Join Gab (@StFerdinandIII) Western Civilisation was and is superior to anything Islam has developed. Islam has not aided in the development of the modern world; in fact civilisation has only been created in spite of Islam. Raising the alarm about the fascism called Submission since 2000.
Pirenne was a well-known expert on medieval history before the first World War. Whilst interned in a German prisoner of war camp he started and completed several completed books. Mohammed and Charlemagne describe the impact on Western Europe from the Mohammedan incursions and Jihad starting in the 640s in North Africa and in particular, the eradication of trade, coin, materials and urban life which was pronounced by the mid 8th century. Hence the atheist appellation ‘Dark Ages’. But like the modern, well-paid philosopher-‘scientist’ they don’t tell you why Europe may have been darker than it would have been, if allowed its normal development and trajectory. ‘Dark Ages’ as a term has no historical validity, and the dislocation caused by the Muslim Jihad is barely admitted.
‘Romania’ before the Germans
Rome did not ‘fall’ in 476 A.D. This is anti-history. As Pirenne depicts, the Roman empire had long been managed by Germans and various tribes. 476 was simply a more formal deposition to recognise the reality of German power within the empire, an ascendancy of fact dating from 410 A.D. Rome was a Mediterranean empire. The Germans were not of the Mediterranean. Post 476, very little changed.
“…the most striking, and also the most essential, was its Mediterranean character. Although in the East it was Greek, and in the West, Latin, its Mediterranean character gave it a unity which impressed itself upon the provinces as a whole. The inland sea, in the full sense of the term Mare nostrum, was the vehicle of ideas, and religious, and merchandise…..as one travelled away from it civilisation became more rarefied. The last great city of the North was Lyons.”
Rome was a consumer city. Constantinople in the 5th century AD was the world’s largest city and a manufacturing centre and a maritime, trading entrepot. Rome was not. The Orient or East was far more active, urban and richer than the West. Rome and the West of the empire utterly depended on Constantinople for trade, specie and goods production. A similar relationship exists today in many areas where China and eastern lands ship manufactured products of all sizes and varieties to de-industrialising, de-manufacturing, Western states.
The Syrians and the Jews controlled the maritime traffic moving from East to West and back again. Jews and Syrians were found all over Western lands, in some citieds like Marseilles constituting a majority along its harbour area. They brought papyrus, spices, ivory, wines, silk, fabrics, art and manufactured product to the West. The entire Roman empire used the gold solidus, a common legal framework and Christian ethos and religiousity dominated the culture and minds of the population.
The German tribes starting in the 4th century entered the Roman empire and accepted all they encountered. They converted to Christianity, become Romanised, learnt Latin and supported existing Roman institutions. They added nothing. Before the 5th century most of the Roman army was already fully Germanised under the guise of the word ‘Roman’. The Vandals, Goths, Suevians and others achieved notoriety as skilled soldiers and generals.
The Huns and other Asiatic tribes ‘pushed’ large groups of Germans into the Roman empire starting in the 4th century. Entire peoples migrated across Roman frontiers along the Danube or Rhine. The upheavals in both Roman East and West were many, but the salient point made by Pirenne is that by 439, after defeating the Romans twice, the Visigoths were masters of much of Gaul and at the same time the Vandals took the important and food producing province of Africa. It was the Vandal takeover of Africa which presaged the complete collapse of the old Roman order.
With the Vandal subjugation of Africa, Rome was largely without food. Its army could not be resupplied, its million population now at risk of starvation. In 441 the Romans attacked the Vandals in North Africa but were defeated. The richest parts of the empire were now German including Carthage the second largest Mediterranean port after Constantinople, Byzacium and Numidia.
At the same time the Huns ravaged and murdered in a great swathe along the plains from Thrace to Gaul. By 451 Attila and the Huns were laying waste to the Roman civilisation along the Loire valley. The Roman general Aetius, with his Burgundian, Visigothic, and Frankish allies soundly defeated Attila in 453 near Troyes. The Vandals in 455, after the murder of the Roman emperor refused to recognise his successor and sacked Rome. The Visigoths also proclaimed themselves independent from Rome in Gaul. The depositions of Romulus as Roman emperor in 476 was a formality, not a crash or a fall. The German tribes in various regions took over the Roman empire, its structure, institutions and civilisation.
And this is Pirenne’s important thesis. Nothing changed post 476. The empire under new masters continued along as before. Trade was still robust, the solidus and specie still used and minted, the East-West flow of materials unaltered, the African production of food and its dissemination still essential and continuing, the use of papyrus for writing and administration flowing from Egypt into the Roman urban areas undiminished in flow and quantity. The ports were still full, the urban economies still operated under Roman law and Christian influence, the art, textiles and manufactured items used in daily life, still produced and consumed. No shuddering crash, no thunderous implosion, the sun still rose in the East and set in the West. The Roman empire never crashed – until the Muslim Jihad arrived in 637 A.D. and destroyed the unity, coherence and cultural singularity of the Roman Christian Mediterranean-based empire.
This follows on from a blog 10 years ago, on 9-11 which asked ‘what did we learn 10 years after that fateful declaration of war on ‘liberal’ democratic societies’, which thanks to the Corona fascism are now illiberal, undemocratic and probably not as free as some areas under Taliban control. Twenty years after 9-11, the USA is run by a despotic Communist dictatorship, in the persona of a man who has been stupid and criminally corrupt his whole life. Who would have thought that 20 years post 9-11, the Muslims or ‘terrorists’ would have seen the US morph into a totalitarian repression?
20 years on and what exactly have we remembered and learned from the unprovoked Muslim attack, coordinated by Al Qaeda or the base, and which heralded a 20 year war in Afghanistan and Iraq ?
According to the Muslimified Prime Minister of Canada, the real concern is the impact 9-11 had on Muslims. He starkly and darkly chides Canadians for Islamophobia, or wrong think. His Immigration Minister – a female Muslim who criminally lied on her refugee status and reason to emigrate to Canada which should have resulted in her deportation– calls the Taliban ‘brothers’. Muslims who dominate many national legislatures evoke the same philosophies and biases. These two expressions of solidarity with the ‘minority Muslim’ are hardly novel, and they are in fact for most Western governments and those useless creatures called politicians and civil servants, standard beliefs and policies.
20 years after 9-11 and the Muslim diaspora has accelerated. 15 million or more entered the EU and UK from 2011-2021. In the UK alone some 400.000 Muslims arrive every year to settle. The large northern English cities of Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield and Bradford are in many locales, Muslim dominated. Imams openly preach that they the Muslim umma, will conquer north England. They can add Londonistan to the list. East London is largely Muslim and Indian. It is about as English as Lahore. From London the Muslim diaspora, arriving in waves every year, spreads itself out to the hinterland. There is not one English community of any size, within a 2-hour drive of London, that does not have a noticeable Muslim presence. And more illegal Muslims and Africans arrive on the coasts of Sussex and Kent, eagerly welcomed as ‘refugees’ by the media, the Church and the anti-English self-loathing racists who deplore Christians and Whites. 50.000 will make landfall this year and bring over 200.000 of their families and friends, since not one has been deported during the tenure of the Corona King Boris and his Hindu-Ugandan born Home Secretary responsible for such matters.
The UK is not unique in its love of Muslim immigrants. TV adverts the world over depict Blacks and Muslims as the superiors of the hated Whites, hair flowing, white teeth, athletic, or studious and severe behind eye glasses whilst discovering something in a lab, or programming some code into their iMac, with their White girlfriend close to hand. The EU has allowed more than 10 million Muslims to enter unvetted since 2011 with hundreds of Jihad attacks ranging from the enormous to the small. Notre Dame was no accident. Now millions from Afghanistan will enter the EU, to be dispersed to the provinces of Greater Germany, with governments demanding that the ‘racist, phobic’ locals, do their utmost to welcome in the ‘refugees’ who will enrich them by not working, committing rapes and crime and calling for Sharia barbarism. 90% of Muslim immigrants are unemployed in Sweden. The same numbers can be found all over Europe. If the Muslims don’t physically conquer Europe, they will certainly bankrupt it.
20 years after 9-11 and what have we learned?
The media still won’t discuss the real ‘root cause’ of 9-11. Islam has 1400 years of barbaric war with ‘bloody borders’ and its keystone document is more Christophobic than Judeophobic. Western civilisation and certainly what is left of the liberal-doddering Churches is the enemy and always has been. Devout Moslems truly believe that the Babylonian moon deity Hub'Allah, or the Al-Lah, has chosen them to rule the earth in his or its name, through the 'great man' Muhammad, the most important law-giver in human history. At times fictional insanity cannot match factual reality.
20 years later on and what have we learned?
