>>19558070Remember that chant? The Meccans interpreted this as Muhammad's endorsement of pagan practices and returned to worshiping the three sisters. This error is known as the Satanic Verses. Of course, Muhammad recanted and corrected himself as soon as he realized this by saying that in fact Iblis (Satan), not the Angel Gabriel, whispered this in his ear. But the incident caused considerable embarrassment and was eventually expunged from all official Islamic narratives. Thus, while ʾEl became Yahweh Elohim in Judaism and Allah in Islam. ʿAmm/Attar, the original Arabic Moon/Venus god, became the Crescent Moon, the symbol of Islam. The curious thing is that Jewish Kabbalists associate the angel Gabriel, who supposedly revealed Islam to Muhammad, with the Sephirah of Yesod (Moon), that to its upper right is Netzach, the Sephirah of Venus. Yesod is associated with the male sexual organ of Adam Kadmon and Islam is obsessed with sex, its paradise being an eternal orgy with 72 virgins. Pure coincidence.
