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.

The poorly named Enlightenment - James Hitchcock, History of the Catholic Church

Not much was Enlightened about the 'age of reason'

Bookmark and Share

Hitchcock has written a sensible and commendable book which relates some significant facts about how the Catholic Church created the modern world. Juxtaposed against this reality we have the Moslem cult which invented precious little [except Jihad and fascist reliogisity]; and the 'age of reason'. This not so reasonable age dubbed the 'Enlightenment' was in many ways quite unenlightened. It enshrined non-science such as abiogenesis or alien life as 'scientific'. It rewrote through a travesty of error and malice the 'Middle Ages' and eviscerated Medieval Christian culture, which fed into philosophical-materialist doctrines such as Atheism, Pantheism, Socialism, Marxism and Communism. The Enlightenment is directly responsible for the disaster of the French Revolution, Napoleon, Darwin, 3 World Wars and Atheist regimes [including Hitler's] eradicating 100 million souls. What is Enlightened about this era?



The buffoon answers 'science', as if this genre of inquiry only sprang up in the 17th century with the Catholic Newton. This ignorance is paraded around as 'enlightened' thinking. Science and technology flourished during the European Middle Ages. As Hitchcock writes, the materialist fantasies of many of the unEnlightened during the 17th and 18th centuries led directly to war, camps, death and a zeitgeist of hating the human. Who can obsess about 'morality' when might makes right, you are 'evolved' from mud or worse, and our solar system is just a trash hole on the edge of an infinite and always existing universe? Kill, steal, lie, cheat, and be happy. All was 'blind chance' and power anyways.



Hitchock:

[theories pertaining to the]...materialistic. Man was no longer above nature but was subject to blind laws. Herbert Spencer’s (d. 1903) application of evolution to social life—“the survival of the fittest”—claimed that nature rewarded amoral self-interest.”



Blind chance processes and the veneration of 'survival of the fittest', given impetus by nature's magical 'natural selection' led to Hitlerism:



Hitler was born a Catholic but renounced his faith early, partly because his worship of naked power could not be reconciled with Christian morality. (Because of its teachings about love, forgiveness, and humility, Nietzsche had called Christianity a “slave religion”.) Just as Mussolini sought to associate his regime with the pagan Romans, the Nazis invoked the old Norse gods as appropriate deities for a warlike people.”



[note; The fat Tory effete Edward Gibbon, who like his friends, never worked, never invented, never created and never experimented with anything; blamed Christian pacifism for the Fall of Rome. A rather moronic claim. So much for the 'science' of history.]



Hitlerism fed off of Social Darwinism and used 'science' to prove that Evolution was true, that Blacks, Indians and Aboriginals were related to apes; and that Jews were an inferior race with sub-human characteristics [greedy, shifty, thirsty for blood, carnivorous etc].



Social Darwinism” (the “survival of the fittest”) clashed with the equally harsh Marxist doctrine of inevitable class conflict and the necessary use of force.”



[note; Hitlerism and Marxism shared much in common, with National Socialism competing with the Marxists in the same political space for support. Where they differed was in the Marxist obsession with class, and the Nazis with evolutionary-race perfection. Much of their dogmas on how to govern and change society were similar.]



Nazism’s fanatical anti-Jewish campaign was based on a theory of racial purity partly derived from the Darwinian idea of the “survival of the fittest”—the strongest people, who were presumed to be those of northern Europe, were destined to rule their inferiors and had to protect themselves from contamination by lesser races.”


If you reduce life to materialist blind chance with mud by luck, becoming a mechanic, fully functional with 100 trillion cells, a complexity of organs and software, plus a moral consciousness, then anything goes. You can 'revolt' against 'superstition' and 'dogma', against the fetters of the Church; and install Robespierre or some autocratic fascist who will 'remake' society into the utopian ideal replete with 'supermen' and communal 'greatness'. Death, misery and stupidity quickly follow. An era of Enlightenment.  

Michael Coren's 'Hatred: Islam's war against Christianity' Read it.

A good overview of Islam's endless Jihad.

Bookmark and Share

Coren: “..silence of the moderate Muslims which makes them a partner in the crimes of the extremists.”


[I would ask, what is moderate about pagan fascist Islam ?]


..alleged Muslim moderates alike have encouraged or allowed a persecution of millions of people that surely one day will be looked back upon with international shame.”


Islam's war on Christians. 1400 years and counting. Islam is a cult, dedicated to Muhammad and his family idol Al-ilah which means the Lord of Mecca and which references Baal. Islam is in part a cult whose impetus is to eradicate all Jews and Christians. The Koran – Mein Koran or Muhammad's Struggle – and Mein Hadith, make this clear. Coren's book is only stating the obvious, but considering the multitude of multi-cult loving nitwits in Western society, perhaps restating ad nauseum, what should now be common knowledge is both necessary and mandatory.


..discrimination against Christians or any other non-Muslims is in fact integral to orthodox Muslim teaching, and the more profound issue to the serious-minded is not the existence of sectarianism but its extent.”


As Coren states, the various great and good within Christianity who want to have a 'dialogue' with Moslems are the worst form of worms and witless morons. Islam desires the destruction of Christianity. It has no interest in pious, inter-faith 'reason' and 'accord'. Islam is supremacist, fascist, Jihadist and quite intolerant.


there is no commitment on the part of Islam to reshape its relationship with Christianity. A fundamental difference between the two faiths, and an obstacle to peace between the house of Islam and Christianity, is the differing manners in which each religion perceives its place in greater or secular society.”


Jihadists see their holy war as a long struggle and the aim is less victory in Nigeria than the establishment of a totally Muslim Africa. As a result, there have been brutal attacks in Somalia, Sudan, and elsewhere...”


Sex slavery, violence, hate, pulling down churches, slaughtering and beheading Christians and putting their heads on pikes....such acts inform the cult of Muhammad. It is a worldwide phenomenon.


Boko Haram [Nigeria]has been kidnapping little girls who are Christians, trying to turn them into sex slaves, trying to convert them by force. Their strategy is to marry the girls and kill the men...”


...terror campaign is known as the Islamist Insurgency in Nigeria or the Sharia Conflict and has its origins in the fact that while Nigeria’s constitution is secular and there is supposed to be a separation of church and state or mosque and state, twelve individual states were allowed to apply sharia law between 1999 and 2012. Nine state have full sharia law – Zamfara, Kano, Sokoto, Katsina, Bauchi, Borno, Jigawa, Kebbi, and Yobe”


An anti-Christian war by Islamists intent on bringing all of Indonesia under sharia law is going strong, and it’s estimated that more than 30,000 Christians have been killed and perhaps half a million forced from their homes. The government is having some success with its antiterror and anti-Islamist campaign but the situation is still unstable and dangerous. During the worst of the jihadist terror there were forced circumcisions, rapes, beheadings, and torture..”


Syrian Christians have been killed, Syrian churches have been destroyed, Syrian Christian culture has been effectively ruined. Although estimates are difficult to establish, it seems that at least eighty-five churches have been burned to the ground, vandalized beyond use, or bombed into rubble by Islamic militias. Entire towns, such as the town of Ma’loula, have been raided.


