Raymond,
Well, here is some more evidence of what I was saying about Mohammed and Al-Lat, Al-Uzza and Manat, the sun goddesses;

Looks like I was wrong about the satanic verses and prophets being mentioned in the Hadith. It seems it is in the Qu'ran itself. Sorry, but I am human and do make mistakes. Thank God I have God's assured forgiveness!
"We sent not ever any Messenger or Prophet before thee, but that Satan
cast into his fancy, when he was fancying: but God annuls what Satan casts, then God confirms his signs."
Looking forward to your response....
God Bless,
Steve
PS- I still will post the additional evidence I come up with! And a little more family history of Mohammad and the moon godesses:
The Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics says this:
The origin of this (Allah) goes back to PRE-Muslim times. Allah is NOT a common name meaning "God" (or a "god"), and the Muslim must use another word or form if he wishes to indicate any other than his own peculiar deity.
Allah was a pre-existing god. He was well known to Muhammad's Quraysh tribe. Scholars quickly point out that Allah was one of the names used for the MOON god who was married to the sun goddess. Together they produced three goddesses who were called "the daughters of Allah. Their names were Al-Lat, Al-Uzza and Manat. These were considered high gods--at the top of the plethora of Arabian deities. Muhammad's father's literal Arabic name was Abd-Allah. His uncle's name was Obied-Allah. His family was devoted to the moon god for at least two generations before Muhammad. The Arabian pagans prayed towards Mecca because that is where their idols/gods were sitting. Since Allah was one of the idols in the Kabah it only made sense to turn toward their god and pray. Praying toward Mecca continues to this day.
