Islam

Islam is described to be an Abrahamic, monotheistic religion, teaching that there is only one God (Allah), and that Muhammad is the messenger of God. It is the world's second-largest religion with over 1.8 billion followers or 24% of the world's population, most commonly known as Muslims. Muslims make up a majority of the population in over 50 countries.

The Kaaba is a Black Cube in a building at the center of Islam's most important mosque, the Great Mosque of Mecca, Saudi Arabia. It is the most sacred site in Islam. It is considered by Muslims to be the House of God. Wherever they are in the world, Muslims are expected to face the Kaaba when performing the Islamic prayer five times a day, in synch with the daily changes of the lunar calendar. Wiki reference:

Islamic Influence
Certain factions of the Knights Templars were influenced by esoteric Islamic practices as well as distorted flavors of assorted Gnostic sects during the Middle Ages, in their interpretation and use of the Baphomet representation in hidden ritual practices. The medieval French word used for Muhammad was a derivation of the word Baphomet, as Mahomet was an alternative spelling used in the Middle Ages for the Muslim prophet Mohammed, the supposed founder of Islam that was groomed for position by the Black Sun NAA groups. Therefore, the claims that the Knights Templars in France were worshipping Baphomet in secret rituals also meant, in fact, that some of them had defected and were secret Muslims. Mahomet appears to be derived from its usage in Provence, which was the center of the Cathar Church in France, until the Albigensian Crusade and Inquisition killed or silenced any survivors.

There were beliefs in the Middle East that magical ceremonies could make severed heads act as oracles that would talk to the occultist delivering assorted levels of information and future prophecies. During the thriving era of Thoth cults in Egypt, the black magician would use a mummified head of a firstborn son in magical practice, attempting to make a talking head in which spirits could embody through its vehicle and thus be directed for divination purposes. The mummified head would be mounted onto the wall overlooking the main altar, or presented on a golden plate, from which it would deliver prophetic messages. Thus, during the Middle Ages some of the factions of Luciferian Knights Templar used mummified heads as their center of Black Magical rites assigning it as the symbol of the Baphomet, the head which would be used to communicate with these dark spiritual forces.
