Talk:Hubal

"Islam has some influences of the believe in Hubal. So islam has a lunar calender (the islamic year has 12 months of 28 days) and also in the symbol of islam."

This sentence makes no grammatical sense. Are you trying to say:

"The belief in Hubal had some influence on Islam. For example, Islam uses a lunar calender of 12 months of 28 days, rather than a solar calendar. Moreover, the crescent moon is part of the symbol of Islam."

For the record, the Jewish calendar is also lunar, as are many, many others. Researcher 17:48, 28 December 2007 (EST)


[edit] Edit

I have removed: Some people believes that 'Islam has some influences of the believe in Hubal. So islam has a lunar calender (the islamic year has 12 months of 28 days) and also in the symbol of islam'. Quite what this means, no-one knows. (as if in Mohammeds time the people didn't know that a (sun) year is 365 days in stead of 12 lunar months). Could we agree what it means before putting it back?--Bobbing up 04:18, 29 December 2007 (EST)

Actually, do we need this at all? the only point to it is the (alleged) sharing of its calendar and symbol with Islam... so just a sentence in the Islam article? Totnesmartin (talk) 22:09, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

I second Totnesmartin's motion to add this to the Islam article. The Goonie 1 What's this button do? Uh oh.... 23:01, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
Three is consensus, yes? Deleted. Researcher (talk) 07:37, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