And on and on it goes. Toss in ISIS in Iraq and Syria and a pattern reveals itself. Islamic Jihad. Coren outlines just a fraction of the Moslem Jihad against Christianity in Africa, the Near East, Iran, Pakistan and Indonesia. Just a small percentage. It makes depressing reading. Yet the average person will hear and see none of it within the MSM coverage they assume to be 'news'. And of course the idiots in the multi-culti will drone on that 'most' Moslems are 'peaceful' and that Islam is 'tolerant'. So too were most Nazis and Communists one supposes and of course Hitlerism and Stalinism were just 'extremist' forms of benign theologies.  

Muhammad and the Allah idol. Follow Muhammad or else.

A sick cult.

Bookmark and Share

Bukhari's Hadith are a collection in large part, of the Moslem-Muhammadan cult's obsession with Jihad, plunder, rape and power. They are also full of gibberish and loose ended phraseology that riddles the rational. In the main Muhammad sought to usurp Judaism and Christianity, supplanting both with his supremacist theism dedicated to Baal the Meccan moon deity. His last name after was slave of Allah or Abdullah. The Lord of Mecca or Al-ilah was Baal, Muhammad's family deity, whose shrine they took care of. How convenient.



Muhammad preached that Moslems must only be nice to other Moslems. Islam or submission to Allah-Muhammad does not have an ethical code and does not promote the Golden Rule:

1:9

Narrated Abu Musa:

Some people asked Allah's Apostle, "Whose Islam is the best? i.e. (Who is a very good Muslim)?" He replied, "One who avoids harming the Muslims with his tongue and hands."



Be nice to Moslems. Kill the rest.



Muhammad preached that he was more important than the mere and inferior apostle, Christ. As Christ taught about his pre-eminence, so too did Muhammad. Moslems must love Muhammad more than anything else.

1:14

Narrated Anas:

The Prophet said "None of you will have faith till he loves me more than his father, his children and all mankind."



Muhammad preached that for a truly pious Moslem, Allah and himself were 'dearer' than anything else in life. A 'good' Moslem was obligated to follow the demands of Muhammad who was the spokesman for the moon deity Baal. Failure to do so resulted in being sent to Hell in the afterlife.



1:15

Narrated Anas:

The Prophet said, "Whoever possesses the following three qualities will have the sweetness (delight) of faith:

1. The one to whom Allah and His Apostle becomes dearer than anything else.

2. Who loves a person and he loves him only for Allah's sake.

3. Who hates to revert to disbelief as he hates to be thrown into the fire."

Muhammad owned a sex-harem and traded in sex slaves. His cult was started in part to allow plunder, rape and sex-slavery. Yet he believed that Hell was full of women – especially those who were disobedient to the whims and fancies of Moslem men and husbands. Apparently this might create some problems in providing enough space for all the Jews, Christians and non-Moslems who were preordained by Baal to be thrown into the fire. Islam is in part of course, a misogynist sex cult. Women are sex chattel. Polygamy is enshrined. The female's role is to provide warriors for Muhammad and sexual pleasure for Moslem men.



1:28

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

The Prophet said: "I was shown the Hell-fire and that the majority of its dwellers were women who were ungrateful." It was asked, "Do they disbelieve in Allah?" (or are they ungrateful to Allah?) He replied, "They are ungrateful to their husbands and are ungrateful for the favors and the good (charitable deeds) done to them. If you have always been good (benevolent) to one of them and then she sees something in you (not of her liking), she will say, 'I have never received any good from you."



An 'ungrateful' woman is one who disobeys her master, namely her husband, or if unmarried, her father or older brother. In such a case they can be killed, and liberal arts majors working in the MSM call it an 'honour killing'. This is why they are deemed to be so clever.



From the above Hadith, which Moslems believe is as holy as the Koran, I learnt the following:


  1. Muhammad the only apostle of the Allah moon deity is to be revered more than anything else.

  2. A good Moslem is nice to other Moslems.

  3. If you don't follow Muhammad – Allah you are going to the hell-fire.

  4. Women need to obey Moslem men.


Nice cult. 

Muhammad the Psychopath and the will to power and rule

The Hadith provide a history of Jihad, plunder and murder.

Bookmark and Share

Islam is a murdering, plundering, sex-slaving cult. The entire attraction of Muhammadanism was the allure of theft, blood, women and property. Kill, murder, steal, rape and thieve in the name of the Meccan moon deity and you will go to the Moslem heaven.  No wonder uncivilized savages from the Arabian wastes were so eager over time to participate. Bukhari's Hadith track the Moslem expansion and the lust for wealth and women.



Jihad all the time:

4-386

Narrated Jubair bin Haiya:

'Umar sent the Muslims to the great countries to fight the pagans. When Al-Hurmuzan embraced Islam, 'Umar said to him. "I would like to consult you regarding these countries which I intend to invade." ...[Khosrau...Caesar and the ...Faris.] ...Our Prophet, the Messenger of our Lord, has ordered us to fight you till you worship Allah Alone or give Jizya (i.e. tribute); and our Prophet has informed us that our Lord says:-- "Whoever amongst us is killed (i.e. martyred), shall go to Paradise to lead such a luxurious life as he has never seen...I accompanied Allah's Apostle in many battles..."



War, Jihad, a tribute tax, fight the Unbelivers until they worship Muhammad or Allah. Nice. The Jizya tax or ransom tribute levied on Jews and Christians was the foundation of Moslem wealth:



4-388

Narrated Juwairiya bin Qudama At-Tamimi:

We said to 'Umar bin Al-Khattab, lo Chief of the believers! Advise us." He said, "I advise you to fulfill Allah's Convention (made with the Dhimmis) as it is the convention of your Prophet and the source of the livelihood of your dependents (i.e. the taxes from the Dhimmis.) "



Without the Dhimmis or 'People of the Book', Islam would never have been able to support itself. The Moslems conquered superior peoples and stole their wealth. Rather simple and straightforward and a program that would surely appeal to the robber-brigandage culture of the illiterate Arabs.


If the Christians or Jews want to avoid the Jizya and inure themselves from plunder and rape they need to convert to Islam. If they don't all of their property can be taken by the Muhammad-Allah cult:


4-392

Narrated Abu Huraira:

While we were in the Mosque, the Prophet came out and said, "Let us go to the Jews" We went out till we reached Bait-ul-Midras. He said to them, "If you embrace Islam, you will be safe. You should know that the earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle, and I want to expel you from this land. So, if anyone amongst you owns some property, he is permitted to sell it, otherwise you should know that the Earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle."



