegedly conferred on the Janissaries by Emir Orhan, was much older, as is demonstrated by numerous references to it dating from before 1453. But since these flags lack the star, which along with the half-moon is to be found on Sassanid and Byzantine municipal coins, it may be regarded as an innovation of Mehmed. It seems certain that in the interior of Asia tribes of Turkish nomads had been using the half-moon alone as an emblem for some time past, but it is equally certain that crescent and star together are attested only for a much later period. There is good reason to believe that old Turkish and Byzantine traditions were combined in the emblem of Ottoman and, much later, present-day Republican Turkish sovereignty"

John Denham Parsons states:

"it was as the symbol of this Zoroastrian dynasty and of the fair land of Iran, that the Moslems adopted it as their own."

"The earliest church in the Morea to include a saint holding a shield marked by the crescent and star may be St. John Chrysostom, which has been dated on the basis of style to ca. 1300"
-Angeliki E. Laiou, Roy P. Mottahedeh, The Crusades From the Perspective of Byzantium and the Muslim World, Dumbarton Oaks, 2001, p278

@SunniShiaUnity This is the Fitna, a time will come when the holder of this religion feels as if he is holding a flaming coal. This is the time. We are being fought so much when all the religions are worshiping mice, elephants, weird looking idols with weird names, false Jesus looking Idols, monkey's and the only religion that does not have an Idol to it and only a holy place built 1000 of years ago is being fought so much it makes you sit and wonder- Why the F are they so scared of us?

In Africa if the Christians wouldn't convert over to islam or submit they were smited at the neck, the women were raped, breast cut off, this would all take place in front of their family's, if this is not evil I don't know what is. Religion has killed more people in the world then any wars. I wouldn't feel so good at this point in time if I was muslim. Yeshua (Christ) warned of false prophets to come. Do not doubt read. I have read the Bible, Qu'ran, Torah. nobody is 2nd class to anyone

Hello arab person. Thanks for this ideo, because many of my countrymen are ignorant fools that follow blindly anything that FOX news tells them. I hear so many still say Islam isnt even a religion, but a cult, and thats a lie. So many lies.

[SunniShiaUnity]

LOL, I kind of knew that from that start, but I thought I would give him a chance to explain himself.

However you're right, his true colours came out. If he has a wife (which I doubt) then I feel very bad for her, and if he has children (which I also doubt) I also would feel very bad for them.

Anyone who has to live with him basically!

And his "arguments" like you said are the typical crap you find on hate sites, where people care less about the truth and more about causing fitnah (controversy)

[SunniShiaUnity]

Salam, bro, I reported him also.

I will leave them for now, so that the Moderators can see them.

And bro you don't have to apologise at all! I can clearly see that the way this person is acting that he has mental problems.

I know many Iranian people, and they are not like this person.

There are always people like this out there, no matter what country they are from. And they seem to have a problem with everyone, even their own people.

[SunniShiaUnity]

And you are a racist, saying greasy Paki, and Greasy Arab Taliban.

You should learn that race doesn't matter and that you need to get out a bit more, and stop being a twat all your life.

Like I said, if you call me a Paki, I take that as a compliment. And this is coming from an Arab. They are my Muslim brothers and sisters. Its called Islamic unity, something you will never experience because you are a small minded racist, living inside a box.

And Ali (ra) never had a moon idol, you dumbass.

[SunniShiaUnity]

I think you have just exposed yourself completely with all of these filthy, disgusting, vulgar, vile, bitter, childish, moronic, comments that you have made.

I will waste no more time with you. I tried to be reasonable but you are obviously a very low person who I wouldn't even call a human being.

I can't imagine you being a husband, or a father, or doing anything productive with your life.

So be a loser for the rest of your life and carry on thinking this way.

Have a nice life.

[SunniShiaUnity]

Show me where Umar (ra) said "I love you moon idol". Bring your damn proof! And don't run away from the topic by changing the subject. If you can't bring the proof for what you claim Umar said, then you just proved yourself out to be a damn liar and there is no point for you to waste anymore of my time.

Ok so you're a bitter Iranian who wants to go back to zorastrianism or whatever. That's fine by me, but don't lie about my religion and claim you studied it for 30 years.

[SunniShiaUnity]

LOL I know for sure that you're a racist. No I am not a Pakistani but I am flattered that you think I am.

You can say moon idol until you go blue but it doesn't make it true! Crescent moon was introduced by the ottomans, not Arabs! So do you worship the Sun because you use a Solar calendar?

And you misread what I quoted you MORON! Read it again!

"They do blaspheme who say: 'Allah is Christ the son of Mary'. But Christ said "Oh Children of Israel! Worship Allah my Lord and your Lord" 5:72

[SunniShiaUnity]

Strange you say this kind of crap, the Kabba has been renovated several times and at no time did they find this mysterious moon idol you're talking about

The Arabs believed in one GOD, "Allah" which is the Arab word for God in English. However they claimed he had daughters, and that the other idols in the Kabba are intermediaries that could bring them closer to God. That was their religion before Islam.

Muhammad (SAW) destroyed every single idol, and told them to worship God ALONE!
