The Horned God?

Here is a section dedicated to the ancient pagan form of Allah (Arabic for the God) as a Horned Hunter God, as some people have been interested in this concept. Remember that this is the ancient pagan form of Allah not the Muslim form!

So is there any valid proof that Allah was seen as a Horned Hunter God, or is this just a perspective that someone may take...
A Horned stele that was dedicated to 'Qos-Allah' was found. A stele being an upright slab of stone inscribed and sculpted, in this case sculpted with horns, to show the Horned God concept...'Qos-Allah' basically means 'Qos is Allah', 'Qos the God'. So what does Qos mean? Qos (qaus) means bow. This bow has been identified as hunting bow, for a hunting god! Concluding from that information Allah is considered some sort of Horned Hunter. The attributes inscribed include giving and light. The giving may be associated with the sacrifice that the Lord does during the wheel of the year and the light associated with the sun.
  Also on this topic some sources may say that Allah was a Moon deity however this is completely wrong as the Triple Arabian Goddess is of the Moon, the 3 phases of Al-Uzza/Allat/Manat. If you have any questions on this topic feel free to e-mail me.
