Western Civilisation

Until the advent of materialism and 19th c. dogma, Western Civilisation was  superior to anything Islam had developed.  Islam has not aided in the development of the modern world; in fact civilisation has only been created in spite of Islam.  Proof of this resides in the 'modern' world and the unending political-economic and spiritual poverty of Muslim states and regions.  Squatting on richer civilisations is not 'progress'.  Islam is pagan, totalitarian, and irrational.

In praise of the Monks, the creators of modern Europe

Mentioned in 'A Short History of Medieval Europe" by Oliver Thatcher

Without Christianity the German takeover of the decrepit, irrelevant, despotic and bankrupted Western Roman Empire, would have resulted in a permanent destruction of civilization. We owe nothing to Islam for civilization, medieval Europe having to endure and somehow survive the endless moon cult Jihad which would have effaced all progress, as much as it did everywhere the green and black flags of Islam are raised. The myth of the Islamic golden age, is seemingly only held by politicians and academics.


It was the Church which swept up the pieces of Greco-Roman culture and merged them into the Christian. Out of this synthesis, epitomized in the writings of various Christian sages such as Augustine [who Christianizes Plato]; or Aquinas [who Christianizes Aristotle]; we see civilization advance forward. There is no corollary within Islam, which accepted either Koranic supremacism [the merger of church and state]; or ancient Greek philosophy in-toto, essentially unchanged [Averroes, Avicenna].


Thatcher's book is in the main a very good one about the Medieval era. The exception being the usual academic homage to the non-existent, or at the very least, the grotesquely exaggerated Moslem 'golden age'. The usual exotic and quite purblind Oriental attractions suffuse Thatcher's mythical account of Islam. Nary a word about Jihad, rape, sex slavery, the destruction of 30.000 churches, the endless pirating, raiding or intolerance toward Jews and Christians. There is a chapter – apocryphal – about Muhammad and Islam. Just skip it, lest it infect your common sense.


Thatcher does not know much about Islam. Kindi for example who was not a scientist [as declared by Islamophiles], scorned the Meccan moon cult, and his tepid observations and critique of the Koran made his works harem, or forbidden for Moslems to read. So much for free will and inquiry, the linchpins of reason and progress. Fascisms do not create, they destroy.


Beyond that, the book is of interest. He does know a lot about medieval Europe. One area that he emphasizes which is clearly of import to anyone who wonders 'how did Europe advance so quickly, and so far', is his description of the utility of monasteries, the religious orders and the base fact, that they not only saved the world from barbarism, but created much in the way of secular technology, including practical industry and agriculture, education and hospitals and medicine. Homeopathy for example was a medieval monkish creation, long before the current modern fad of using natural ingredients.


Thatcher:

Monasticism furnished the missionaries who Christianized western and northern Europe. The monks were also the civilizers. Every monastery founded by them became a centre of life and learning, and hence a light to the surrounding country. They cleared the lands and brought them under cultivation. They were the farmers and taught by their example the dignity of labor in an age when the soldier was the world’s hero. They preserved and transmitted much of the civilization of Rome to the Barbarians. They were the teachers of the west. Literature and learning found a refuge with them in times of violence.


There are no monks within Islam. There are no centers of work, culture, learning, education and care for the sick. There is no separation within the Meccan moon cult, of the church and state. There are no religious orders dedicated to work, worship, helping others and self-denial. None. Thatcher:


Their monasteries were the hotels of the Middle Age and they cared for the poor and the sick. They were the greatest builders of the Middle Age, many of the great churches of Europe being their work. Monasticism was an excellent thing for the world in those days. It was fitted to do a great work.


Quite true.


Monasticism radiated out from the British Isles, and in particular Ireland and Saxon England to cover the Continent. Pope Gregory the Great's signal contribution to the Western world was the conversion in the early 6th century of the Anglo-Saxons to the Roman Church. Ireland, converted by St. Patrick and others in the 5th century was also firmly in the vanguard of the faith. It fell to the Irish and English monks to re-colonize the Continent with their faith and works.


Monasticism soon gained a reputation for learning, labor, intelligence, honesty and charity, in a violent age, full of civil and secular strife. The rich placed their sons into the care of the monks, along with land and money. The movement spread, the centers grew and their influence was a prime reason why Europe by 1000 AD was on the path to world mastery.


