Raymond,
Here is a non-anti Islamic website with the information about Mohammad incorporating the sun goddesses into his teaching, and then of course recanting it:
wsu.edu:8001/~dee/ISLAM/MUHAM.HTM
An excerpt, just in case the thread is not working:
Although he was supported by his clan and although his message was fundamentally opposed to the attitude and practices of the wealthy clans, Muhammad seems to have tried to make some peace with these clans in the first decade. It was this attempt to make peace that the incident of the Satanic verses took place. Seeking some accomodation, Muhammad seems to have sought to reconcile his new religion with the traditional religion of Mecca by incorporating other gods—the three gods of Meccan relgion: al-Lat, al-Uzza, and Manat. It would later be revealed to Muhammad that these Quranic verses had been sent to him by Satan and were thus deceptions. When Muhammad recanted these verses as Satanic, the wealthiest clans turned against him bitterly and would attempt no more reconciliation.
So are they lying too, Washington State University? I have confirmed it now in 4 places with more information confirming it on the way!
God Bless, Steve
PS- Is this verse starting to make more sense to you now?....
"Never did We send a Messenger or a Prophet before you, but; when he did recite the revelation or narrated or spoke, Shaitân (Satan) threw (some falsehood) in it. But Allâh abolishes that which Shaitân (Satan) throws in. Then Allâh establishes His Revelations. And Allâh is All-Knower, All-Wise:"
