Since the god of the Jews, described in their scriptures, is pretty much the same as any other gods of the Near and Middle East, requiring and enjoying appeasements in the form of burnt offerings and flattering prayer, why would the Arabs, presumably a more intelligent race than the Jews (according to the silly actions attributed to them in the scriptures), believe that such a typical god, aside from lacking in physical representation such as a statue, is in fact the creator of the universe? Would the true creator of something as complex as the universe be so crude and crass as to be appeased by the smell of burnt animals?
Now, I can see why someone in BC times might be inclined to believe in such a god, since they were common in those days and nobody knew any better. The same can be said of early AD times, like Muhammad's day, but why do modern Arabs actually still believe such a crude god is actually the creator of the universe or worthy of adoration? Is it simply for the sake of tradition? Their ancestors accepted it in 700 AD so why change now? Or is it because nobody is inventing any new gods to choose from, ones with advanced consciousness rather than simple "burn the bull, get a plentiful harvest" type gods? I mean, c'mon. The god of the Jews? Really? That's the best the Arabs can do for the creator of the universe? Wow!. Are the Arabs really as simple minded as the Jews? Where is their self respect? Bowing down to the god of the Jews five times a day? For what possible reason? That god didn't even do the Jews any good, letting them be led into captivity by Babylon, who apparently had a more powerful god. Then they only got freed from Babylon by the Persians, who apparently had a more powerful god than the Babylonians. Yahweh/Allah wasn't even near the top of the list, in regard to god power. The Arabs would do better to worship Marduk or Ahura Mazda, if history is any indication. Instead, on the word of a single man, Muhammad, they are STILL worshiping the puny god of the Jews. The very god who let Israel get destroyed by pretty much anybody who came along. Are the Arabs insane or something, or just suckers for punishment.
Iraq is Babylon and Iran is Persia. Why are they not worshiping Marduk or Ahura Mazda so that they can get competent help battling Israel? Allah hasn't helped them yet in that department, so why believe he suddenly will at some future time. They are wasting their prayers on Allah of the Jews. You can't conquer a nation by worshiping their god. You can only conquer a nation by worshiping a more powerful god than theirs. Don't bother saying that the god of the Jews is the only real god. Why should anyone believe that? Because some guy told you that? People lie, you know. One god? What a ridiculous notion. Each nation needs their own god or else how could one ever triumph over another? The single god would protect them all equally. Since Allah/Yahweh has shown himself to be completely useless in aiding the Arabs against the Tyranny of Israel, why keep throwing good prayers after bad? They are wasting their effort on the thankless god of the Jews. Maybe Hubal could help them, Maybe Marduk or another Babylonian god, but certainly not the god of the Jews. Why don't the Arabs simply stop bickering amongst themselves over how best to worship the god of Israel and revive Babylon. Once Babylon is reformed and their god makes them strong THEN maybe they'll have a chance against Israel. This worshiping the god of Israel thing just ain't working, let's face it. If the tree doesn't bear fruit, cut it down and grow a new one. You followed Muhammad's words. It got you some booty but that was short lived. That was just because you had sheer numbers in those days. What has following Muhammad's instructions to bow down to the god of Israel done for you LATELY? Marduk/Bel just can't be any worse, can he? A friggin' rock couldn't be any worse.