Sura 25 and the 'Criterion' to please the Allah moon deity and mad Moh.

Complete slavery.

Bookmark and Share

Islam or Submission, like all Fascisms, merges church and state, or in the case of the Meccan moon cult, pagan barbarism with political control. If you have read Hammurabi's 1750 BC codex on Bronze age 'laws', you will see more than faint echoes of the same in Muhammad's Mein Koran, which was put together in its incoherent and execrable form some 2600 years after the Babylonian effort. Who said the Bronze ended ? It lives on in der cult namens Islam.


Sura 25 is named 'Criterion'. The main purpose is to Hammurabify Mad Muhammad and link him directly and personally to the Meccan moon deity or Al-Lah, Baal. Baal is of course a Babylonian invention of celestial worship. A secondary objective in 'Criterion' is to allow, through the grace of the moon deity, all violence imaginable against those who oppose Muhammad and by extension, his Lordship or Al Lah. In fact this chapter clearly outlines why Moslems must conquer the world to appease mad Muhammad and his moon friend.


And We commanded: “You both go, to the people who have rejected our Signs:” and those (people) We destroyed with utter destruction.” [25:36].


All signs – including natural phenomenon – come from Allah. Reject any of them and you reject nature, life and creation itself. You therefore must die.


In this intolerant vein, Christians who are polytheists in Koranic hate speech, Jews and other non-Moslems or Infidels [a word which is intended to degrade the human to a form akin to pigs or dogs], will simply be eradicated by the 'righteous' and Sharia following believers in Mein Koran.

Thus they (false gods all deities other than Allah) will give you (polytheists) the lie regarding what you say (that they are gods besides Allah), then you can neither avert (the punishment), nor get help. And whoever among you does wrong (i.e. sets up rivals to Allah), We shall make him taste a great torment.

Say (O Muhammad SAW to the disbelievers): "My Lord pays attention to you only because of your invocation to Him. But now you have indeed denied (Him). So the torment will be yours for ever (inseparable permanent punishment)."


The above are clear. Moslems are supreme [25:26], Christians worship false idols and will be punished in this life and the next [25:19]; any who do not follow Moh's cult will be annihilated in this life and the next [25:34, 77].


There are no mistranslations. Mein Koran is simply Mein Koran. Supremacist, absurd, incoherent, illogical, illiterate, fascistic and violent. No wonder Islam has 'bloody borders' and 1400 years of endless warring, Jihad, slavery, misogyny, and hate to its credit.


From Augustine to Anselm, logic and faith working together

There is no conflict whatsoever between faith and reason.

Bookmark and Share


Anselm's and his import on European thinking and philosophy was built upon from the efforts of many who both previously and contemporaneously, developed a rational exploration theology, including curricula taught at Universities – another medieval European invention. Anselm in the 11th century and Peter Lombard in the 12th are examples of the inquiring mind using reason to achieve faith; or using reason to amend faith.


There never has been, and never will be, a conflict between true faith [as opposed to a cult]; and reason. Atheist cults such as Nazism [socialist, evolutionist]; Communism [socialist, evolutionist], or Fascism [ibid, ibid]; deny reason. They are cults not of faith, but obedience, intolerance, hate and irrationality. Islam, a barbaric bronze age centric cult merging the spiritual into the political, is likewise similar in design and output to other fascistic philosophies. There is no reason within Mein Koran.  Christianity is suffused with logic and reason.  


St. Augustine the ne'er do well, turned Saint and Catholic philosopher of the highest caliber, published many works which could be summarized as 'understanding through faith'. The City of God, was of a different plane of existence than the City of Man. By having faith, the Augustinians would argue, you have an opportunity to engage in true reason and logic. Anselm approaches the issue of faith differently. He does not assume God exists, he first sets out to prove it, with an ontological statement. This logic is clear, and though non-believers will never be convinced by it, there is no sound logical argument against it.


In essence Anselm attempted to show that the doctrine of God belief is eminently rational. It certainly appears more reasonable than the naturalist who sees order arising out of chaos [it never does] or that chance, or processes which offend basic laws of physics and bio-chemistry, somehow created all the vast complexities of life on Earth [chance and time mean nothing, a cat will always be a cat].