According to the media and most academics it is just 'Islamists' were are fighting, as if one group of backwards vicious Moslems got the whole idea of Muhammad's enterprise wrong. Sometimes the Islamists are called militants, terrorists, or disaffected youth. They are never connected to Moslem theology. 10.000 dead a year world-wide from Moslem attacks and over 40.000 attacks since 9-11, and yet the big brains cannot connect Islam with Moslems with violent death-loving Jihad.
20 years later on and what have we learned?
Few know that the cult of Muhammad is both racist and supremacist. The Koran calls for the eradication of Jews, Christians and non-Muslims. Not many know this. Blacks are regarded as inferior and to be enslaved, unless they convert to the moon cult. Today in Africa Muslims own an estimated 5 million Black slaves, but no one is asking them to bend knees at sport matches. In Nigeria Muslims slaughter 5.000 Christians a year. No one is asking them to bend knees to Christians and ask forgiveness. The cult of Muhammad is just another expression of totalitarianism, but few know this. It is portrayed by Western fake news and hacks as a minority, under duress and repressed. There are more Muslims in the world now than Catholics.
20 years later on and what have we learned?
The poverty of Arab and Moslem states is blamed on the West, 'capitalism' [which is non-existent in its pure form], trade and globalisation. The Jews in tiny Israel, surrounded by 300 million hostile Moslems are singled out as the 'root cause' of massive Moslem terror, jihad and societal poverty. Arabs squatting in former Jewish territory [see 980 BC] are now called Palestinians and survive on both international welfare and Jewish aid. Their stated goal is another holocaust. Hamas and Hizbollah are feted as freedom-fighting organizations, deeply devoted to harmony and multi-culturalism.
20 years later on and what have we learned?
As with the Rona Fascism, we have learned that people will believe anything if told by ‘experts’ and the Fake News. 20 years later on and it seems we have not learned that much about Islam, the Koran, the history of Muhammad, the imperialist spread of jihadic Muhammadanism, the 300 million dead over 1400 years, and the 10.000 killed annually in the new century by oil-funded Moslem depredation. Moslems in Turkey and elsewhere openly proclaim the intention of a new Caliphate. Moslems in India brag about wiping out the Hindus – after raping and converting their women. Jews are targeted for another holocaust. Iran readies a nuclear weapon. 5th column groups are busy in the US and Europe, usually with taxpayer money, in devising various means to bring down their host governments. There has not been one single Moslem demonstration anywhere in the Western world, ever, against Moslem racism, supremacism, Jew-hate, female mutilation, dis-honor killings, jihad attacks, and intolerance. Not one. And that includes the days following 9-11.
20 years later on and what have we learned?
In our culture, in our cities, in our immigration systems, in our schools, in our politics - not a hell of a lot.
Sura 3 is a long scream against Christians. Most ‘scholars’ miss the obvious point that the Muhammadan cult is just as Christophobic, if not more so, than Judeophobic. Sura 3 goes to great lengths to convince Christians that Christ was not divine, was simply a prophet of Baal or Al-Lah and was preparing the way for Muhammad to complete the proselytization of ‘People of the Book’ to the cult of Submission (Islam). The Sura is frank and clear on the punishments in this life and the next, which Christians will experience if they do not recant their ‘errors’ and (re)convert to Muhammadanism.
This supremacist chant is found throughout Sura 3, which is best regarded as an anti-Christian document and exposition of why Christians can be attacked, tormented and killed in this lifetime for disobeying the ‘clear signs’ of the Al-Lah, and Christ’s own teaching to submit to the Al-Lah, some 575 years before the Al Lah cult of Muhammad was invented, or given it is based on Baal, extended from its pagan origins to focus solely on Muhammad’s dictatorship and control. Baal the moon deity was the Al-Lah or Lord of Mecca, and Muhammad’s family were the caretakers of the Baal shrine in Mecca. Baal is portrayed in the Old Testament as the religion of evil, demonic, with child sacrifice, sexual deviancy, impropriety, mendacity, violence and unlawful activity the common traits of the human destroying moon cult. Christ had nothing to do with the moon cult and never mentions the pagan practices of the Baal worshippers. The Koran in its supremacism, simply conflates itself with Judeo-Christianity and appropriates all practices and beliefs as its own.
Sura 3 also has Koranic racism and supremacism on display. A few racist tracts sure to titillate the knee benders of the Burn Loot and Murder Corporation who eagerly ignore Black, Muslim enslavement of both Whites and Blacks, which still goes on today (many White women are sex slaves of both Blacks and Muslims, and both Blacks and Muslims own millions of Black slaves today in Africa):
(105) On the Day [some] faces will turn white and [some] faces will turn black. As for those whose faces turn black, [to them it will be said], "Did you disbelieve after your belief? Then taste the punishment for what you used to reject."
(106) But as for those whose faces will turn white, [they will be] within the mercy of Allah. They will abide therein eternally.
Blacks go to hell for ‘unbelief’, unless they convert to Muhammad’s cult. Muhammad is depicted in Mein Koran as a very White man, who owned and traded in Black slaves. Some were set free, if they joined his cult. The Koran makes mention of this in a few places, that slaves can become freemen (women need not apply), if they accept the Moon idol Baal or Al-Lah and Muhammad as his only ‘messenger’.
As for Christians, they need to follow the example of Christ, who apparently, was just a seer for Baal and who demanded his followers to submit to the rules and laws of the Al-Lah.
(51) But when Jesus felt [persistence in] disbelief from them, he said, "Who are my supporters for [the cause of] Allah?" The disciples said, "We are supporters for Allah. We have believed in Allah and testify that we are Muslims [submitting to Him]
(53) And the disbelievers planned, but Allah planned. And Allah is the best of planners.
In Muhammad’s time, Christians were ‘disbelievers’ who ignored their founder’s own mandate, given to him by Al-Lah, and they must either reconvert back to the Al-Lah cult or face destruction.
(54) [Mention] when Allah said, "O Jesus, indeed I will take you and raise you to Myself and purify you from those who disbelieve and make those who follow you [in submission to Allah alone] superior to those who disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return, and I will judge between you concerning that in which you used to differ.
(55) And as for those who disbelieved, I will punish them with a severe punishment in this world and the Hereafter, and they will have no helpers."
Christians and Jews argued over scripture, sent by the Al-Lah, but they don’t understand what it says or means, or that it concerns the laws of the Al-Lah not their Old and New Testaments. Abraham after all, like Christ, was a Muslim.
(64) O People of the Scripture, why do you argue about Abraham while the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Then will you not reason?
(65) Here you are - those who have argued about that of which you have [some] knowledge, but why do you argue about that of which you have no knowledge? And Allah knows, while you know not.
(66) Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was one inclining toward truth, a Muslim [submitting to Allah]. And he was not of the polytheists.
(69) O People of the Scripture, why do you disbelieve in the verses of Allah while you witness [to their truth]?
Christians should better understand that their own scripture supports Muhammad’s cult of submission. Everything in the Christian and Jewish texts were given to the prophets by the Al-Lah, which by default, means that Muhammad and his messages must be true and must be followed.
(70) O People of the Scripture, why do you confuse the truth with falsehood and conceal the truth while you know [it]?
(71) And a faction of the People of the Scripture say [to each other], "Believe in that which was revealed to the believers at the beginning of the day and reject it at its end that perhaps they will abandon their religion
Say, "We have believed in Allah and in what was revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Descendants, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus and to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims [submitting] to Him."
Any Christian denying that his texts point to Islam and Muhammad’s rule will be punished.
(84) And whoever desires other than Islam as religion - never will it be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers.
(85) How shall Allah guide a people who disbelieved after their belief and had witnessed that the Messenger is true and clear signs had come to them? And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.
(86) Those - their recompense will be that upon them is the curse of Allah and the angels and the people, all together
(87) Abiding eternally therein. The punishment will not be lightened for them, nor will they be reprieved.
(88) Except for those who repent after that and correct themselves. For indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
(89) Indeed, those who reject the message after their belief and then increase in disbelief - never will their [claimed] repentance be accepted, and they are the ones astray.
(90) Indeed, those who disbelieve and die while they are disbelievers - never would the [whole] capacity of the earth in gold be accepted from one of them if he would [seek to] ransom himself with it. For those there will be a painful punishment, and they will have no helpers.
Painful punishments and torture await the unrepentant Christian who dares to disobey Muhammad or his cult.
(3) Before, as guidance for the people. And He revealed the Qur'an. Indeed, those who disbelieve in the verses of Allah will have a severe punishment, and Allah is exalted in Might, the Owner of Retribution.
(9) Indeed, those who disbelieve - never will their wealth or their children avail them against Allah at all. And it is they who are fuel for the Fire.
Any who denied the ‘signs’ of Al-Lah including Pharoah Ramses II were destroyed. This is a clear warning to Christians not to disobey Muhammad.
(10) [Theirs is] like the custom of the people of Pharaoh and those before them. They denied Our signs, so Allah seized them for their sins. And Allah is severe in penalty.