How is your ego Muhammad? All of the Earth belongs to the apostle of the Meccan moon deity. Wow. Now that denotes a sensible, well-balanced, informed and faith soaked intellect does it not? Don't all 'prophets' wage war until the Earth is theirs? Why did the Arabs follow such an obviously insane psychopath? War, plunder, the theft of property, the allure of sex slaves and many women of course. Before Muhammad's Jihad, Arabia was a backwater, uncivilized, poor, debased. From 4-386 quoted above we have a delegate to the Persians admitting the depraved state of the Arabs:

The other asked, "Who are you?" Al-Mughira replied, "We are some people from the Arabs; we led a hard, miserable, disastrous life: we used to suck the hides and the date stones from hunger; we used to wear clothes made up of fur of camels and hair of goats, and to worship trees and stones.



The Arabs and Moslems still lead a hard miserable life, except for those who can feast on the benefices of Western-discovered oil, or Western-based trading and financial systems. No wonder the near-savages were so enthusiastic to embrace a pagan-fascism which allowed them, under divine auspices, to plunder, kill, rape and acquire wealth. 

Aristotle and the Church – a complex relationship.

The Enlightenment- wrong again.

Bookmark and Share

The 'Enlightenment' detested Aristotle, mostly because Aristotelian theory supported much of Church liturgy and science. To debunk the Church and the entire corpus of Christian Scholasticism which gave rise to both the modern world and science [long before Galileo there was light]; the post-Baroque eras had to dispense with Aristotle. Much of what the Greek sage wrote was of course wrong, and there was precious little experimentation in his work. But his insistence that natural processes and observable facts were a vital part in understanding reality is undeniable. So too was his belief that reason whatever that word may mean and in whatever various forms it may take, could not by itself explain everything in the world around us, especially the miracle of life. It was this latter advancement which so offended the self-proclaimed geniuses of the Enlightenment.


Aristotle maintained that there could only be one world and one planet with life which contained a conscious being, namely ourselves. Most of the ancient Greek philosophers, excluding Epicurus [only material processes exist] and Democritus [everything is chaotic atoms], knew that the complexity of life could not arise by chance, and that the complexity of variables which form life, reality and even our own consciousness would not arise randomly. The modern belief that atoms crashing around in some material-naturalist process turning mud into the medical professional is hardly new. It is a pagan concept as old as philosophy.


The Church and the 'West' knew all about Aristotle long in advance of the modern era, as the 4th century writings of St. Augustine, and the 5th century essays by Boethius make clear. Byzantium, the great Christian center of learning with the world's most advanced corpus of learning and science, was in constant cultural, military and trade contact with the West dating from the time of Justinian [early 6th century]. Transmission of Greek and Roman texts was a long, tedious and painful process, from Byzantium westwards but it occurred long before the Saracen invasions and destruction.


Within the Church between the time of St. Augustine [circa 400 AD] and St. Thomas Aquinas [circa 1240 AD], we find that there were 3 basic reactions to Aristotle's ideas. St. Augustine and his followers adamantly rejected all of Aristotelian naturalism as anathema to the Christian idea of an immanent and all-powerful God. St. Thomas and his disciples cautiously embraced Aristotelian theory and Christianized it. A third group with Siger of Brabant at its head, enthusiastically received Aristotelian ideas and propounded them as superior to much of Church doctrine. The Enlightenment idea that the Church uniformly and without reservation accepted Aristotle’s various theories about naturalism, is of course quite false.


There is plenty within Aristotelian theology which is wrong and undeniably absurd including concepts such as a stationary Earth, a 3 layered cosmos, evolution, fixed geo-centricity, incorrect ideas about atmospheric chemical composition etc. However, one should not apply modern knowledge and even techniques to a man and his academy which existed 2300 years ago. In this vein the reaction of the Church to Aristotle's ideas strikes the observer as both normal, and commendable. After thought, experimentation, and inquiry some within the Church accepted part of Aristotle’s very large corpus of work. Others rejected some aspects of it. A few either imbibed all of it, or dispensed with the entire lot of it.


I see nothing irrational in any of this. It demonstrates a healthy regard for both debate and rational investigation. This of course destroys the Enlightenment myth that the Church in-toto, slavering, spitting, dumb and unclean, accepted Aristotle. It certainly did not, especially the musings that were entirely materialistic and naturalistic including evolution. And it was the Church and its scientists who uncovered the basic laws of science, including long before Galileo, mean speed theorems, gravity, rotational speed of the Earth [see the writings of Pope Sylvester II in 999]; and heliocentricity. Aristotelian ideas were part of the investigation of nature, matter, reality and the immaterial. They were neither preeminent within Church doctrine, nor were they rejected. They were analyzed, dissected, some Aristotelian ideas were accepted, some discarded. This appears to be entirely rational.  

From Epicurus to Galileo, atomism and materialism.

Materialism is a theology which directly attacks religious faith.

Wiker is his book on Science and the Church [The Catholic Church and Science], makes the important point that Aristotle's observations were in the main defended by the Church, because they were opposed to the atomism and materialism of the Greek secularists, those who saw in nature, and 'reason' [whatever reason may mean, there are many variations of 'reason']; all the answers to existence.


...Epicurus [4th century BC].....materialism eliminated both religion and fear of the god's punishment, for at death...our atoms disassociate and we exist no longer...Epicurus identified the good with the physically pleasurable...and evil with what is physically painful...”


Epicurus was a formative influence in the poorly named 'Enlightenment'.


Lucretius his intellectual slave was little better. Wiker:


Lucretius furthered the development of Epicurean materialism.....and adds a theory of generation of all living things by the random association of material atomic particles – a Darwinian-type evolutionary theory about 2000 years before Darwin. As with Epicurus, the goal was to remove the need for God the creator.”


Wiker makes the important point that Galileo who ran afoul of the Church supposedly for teaching helio-centricity [a myth] was an atomist-materialist, in direct contradiction to Church belief. If Galileo had only proposed Copernican ideas as worthy of study, he would have had no trouble. Copernicus' system was of course as cumbersome as that of the Ptolemaic. It was Kepler, not Copernicus who discovered the mathematics to the support elliptical orbits of the planets. Until Kepler it was an open debate which system made more sense – the Ptolemaic embedded in the University and academic system – or the newer proposition by Copernicus which still did not account for the actual movements of the planets.

"The Catholic Church and Science" by Benjamin Wiker

Aristotle vs Atomism

Bookmark and Share

One of the reasons that the Enlightenment was so hostile to a lot of Aristotelian theory, was that Aristotle opposed atomism and materialism. This offended the secular-'humanists' [Atheists], who demanded in various theorems that the material world, as identified by rationalist [positivism, where the mind is the only reality]; could explain everything. There was no need for many of these 'Enlightened' thinkers for a God, supernaturality, miracles or 'complexity'. Nature or its material dialecticism could explain everything.

 

There is of course plenty wrong about much of what Aristotle said. However, he was strongly and correctly in my view, of the opinion that reason itself had many issues and a definable limit. For example is the 'rationalism' of Epicurus [materialism] from the 4th century BC, reconcilable with the 'rationalism' of say Pythagoras [everything is mathematical], Democritus [everything is chaotic atomism]; Marxism [history is great sweeping materialistic phases]; or Atheism [reason is a by product of chance and chaos] ? Aristotle knew that rational theologies were not only corrupt, often-times weak in their logic, but open to divisive debate and censure.

