Ancient Semitic religion spans the polytheistic religions of the Semitic speaking peoples of the Ancient Near East and Northeast Africa. Its origins are intertwined with Mesopotamian mythology. As Semitic itself is a rough, categorical term, the definitive bounds of the term "Ancient Semitic religion" are likewise only approximate. These traditions, and their pantheons, fall into regional categories: Canaanite religions of the Levant, Assyro-Babylonian religion strongly influenced by Sumerian tradition, and Pre-Islamic Arabian polytheism. A topic of particular interest is the possible transition of Semitic polytheism into our contemporary understanding of Abrahamic monotheism by way of the god El, a word for "god" in Hebrew and cognate to Islam's Allah.

From Google News Search: "Ancient Semitic religion" Are you sure That the Quran was given all at once by a prophet? No 2 (NY Times, March 2, 2002)? Q. a) Christoph Luxenberg, a scholar of ancient Semitic languages in Germany, argues that the Koran has been misread and mistranslated for centuries. His work, based on the earliest copies of the Koran, maintains that parts of Islam's holy book are derived from pre-existing Christian Aramaic texts that were misinterpreted by later Islamic scholars who prepared the editions of the Koran commonly read today. b) Salman Rushdie's "Satanic Verses" received a fatwa because it appeared to mock Muhammad.

Answered by fr_chuck - Sun May 14 18:38:40 2006 Have you noticed that the world's major religions have a common origin? Q. Though Judaism , Islam and Christianity are known as the Semitic, Abrahamic faiths ,they owe far more to the religions of ancient Persia (Iran) such as Zoroastrianism, Manichaeism and Mithraism. They also owe much to the Greek and Roman religions. Greek, Roman and Persian cultures in turn can be traced back to the prehistoric Indo-European society of the Russian steppes, as can Hinduism and Buddhism (indirectly). The Indo-Europeans are without doubt the most successful race in the history of the world in terms of the spread of their language and culture. So, it beggars belief that the religion that spurred them onto world domination should be reviled by the Atheists and others, don't you think?

Q. In the Book of Genesis 4:2-16, the story of Cain and Abel is a timeless tale of sibling rivalries between close kindred nations. Although Cain and Abel are de facto siblings it's an irrefutable fact that one race is superior to the other. Consequently, the history of civilization has been a history of struggles between close kindred, which is to decide the fate of nations. Hence, the question of the Birthright or "Who shall inherit the earth?" is the ultimate theme behind the history of conflict, struggles, and war between close kindred.