(11) Say to those who disbelieve, "You will be overcome and gathered together to Hell, and wretched is the resting place."
Christianity is simply the expression of Islam. Christians must return to the true teachings of the Al-Lah or be destroyed.
(18) Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam. And those who were given the Scripture did not differ except after knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity between themselves. And whoever disbelieves in the verses of Allah, then indeed, Allah is swift in [taking] account.
(20) Those who disbelieve in the signs of Allah and kill the prophets without right and kill those who order justice from among the people - give them tidings of a painful punishment.
(21) They are the ones whose deeds have become worthless in this world and the Hereafter, and for them there will be no helpers.
Muslims cannot trust, nor befriend Christians. Followers of Christ who do not submit to Muhammad are the enemy.
(27) Let not believers take disbelievers as allies rather than believers. And whoever [of you] does that has nothing with Allah, except when taking precaution against them in prudence. And Allah warns you of Himself, and to Allah is the [final] destination.
(31) Say, "Obey Allah and the Messenger." But if they turn away - then indeed, Allah does not like the disbelievers.
(98) Say, "O People of the Scripture, why do you avert from the way of Allah those who believe, seeking to make it [seem] deviant, while you are witnesses [to the truth]? And Allah is not unaware of what you do."
(99) O you who have believed, if you obey a party of those who were given the Scripture, they would turn you back, after your belief, [to being] unbelievers.
Muslims are the best people. Muslims must rule over others. Only Muslims enjoy the grace and favour of the Al-Lah. All other people including Christians will be ruled or destroyed by Muslims.
(109) You are the best nation produced [as an example] for mankind. You enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and believe in Allah. If only the People of the Scripture had believed, it would have been better for them. Among them are believers, but most of them are defiantly disobedient.
The above is only from the first half of Sura 3. Out of 109 verses, 29 are openly Christophobic and supremacist. A few are racist. The rest support the theme that the People of the Book must return to the cult of Baal or Muhammadanism. These supporting verses purport to explain why all Jewish and Christian doctrine was essentially Muhammadan or Muslim, and that every prophet from Adam to Moses and Christ, were bearers of the Al-Lah’s commandments and doctrines. Christians who did not believe in Muhammad were ‘rebellious’ and ‘wayward’ and must be dealt with harshly in this life and sent to hell in the next. This theme grants divine protection and guidance, for Muslims to destroy Christians and Christianity.
Two notable events in Western Christian history this week.
Henry More (1614–1687), an English philosopher, scientist, and theologian.
September 1 marks the anniversary of when Henry More, a notable 17th century Christian philosopher, theologian, scientist and poet, died at the age of 72.
More was known for being a prominent member of the Cambridge Platonist movement, which sought to reconcile Ancient Greek philosopher Plato’s ideas with Christianity.
In 1671, More had his magnum opus Enchiridion metaphysicum published, which argued for what he called a “Spirit of Nature” as a driving force of how the world functioned.
September 2 1192, Richard the Lionheart signs the Treaty of Jaffa (3rd Crusade ends)
English King Richard I (1157-1199), known as the Lionheart for his military prowess and physical strength, led the Third Crusade to victories at Acre and the coast of Israel, before signing a treaty with Saladin.
Jaffa was a city 40 miles from Jerusalem, the end target objective of the Third Crusade. The Crusaders were surrounded but successfully fought off the Muslim armies at Jaffa, who suffered deep losses. The Lionheart led a Christian relief force which swept away the Muslims besieging the city and the Crusaders defending it. Even with this victory, it was clear that the Christians did not have enough men to take Jerusalem, and the Muslims did not have the requisite force or ambition to dislodge the Christians from their strongholds along the coast.
xi Biden and the Communist coup in America has been a disaster. The country will likely cease to exist in its current form after a few years. A consequence of such a vapid, corrupt regime is foreign policy disasters. Leaving $100 billion in military equipment to the Muslim, Koran-inspired Taliban, after squandering 20 years and $2 trillion in costs for a war with few if any objectives, denotes an empire not only in decline, but febrile and decomposing into a shadow of former strength. After Bin Laden was killed in 2011, and thousands of Muslim Jihadis exterminated by the date of this death, it was high time to leave. Hanging on for 10 years has achieved precisely nothing, except the inevitable withdrawal, collapse, and of course the redounding persecution by Muslims of non-Muslims.
There is no Western institution from quackademia to the Fake News who will even mention the Muslim destruction of Afghani Christians. They will whine of course, that millions of Muslim Afghanis need ‘protection’ through unfettered access to formerly Christian and White states as ‘refugees’. If Muslim Afghanis are in danger, why can’t Muslim countries receive them and provide succour?
Now the Afghans who have converted to Christianity are in mortal danger. The statement continued: “The Taliban has a hit list of known Christians they are targeting to pursue and kill. The U.S. Embassy is defunct and there is no longer a safe place for believers to take refuge. All borders to neighboring countries are closed and all flights to and from have been halted, with the exception of private planes. People are fleeing into the mountains looking for asylum. They are fully reliant on God, who is the only One who can and will protect them.”
If they don’t find a place to hide, the consequences could be horrific: “The Taliban are going door-to-door taking women and children. The people must mark their house with an ‘X’ if they have a girl over 12 years old, so that the Taliban can take them. If they find a young girl and the house was not marked they will execute the entire family. If a married woman 25 years or older has been found, the Taliban promptly kill her husband, do whatever they want to her, and then sell her as a sex slave.”
Who will speak for the Christians in Muslim-Taliban controlled Afghanistan? No one, except Christian organisations will provide aid. The socialists-communists will applaud the Taliban’s destruction of Christianity. Such a policy renders them allies.
In the 19th century Islam was rightly called Muhammadanism. The cult of Muhammad is the more accurate and specific designation for the Arab totalitarian fascism, in which Sharia Bronze Age premised barbarism identifies the social contract between man and God and demands complete subservience to the Koran and its legal derivatives. There is no compatibility between such a project and religions, philosophies or state constructs, which lie outside of it.
Mohammed and his cult were and are today, profoundly Christophobic. Christianity is viewed as an oppositional power to Muhammadanism and is demonised and demeaned in Mein Koran, as being allied with Satan, based on pagan idol worship (Holy Trinity) and the deification of a prophet who was not divine. Approximately 25% of the Koran is Christopobic. Sura 2, the longest chapter is an example and the Christophobic verses are given below using the standard translation by Yusuf Ali a Moslem apologist and bigot. There are at least 50 verses in this Sura or about 25%, which are Christophobic. Some overlap, some may not be solely directed at Christians. But there are at least 50 different expressions of Christophobia in this Sura and over 60 if one was being punctilious.
Note that unbelievers, kufrs, those who rebel, transgressors, those who do not follow, reference both Jews and Christians. A Kuffar or kufr in Islam is simply someone who does not believe in ‘Al Lah’, the Lord of Mecca, conflated with God, though Al-Lah has nothing to do with the Christian ideals of God. Al-Lah or the Lord of Mecca was Baal the moon deity. This is described in this Sura. The Muhammadan God is quite different than the Christian Trinity, or Yahweh. The Jews and Christians ‘perverted’ the original word of God and have followed the wrong paths of worship. This makes them infidels.
It bears repeating that Mein Koran is a supremacist book in which both Judaism and Christianity are attacked and marginalised as insignificant, blind, immoral, wayward, demonic, ignorant, evil, adulterous, lecherous, greedy for trade and profit and full of unbelief.

Chapter 2 The Cow - Al-Baqara: Verse 90

They ask them concerning fighting in the Prohibited Month. Say: "Fighting therein is a grave (offence); but graver is it in the sight of Allah to prevent access to the path of Allah, to deny Him, to prevent access to the Sacred Mosque, and drive out its members." Tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter. Nor will they cease fighting you until they turn you back from your faith if they can.

No passages exist in this longest of Suras, advocating peace, harmony, or inter-faith cultural tolerance towards Jews or Christians. None. This Sura accepts Jesus as a prophet but that is all. It clearly rejects the Trinity, the Gospels and Christian interpretation of the Old Testament. The Sura demands that Christians worship ‘Al Lah’ and not their Trinity. They must also accept Muhammad’s pre-eminence over Christ and the superiority of the ‘revelations’ contained in the Koran, over that of the New Testament. Further, warring, attacking and killing Christians is validated since they are described as intransigent, evil, demonic, greedy, misinformed, stupid and hard-hearted against Muslims.
This Sura must be read in its proper context. That is a screed against both the Jewish and Christian theologies. Ignoring the obvious Christophobia in the Koran, is simply to be ignorant of what has propelled 1400 years of Muslim Jihad against Christian and post-Christian empires and states.