 

As Wiker states, 'Nominalism' [from the Latin word to name] is a rationalist theology which believes that nothing is real. Nominalists conclude that the name cat is artificially affixed to a creature with a cell agglomeration which is in the shape of what our mind calls a cat. But that name is not real, neither really is the cat. It is just a lump of atoms. This 'relativity' is often embraced by the great and good as the highest form of 'rationalism'. It is nothing new. Nominalism was around in 300 BC and rejected by Aristotle. Cats are distinct creatures, and are not dogs. If you can't make that distinction you are simply a lunatic.

 

The Church therefore sided with Aristotle during the Middle Ages starting in the 4th century to stand against atomism, materialism which by their own logic, preclude the spiritual, a soul, the Eucharist and the entire canon of Church belief. Wiker makes this important point and this is the key reason why 'Enlightenment' 'thinkers', are so hostile to Aristotle and so contemptuous of Medieval Church Scholasticism. They desire to eradicate Church canonical liturgy and replace it with atomistic materialism as espoused by Epicurus who was in vogue in the 17th and 18th centuries and Atheist-Darwinism which builds on Epicurus' ideas and demands that you believe nothing created everything by magical processes of naturalism.  

Mein Hadith, the Jizya head-tax, plunder and attracting followers.

No Jihad, no followers, no Meccan moon cult.

Bookmark and Share

Islam was spread by conquest and in particular, by the lure of the spoils of war. The cult around Muhammad was only affirmed and deepened when he started handing out war booty. Thus was Jihad the central pillar of Islam. Without war and the distribution of plunder, no one would have joined Muhammad's cult.



The Jizya tax on Infidels is of course a tribute payment, or plunder to be taken from non-Moslems. This tribute payment is a ransom which protects the non-Moslems conquered by Muhammad's cult, from further Jihad predations. If the non-Moslems join the cult, they don't have to pay this head-tax. Historically this was one important reason why non-Moslems 'converted' to the Meccan moon cult.



4-385

Narrated 'Amr bin 'Auf Al-Ansari:

(who was an ally of Bam 'Amr bin Lu'ai and one of those who had taken part in (the Ghazwa of) Badr): Allah's Apostle sent Abu 'Ubaida bin Al-Jarreh to Bahrain to collect the Jizya. Allah's Apostle had established peace with the people of Bahrain and appointed Al-'Ala' bin Al-Hadrami as their governor. When Abu 'Ubaida came from Bahrain with the money, the Ansar heard of Abu 'Ubaida's arrival which coincided with the time of the morning prayer with the Prophet.



Jews and Christians can live under Moslem rule if they pay the Jizya poll tax and resign themselves to be second-class knaves under Moslem oppression, existing at the pleasure of Moslems.



4-380

Narrated Ibn 'Umar:

Umar bin Al-Khattab expelled all the Jews and Christians from the land of Hijaz. Allah's Apostle after conquering Khaibar, thought of expelling the Jews from the land which, after he conquered it belonged to Allah, Allah's Apostle and the Muslims. But the Jews requested Allah's Apostle to leave them there on the condition that they would do the labor and get half of the fruits (the land would yield). Allah's Apostle said, "We shall keep you on these terms as long as we wish." Thus they stayed till the time of 'Umar's Caliphate when he expelled them to Taima and Ariha.



Muhammad distributed booty to attract followers to his cult. Obviously to obtain booty, war and brigandage were and are necessary. No war, no booty, no cult members.

4-375

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

When Allah favored His Apostle with the properties of Hawazin tribe as Fai (booty), he started giving to some Quarries men even up to one-hundred camels each, whereupon some Ansari men said about Allah's Apostle, "May Allah forgive His Apostle! He is giving to (men of) Quraish and leaves us, in spite of the fact that our swords are still dropping blood (of the infidels)" When Allah's Apostle was informed of what they had said, he called the Ansar and gathered them...Allah's Apostle replied, I give to such people as are still close to the period of Infidelity (i.e. they have recently embraced Islam and Faith is still weak in their hearts).


Islam was formed in the immorality of war, Jihad, plunder, rape and supremacist annihilation of the Pagans, Jews and Christians. For a Westerner with an advanced Liberal arts degrees, this proves that Islam is peace.  

Mein Hadith - Join Muhammad's cult and get your 'fair share' of booty and property

No need for the Golden Rule. Just the rule of the sword.

Bookmark and Share

Most Western quackademics and cultural Marxist media personalities, know nothing about Islam. One of the main reasons the Moslem cult spread out of Medina and conquered Arabia and beyond was the attraction of pillage and sex-slavery. Mein Hadith are full of accounts of 'booty', 'spoils', 'armour' [another word for spoil in Arabic]; women, slaves and money taken from those conquered. I don't remember Christ leading Jihad expeditions of plundering brigands and sex-addled misogynists, though surely Phd's exist which prove just that [complete with computer code and 'models'].



Muhammad takes camels [a valuable asset] as war – booty:

4-362

Narrated Nafi from Ibn Umar:

Allah's Apostle sent a Sariya [armed force] towards Najd, and Abdullah bin 'Umar was in the Sariya. They gained a great number of camels as war booty. The share of each one of them was twelve or eleven camels, and they were given an extra camel each.



Keep the key warriors happy with their 'fair share' of the booty:

4-363

Narrated Ibn 'Umar:

Allah's Apostle used to give extra share to some of the members of the Sariya he used to send, in addition to the shares they shared with the army in general.



Only the Ghazi or warriors of Jihad share in the plunder:

4-364

Narrated Abu Musa:

.."Allah's Apostle has sent us here and ordered us to stay here, so you too, stay with us." We stayed with him till we all left (Ethiopia) and met the Prophet at the time when he had conquered Khaibar. He gave us a share from its booty (or gave us from its booty). He gave only to those who had taken part in the Ghazwa with him. but he did not give any share to any person who had not participated in Khaibar's conquest except the people of our ship, besides Ja'far and his companions, whom he gave a share as he did them (i.e. the people of the ship).



Muhammad is warned to make sure the men are happy with their share of the plunder.....

4-366

Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah:

While Allah's Apostle was distributing the booty at Al-Ja'rana, somebody said to him "Be just (in your distribution)." The Prophet replied, "Verily I would be miserable if I did not act justly."



Join Muhammad's cult, kill an Unbeliever ape and pig; obtain some spoils, buy property, join the wealthy.......

4-370

Narrated Abu Qatada:

We set out in the company of Allah's Apostle on the day (of the battle) of Hunain. ....After the people returned, the Prophet sat and said, "Anyone who has killed an enemy and has a proof of that, will posses his spoils.....So, Allah's Apostle gave the spoils to me. I sold that armor (i.e. the spoils) and with its price I bought a garden at Bani Salima, and this was my first property which I gained after my conversion to Islam.