Anselm uses logic to defend the incarnation and the atonement in his work "Cur Deus Homo ?" [Why God became man]. The book is a rational approach to the natures of Christ [man and God], his birth, his death and resurrection and why it all happened. There is no fundamental 'sola scriptura' one sees later from the Protestants. Anselm uses the Bible, but not as the 'answer', he uses scripture as part of the process of analysis and logic, to examine the proof, or reasonableness, that God became man.


Anselm's approach back in the 11th century, whilst not strictly confined to himself, defined an important movement within Christendom. He was a man of faith, an Archbishop of Canterbury, a man of substance, power and influence. Yet he uses not power, scolding, or thumping of text to win people over, but quiet logic. He demonstrates an assurance and a complete confidence, that through reasoned discussion one can prove; "that all things we believe concerning Christ must necessarily take place."


Most importantly Anselm presents a positive, engaging approach, in using reason to support  faith, and using faith to better understand our reason.


Medieval Ontology, logic and Anselm

Much clearer than today's so-called world of science.

The Dark Ages never existed. It is an oft stated myth. The real darkness lies in our rather thin knowledge of the era from 500-1000. This is not due to the fact that the post-Roman world, was barbaric or illiterate. Thousands of tonnes of written documents, including some of the finest literature in history, come from this period. Beowulf, Bede's History of the English, Roland's Song, the Lindisfarne Gospels, the Book of Kells and much more, emanate and radiate, from this period. The 'darkness' of this period was in the wars, the Vikings, the Moslems, the Avars, the Turkish tribes [Huns, Magyars], the violence, the lack of accountability and at times justice, the Roman ideal that might makes right and power rules; this made the age one of combustion and upheaval. Without the Church the post Roman European world would have been anarchic and in the face of Islam, quite dead.


Another oft stated myth is that early Medieval man never reasoned or ratonalized. Considering that modern mathematics, science, physics and astronomy come directly out of this era, this claim has no merit. Galileo purloined most of his ideas from those who came before and sphericity was written about and accepted by Boethius, Alcuin and Pope Sylvester II amongst others. No one believed in a flat earth, any more than they believed there was life on the moon [the word lunatic comes from this 19th century belief].


Another myth is that there was no debate on or about 'God'. There was plenty of discourse on everything to do with Christ, the Holy Spirit and God. Everything was hashed out oftentimes in quite public displays. The myth that toothless, self flagellating medievals spent their time pondering how many angels danced on the head of a pin, is pernicious propaganda. There is not one single real world reference or example of any medieval scholar or church figure, obsessing with dancing angels on pin heads. Not a one. The propaganda alludes to the extraordinary examination the entire Christian faith went through during the medieval era. Everything was hammered out from the resurrection and transubstantiation, to the nature of man and his world. Nothing was left unexamined. Angels don't dance on pin heads, but pin heads will make sarcastic propaganda, justifying their own cult or their own liturgical beliefs.


God was criticized and debated. Not only the nature of God, or a creator, but if it such a being or force existed at all. From this debate, we see the formation of much of modern thought around facts, cause and effect explanations, sound argumentation and demands for proof, not just faith.


The medieval mind, in an era of secular violence, pagan Moslems, Islamic slave trading, misery, poverty and famine, the destruction of Christianity by Moslems from Arabia to France, needed proof of God's existence. The claims of the early Church fathers and St. Augustine whilst powerful and relevant, had grown weary and tired in their long journey from the early days of the Church towards the year 1000. Many questioned how and why God would exist. The myth of the unthinking medieval mind is as erroneous as the myth that modern minds are so clever and advanced.


A reorientation and rejuvenation in thinking started in the 11th century. It began with Saint Anselm (1033-1109), Archbishop of Canterbury in England who proved with cold logic, that God must exist. It is now called an 'Ontological argument'. Anselm's logical dissertation did not, and never will convince a non-believer. It was formulated entirely for a Catholic audience whose faith may be wavering. Importantly he never appeals to the Bible. He simply uses logical induction and reaches a conclusion that God must exist.


