Confessors of “God” Are Confounded By “gods”

To the casual observer the above may sound bit like the Rumsfeldian gobble de guk: “because we know, there are known knowns, there are things we know that we don’t know……”
It is only on close examination that one notices the lowercase “g” for god and the uppercase “G” for God for the difference to be noticeable.
Over the ages Reformers and Divine Messenger have tried to explain this difference. Some people in their time understood the difference. The human weakness of ‘some are more equal than others’ prevailed.
The Arabs were able to distinguish between a very special entity Allah, the central and pivotal Authority compared to run-of-the-mill Ilaha, the demigods of which we are told there were hundreds prior to and during the Messenger Muhammad’s time.
Today Muslims wish to monopolies this Allah, in the process of dethroning Him from His Universal throne the Kursi, of Quran 2-255!
The Quran very specifically stresses the importance of maintaining this uniqueness of Central Authority and advises mankind to rejects any association with lesser gods and warns of the consequences if not heeded 2-165.
This message that was once again propagated as it had been by other Messengers before Muhammad 2-4 and now codified in the Book 5-51 and 10-37.