Ah the benefits of Muhammadan cult membership. Divine sanction to kill pagans, Jews, and Christians; 4 wives, unlimited Infidel sex-slaves; booty, pillage and property. Not to mention 72 virgins in the Moslem heaven in an afterlife flowing with wine and water.....No moral theology needed here. Just the attractions of the material and physical.



St. Thomas Aquinas, reason, faith and Aristotle.

A remarkable theologian and philosopher who is still very relevant.

Bookmark and Share

St. Thomas Aquinas was one of the rarest and most brilliant intellects in history. He was a mental polymath, conversant in theology, philosophy, logic, rhetoric, mathematics, astronomy and pagan knowledge [referred to by the Enlightenment as the 'Classics'.] Aquinas was recognized in the 13th century as a formidable intellect in an age of burgeoning real-science, experimentation, advances in math and astronomy, and a plethora of urban and ecclesiastical building. Trade was both lengthened and deepened; inventions in industry, agriculture, masonry, finance, shipping and military arms, marks out the era as one of rapid progress. Indeed the 4 centuries from roughly 900-1300 manifested the greatest increase in prosperity for the average human in history, until our own modern era.


The Catholic genius and his works are hard to master for the average modern layman. He is not an easy read. In summary we can say that Aquinas basically Christianizes Aristotle. Importantly he provides a concept of natural science, in marrying observation to experimentation and measurement, that is totally absent from Greek-Roman metaphysics. He does so to support his view that reason cannot explain all of life and certainly not the immaterial. Reason supports faith. This is called Thomist or Thomism philosophy.


I would state that Aristotle was of course wrong on many issues [see here for eg]. He was in the main a materialist and naturalist which by itself is neutral. However, unlike the Christian Scholastics of Aquinas' era in the early 13th century, Aristotle did no real scientific work. For example he claimed the earth did not move. Basic astrology/astronomy, buttressed by known mathematics in 330 BC would have allowed him to hypothesize that the earth does indeed move – and quite rapidly. The tools were available to either support or to put into doubt his own hypothesis. Within Aristotelian theory there is no known process of experimentation, testing, hypothesis refutation, observational evidence and conclusions leading to a new or improved hypothesis. Methods of science would not arrive until the age of Aquinas.


Aquinas is usually portrayed as a follower of Aristotle. This is nonsense. He was a Catholic theologian who uses Aristotle’s ideas to further support Christianity and he is especially focused on real science and methods of discovering the laws, secrets, and order of the natural world. This is the only sensible way to look at his work. During the medieval era Greek philosophical ideas in all areas had been known and debated since the time of Boethius in the 5th century. Another lie by the Marxist multiculti cult is that 'Aristotle's naturalism', or his apparent demand that you look into nature for scientific reasons as to why natural phenomena occur [no need for Zeus, Hera etc.]; only seeped into a 'dark' Europe in the 10th century via Islamic Spain, itself a nightmare of oppression, raids, intellectual suppression and Christian-hate. This is utter bunk and a-historical rewriting to support the rather insipid claim that a totalitarian cult from Mecca was somehow 'enlightened', to use the 'secular-humanist's' [Marxist-anti human] favourite term. Aristotle did not practice real science and medieval Europe was well aware of his naturalism as meagre as it truly was long before the arrival of Muhammad's cult.


The power of Thomism is that reason leads to faith; and faith supports this journey of reason to realms beyond the material. In other words, it is a sad, sorry existence if you believe that only matter is real and that all matter is some chance occurrence, randomly producing complexity. [From Étienne Gilson's The Philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas (pgs. 37-55)]


This transcendent influence of Faith upon Reason is an essential fact which it is important to understand, if the true features of Thomistic philosophy are to be preserved. ..This enables us to understand the admirable unity of the philosophical and the theological work of St. Thomas. It is impossible to pretend that a mind of this temper is not fully conscious of its aim. Even in the commentaries on Aristotle, his mind always knows where it is going, and there too, it works towards the doctrine of Faith, not as an explanation, but as a completion and counterpoise of mental balance. And yet one may say that St. Thomas works in the full and clear consciousness of never appealing to arguments not strictly rational, for if Faith acts upon Reason, his Reason, supported and fertilised by his Faith, does not, for all that, cease to perform purely rational operations and to assert conclusions, based only on the evidence of first principles common to all human minds.”


Faith is no enemy of reason. Indeed reason and faith are co-joined. This is one reason why the greatest scientists in history, have been deists. There is no conflict between believing in the immaterial as well as the material.


At this point we find the reconciliation of the extreme distrust of human Reason the contempt even which St. Thomas sometimes displays towards it, with the keen taste he always retained for dialectical discussions and arguments. For when it is a question of attaining to an object which its very essence renders inaccessible to us, our Reason shows itself powerless and defective in all respects. No one was ever more convinced of this insufficiency than St. Thomas.”


Naturalism by itself, as a science, has many limitations. It cannot for example explain 'why'. Why is a single cell so complex? Yes certainly I can discover its complexity using science. But now I ask myself why do 100 Trillion of these cells co-joined in marvellous complexity, exist at all and how could these many-to-many dependencies and interactions exist by naturalist chance ?


Naturalism has never answered the question Why?. And it never will.  

Michael Coren: 'Hatred; Islam's war on Christianity'. Stating the obvious.

The Moslem Jihad of 1400 years against Christianity, is only news to the ignorant.

Bookmark and Share

Robert Spencer has a post about a book I just bought but have not yet read, from Canadian-Brit Michael Coren named, 'Hatred; Islam's war on Christianity'. Pithy and appropriate title. As a cult, Islam is in part dedicated to the destruction of Christianity. So too were the Nazi and Communist cults – both of which were premised in large part on Evolution and of course Atheistic 'science'. In both totalitarianisms Christians were killed for opposing the 'science' of the state, namely Darwin's Natural Selection in Germany; and Lysenko's Larmarckian Evolution and state-perfection of man thereby, in Russia. Within Islam 'science' is not used to kill Christians but a supremacist theology certainly is. Christians are derided in Mein Koran as 'People of the Book' [a pejorative term, not one of admiration as propagated by the clueless media]; and in 1600 verses of violence, Moslems are adjured to hate, avoid, attack, dominate, enslave, rape and kill them. The Hadith are no better.


Coren has a well-viewed TV show which dedicates part of its air-time to Moslem attacks on Christians. He is unique in having the courage to do this. Coren was a little late in realizing that Islam was the biggest threat to Christianity, outside of the state and Atheism. I remember discussing with him some years ago the cult of Islam, and he felt that dialogue was indeed possible with Moslems. Now apparently he has seen the light and realizes that the theological texts, the Moslem liturgy, its history of Jihad, the story of its founder; make dialogue not only impossible, but dangerous since it conveys weakness and appeasement.