His argument is the following:

  1. God is that than which no greater can be conceived.

  2. If God is that than which no greater can be conceived then there is nothing greater than God that can be imagined. Therefore:

  3. There is nothing greater than God that can be imagined.

  4. If God does not exist then there is something greater than God that can be imagined.
    Therefore:

  5. God exists.


The first premise of this argument, (1), is Anselm’s conception of God. (2) is a simple logical truth; if God is the greatest conceivable being then there is no greater conceivable being. (3) follows simply from (1) and (2).


Anselm argues in support of (4) by comparing a non-existent God with an existent God. An existent God, says Anselm, is greater than a non-existent God. If God were non-existent, therefore, then we could imagine a God greater than he, namely an existent God.


(5) follows simply from (3) and (4).”


The logic is clear and sensible. There is no rational objection to it.


Anselm had thus started a movement in medieval universities to use logic first to understand the world. It was only in Christian Europe that universities arose. These places injected free will and debate into society and rejected unreasonable argumentation. It was not the sola scriptura of the Protestants, a blind faith that by 'believing', or in the case of most Protestants, pretending to believe, you are thus saved. Anselm and others developed a logical system based on Aristotle’s works and our own terms used today in logic, are all derived from this medieval innovation, in order to support and justify faith. These medieval philosophers were either nominalists (the name of an object refers the object and no more) or realists (where the name of the object refers to the properties of the object rather than just the object itself).


These two groups fought over the nature of reality, and the use of words to describe that reality and the objects, or subjects within it. It was an important debate and not arcane. It cuts to the heart of reality. Is the world real? What is the purpose of life ? Why are there 2 million flora and fauna ? How do we describe them ? In many ways the same debate rages today in for example 'genders' [what is a boy?], 'orientations' [56?], 'science' [what is science, what is metaphysics and story telling?], words in general [do any words have a valid meaning ?], and even reality [are there many realities and parallel universes ?]. Not much has changed in 1000 years, except human judgment seems to be far more clouded and opaque and less rooted in reality.


Sura 24; Cover up the women, deny free-will, follow mad Muhammad

Mein Koran says so.

Bookmark and Share

The chapter is called 'The Light' because “For any to whom Allah does not give light, there is no light!” [24:40]. This is pre-destination – in Lutheran-Protestant Christianity it is a medieval relic of fundamentalist intolerance from men such as Luther or Calvin, who believed that you do not need good works or deeds to be 'saved', but that you are 'predestined' and must simply follow sola scriptura, or the literal words contained in the Holy Bible. Protestantism at its base, is thus as corroded and deformed as Islam and such pre-medieval strictures still dominate Islam today.  Thus being a Moslem, in and of itself, ensures a salvific journey and a superiority in this life and the next. It leads to violence and hatred of the Infidel.


Nur or light is the path of Allah. He 'guides who he wills'. This is clearly pre-destination negating free-will. If you disbelieve you are in the darkness of a great sea – lost:


024:040

Or [the state of a disbeliever] is like the darkness in a vast deep sea, overwhelmed with a great wave topped by a great wave, topped by dark clouds, darkness, one above another, if a man stretches out his hand, he can hardly see it!And he for whom Allah has not appointed light, for him there is no light.


Allah will decide who can or cannot see his 'Light' or the light of 'his' shining path. It is at odds with humanism, free will and responsibility. All cults are based in part on such 'supernatural' powers to decide who is chosen and who is condemned. Only the God[s] shall decide who is a part of the superior caste.


Islam negates free-will, thinking, and rationality. The above explanation proves why the scripture of Mein Koran will lead Moslems to the opposite path of what creates civilization.


Sura 24 is also where one finds the Koranic commandment to women to cover up:


024:031
* 
URL

And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts, etc.) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent (like palms of hands or one eye or both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer dress like veil, gloves, head-cover, apron, etc.), and to draw their veils all over Juyubihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms, etc.) and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband's fathers, their sons, their husband's sons, their brothers or their brother's sons, or their sister's sons, or their (Muslim) women (i.e. their sisters in Islam), or the (female) slaves whom their right hands possess, or old male servants who lack vigour, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And all of you beg Allah to forgive you all...


