Really? I thought that was how the polytheistic/fetish cult of Mecca, centered around the black rock of Qaaba, got started.
Islam I had thought was a syncretistic cult combining Arabic mythology, handy elements of the aforementioned cult for cheap legitmacy, and a heaping dose of Nestorian Christianity and Judaism, all combined with desert fervor. Or am I wrong here?
