Allah as Moon-god

The notion of "Allah as Moon-God" had existed within certain currents of Evangelicalism in the United States since the 1990s. The idea derives from The moon-god Allah in the archeology of the Middle East (1994) by Robert Morey. The argument is that "Allah" was the name of a Moon god in pre-Islamic Arabic mythology, the implication being that "Allah" as the term for God in Islam implies that "Muslims are worshipping a false god". Islamic commentators have refuted the idea as "insulting".
