To say the heritage of Allah goes back to Il and Ilah, and thence to the moon deity is a total falsehood, but it sure helps in the development of the argument in Islamic Invasion. The heritage of Allah goes straight back to Enlil, the solar deity right after the Tower of Babel. Enlil was solar, and his consort, Ninlil, was the moon deity. Thereafter, many permutations of the things evolved, but the "lil" in Enlil is the virtual origin of the Ilah in Al-Ilah, which is contracted to Al'lah.
Is the notion of Allah being a Moon God a diversion from making any association with sun worship or any solar or phallic deity?

In the linage of IL, alias, Enlil, ILAH, Be`IL, Bel, Ba`al, and so on, the god always has a goddess consort, who is usually a grammatical gender alternative. Such is the case with Allat, the goddess of Arabia. She was the consort of Allah, so the ancient rule of deities follows very well. Allah was the solar deity, and Allat was the moon goddess. To confound this pattern in Mecca is to miss the point. Morey has let Allah off the hook by making him a local Arab invention. In fact, Morey has furnished a case for letting Allah be Muhammed's God of the Bible since, by his scenario, Allah could be alleged to have evolved locally from Jerusalem, and Cabalists (as per Neilson), rather than directly from pagan Babylon, along with his wife, Allat.
