According to ancient Arabian religion (pre-Islam), Allah is the moon god of the Kaba. It was pure idolatry and Allah really was a rock.

And what? You are going to have to be a little more clear on that.
Ok! How about the New Sanhedrin? Why are they pushing for it, in your opinion?
If you are muslim, you are not worshiping the One True God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel. Followers of islam worship the the moon... which of course is not a god at all.
I'm not sorry if that offends you.
In fact, Google tells me there are 2,810,000 sits referencing "mecca".
He was referring to Mecca, where, as I understand it, the Muslims think the Big Kahoona Mohamma-Momma caused a moon rock to crash into the earth. Thus, their pilgrimages to worship at the feet of their idol.
What he meant was: The only thing in that "holy" mosque in Mecca is a rock. They are sticking their butts in the air in submission to a friggin' rock.
You said it so much better than I.... ;-)

NO I don't HAVE to be, but I will. Mecca is rumored to be a very large Lunar Meteorite. Got it? Good.
I've always thought that as corrupt and evil as the guy was he must certainly have kept the best part for his own real estate interests and stuck the temple (and it's contributors) with a secondary site.
When the Romans burned and tore down the entirity of Jerusalem we lost a lot of records that could have told us precisely where the Temple should go.
So, other than the New Sanhedran folks probably being heretics, what else did you wish to know.
Today when you visit Temple Mount and go in the mosque there's an stone there that was supposed to have been under the original altar. It has what seems to be a horses' hoof print in it ~ which is a piece of identity reflected in the Moslem tradition that Mohammad mounted up to Heaven at that point on his horse. I've always wondered if there's any sort of Biblical information that describes that stone as well as the hoofprint. Just haven't found it, but until the stone can be explained, I'm going to be very open to the arguments of those who claim "this ain't it".
There is, in fact, in the middle of the Kaaba, an altar made up of fossilized wood. There's a moderate sized meteorite on top. It's not all that big.
I am unaware anyone has made a claim that this meteorite is from the Moon.
Sometimes people mistake the tent and it's curtains that sits atop the altar for the real thing, but that's just a protective covering.
As people pass the rock, set in silver I believe, they kiss it.
;-)
Speaking of rocks... there is a rather large one, currently occupied, where the third temple needs to go.
(Temple thread, after all...)
BTW, when you go to church, what do you face?
You were aware, of course, that in the Syrian and Chaldean Christian churches "Allah" is God's name ~
He is refering to the meteorite which is kept in the Kabba in Mecca, and calls it that because he subscribes to the theory that much of the Koranic presentation of God (= al illah, elided to Allah) is derived from the cult of an Arabian pagan moon god, who at least in one version of Arabian paganism seems to have been the chief of their pantheon, and title "al illah" = 'the god'.
No "mecca" listed here!
The front.
*sigh*
You're going to say that the cross is an idol, right?
Correct.
The First and Second Temples were on the Temple Mount.
So, too, shall be the Third.
