"The "moon god" origin of "Allah" is well-documented"

Yes, Allah was one of 360 gods worshiped at the time....Moh. picked allah; yet he could have picked one of the other doods!

It is not! If you read about Mohammed you will learn that the reason he was dismayed about life was because he hated the idea that people were disorganized and worshipped idols. His attempts to introduce people to Allah (arabic word for God) were not immediate. Others convinced him that he could spread the word and help raise people up from dispair and poverty. His primary message was one which called for people to help the poor and defenseless among them. He did not call for Jihad! He tried to spread the word of God to give hope to a people who he say as disorganized and hopeless. Abu Bakr, his successor, was the person who called for Jihad and tried to take advantage of the faith in Islam to gain control of other lands.