Moslem women are slaves to their men. Polygamy makes this an obvious fact. Moslem males cannot control themselves when confronted with female 'adornments' that do not lie hidden under layers of bedsheets. If women show their 'meat' they can be raped, as many Moslems in Western cities maintain. In most of Europe Moslems account for a majority of rapes.


What of Moslem men ? Simply follow Mein Koran and Fuehrer Muhammad. Make sure you attack and defeat the Infidels. Spread Moslem rule. Fight in the way of Baal. If any 'disbelieve', Fitnah or trials and punishments will be visited upon them by the Lord of Mecca or Baal.


24:63: “Make not the calling of the Messenger (Muhammad SAW) among you as your calling of one another. Allah knows those of you who slip away under shelter (of some excuse without taking the permission to leave, from the Messenger SAW).And let those who oppose the Messenger's (Muhammad SAW) commandment (i.e. his Sunnah legal ways, orders, acts of worship, statements, etc.) (among the sects) beware, lest some Fitnah (disbelief, trials, afflictions, earthquakes, killing, overpowered by a tyrant, etc.) befall them or a painful torment be inflicted on them.”


So from the above we can conclude the following from Mein Koran.

  1. Women are inferior

  2. Islam denies free-will, reason and debate

  3. Moslem males must follow everything Muhammad said, and did.


Nice cult.


Sura 23, 'The Believers' in Mein Koran und Fuehrer Muhammad

Jews and Christians are rubbish, so spaketh Mein Koran.

Bookmark and Share

Even Mein Koran acknowledges the insanity of the Meccan-Baal project and its 'founder' the quite mad Muhammad. Sura 23 is famous for its 'denial', that Muhammad was mentally ill. It rebukes the 'Infidel' for spreading this belief, and demands as usual, punishment, torture and violence against non Moslems.


23:25 "He is only a man in whom is madness, so wait for him a while."

Note: This is used to demonize Unbelievers, for not believing that Muhammad was a prophet is a sin in Islam.


23:70 “Or say they: "There is madness in him?" Nay, but he brought them the truth [i.e. "(A) Tauhid: Worshipping Allah Alone in all aspects (B) The Qur'an (C) The religion of Islam,"] but most of them (the disbelievers) are averse to the truth.”


Nay, no madness in Mein Koran, or the totalitarianism of Mein Fuehrer Muhammad's rule. If you believe that the Meccan cult of submission is nothing else other than the usual litany of Oriental despotism and bile; than the Lord of Mecca, Baal or Allah, will punish you. As 23:70 states, only Islam is the truth, and if Mein Koran says Muhammad is the world's most important human, than that is all you need to know.


In this regard 21% of Sura 23 preaches violence against non Moslems. The multi-culti and Islamophiles regard this as 'moderate', proving that Islam or 79% of it, is peace and love. The 79% simply demands obeisance, there are no immanent rules of tolerance or ethics, and the golden rule never makes an entrance. The violence against non Moslems is palpable, vibrant and dominant. They will be utterly destroyed.


23:41 “So As-Saihah (torment - awful cry, etc.) overtook them with justice, and We made them as rubbish of dead plants. So away with the people who are Zalimun (polytheists, wrong-doers, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, disobedient to His Messengers, etc.).”


Christians are polytheists who are rubbish. Jews are non believers who are as alive to Moslems as dead plants. Once they were Moslem, now they are doomed.


23:44 “Then We sent Our Messengers in succession, every time there came to a nation their Messenger, they denied him, so We made them follow one another (to destruction), and We made them as Ahadith (the true stories for mankind to learn a lesson from them). So away with a people who believe not.


It is not only a supremacist ode to violence but a quite mentally-ill view, that a moon cult from Mecca, is somehow the 'parent' of Judeo-Christianity, appearing as it did, 2600 years after Judaism and 600 years after Christianity. Islam's claim that the Abrahamic theologies all derive from the Lord of Mecca, or Baal, is about as intelligent as stating that AmerIndians discovered Europe; or that Chinghis Khan's Mongolian culture, created ancient China. It is beyond absurd [though no doubt many Phds have been printed supporting such views].