Approximately 25 % of the Muhammadan handbook called Recital (Koran) is Christophobic. About the same amount is anti-Semitic. Yet we only hear about the anti-Semitic nature of Mein Koran. The Muhammadan book of hate is also profoundly Christophobic. It is just as genocidal against Christians, as it is against the Jews and in fact, even more so, since Christianity is mocked as pagan heathenism in the Koran, a religion with 3 Gods (the Holy Trinity), a false claim of divinity (Jesus), and a long list of remonstrances against Old Testament Judaism, which provides the foundation for the Muhammadan cult documents. Muhammad viewed himself as an Old Testament prophet, not a heretical Christian leader.
Recital or Koran is as much an anti-Christian theo-philosophy as it is a manual to war and conquer non-Muslims. This is a fact lost on the Jewish controlled (or heavily influenced) ‘media’ and entertainment sectors in the West. The propaganda outlets providing ‘news’ rarely do so and are quite ignorant about ‘root causes’ of the Muslim Jihad against formerly Christian Europe or the Christian populations of the Near East and Africa. The Muhammadan’s hate for Christianity is revealed in the vitriol against the Church of Christ contained in Mein Koran. The same deliberate ignorance is also true of the ‘academic’ world, suffused with Muslim money, desirous not to offend ‘non-Whites’ and quite happy to engage in anti-White racism, with Christianity often portrayed as a ‘colonising’ philosophy of ‘racist Whites’. This is one reason why millions of American Blacks have joined the Muhammadan cult including the virulent and violent Nation of Islam. White ‘racialism’ is often equated with Christianity, though it was only White Christians who ended the Black-slave trade. One reason why Nigeria has such a thriving Anglican church, is that the White Anglicans tore down the Black slave markets, used by Blacks and Muslims, and built churches in their place.
Moslem cult doctrine does not 'accept' Christians. This is lie given to the hoi-polloi by dimwit 'experts' in the media and academia. The Koran clearly identifies Christians as evil, allied with Satan, stupid like donkeys, greedy, lazy, untrustworthy, confused, mendacious and deluded. 'Peoples of the Book' is a pejorative phrase denoting the inferior nature of Jews and Christians who had 'strayed' from the 'truth' or Sharia [path] of righteousness. The Allah-thing, or Meccan moon deity Baal or Hub’al in Arabic, had 'given' the original 'word' to the Jews and their sub-sect the Christians, who went out of their way to pervert, change, and ignore divine 'law'. It was up to the most important human ever – Muhammad – to set things right and get the human race organized. In this vein killing those who did not accept Baal’s laws is of course not only acceptable, but mandatory. Jihad is clearly identified in the Koran, in over 1600 verses, as being a 'pillar' of the cult.
The Christian-hatred is evident in every part and on every page of the Koran. The anti-Christian bile is consistent. There are certainly chapters when the hate-speech is punctuated in both villainy and quantity. Yet the thematic of not accepting Christians and of warring against them in some fashion, or at the very least, separating the 'superior' Moslem, from the Untermensch Christian, is a particular and pulsating charge in Muhammad's handbook of hate.

In Hitler's Mein Kampf about 20% was dedicated hate speech against the Jews. In Mein Koran, about 25%, or more hate speech than exists in Mein Kampf, is issued against the Infidel Christian. There is a good reason why Islam’s ‘bloody borders’ exist anywhere the cult of Muhammad had contact with Christian states. 1400 years of history, Jihad, war, and violence against Christianity is rather demonstrable proof that Muhammadanism is not peace.
There is an important section in this book, which outlines the little known story of Nicholas Bergier who was an 18th century French priest and critic of ‘The Enlightenment’. His importance is that he lays out the rational case for Catholicism, its morality, practicality, inventiveness and rationality. He carries on the work of St. Thomas Acquinas who also answered critics of the Church and its mysteries of faith, with evidence of reasonable rationality and natural applicability of Church doctrines, rituals and beliefs.
As a parish priest he wrote a best-selling book, ‘Deism Refuted’ in 1765 which destroyed the main themes of ‘Enlightened’ Deism. Freed from pastoral duties after this success he wrote full time and produced a long array of volumes defending the Church against its ‘Rationalist’ enemies including the insufferably inane Jean Jacques Rousseau.
Rousseau and the ‘Romantic Rationalists’ offered that if God existed, he can best be experienced within the purity of nature. Man must return to nature to recover God. Societal institutions which stand between man and God must therefore be dismantled including the entire hierarchy of the Church. Bergier recognised that this argument was more powerful, if however deluded, than the ‘rationalisations’ offered by Deists, or Atheists who denied the existence of created order and a creating intelligence and spirit. Bergier argued that Christianity was never a private revelation but instead a revelation of humankind through witnesses, saints and prophets. One cannot be a Christian without accepting their testimony and doctrines. This demanded an institution to codify the arguments, revelations, dogma, rites and rituals in order to understand the true nature of Christianity and God. Rituals such as baptism, the sacraments and communal masses were fundamental to exploring and comprehending God and his covenant. Without such rituals no religion long survives.
Bergier also attacked d’Holbach the foremost Atheist of the era, who attempted to show that Christianity led to barbarism, because it perverted man’s nature. Bergier destroyed this fallacy through an enormous display of facts and erudition, contending that Christianity and especially its morality, led to creativity, energy, invention and happiness. Importantly Bergier rejected the ‘planned grace’ of God, as maintained by St. Augustine and picked up by Protestants who believe in pre-destination as incorrect. Grace, said Bergier, was open to all who accepted Christ and God, and who showed through good works their faith and belief. This could include even the salvation of those who unknowingly (such as in the Americas or Orient), were outside the formal Church.
In today’s Catholic Church, a voice such as Bergier’s would be censored and shut down. He would be decried by the Vatican Curia and Pope as a ‘traditionalist’, someone who was not ‘progressive’ and who stubbornly refused ‘new facts’ and ‘science’ that the Church must adapt to. He would be thought too doctrinaire and ‘divisive’. But this is how religions end. When the beliefs, the mysteries, the saints, the immaterial, the deeply contemplative and philosophical is abandoned, so too is reason and practicality, along with purpose and truth. When a Church simply becomes another outlet for mainstream views, propaganda and globalist pablum, it will cease to exist, either imploding from its own irrelevance, or taken over by its global masters and reduced to nothing.
The current Scientism (Humanism-Communism) zeitgeist, with its non-science, fraud, ad-hominem attacks, censorship, and fascistic overtones, is a logical outgrowth of the ‘Enlightenment, where ‘reason’ or the Church of Reason, must rule. Scientism is the imposition of the ‘One’ rule, ‘One’ interpretation of ‘science’ to rule them all. Corona Fascism or Flu Fascism is simply an expression of this anti-human, anti-reason, anti-reality, program. It comports exactly with the views and religions of the Masons, the Illuminati, and the Communists (also called Humanists).
The program put forward by the Masons, the Illuminati and the Communists, is summarised quite well by Epperson. One sees it promulgated today by the ruling elite and various international fora such as the World Economic Forum, or United Nations. Its tenets as capably outlined by Epperson are:
1-Destruction of Christianity
2-Destruction of normal families, genders and relationships
3-Deconstruction of the existing nation state and all laws
4-Abolition of private property and private incomes
5-One World Government
6-One World Religion based on the Church of Reason
As Epperson writes, if the Great Reset premised on a 99.8% survival rate flu, sounds ‘Satanic’, it is quite literally, demonic. Many of the New Age movements, and older ‘Humanist’ or Communist forces, advocate the deification of Lucifer and the destruction of Christianity and its omnipotent God.
But perhaps the most insightful comment about the nature of what the New Age religion believed in, and who they worshipped as their god, was written by Mrs. Cumbey in her book entitled, THE HIDDEN DANGERS OF THE RAINBOW. She wrote that they had: "... the intent of bringing about a New World Order -- an order that writes God out of the picture and deifies Lucifer."
In ancient times Lucifer was the God of the Sun. The Christian or Jewish God is not the God of the Sun or light, but a God who denied man reason. Lucifer was the one who gave Adam and Eve the fruit of knowledge. For Masons, the Illuminati and New Agers, this means that Lucifer is the real God who helps and illumines human existence. The Christian God is thereby evil, malicious and must be annihilated.
Epperson:
Masonry's "... ceremonies, symbols, and the celebrated legend of Hiram in the Master Mason's degree, were directly borrowed from the 'Ancient Mysteries,' or the secret worship of Baal, Osiris or Tammuz." Albert Pike (prolific Masonic Order member and writer part of the inner circle of the 33rd right) then detailed where the mysteries went after their beginnings in Egypt. He wrote this in MORALS AND DOGMA: "From Egypt, the Mysteries went to Phoenicia, and were celebrated at Tyre. Osiris changed his name, and became Adoni or Dionusos, still the representative of the sun. In Greece and Sicily, Osiris took the name of Bacchus..."
