Re: Is Allah God?....Dragons?

Allah is a very general term used for an ancient moon god in Arab paganism. Apparently, according to Muslims, Allah revealed to Muhammed (PBUH) that he alone is the only true God who revealed himself to Abraham and through Moses, the prophets, and Jesus. Interestingly enough Yeweh of the OT is indeed a lunar deity, this is why the Jewish calendar is on a lunar cycle.

I've heard different theories on "dragons" ranging from them being "spirits", dinosaurs, alligators, or actual mystical creatures.

When I asked Muslims in Afghanistan about this, I could not get a straight answer, although, I think there were communication issues involved and not deception.