In this Koranic make-believe world, the Jews and Christians are wayward Muslims who must be re-converted to the moon cult 'path' of ritualised obedience, or punished, “If We had mercy on them and removed the distress which is on them, they would obstinately persist in their transgression, wandering in distraction to and fro. We inflicted punishment on them, but they did not humble themselves to their Lord, nor do they submissively entreat (Him)! [23: 75,76] 


Why is Islam supremacist, violent and so intolerant ? Read Mein Koran yourself including Sura 23 the 'Believers'; don't listen to the media or politicians explain away Moslem fascism.

  

Sura 22 or the Pilgrimage to venerate Muhammad and Baal

Pagan, brutal, dumb, sad.

Bookmark and Share


Hundreds of Moslems in the 2015 ritual of oblation to the moon deity [Al Lah] and Muhammad [Al Lah, or the Lord] found themselves dead, beaten, robbed, raped or assaulted. It is a fitting if sordid derivative of an enforced tribute to Mecca, and Muhammad, a city he conquered at the head of a 10.000 man army – which immediately makes him a man of peace for Western academics and 'experts'. Muhammad's return to Mecca is matched only in importance by the great man Obamed and his journey from Chicago to Washington. Muhammad smashed all other idols, keeping only Baal the Al Lah of Mecca as the symbol of 'God', or himself. Obamed smashed the American Constitution and 200 years of history, in his attempt at National Socialist tyranny.


Sura 22 or the Pilgrimage, is a chapter dedicated to Muhammad's seminal event – the takeover of Mecca. It contains of course the usual multi-culti bromides of love and fellowship such as 22:39: “Permission to fight is given to those (i.e. believers against disbelievers), who are fighting them, (and) because they (believers) have been wronged, and surely, Allah is Able to give them (believers) victory.” Or, 022:017 URLVerily, those who believe (in Allah and in His Messenger Muhammad SAW), and those who are Jews, and the Sabians, and the Christians, and the Magians, and those who worship others besides Allah, truly, Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection. Verily! Allah is Witness over all things.” Such benign tolerance, infallible flexibility and acceptance.


The Hajj is a duty, one of the 6 pillars of Submission, issued by the moon deity through his military commander Muhammad, incumbent on all cult followers. It enriches Mecca. It impoverishes the assets and minds of the cult's devotees. It signifies Meccan-Arab imperialism. All Moslems must worship Mecca and its Kabaa shrine of Al-Lah, or the Lord of Mecca, who was of course Baal, the moon deity. There is nothing in the modern world which is so primitive, so ridiculous, as Moslems from non Arab countries paying homage to Arab fascism.

And proclaim to mankind the Hajj (pilgrimage). They will come to you on foot and on every lean camel, they will come from every deep and distant (wide) mountain highway (to perform Hajj).

022:029 * 
URL

Then let them complete the prescribed duties (Manasik of Hajj) for them, and perform their vows, and circumambulate the Ancient House (the Ka'bah at Makkah).


If you don't participate in this pagan festival at least once in your Moslem life, you are damned. You have no choice but to make the trip. Hitler had planned similar decrees for the promised Nazi shrine at Linz. Moslems seem blissfully unaware of the similarities between Muhammadism and Hitlerism.


Jews and Christians are of course cursed in this Sura, though the MSM and quackademics, who have never read the Koran, would have no idea about this:


022:025 URL Verily! Those who disbelieve and hinder (men) from the Path of Allah, and from Al-Masjid-al-Haram (at Makkah) which We have made (open) to (all) men, the dweller in it and the visitor from the country are equal there [as regards its sanctity and pilgrimage (Hajj and 'Umrah)]. And whoever inclines to evil actions therein or to do wrong (i.e. practise polytheism and leave Islamic Monotheism), him We shall cause to taste a painful torment.


022:053 URL That He (Allah) may make what is thrown in by Shaitan (Satan) a trial for those in whose hearts is a disease (of hypocrisy and disbelief) and whose hearts are hardened. And certainly, the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.) are in an opposition far-off (from the truth against Allah's Messenger and the believers).


Perhaps Western politicians might want to read the above and many other verses from this Sura and become acquainted with the 'real Islam', before sounding off like morons, with grade 5 platitudes about Islam representing blue skies and butterflies. In any event the Hajj is simply another Bronze age artifact which tells the sentient and the alert, everything they need to know about the moon cult of Mecca.
