There may be Muslims who believe this nonsense, but I doubt that it's anything like a majority. In Arabic culture the right hand is holy the left hand is not. When souls are being judged after death, some receive a record of life in their right hand, others their left. Those who receive their record in the left hand go to hell and the right hand go to heaven. So a tradition exists. Those simple souls who were trying to remove any suggestion that Allah has any imperfections came up with a silly notion that Allah must have two right hands and no left hand. One right hand is on the left, but hey, Christianity has the Trinity, talking snakes and donkeys, people turned into salt, a flood that drowned an entire planet and all of humankind being the result of incest between 8 people, without batting an eye. Christians also have stigmata, statues of the Virgin Mary that cry and heal people, statues of Jesus that bleed, some Christians eat wafers and drink grape juice and thing it has been transfigured into blood and flesh, some exercise demons, some imagine that blood is sacred and allow their followers to die for want thereof, etc, etc. So I wouldn't worry too much about Muslims, they have a long way to go to catch up with Christian world building. There is absolutely nothing in the Quran that suggests that Allah, or some pagan entity has two right hands.

There may be Muslims who believe this nonsense, but I doubt that it's anything like a majority. Can you show me a muslim country that is ruled by the majority (i.e. muslims that are allowed to believe what they want besides sharia, koran or the sunnah)? What about non-muslims in that country? There are more questions but I'd like to see your reply to this question first.
