There is some evidence to support the idea that the ancient Cannanite religion, involving Moloch, did involve child sacrifice as well as ritual prostitution.

There is some historical evidence suggesting that the Moabites may have practiced child sacrifice in certain extreme circumstances. Some ancient texts and archaeological findings indicate that this practice was not uncommon among some ancient civilizations, including the Moabites. However, it's important to note that not all Moabites would have participated in or condoned such practices.

What is the nationality of Noah and his descendants?

Noah was born before the Flood, presumably in Sumer (ancient Babylonia). He was a Sethide (as opposed to a descendant of Cain). See Genesis ch.4-5. Noah's descendants:The Torah speaks of three branches of post-Flood mankind: Yefet (Jafeth), Ham, and Shem (the three sons of Noah; Genesis ch.10).The children of Yefet are (broadly speaking) the Europeans (Caucasians).The children of Ham include the ancient Egyptians, Canaanites, Nubians, Bantu (and sub-Saharan Africans in general), and many others.The children of Shem include the ancient Assyrians, Elamites, Arameans, Lyddians, and other Semitic peoples. One group of Semites gave rise to the Arabs, Hebrews, Moabites, Ammonites, Edumeans and others.


Whose descendants roamed the desert east of Palestine?

Though not all were nomads, a number of peoples lived there: the Edomites, Moabites, Ammonites, some of the Gibeonites (in Palmyra/Tadmor in later years), and probably others too. The region was called "the desert of nations" (Ezekiel 20:35) because of the (relatively) numerous peoples that lived there or traveled there. (Though this verse specifically refers to the Sinai, the desert east of Canaan/Israel/Palestine was nearby and shared the same properties.) The Edomites were descendants of Esau (Genesis ch.36). The Moabites were descendants of Lot (Genesis ch.19). The Ammonites were descendants of Lot. The Gibeonites were descendants of Canaan son of Ham.

Are Moabites Muslim?

Moab, Israel and Judah were three of the small independent West Semitic states to arise around the same time, following the decline of the Canaanite city-states. It may seem surprising that the Israelites and Judahites are now understood by scholars to have been West Semitic (Canaanite) people like the Moabites, but the Moabites never came to be regarded as Jewish. The Bible talks of a common bond between the people of the northern Hebrew kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah, but this bond is not evident with the Moabites.