In the Mason religion, Hiram the great builder of the Temple of Solomon was murdered by 3 men. These men represent the Jewish religion, the State and its Laws. Hiram was the emblem of reason and rationality. The Masons believe in destroying Christianity, the State and existing Legal codes. They are violently anti-Christian, and believe that when the Church falls, all else will begin to collapse as well. In this vein, they share similar goals with the Humanists (Atheists) and Communists (Atheists). The Masons like the Humanists or Communists profess the Church of Reason (similar to what generated the French Revolution and Napoleon). There is precious little reason in their belief systems, nor do they even define ‘reason’ or what it means, or how it can be recognised. Further, they believe like the Communists, that natural man, in a natural state is a good being, and that by destroying the Christian-based order of State power and laws, man can be returned to a happy natural state, owning nothing, being part of a collective and ruled by those using ‘reason’. Christianity teaches the fall and natural sin. Masons, Communists and Humanists preach the opposite. It is thus the Church which must be destroyed, and this will solve society’s problems.
Today the Catholic Church’s Pope is a Communist-Humanist from Argentina, a Jesuit, Bergoglio. He appeared out of nowhere to become Pope, much the same way that Hussein Obama became a Senator and US President, and Rothschild investment banker Macron, became the French President. True Catholic Pope’s long understood the power and evil intent of the Masons.
Epperson:
Pope Leo XIII, the Catholic Pope from 1878 to 1903. He wrote these words in an encyclical entitled HUMANUS GENUS: "Their ultimate purpose: namely, the overthrow of that whole religious and political order of the world which the Christian teaching has produced, and the substitution of a new state of things in accordance with their ideas, of which the foundations and laws shall be drawn from mere naturalism." …(the) Pope states that the Masons share the vision of Karl Marx, the Communist, who wanted to "abolish private property." The Pope said that the Masons wanted to destroy "the distinctions of property."
Winston Churchill was aware of the Free Masons, the Illuminati and the Communist links, common theories and philosophies, and that powerful agents working for these organisations were trying to destroy Western Civilisation.
Epperson:
He wrote about what he had discovered when he made his views public in a London newspaper in 1920. These are those thoughts: "From the days of Spartacus-Weishaupt to those of Karl Marx, to those of Trotsky, Bela Kun, Rosa Luxembourg, and Emma Goldman, this worldwide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilization and for the reconstitution of society on the basis of arrested development, of envious malevolence [defined as being done with malice; spiteful] and impossible equality, has been steadily growing. It played a recognizable role in the tragedy of the French Revolution. It has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the nineteenth century, and now at last this band of extraordinary personalities from the underworld of the great cities of Europe and America have gripped the Russian people by the hair of their heads and have become practically the undisputed masters of that enormous empire."
Spartacus was the code name that Adam Weishaupt, the founder of the Illuminati (1776), used inside that organization; Karl Marx was, of course, the so-called "father of communism;"
If we look at current events we see the imposition of the Mason-Humanist/Communist program. One of the key tactics used by governments has been to terrify the population with unlimited propaganda. To achieve ‘herd immunity’ to reason, every government hired behavioural psychologists to bomb the public with threats, suggestions, demands and totalitarian diktats, none based on science, but on fear and hate. It worked.
One of the great but influential frauds in the 20th century, was Behavioural Psychologist BF Skinner. Like John Dewey who was voted the most important 'thinker' in US Education in the 20th century, Skinner was a Communist (Humanist, Rationalist). Both believed that freedom must die. Both themes are obvious within the Rona Fascism narrative.
BF Skinner: "We can no longer afford freedom, and so it must be replaced with control over man, his conduct and his culture."
SAGE or the Scientific Advisory Group in the UK which runs the country under the Corona Emergency Legislation, is suffused with BF Skinners, Communists, Socialists and Humanists. This is no accident. It hearkens back to the prediction made by another Humanist (Communist) JS Huxley, a slavish cult member of the Evolution religion, who predicted that during the 21rst century mankind would be managed and ruled by a global set of ‘controllers’. The World Economic Forum today agrees, calling for a Great Reset, the abolition of private property, private income, the reconstruction of society, gender, laws and norms and the deconstruction of all Churches.
There may or may not be a ‘coordinated’ attempt to overthrow Western Civilisation using the Corona virus as an excuse. The facts are pretty obvious, however. The plans of the Masons, the Illuminati and the Communists are being implemented. It is likely more than just a coincidence that these current implementations, demands, non-science, totalitarian controls, all comport themselves with the New World Order theories and concepts promulgated for centuries by these three groups who have dedicated themselves to the destruction of civilisation.
The Dark Ages of course never existed. Except in the fetid minds of Christian-haters and those opposed to the Church. Voltaire, Gibbon et al never created, built, or manufactured a single item. Yet they are declared by their cult members as the intelligent Uber mensch, bringing classical thought and light, back to a world rotted with the sick decayed corpus of a corrupt Church....the opposite is true of course.
Fat men in periwigs, strutting around in their diffident ignorance offered very little of value to the world, even in their domain of metaphysics.
Science did not suddenly 'evolve' by magic random chance in the 17th century. Newton and other Christians, both Catholic and Protestant, did not spring out of the dirty, muddy ground and pronounce rootless, detached theorems ad novo. 2000 or more years of patient discovery, including the foundations of modern math and science long pre-date Newton, the Galileo myth, or the Atheist legends that only the godless discover 'truth'. The cult of the Vaccine, Corona, Globaloneywarming and the fraud of Evolution are the results of ‘Scientism’ or the worship of ‘Science’, not premised on reality, common-sense, or proof, but on philosophy, models and anti-humanism.
The Enlightenment, an English perversion of a word which once had meaning, was an endless Protestant attack on the Church. It was not elevated, scientific or rational in many ways. This era resurrected abiogenesis, witch burnings, and historical revisionism. Men who wore eyeglasses, which was a 13thc. innovation, could find no value in what preceded them. Blindness finds many forms. In the name of the 'Enlightenment' thousands of properties across Europe were torn down, treasures looted, stolen and defaced; priceless artifacts cut down; thousands killed and in the name of politics and hunger for money, sundry wars created.
The unenlightened Enlightenment gave us the following:
1-The free-will denying theologies of Luther and Calvin. No free will, no freedom, no markets, no civilization.
2-The promotion of predestination, meaning that nothing you do in this life matters. This moral rot has seeped deep into the foundations of civilization.
3-Rousseau, counter-rationalism, naturalism and the myth of the noble savage. This pagan theology that 'nature' in and of itself is superior, and that man is not the master but the slave of nature, is such childish nonsense and philosophical poison.
4-Anti-science theologies ranging from the Cult of Corona to Evolution and abiogenesis, to 'long ages of the earth', extra-terrestrial life forms and a resurgence in astrology and magic.
5-Phlogiston was declared to be the base element of the cell. It was disproven in 1774 by Lavoisier, but zealously promoted by 'scientists' during the 18th century.
6-In the 19th century, Darwin, who never performed a single experiment to support algae to human evolution; accepted, along with most 'scientists'; that the single cell was a simple globule akin to jelly.
7-The Enlightenment tore apart Europe and granted us the French Revolution and Napoleon, one of the greatest butchers and worst autocrats in history, whose bloody career killed millions, destroyed wealth and property and held back European development by at least 2 generations. The state was uber alles. The wise dictator an Enlightenment hero. See Fredrick the 'Great'.
8-Marxism, Darwinism, Socialism, Communism, Nazism, and theological philosophies supporting the same including Hitler, Lenin, Heidigger and the Frankfurt post-modern schools of the 1930s and 40s [cultural Marxism which is so rampant today]. All of these 'dialectical' theologies are irrational and immoral but were sold based on their 'science'.
9-Atheism, a theology of the unscientific and immoral which in the guise of Nazism and Communism murdered 150 million people. Atheism is the defining religion of the Rona cult, and modern Statism.
10-Flat earth societies which never existed in the Middle Ages [no one from the time of Christ thought that the earth was flat]; appear in the 19th century all over the developing world. 'Science' was used to prove [via sight lines usually along 'flat' bodies of water]; that the earth's curvature was a fiction.
11-Historical rewriting and ignorance. Voltaire and friends could not explain the engineering masterpieces named 'Gothic Cathedrals' for example, nor did they know much if anything about what predated them.
Of course, in today's perverted, distorted world if you criticize the Un-Enlightenment era, you are 'anti-rational'. As usual with these people the opposite of what they state is the truth. Yes, one can highlight achievements – sundry and many – during the era 1650 to 1850. But they have precious little to do with 'Enlightenment thought', and more to do with individuals creating, innovating and getting on with life. One can say with historical veracity, that the achievements from 1650 to 1850 were smaller in comparison to what preceded that era; and were accomplished in spite of notable declines in culture and reason, through wide areas of society including medicine, science and philosophy.
