Is Allah another name for Baal? Do Muslims know they are worshipping Baal?

I got this information from a source I was referred to. I can't vouch for it. But it seems to clear some things up:

THE BATTLE BETWEEN ISRAEL AND ISLAM IS BETWEEN THE G-D OF ISRAEL & BAAL

According to the Encyclopedia of Religion, (Ibid., p. 48): "Allah is a pre-Islamic name, which corresponds to the Babylonian Bel." In the Tanach, the Hebrew Bible, this same pagan god is referred to as Baal! Thus the ancient battle lines between the G-d of Israel and Baal or Baalpeor have not changed, just as king Solomon used to say:

"That which has been is what will be, That which is done is what will be done, and THERE IS NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN. Is there anything of which it may be said, 'See, this is new!' It has already been in ancient times before us." (Ecclesiastes 1: 9-10).

ELIJAH VERSUS THE PROPHETS OF BAAL

Without a doubt the most dramatic contest between the G-d of Israel and Baal was when Elijah challenged the prophets of Baal to produce fire from heaven to burn the sacrifice dedicated to their god. Despite the concerted efforts of some four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal interceding with their god for no less than nine solid hours, Baal proved to be an impotent god who was not able to respond to the prayers of his followers. When it was Elijah's turn to beseech his G-d, the fire fell from heaven after a mere 30 seconds of prayer by the great prophet, and thus the G-d of Israel vindicated His prophet in the sight of the nation. Elijah then commanded for the prophets of Baal to be seized and he had them all executed without exception. Islam is certain to meet with a similar fate in the not to distant future, and when this occurs all the sons of Ishmael, who are kept in the prison house of Islam will finally be set free. Islam?s current doctrine demands the execution of any Muslim who dare leave Islam for another religion. Without question the world will be a better place when this evil pagan death cult of Islam is vanquished and destroyed.

Most of ancient Israel's enemies were Baal worshippers. So, what's new? Just as Solomon has already so eloquently stated:- "There is nothing new under the sun!" It should not come as any surprise therefore that the old battle lines between the one and only true G-d, the G-d of Israel and the false god Baal, the god of rebellion and witchcraft, still continue to be drawn to this day. Allah, the god of Islam, is the modern day manifestation of that same Baal, and he has infested his Muslim followers with the spirit of Jihad. It is this evil Jihad spirit which calls for holy war. This wicked spirit will not find rest until it has snuffed out the life of every Jew!

The greatest book of Muslim Tradition, "The Hadith" speaks more eloquently about the utter hatred of Islam for the Jews than any other book I know, apart perhaps from the Koran itself. The Hadith states:-

"The one sent by Allah has already said the great hour will not come until the Muslims make war upon the Jews and kill so many of them that when a Jew would hide behind a tree or rock these objects will speak and say: 'O MUSLIM, SERVANT OF GOD, THERE IS A JEW BEHIND ME. COME AND KILL HIM!'"

Another Source says:

Adherents to Islam (Muslims) worship Allah. Allah is not simply another name for God. In his book Islam Unveiled (The Scholars Press, Shermans Dale, PA,1991), Dr. Robert A. Morey addresses the origin and meaning of the term Allah.

Hastings’ Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics states, “Allah” is a proper name, applicable only to their (i.e. Arab) peculiar God.

According to the Encyclopedia of Religion, “Allah” is a pre-Islamic name…corresponding to the Babylonian Bel.

According to Middle East scholar E. M. Wherry, Allah-worship, as well as Baal-worship, were both astral religions and they involved worship of the sun, the moon and the stars.

Morey himself says, …the moon god was called by various names, one of which was Allah… The name Allah was used as the personal name of the moon god…

The symbol of the worship of the moon god in Arabian culture and elsewhere throughout the Middle East was the crescent moon. Archeologists have dug up numerous statues and hieroglyphic inscriptions in which a crescent moon was seated on top of the head of the deity to symbolize the worship of the moon god.

Morey also points out that Ubu’l-Kassim (Muhammad) was born in to the Quraysh tribe which was devoted to Allah, the moon god.