Spencer on Coren's book:

The bitter irony is that the chimera of Muslim-Christian dialogue is what has kept all too many Christian leaders in the West from speaking out against the ever-growing horror of Muslim persecution of Christians worldwide. In his brief but thorough new book, Hatred: Islam’s War on Christianity, Michael Coren lays out the whole gruesome and dreadful story: how Islamic law mandates second-class status for Christians and an ongoing, legally sanctioned level of harassment and persecution; how Muslims who persecute Christians today are scrupulously following these directives, which are considered to be the law of Allah himself; and how Christians today are suffering levels of persecution not seen since the days when Christianity was a despised and outlawed sect in the Roman Empire – and in some cases, contemporary Muslims make the ancient Romans look like tolerant multiculturalists.


Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Pakistan, Iran, Indonesia, Africa and elsewhere – virtually everywhere that Christians live among Muslims today, Coren shows in Hatred that Muslims are persecuting their Christian neighbors. In Syria and Iraq, Coren details how this persecution has reached such a level that Christian communities that have lived in those countries since the time of Christ have been completely decimated – killed, forcibly converted, or driven into exile – and are likely never to return.”


Islamic Jihad. 1400 years of Christian-hate and war. Don't expect it to stop because some witless politician or media moron drones on about the 'real Islam'. The 'real Islam' is Mein Koran. Read it. Decide for yourself how tolerant and multi-cultural it is. We need more books like Coren's latest. 

Moslem Hell-fire, science, medicine, burning of Infidels and the Magnificent 19

Malik won't save the 'Peoples of the Book'....

Bookmark and Share

Moslem science. There are 4 seasons because the “Hell-fire” agent asked the moon deity for vacation time. This would make Muhammad a climate-change scientist, perhaps the first in history:


4:482

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "The (Hell) Fire complained to its Lord saying, 'O my Lord! My different parts eat up each other.' So, He allowed it to take two breaths, one in the winter and the other in summer, and this is the reason for the severe heat and the bitter cold you find (in weather)."


Moslem medicine. Your 39.5C temperature arises from the fires of Hell. Cool yourself with some water. That should heel the viruses and bacteria conspiring against your body.


4:484

Narrated Rafi bin Khadij:

I heard the Prophet saying, "Fever is from the heat of the (Hell) Fire; so cool it with water."


Moslem natural physics. Fire for cooking or heating, is precisely composed 70% of hell-fire. So spaketh the great man Muhammad, who today would be declared to be not only a prophet, but a 'scientist'. Said fire is better used as a mechanism to kill Unbelievers.


4:487

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "Your (ordinary) fire is one of 70 parts of the (Hell) Fire." Someone asked, "O Allah's Apostle This (ordinary) fire would have been sufficient (to torture the unbelievers)," Allah's Apostle said, "The (Hell) Fire has 69 parts more than the ordinary (worldly) fire, each part is as hot as this (worldly) fire."


But the real point of 'fire' is to use its heat, to torture Infidels, Jews and Christians. Non-Moslems are fodder for the fire. This is called Moslem charity.


4:488

Narrated Yali:

That he heard the Prophet on the pulpit reciting:-- "They will cry: "O Malik!' (43.77) (Malik is the gate-keeper (angel) of the (Hell) Fire.)”



Surely the mainstream media, quackademics and Moslem lovers know their Malik? 'They' in 4:488 are of course the hated Jews and Christians. 'O Malik' is their cry for mercy. Malik in Islamic liturgy is the door keeper of Hell, and he is a part of the 'magnificent 19' who were enshrined in Islamic lore by the 19 perpetrators of 9-11. These 19 angels including Malik will watch over and guard Moslems, but they will destroy or toss into the hell-fire Jews and Christians.



"Over it [gates to hell] are nineteen. And We have not made the guardians of the Fire except angels. And We have made their number only as a trial for the unbelievers - in order that the People of the Book may be certain and that the believers may increase in faith, and so that the People of the Book and the believers would not doubt, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the unbelievers would say, 'What example does Allah intend by this?' Thus does Allah leave to stray whom he pleases and guides whom He pleases. And none can know the soldiers of your Lord except He. And this is nothing other than a warning to mankind."
[Muddaththir, 74: 30-31]



Malik and the other 19 will get rid of the Unbelievers, who are 'diseased'. 'Peoples of the Book' are doomed to eternal hellfire. This is why they will cry out to Malik asking for mercy. None will be given.


Collins and Christian-Catholic Culture in the West

The 10th century was critical and it was very Catholic.

Bookmark and Share

Australian historian Paul Collins in his work The Birth of The West makes the claim that the 10th century formed European identity and was based upon the firm foundation of both Christianity and Romanic-Gallic culture. There is little to dispute this claim. The antecedents of the 10th century European expansion, in which by 1000 AD Europe was supreme in every aspect of world affairs, was of course laid much earlier. Yet the 10th century was crucial to the creation of the modern world – a fact which by itself destroys the idea that Islam or any other pagan-totalitarian culture created much of anything.



Between the takeover of the Roman empire by Germanic groups [there was no fall], and the Moslem invasions [which led to a contraction absurdly called by Marxist-Enlightenment theologians as a Dark Age]; European culture became an admixture of the old [Roman-Greek] and the new [Christian-Rational]. As Collins relates:



Boethius (ca. 475–ca. 526), a brilliant philosopher, politician, and translator of Aristotle, who exercised the strongest influence on medieval education. He was interested in the Quadrivium, and his translations of Aristotle’s logical and mathematical works and his own theological works were used for the next millennium. The final influence on medieval education was Bishop Isidore of Seville (ca. 560–636), who studied at the cathedral school of Seville in the Visigothic period a century before the Muslim invasion. Like Gerbert, [Pope Sylvester II], he was fascinated by knowledge and compiled the Etymologiae... “



In the 10th century a Pope and polymath born in poverty became a standard bearer for European success and progress. Pope Sylvester II was an inventor, musician, astronomer, writer, mathematician and a reforming theologian. Men like Sylvester are not formed in 'dark ages'. It might be remarked that weak Popes like the current Francis, are. Sylvester and other well educated clergy knew all about Aristotle [who was usually wrong] and ancient learning, some of it useful, much of it not.


...influenced by Boethius’s De arithmatica is clear from his correspondence with his friend Constantine of Fleury concerning superparticular numbers, the arithmetic relationship of two sequential numbers where the dividend equals the divisor plus one. [Pope Sylvester II] Gerbert’s interest here was derived from music; such calculations are useful in understanding harmony.”



Gerbert also taught logic and rhetoric, introducing students to “the poets with whom he thought they ought to be made acquainted, expounding and teaching the poets Virgil, Statius and Terence, the satirists Juvenal, Persius and Horace, and the historian Lucan. When the students had been familiarized with these authors and trained in the modes of expression, he promoted them to the study of rhetoric.” Gerbert wrote a commentary on Aristotle and was very much influenced by Cicero, who linked rhetoric to integrity of character.”



What does Collins say about Christianity and the modern world today? He correctly surmises that a post-Christian world will lead to decline, but that we are not yet there. The reason is that Christianity is so embedded into reason, science, culture, laws and mores; that it is difficult to expunge from the Western consciousness.