Formerly free, democratic and accountable Western States are now little more than Nazifying Totalitarian monstrosities. All of the ‘conspiracy’ theories around the Corona Scam-demic are now proven, or soon to be proven true. The latest is the 2 court rulings in the EU and the failure within the US of the PCR test method to identify the SARS II virus. This is why the ‘flu disappeared’, and based on these false Corona positives, used as a pretext, societies were locked-down, people died from no hospital access, suicides mounted, small businesses were destroyed, families ripped apart, the Church effectively eviscerated and free-speech destroyed.
We can see in the former Dominion of Canada an outright assault by atheists, Communists and other religious acolytes of State-Fascism against the Church. The Churches themselves, in goosestep with the Fascist State, are threatening to 'limit' or even defrock unstabbed Priests. Given the 99.9% survival rate for this flu, this policy is not based on science, but on State-enforced compliance, tied to government funding and tax write-offs. The more the State intervenes in the Church, the weaker, less Christian, and less attended it is. Recently, 45 churches or so were burnt in Canada over a Fake News 'genocide' narrative in which Church schools murdered thousands of native children. The story is entirely false, with the children sent to the Church schools by the government not the Church, many died from diseases and buried in graves, some due to native sensibilities without headstones. The children were not murdered and eaten by Nuns and Priests. There is of course, no apologies from the Fake News or the State, for instigating the Church arsons, and the resulting Christianophobia, with some of the more Fascistic calling for the demolition of all the Churches. Imagine if Mosques were under a similar threat.
The reality of life is this: you can hate Christians all you want. There is one immutable fact to expound. When Christianity goes, it all goes. If you Fascistically take down the Churches, the rest is going to follow: your society, your welfare, your culture, your spiritual strength, your science, your industry, all consumed into the State. Everything. The tragedy is that now instead of the great John Paul II leading the Catholic Church, we have a Globalist-Corona Fascism supporting halfwit, Pope Francis. Instead of invoking St. Thomas Aquinas and natural law rights, we have a senescent puppet espousing plant food-causes climate-theology and demanding that his flock be stabbed with experimental poisons which have killed and injured millions worldwide, all in the rush to a police state. Instead of defending our natural God-given rights to freedom and the control over our own bodies, we have a corrupt, criminal Vatican enjoining the faithful to surrender reason, real science and their bodies to a cabal of evil not seen since the apogee of the Soviet Union and Nazism. No science, none, supports the Corona narrative. It is all a fiction. If the Church wants to support real science, it should be leading the opposition to the Corona Fascism.
History is clear what happens when Fascism is implemented, and we can see the same road-map being followed in many countries.
One of the first actions of the Atheist-Evolution supporting Nazis was to take over, neuter, control and then begin the liquidation of the Churches. By 1937 the Protestant Churches had been folded into the Reich Church, the seminaries were emptied, priests/bishops jailed and killed, sermons monitored, Christian newspapers and book publishing shut down and the only thing that saved the CC from being completely demolished was Hitler's insistence that pulling down the Churches (physically destroying them in Bavaria as desired by Himmler) could wait until the war was won. He needed legions from Catholic areas of the country. 5 million Christians were killed in camps in WW2. No movies about this.
For information on the Nazi destruction of the Churches one should read, JS Conway The Nazi Persecution of the Churches who source material comes from the Nuremberg trials and confirms the plans from the Atheist Nazis and the deconstruction of both Church and civil society. The same was true of Communist Atheist Russia, Darwinist Russia. More than 10.000 Churches pulled down, and millions of Christians murdered.
How long before the same actions are enacted in ‘Western Democracies’, as part of the 'Health and Safety' Fascism? The Age of the Un-Enlightened. The Age of the Orc.
Henri Pirenne aptly describes the contraction of Western Mediterranean trade with the Christian Byzantium empire and beyond, due the Muhammandan invasions of the 7th century. Ports were emptied, urban life was circumscribed, raw materials began to vanish, gold circulation dropped, papyrus disappeared, and Western Europe become a collection of localities and long-distance trade almost vanished. This is simply common sense, when one views the Roman empire, as one centred around and dominated by the Mediterranean, now sliced in half and largely controlled by Muhammadan ships, pirates and armies. Rome sacked in 840, Genoa in 945, all the major islands and coast lines in the Tyrrhenian sea controlled by Muhammad’s cult.
The only part Islam had to play in helping establish modernity was as a trading zone stretching from Morocco to the borders of China – but one controlled by Muslims and one which discriminated against trade with Western Europe. Venice, an outpost of Byzantium grew wealthy from trade with the Christian and Muslim states to its east and south. But in the rest of Europe, until Genoa and Pisa, along with the Spanish Christian Reconquista during the 10th century, rolled back the Muhammadans, everywhere was contraction. There is no evidence that in any other realm be it in medicine, the arts, sciences, math, philosophy, economy or politics, Islam invented anything of value. All was known and developed by non-Muslims who simply squatted on far richer civilisations – ones weakened by a century of plague and war.
The oft-repeated lie – that Islam was a vital part of creating the modern world – is ridiculous. Islam's modern poverty in all matters secular and ecclesiastical has been apparent since the beginning of Arab imperialism. Arab culture created and spread Islamic doctrine. The Koran is the uber-tool of Arab imperialism. Is it not curious that Muslims must chant in Arabic when 80% don't speak the language? If that is not a bizarre form of imperialism than what is it? [or do you really believe that the moon cult deity spoke a minor language to an illiterate pagan Arab circa 615 A.D.?].
Islamic apologists including respected academics like Bernard Lewis who is portrayed as a crank and critic of Islam, always trot out the 'golden age' of Islamic brilliance between 900 A.D. and 1100 A.D. when Europe was in the 'dark' ages and European civilisation apparently lagged so far behind that of the conquering Arabs and Muslims. In this bizarre view, only the Arab-Muslim world was rich, wealthy, educated and on the path to 'inventing' modern medicine [wrong] and implementing the creation of the zero [a Hindu invention], as well engaging in rapturous and learned enterprises of literature, philosophy, astronomy, and resurrecting ancient Greek texts of all varieties on all subjects.
It sounds so romantic and just – handsome Bedouins in flowing robes with papyrus texts earnestly discussing Aristotle over mocha coffee in a Baghdad madrassa. Honest, caring Muslims, so accepting of all cultures, religions and ideas, intent on furthering the powers of civilisation. Peaceful Arabs striving to create modern science, modern economy, modern politics and the theorems that underpin the modern world. How sweet and how ridiculous.
Islam was created by the Arabs as a tool of imperialism. The Arabs conquered the Near East, North Africa, parts of Europe, the Sudan, southern Russia, Persia, and parts of India and beyond. The Arabs by design and luck conquered far richer empires and this wealth allowed the Muslim empire to survive and thrive. It was not something that the Arabs invented or did that created civilisation or wealth. It was what they took that made them rich, and it was how they used Infidels, Dhimmis (second class citizens) to further develop some areas of Spain (eg. Cordoba in a limited way), or the former Persian metropolis at Baghdad.
Byzantium, weakened by almost 100 years of plague (‘Justinian' plagues) which killed maybe 1/3 of its total population and the constant wars with Persia and 'barbarians' to the north, was still the richest and most cosmopolitan centre of civilisation in the world when the Arabs quickly defeated the emasculated and poorly led empire in Israel and Syria. Though the city of Constantinople held out until 1453, the richest areas of the Eastern Roman empire inexorably fell to the Arabs – including all the loot, assets and trade of the key region straddling modern day Anatolia, Lebanon, Syria and northern Iraq. Once shorn of its rich provinces the end for Byzantium was a matter of time and only staved off through great tenacity, military prowess and invention [including the use of Greek fire, a pre-modern flame thrower], and control over the Black sea trade routes.
The same is true of Persia, a much more advanced civilisation than anything the Arabs could imagine and a main conduit of east-west trade and commerce. Vast irrigation, canal works, engineering feats and imposing cities with running water dominated the Zoroastrian-Farsi culture. For 1500 years the Persians had believed in the teachings of Zoroaster a man with similar views to that of Christ, until the Arabs forcibly converted – on pain of death or higher taxes – the Farsi elite to Islam. It must have been bitter indeed for the Persians, once the conquerors of the Arabs and the world's super-power, to submit to Islamic imperialism.
The Jewish and Christian states were likewise far more civilised and modern than anything that the Arabs had ever seen. Straddling key trade routes these states showing precocious urban and engineering development, but were however, quite weak militarily and easy conquests for the Arabs. As with Persia, Jewish-Christian wealth flowed to the new Arab leadership and the Jews and Christians were either killed, taxed or deported [with their assets stolen by Arabs]. In any event by 900 A.D. the richest areas of the Near East and North Africa were in Arab hands. Such was the basis of the 'Islamic Golden Age'. In modern parlance we call it 'squatting'.
