If God forbid the Muslims ever take over, these pagan Israelis will be the first people they butcher. According to the archeological finds at Ras Shamra (ancient Ugarit) in Syria, the Canaanites worshipped Baal (storm god, god of might and power), Ashtoroth (godess of fertility) and Anat (god of war) among others. The mode of worship was kneeling and prostration with the forehead touching the ground. Ironically the head god in the Canaanite pantheon was El. He was referred to as "the compassionate and the merciful". Sound familiar?