Our culture was born in the tenth century. The driving force of that birth was Western Christianity, more specifically Catholicism. The church was the cohesive driver that bound together the disparate elements that make up our cultural inheritance and was the energy that drove the process forward. Today we stand at a crossroads in Western culture, caught up as we are in a seemingly inexorable movement toward globalism, multiculturalism, and internationalism. There is a strong impetus today to deny our cultural roots altogether, or at least to pretend that we live in a kind of “post-Christian [world]”.



Collins is right, even if he is a little optimistic. Cultural Marxism, multiculturalism, the fetishes of relativity, sexual confusion, militant ascientific Atheism [from nothing there is everything], Islam-Is-Peace [so too was Communism and Nazism]; amongst other cult doctrines [plant food causes weather so save us almighty state]; have the ability to create a post-Christian world. Looking around at reality it is rather evident that this anti-Western culture is in the ascendant. It does not bode well for the future. 

The Meccan Moon Cult is saturated with slavery, violence, hate, supremacism, death.

You won't find out the truth about the Moon cult if the lamebrain media is your source.

Bookmark and Share

Western lamestream, lamebrain media are always shocked when Moslems, quoting the Koran, perform deeds of barbarism worthy of their Arab-Moslem ancestors. The big brains are quick to assert that these Moslems are not really Moslems just angry impoverished freedom fighters who enjoy cutting off heads, raping women, selling Christian girls into sex-slavery and demolishing non Moslem artefacts, monuments, churches and villages. Political Imams rush to assure the peasants that they know the Koran better than the Koran worshipping moon cult devotees and that Islam preaches love of women, Christians, Jews and a respect for non-Moslem culture. The reality of 1400 years is of course precisely the opposite.



Slave trading:

Non-Muslims cannot own Muslim slaves. Ali-ilah would never approve of this. However, Moslems are given the right to own slaves, and some 10 million Whites and 15 million Blacks were enslaved by the Meccan moon cult in 1400 years. Many good books recount this slave trade in Whites and Blacks by Moslems.

Sura 33.50 also grants Mohammed and Muslims the right to own slaves:

O Prophet! surely We have made lawful to you your wives whom you have given their dowries, and those [slaves] whom your right hand possesses out of those whom Allah has given to you as prisoners of war, and the daughters of your paternal uncles and the daughters of your paternal aunts, and the daughters of your maternal uncles and the daughters of your maternal aunts who fled with you; and a believing woman if she gave herself to the Prophet, if the Prophet desired to marry her -- specially for you, not for the (rest of) believers; We know what We have ordained for them concerning their wives and those whom their right hands possess in order that no blame may attach to you; and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.”



Misogyny:

Women are slaves for Moslem men. Sex slaves if they are Infidel women. Polygamous slaves if they are Moslem women. Daughters are slaughtered if they disobey the Father.

Women are stupid!

Bukhari (48:826) – An oft-stated Koranic 'fact'. Women are dumb according to Mohammed and their ideas are not comparable to that of men.

Women are things to be traded!

Bukhari (58:125) – Females can and should be bought and sold and traded. In this verse a male Muslim with two wives offers a friend a choice of one of the two. Just like shopping I suppose. Muhammad then arranges a wedding banquet. How tolerant and caring.

A Woman is simply her vagina!

Bukhari (62:81) – Nikah or the marriage contract is mainly about the use of the vagina. Or so says Mohammed.



Christianophobia in the Koran:

Nazism and Islam are the 2 most anti-Christian cults in history. Islam is in part, a cult dedicated to the extirpation of Christians. Jihad and Christianophobia is clearly identified in the Koran, in over 1600 verses, as being a 'pillar' of the cult.

005:051
O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Auliya' (friends, protectors, helpers, etc.), they are but Auliya' to one another. And if any amongst you takes them as Auliya', then surely he is one of them. Verily, Allah guides not those people who are the Zalimun (polytheists and wrongdoers and unjust).



005:033
The recompense of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and do mischief in the land is only that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off on the opposite sides, or be exiled from the land. That is their disgrace in this world, and a great torment is theirs in the Hereafter.



Jew hate in the Koran:

Eradicating the Jew is another great plank in the Moslem cult's platform. Racism redounds in Mein Koran, eclipsing the Jew-hate one finds in Mein Kampf. Jews are apes or pigs, destined to be slaughtered in this life and burning in hell in the next.

005:060
Say: "Shall I point out to you something much worse than this, (as judged) by the treatment it received from God? those who incurred the curse of God and His wrath, those of whom some He transformed into apes and swine, those who worshipped evil; - these are (many times) worse in rank, and far more astray from the even path!"

004:056
Those who reject our Signs, We shall soon cast into the Fire: as often as their skins are roasted through, We shall change them for fresh skins, that they may taste the penalty: for God is Exalted in Power, Wise.

046:020
And on the Day that the Unbelievers will be placed before the Fire, (It will be said to them): "Ye received your good things in the life of the world, and ye took your pleasure out of them: but today shall ye be recompensed with a Penalty of humiliation: for that ye were arrogant on earth without just cause, and that ye (ever) transgressed."



Muhammad as war leader:

As a leader he was a totalitarian pagan-fascist in the true sense of those words. The Koran – his invention – is garbled, intolerant, Jihadic, contradictory and tautologically irrational. In Muhammad's deranged mind he is the Allah thing.



The key to Muhammad is that he must be viewed for what he was – a political-military adventurer, a blood thirsty murdering tyrant and a pagan cult leader. He was one of thousands in the world during the 7th century to form and lead a cult, inspired supposedly by some celestial power – the sun, the moon, a star, the rain, the thunder-god, the sky-god, or perhaps by the earth goddess.



Quackademics, Western political Imams, the lamestream media will never tell you the truth about the intolerant, fascist Jihadic cult of Mecca. I daresay most Moslems are just as ignorant.  

Moslems in Iraq selling Yezidi and Christian girls, under 10, for up $170 each, as sex slaves

Islam demands sex slavery, sexual violence against young girls.

Bookmark and Share

Non Moslem women and female children are by Sharia and Koranic law; open for rape, sex-slavery and harem duty. Muhammad's exalted example makes this clear. Non Moslem women are sex toys which the 'right hand' of Moslem men 'own' and can do with as they please. Islam is in part, a sex cult for male Moslems. As written before a woman in Islam is a thing, not a human.



Worse the Koran openly advocates sex with pre-pubescent slave girls and sex with slave girls is encouragedKoranic verses 4.3, 4.24, 23.6, 33.50 & 70.30 allow a Muslim man to have sex with slave girls. A slave girl can be bought or acquired by killing infidels and capturing their wives and daughters.



Why then is anyone but Western Marxists surprised that ISIS following Koranic 'law' is selling NON-MOSLEM girls under the age of 10 into sex slavery.



IBT Times: 'Shocking' that ISIS is selling little girls for up to $170 as Sex slaves....



The Birth of the West: Rome, Germany, France, the Creation of Europe in the 10th Century P. Collins

So much for the myth of Al-Andalus and 'tolerant' Moslem Spain

Bookmark and Share

An insightful look into 10th century Europe. It is my contention that by 900 AD Europe was the richest, best-fed, best-educated and most agriculturally productive geographic entity in the world. It was 'Christendom' which formed the modern world, developed technology and science, and allowed freedom to come to the fore of the political-economy. Free-will, free-association, freedom of speech, free assembly, and the mandate to use rationality only arose in Christendom – no where else.


