Pagan aspects of Islam: 1. Kaaba: A purely polytheistic building, like others in Arabia, adopted from the Pagan Arabs into Islam. 2. Sacrifice: Islam directly adopted the animal sacrifice as it was performed by thr pre-Islamic Arab polytheists. It is entirely detached from the Abrahamic sense of sacrifice and atonement. 3. Circumambulation: Pagans used to chant and circle the Kaaba. Muslims do it today. 4. The Black Stone: The Black Stone was one of many fetish objects in pre-Islamic Arabia. Muslims kept it and kiss it. 5. Sacred Months: Muslims directly adopted the Polytheistic sacred months that have no connection to Abrahamic faith. 6. White dress and shaving: During the pilgrimage, practices of the Pagans are directly adopted without explanation. 7. Safa and Marwa: Two hills in Mecca that were Pagan and are acknowledged as such by early Muslims were adopted by the Quran. 8. Mythical Arab Tribes (Ad, Thamud): The Quran adopts narratives of mythical or unrelated Arab tribes as if they were part of Abrahamic tradition and creates a prophet names Salih that has no relation to the Bible. 9. Jinns: The Quran creates a whole narrative of fire beings that live in the desert who are apparently living among us and who are almost as important as humans in Allah's creation. There is no mention of this in the Bible. It is Polytheistic Arab mythology. 10. Cosmology: The Quran and Muhammad directly adopted 7th-century Arab and Pagan Cosmology which can be lengthily explained as I did in a video titled: "The Flat Earth in the Quran."