The Islamic and Muslim empire was of course hardly monolithic. It stretched across a wide area of the world. Arabs, Turks, Persians and others took leadership turns or established regional empires or sub-empires. Yet just because these states squatted on, and took advantage of pre-existing trade routes, urban centres, engineering development, and all manners of learning, does not make them 'enlightened' or advanced. Once the Arabs and their successors took over these lands what happened? What was developed and improved? What was invented? These are the key questions which are never answered.
The short answer is not much.
Science in the Muhammadan ‘Golden Age’ was premised only on translated texts of ancient Greek thinkers – translated it should be said by Nestorian Christians and Jews. No independent empirical deduction existed in Islam. Roger Bacon and others, during the supposed 'Dark Ages' of Europe in the 13th century, invented the scientific method, much of it premised on socio-cultural developments starting in the 11th century. No improvement was thus made on the ideas and 'laws' of the ancient Greeks by the Muslims, nor did they advance rational inquiry which is the premise of scientific discovery. Pythagoras, Euclid, Archimedes and others who existed 1300 years before the Golden Age of Islam, were I do recall, Greek mathematicians and experimenters. Christian scientists - not Muslim - embarked on the investigations which led to the rational revolution and modern science.
The Muslims were inferior to the Greeks in geometry, calculus, the basic sciences, engineering [the Greeks were building domes and advanced arches that the Arabs could never replicate], philosophy, history [see Herodotus], and agriculture. They were also inferior to the Hindus in algebra where the zero became a revolutionary and entirely Hindu creation. As well the Muslims were far less advanced less the Zoroastrian Persians in matters of urban and irrigation technology including the building of canals, irrigation systems and even roads.
So, in essence what was this mythical Muslim golden age? It appears likely that the main Muslim commitment to helping develop the modern world was three-fold. First, they incorporated the learning, techniques and advances of the more sophisticated empires which they conquered. This amalgam of various influences can be seen in the development of Islamic society over the period 800-1400 A.D. Second, they helped spread knowledge, abetted by the Greek and Jewish translations of once forgotten Greek inventions and ideas. Lastly, they provided the means of trade between east and west which facilitated the exchange of everything from products to new military technology.
This then is about the sum of the Arabic-Islamic 'Golden Age'. One should also note this. The 'Dark Ages' in Europe were not that dark. They are called the dark ages because of the lack of information and description about society at that time. Yet inventions aplenty populated Europe during the rise of the Islamic empire. Agricultural techniques, harnesses, new military technologies, medicine, urbanisation and the rise of the burgess or merchant bourgeois, the building of roads and canals, all this and more dominated the so-called 'Middle Ages'.
The Europeans took a thickly forested, difficult, and rough land and turned it, over a painfully long period, into the centre of world civilisation. They were also able to equip and send out vast expeditions of men to the Holy Land, in a series of crusades designed to reclaim historical Christendom from the Turk, as well as roll back the Islamic invasion of Europe. Such a feat of logistics resulting in a 200-year occupation of the Holy Land would not characterise a poor and muddled civilisation. The Europeans learnt a lot from the Crusades about commerce, trade, building and military techniques. The Muslims, never interested in kaffirs, learnt a lot less. The decline of Islam was thus assured.
The Muslims and Arabs never advanced civilisation. They were content to squat and let the 'dhimmis' in their midst engage in building modern commerce; conduct inquiries and invent and create. The Koran as tool of power might be effective in making people submit and stay submissive. It is a tool of fascist-pagan oppression, designed to keep the masses ignorant and the wealthy powerful. Melding church and state, not allowing inquiry or risk [for instance disallowing biopsy or commercial interest], disavowing individuality, not creating institutions of law, politics and free expression – these defects and more reflect the anti-modern program of Arab imperialism.
Since these factors were in play 1000 years ago, how could there ever have been a Muslim 'Golden Age'? How does one explain this beautiful time of 300 million dead, due to racist and supremacist ideals? Even the divided and far less populated Christian states of Europe, never united against Islam, and in fact at times allied with it in their various internal wars, were in the case of France, England or Northern Italy more than a match for the entire Islamic world by 1300 A.D. Why was this?
The reasons should be obvious. Never forget that Islam was spread by the sword. Conversions were forced or taken by people to avoid the dhimmi [apartheid] tax and social repercussions and oppression of being a 'kaffir' [Arab word originally denoting a black slave]. In this vein Islam for many centuries was concerned with power and with military force. The men involved were originally pagan, and much preoccupied with original lusts – money, land, and women. Higher culture was an afterthought. Creating the modern world was a non-issue since the Koran ruled.
Islam is the ultimate pagan cult. Submission, rituals, chanting, and non-thinking obedience, encased in an apartheid society, is the goal of Islam.
There was no 'Golden Age' of Islam. If you think there was, then try this exercise – list all the Islamic inventions that created the modern world. The paper will be blank.
The Enlightenment epoch, or rather the many different streams of Enlightenment thought, which rather facetiously applauded itself as being in the ‘light of reason’, when in fact many of the doctrines, were dark, dreary, deluded, irrational and tyrannical, occupied the more philosophically minded for about 2 centuries, from 1650-1850. One of the birth defects of this period is of course the French Revolution, which was generated by the philosophes and their ‘enlightened’ ideals, it led ineluctably to death, war, totalitarianism and the general effacement of religious belief, now found in today’s various cults named Humanism, Rationalism, Deism, and Atheism. Whilst one can make an argument for some good which emanated from the Enlightenment, there is no doubt that the balance sheet of liability including Darwinism, Socialism, Communism, and now Medical Fascism, and Gaia Greenism, has generated a tidal wave of misery, dislocation, death and anti-science. Rarely if ever is a voice or a critique raised against the ‘Enlightenment’.
Rather perversely, the Catholic Church’s ‘reformation’ and reform minded programs preceded and anticipated the secular-Atheist movement of reform, which sought to separate church from state, religion from science, the material from the immaterial, and render the faith and doctrines of religion, subservient to the state and its interpretation of materialist science, now proclaimed as the ‘one’ and ‘only’ science.
Lehner’s book is a good overview of this global program, and he seems to approve of most of the agenda of ‘liberal reform’ leading to the ‘reforms’ of the Second Vatican Council from 1962-65, in which many of the keystones of Church policy and belief were changed or discarded, in order to conform to the pressures of a secular, irreligious society. Though careful not to condemn traditionalism, Lehner and many modern Catholics seem to be impressed by, and desire to show their cult adherence to, ‘reason’, though few if any define the word, or can coherently explain what reason might be, or why there is only one ‘reasonable’ set of rational beliefs.
The fact that Catholic Enlighteners predate the secular philosophes would surprise most people. The truncation of the Church post the Protesting-revolution and civil war initiated by Lutheranism, demanded a response. For much of the 16th century the Church was engaged in an almost endless quest to understand the split, rectify it, create and initiate various transformations including ending simony (buying of a parish, or bishopric), priestly education, communication of standard canon laws, ending corruption, turning the Church away from mysticism back to practicality, and of course defending Catholic territory from the Protestants and Musulmans. Art, science, building and welfare agencies supporting the general society became key foci as the Church sought a new relationship with the laity and endeavoured to defend and expand the Church within and outside Europe.
During the 16th and 17th centuries, as Lehner explains, Catholic Enlighteners developed plans for the improvement of the individual, humans, the church and the state. All of these predate the secular-Atheist-Humanist philosophers. Such far reaching plans were not always equal to the problems they hoped to address, examples being ‘taming capitalism’, promoting economic fairness, or introducing a fair wage for labourers and craft-workers. The Catholic Enlighteners were the first to propound and disavow religious zealotry, superstition, and prejudice against non-Catholics, which in their view, limited reason, and clarity. These ideals were the foundations of the secular Enlightenment, yet they were formed by Catholics, who worked with the secular state to redress what they perceived to be imbalances within the church and society. Far from being opposed to the state, the Church actively engaged it.
Until 1789 the Catholic Enlighteners were on the rise. After the French Revolution and its all-out, totalitarian attack on Christianity, the Churches, faith and innocent laity, with at least a hundred thousand Catholic peasants alone murdered in La Vendee, there was little hope in reconciling a Church of Reason based on Atheism, with Catholic doctrine. The French Revolution threw up a new Godhead, a new Church it called ‘reason’ based on materialism, rejecting 1400 years of Catholic heritage and legacy. The Church of reason sought the complete abolition of Christianity. It still does today.
Not only was the Catholic Church emasculated and eviscerated in France. It was assailed wherever French armies murdered and marauded. When Napoleon occupied the Rhineland, the various German princes dissolved the monasteries and stole their assets and wealth. As the Napoleonic totalitarianism rolled across Europe, Catholic schools, institutes and even Churches were closed or taken over by the state. Charity organisations, newspapers, printing firms, were taken over or shuttered by the state. Pope Pius VI died a prisoner of Napoleon in 1799. The entire construct of religiosity and organisation was assaulted by the ‘Enlightenment’ Church of ‘Reason’, forcing an obvious response from traditional Catholics, namely the rejection of this secular-Atheist program and its ideals.
