Why Did Arabs Dump Their Ancient Culture And Embrace Islam? by panafrican(m): 3:56am On Apr 25, 2020
Hard to believe people just threw away all their cultural heritage, everything their ancestors put together over thousands of years, and embraced one religion.


Religion in pre-Islamic Arabia

Religion in pre-Islamic Arabia included indigenous animistic-polytheistic beliefs, as well as Christianity, Judaism, Mandaeism, and Iranian religions of Zoroastrianism, Mithraism, and Manichaeism. Arabian polytheism, the dominant form of religion in pre-Islamic Arabia, was based on veneration of deities and spirits.

Worship was directed to various gods and goddesses, including Hubal and the goddesses al-Lāt, al-‘Uzzā, and Manāt, at local shrines and temples such as the Kaaba in Mecca.

Deities were venerated and invoked through a variety of rituals, including pilgrimages and divination, as well as ritual sacrifice. Different theories have been proposed regarding the role of Allah in Meccan religion.
Many of the physical descriptions of the pre-Islamic gods are traced to idols, especially near the Kaaba, which is said to have contained up to 360 of them.

Other religions were represented to varying, lesser degrees. The influence of the adjacent Roman, Aksumite, and Sasanian Empires resulted in Christian communities in the northwest, northeast, and south of Arabia. Christianity made a lesser impact, but secured some conversions, in the remainder of the peninsula. With the exception of Nestorianism in the northeast and the Persian Gulf, the dominant form of Christianity was Miaphysitism.

The peninsula had been a destination for Jewish migration since Roman times, which had resulted in a diaspora community supplemented by local converts. Additionally, the influence of the Sasanian Empire resulted in Iranian religions being present in the peninsula. Zoroastrianism existed in the east and south, while there is evidence of Manichaeism or possibly Mazdakism being practiced in Mecca.

Ladies and Gentlemen. Very bad and unimaginable things happened back then, things that if u were told to imagine, na F9 u go get.

Historically the Kaaba of modern day Islam was actually a shrine of the moon god Hubal and 360 lesser gods.Muhammed hijacked and fraudulently made this Kaaba a corner piece of Islamic religion.

Access to the idol was controlled by the Quraysh tribe. The god's devotees fought against followers of the Islamic prophet Muhammad during the Battle of Badr in 624 AD. After Muhammad entered Mecca in 630, he removed the statue of Hubal from the Kaaba along with the idols of all the other pagan gods.

It is part of the sad reality of the Christian and Muslim Faith's that they don't actually want coexistence with any other religion, they both seek to be the one and only true religion. They preach tolerance with their mouths but in their hearts and action they yearn for world domination.

Check it out, when the Romans conquered Israel did they force anybody to give up their culture or religion? Same with when Alexander conquered Persia, was anybody forced to destroy their culture? Even when the more bloody Mongols conquered they did not destroy cultures or force people to assimilate.

Luckily, we live in a time were enlightenment has provided us with the tools and opportunities to resist such cultural and religious assimilation.

I am not ready for endless riddles. Check my post history I have no time for frivolity and long winding arguments. I have told you the Kaaba represented the moon god Hubal and 360 other lesser gods in the pre Islamic era.
The Shrine of Hubal was consulted by throwing arrows towards the Kaaba which was carried into islam by throwing stones at the satan.
I believe I have given an answer. If you are not satisfied I suggest you read up about Muhammed,Kaaba Hubal and Allah.

My question was about how christianity was formed (it's background in that sense), not necessarily about how it was spread by Rome or Europe.
Re: Why Did Arabs Dump Their Ancient Culture And Embrace Islam? by Nobody: 11:40am On Apr 25, 2020
They were at loggerheads due to the strive for power in the region before the Western world took over power from them!

Egypt.
Assyria (South Iran)
Babylon (Iraq)
Persia (North Iran alliance with orientals)

Were the first four world powers before the Westerners took over power from them.

Greece
Rome
England
America

So after discovering that Roman empire lasted longer than any other, they formed alliance to regain world power by using the charm of religion. Their agreement is that the Romans were able to sustain power for so long due to the influence of the Catholic Church, so they had a treaty to work together as a team and Islam will be their charm to gain more supporters.

The Westerners are smarter than them so they quickly introduced freedom of expression, speech and worship, this makes it hard for the Arabs to accomplish their mission, because majority of them know for sure that the true God claims to be the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Israel)

God never had anything to do with Arabians, that's why the Arabs will kill any of their own people who left Islam for another religion most especially Christianity, because they feel such a person as an enemy or sabotage!

Thanks! smiley

It's just a theory, the manufacturer said he will come and destroy all those sabotaging his effort in making things work well for the human race.

He said we are not do the extermination work for him {Matthew 7:1} so anyone taking up weapons to fight for God will be guilty of blood! Matthew 26:52
