There is only one true God, 1 Corinthians 8:

4 Therefore, as to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that “an idol has no real existence,” and that “there is no God [Θεὸς G2316] but one.” 5For although there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth—as indeed there are many “gods” [G2316] and many “lords”— 6 yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.
Other so-called "gods" are demons, 1 Corinthians 10:

19 What do I imply then? That food offered to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? 20 No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with demons.
Demons are angelic beings who rebel against the one true God.

So, does eating halal count as eating food sacrificed to idols? Because when killing with the halal method a Muslim will face mecca and kill the animal in the name of Allah by slitting it's throat.

And we know that Allah is not the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob.

Good question. When I worked in Saudi Arabia, the question never crossed my mind. I just bought, cooked, and ate. Even if halal counted as food sacrificed to idols, I would have eaten it anyway and thanked my God for it :)

I'm of the belief that Mohamed was inspired by the devil, not Gabriel as claimed. And the devil created a religion that glorifies himself. The symbol of Islam is of the morning star. A symbol adopted from the pagan religion in Mecca at the time.

But the devil isn't a demon, so...

Yep I agree. It's the only other entities capable of pulling it off well enough to have people believing they are gods.
Move over ancient aliens.

Exactly . Finally, I see someone really saying it as is.