Post the French Revolution and quite rationally, Catholic Enlighteners became viewed as a heretical cancer, part of the enemy’s forces of secular evil, an insidious collection of those opposed to the Church itself and its long history of rational thought including the creation of early modern science, education, universities, and naturalism. Those opposed to the secularisation of the Church, promoted a Catholic Romanticism in the 19th century, linking the faith back to medieval scholasticism.
This important movement, itself little understood and ignored by modern historians, made serious and important contributions in art, philosophy and science. It opposed the largely secular ‘rational’ primacy of the Catholic Enlighteners whose agenda resurfaced in the early 20th century with the rise of the ‘modernists’ who posed difficult questions about the Church and modernity, and again of course during the second Vatican council of 1962-65 in which much of the vestiges of the Romantic and traditional Church was replaced by a new conformity to the modern.
The Catholic Enlightenment finds its expression in the philosophies of the current Pope and the Vatican. It is quite absurd, when one peruses the current doctrines of both, that this program is shining a ‘light’ onto human affairs. Given the current acceleration toward some form of totalitarian fascism, premised on a minor flu disease, the opposite conclusion is apposite.
The ‘Enlightenment’ which replaced a culture of reason and faith working together, in an effort to understand the world of the 5 senses, the material and immaterial, was a reductionist program where only the material mattered. The idol of materialism became God, and everything was refracted through this idol worship to permeate all aspects of society. Dogma replaced science. The religious canons of evolution, long ages, abiogenesis, plant food causes climate, or the need to inject experimental poisons into humans to counter a 99.9% survival rate flu; all find their genesis, their old testament books, in the ‘Enlightenment’.
To further the fraudulent claim of ‘Enlightenment’ displacing a medieval darkness, the Enlighteners were never honest enough to even give credit to medieval institutions or the Church, for their ‘progressive’ ideals. Indeed, many ‘ideas’ and beliefs from the Enlighteners are purloined from the Catholic Church. As Ulrich states:
“Yet a closer look at history reveals the many progressive reforms within the Catholic Church predate even the Enlightenment. Some of the most cherished values of modernity can be traced to the pre-Enlightenment Catholic Reform that began in the sixteenth century. The rejection of arranged marriages originated in the Catholic Reform movement, as did prohibitions against domestic abuse, criticism of the denigration of women, and also the protection of the indigenous tribes of South and Middle America, and much else.”
As Ulrich outlines the Catholic Reform or Enlightenment movement, predates the secular-Atheist-Deist Enlightenment movement by some 100 years at least. The Protestant revolution and nationalism which it promoted, lead to the division of Europe and the crumbling of the unitary Catholic culture which had formed the basis for the Continent’s prosperity and eventual world-domination. To counter the Protestant heresy the Catholic leadership responded with a long conclave held in the city of Trent Italy, which lasted from 1545 to 1563. Many reforms issued forth, including the requirement that Priests be educated, the codification of the Catholic canon and beliefs, the stress on human freedom, the optimistic view that humans through free will and could accept or reject God’s grace and could even perform good deeds without faith or divine guidance. These and other doctrines emanating from the Council of Trent, were the foundations of the later Enlightenment obsession about human freedom and individuality. Indeed, natural law rights and human free will finds great expression in the works of St. Thomas Aquinas, in the 13th century. The Council of Trent was carrying on a very long tradition of reform and elevation of human rights and free-will.
This council also generated energy and initiative. Reforms throughout the church including schools, the parishes, all of the various appenages of Church management were undertaken. Investment in art exploded and all of the artistic areas flourished in the cataract of genius called the ‘Baroque’, which forever changed Western art and gave the world some of the greatest paintings, sculptures, literary works, and edifices in history. Also, as Ulrich recounts, the Council of Trent led to the formation of new, energetic, orthodox and pious religious orders, which changed society on a global scale. The Jesuits for example under the leadership of St. Ignatius de Loyola are born in this era.
“…it also encouraged new orders centred on particular missions. These orders increased exponentially the works of mercy administered by the church. Some began caring for abandoned children and orphans, others for the sick and mentally ill; et others provided education. This trend toward more practicality is also obvious in the new definition of sainthood that became prevalent after Trent. It was the heroic virtues of the candidate for sainthood that now mattered and not whether he or she had performed miracles, or had visions, or suffered stigmata. This idea of Christian heroism stressed, furthermore, that everyone was called to holiness. The saints again became the role models for the laity, as they originally had been, and the universal call to holiness, especially emphasised by Francis de Sales, was increasingly preached, even though this was not defined as explicit church teaching until the twentieth century.”
The above is remarkable. Here we have the firm rooting in reality of Church theology and activity. The modern welfare state is little more than an imitation of the medieval and early modern Church apparatus which engaged every part of society. The mysticism of the Middle Ages is now replaced by the sweaty, dirty, grimy work demanded by God and theology, in the world of the 5 senses. One can see this in the Baroque art of the era, by masters such as Caravaggio or El Greco who attempt to depict religiously motivated messages within the context of everyday life. This is not to suggest that the medieval era did not have the practical application of God’s work as a priority. Christians after all invented hospitals, orphanages, poor relief, public schools, universities and a thousand other inventions that benefitted society, including capital markets and credit. But the shift in attitude was noticeable and the focus was to relate real life back to doctrine.
This shift in rational emphasis comported with the works of early Enlighteners such as Kant who postulated that God existed because morality needed to exist if society was to be a civilised undertaking. Atheism was thus refuted. It also hasted the creation of natural science institutions, built on the medieval legacy of the university, in which for example, the first school in the world for experimental physics was developed by Benedictines in Salzburg Austria in 1740. Catholic lecturers discussed hydrostatics, electricity, mechanics, pneumatics, and optics. Heliocentricity was developed by the Catholic Copernicus, whose theories were mathematically supported by the Protestant Kepler was commonly accepted and espoused. By the 1750s the Catholic Churches reformation program had firmly aligned its theology with natural laws and natural science.
The Hadith are authoritative and any sentient Moslem who actually reads about his own cult and its dogma, and who can struggle through the mountainous volumes of the Hadith; should be alarmed that Sharia Law is premised largely on these works coupled with the Koran. In fact, Moslem 'scholars', or cult propagandists as they should be named, believe that the Hadith are as divinely inspired as the Koran and are therefore legitimate as sources of 'law'.
Considering that the most authoritative Hadith was compiled by Bukhari more than 200 years after the totalitarian Muhammad's death, this must surely strike the rational observer as somewhat perplexing. Bukhari was simply a scribe, not a prophet, not a healer, not a man of spiritual faith, but a Moslem apologist who compiled some 7000 verses to try and explain the inexplicably bad Koran. There is no evidence that he or the Hadith are 'divinely inspired'.
In any event the Hadith give Islam a very bad name. A certain Moslem 'scholar', a Dr. Muhammad Hamidullah, in his book, 'Introduction to Islam', states that 'the custodian and repository of the original teachings of Islam' are found 'above all in the Quran and the Hadith' (p. 250). He adds that 'the Quran and the Hadith' are 'the basis of all [Islamic] law' (p. 163).
Another Moslem apologist and respected as a 'thinker' on Islam, one Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan wrote an encyclical entitled, 'The Translation of the Meaning of Sahih Al-Bukhari' and he confirms the following:
-The Quran and the Hadith are both based on divine inspiration' (p. 23).
-[Allah] revealed to him [Bukhari] the Glorious Quran and the Second Inspiration, i.e., his Traditions.
-It is incumbent upon you to strive hard to do righteous deeds according to the traditions of Muhammad as is clearly expressed in his Hadith (p. Xvii).
Khan believes that Moslems must obey the Koran and Hadith to the letter and 'strive' to spread Islam by any way possible. In this line of 'thought' the Koran and Hadith are portrayed as divinely written and this is confirmed in Bukhari, in Hadith no. 643, vol. 9.
However, the real history of the Koran reveals that there are many Korans, many pre-Muhammadan phrases and writings which are in the Koran; and that the Koran itself was written long after Muhammad's death in the Arabic dialect of the Quraish and that even today there are 4 known versions of the Koran. As a matter of record, Bukhari's Hadith confirm that the Koran was put together by the Caliph Uthman after Muhammad died. The fact that the Quran is missing certain verses and that other verses were abrogated is admitted in the Hadith in vol. 4, nos. 57, 62, 69, 299; vol. 6, nos. 510, 511.
There is a couple of points to be made about the Hadith. First is that they espouse Jihad and violence against Infidels. Second, they were written 200 years post the Jihad's founder's death and are hardly liable to be accurate or true. Third, they reinforce the fraudulent nature of the Koran, being written by humans, and are full of mistakes, and rather incoherent. Fourth, they do not contain a spiritual-ethical program which is universal or immanent. It is a dichotomous cult. Be nice to Moslems. Convert, kill or dominate the rest.