Collins would likely agree with this assessment. Some interesting facts from the 10th century on why and how Christendom saved the world.


in the tenth century probably less than 25 percent of European land was owned by the church and monastic orders and that kings and magnates controlled 40 percent or more. Ordinary people owned about 30 to 35 percent, but the constant insecurity and chaos meant that they were still subservient to the local strongman because they needed his protection.


The Secular state was always more powerful than the Church and incessantly desired its subservience to state power.


Italy seems to have been an irresistibly attractive prize for the Germans. It was not only the warmer climate and brighter light, the economic prosperity and the developed resources, particularly in northern Italy, that attracted them. It was also the influence the emperors could exercise over the papacy, which indirectly gave them even more power over the church in Germany.


and: retaining their educational role, monasteries in the ninth century had become increasingly secularized owing to their social and economic clout. Patrick J. Corish points out, “They became associated with the established major dynasties, and in consequence became centers of secular power.....Monastic armies fought with kings and against kings.


Yet the benefices of monasticism, Church technological developments, public and court schools, medicine, hospitals and even the idea of peace-days in which war was outlawed, all added magnificently to the heritage and expansion of Christendom.


Irish monks who “saved civilization” and learning in the West, a project that continued through the Carolingian period and on into the tenth century. The ability to reform itself was one of monasticism’s great strengths, and one of the great reforms of Western monasticism emanated from the monastery of Cluny in southern Burgundy and spread across Western Europe in the tenth and eleventh centuries.


Irish monks preserved Latin and Greek learning well before the great days of Muslim al-Andalus, and these same monks, from the seventh century onward, spread that learning and culture across Continental Europe and England via their missionary work.


And what of the poverty of the Moslem-fascist political project in Spain?


In traditional Islam there was no clear separation of what today we would call religion and the state. The key question of who should lead the community was left unanswered. At first the caliphs saw themselves as the successors of Muhammad. They claimed “to be khalifat all?h....vice regents of God. They assumed the protection and endowment of Muslim worship, the organization of mosques and the defence of the pilgrimage. They claimed authority in legal and doctrinal...


Islam, isolated and convinced of its own superiority, felt it had nothing to learn from Christian Europe. We will return to this knowledge transmission when we consider Gerbert of Aurillac. All of this suggests the need for a more nuanced appreciation of al-Andalus. In the end the greatness of Moorish Spain was something of a mixed blessing.


al-Andalus simply wasn’t the kind of tolerant paradise that Lewis imagines, especially for Christians. It was a highly stratified society with a strict demarcation of roles, including for a period the wearing of identifying badges for Jews and Christians. Mozarabic Catholics were cowed, second-class citizens in what had originally been their own country.


Catholics and Jews were constantly reminded of their second-class status. They were dhimmi, “protected ones,” or “people of the book.” Dhimmi were granted a special residential status to live in Muslim-dominated countries in return for paying jizya, a poll and land tax. Generally, there was no outright persecution of Christians until the time of the vicious dictator al-Mans?r (976–1002).


the hadith (sayings ascribed to Muhammad) says, as “the one who fights for the faith of Allah” than of actually gaining territory. Over the course of Abd al-Rahm?n’s campaigns against the Christians, he achieved some victories. One Moorish chronicler says that after a battle in July 920 at Valdejunquera, southwest of Pamplona, there were so many heads of the Christian dead to take back to Córdoba to set up around the city walls that the mule trains could not carry them.


And, Al-Andalus was far from an open, tolerant society even for Muslims.

Anyone who has studied the disaster of Moslem Spain – the millions killed, dispossessed, or taken as sex chattel; the forcible conversions, the endless raids against Infidels, obscene taxes on non-Moslems, the lies about how large or grand Cordoba was; knows the above to be true. The Reconquista which was effectively over in 1250 except for the statelet of Granada which paid a ransom to survive, is one of the greatest epics in Western history.

At least Collins has the intelligence and factual confidence to impart the truth. 

Muhammad the ever generous divider of booty and pillage.....

Allah or Baal, made it legal for Moslems to plunder and steal.

Bookmark and Share


War, plunder and 'booty' are common themes in Mein Koran and Mein Hadith. The Hadith by Bukhari are especially interested in the distribution of spoils from the Moslem Jihad. Muhammad often-times remarked [according to these Hadith], that Allah or Baal the Lord [ilah] of Mecca; had made pillage and plunder 'legal' for Moslems. Muhammad of course always took 'his fair share', as demanded by his family deity Baal [Allah]. How convenient.


Plunder is legal and Muhammad's miracle confirms it.

4-353

So, the prophet carried out the expedition and when he reached that town at the time or nearly at the time of the 'Asr prayer, he said to the sun, 'O sun! You are under Allah's Order and I am under Allah's Order O Allah! Stop it (i.e. the sun) from setting.' It was stopped till Allah made him victorious.

....The Prophet added: Then Allah saw our weakness and disability, so he made booty legal for us."


Save some of the plunder for future generations of moon-cult followers:

4-354

Narrated Aslam:

'Umar said, "Were it not for those Muslims who have not come to existence yet, I would have distributed (the land of) every town I conquer among the fighters as the Prophet distributed the land of Khaibar."


Fight not just for booty, but most importantly for Allah and Muhammad.

4-355

Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ashari:

A bedouin asked the Prophet, "A man may fight for the sake of booty, and another may fight so that he may be mentioned by the people, and a third may fight to show his position (i.e. bravery); which of these regarded as fighting in Allah's Cause?" The Prophet said, "He who fights so that Allah's Word (i.e. Islam) should be superior, fights for Allah's Cause."


Muhammad's family gets special attention and exemptions when it comes to Jihad and booty.

4-359

Narrated Ibn 'Umar:

'Uthman did not join the Badr battle because he was married to one of the daughters of Allah's Apostle and she was ill. So, the Prophet said to him. "You will get a reward and a share (from the war booty) similar to the reward and the share of one who has taken part in the Badr battle."


Convert to Muhammad's cult and reap the rewards.

4-360

Narrated Marwan bin Al-Hakim and Miswar bin Makhrama:

When the Hawazin delegation came to Allah's Apostle after they had embraced Islam and requested him to return their properties and war prisoners to them, Allah's Apostle said, "To me the best talk is the truest, so you may choose either of two things; the war prisoners or the wealth, for I have delayed their distribution."


How generous of the great man Muhammad.


It should be noted however, that Prophets of a 'religion' do not lead war expeditions, rape, murder, steal and distribute the profits made from war. Nice cult Islam.


5:32 and the lies of Moslems and their allies

Islam is an intolerant cult.

Bookmark and Share

Moslem geniuses and their massive-big brain friends in the West, most of whom have never read Mein Koran or Mein Hadith; usually reference 2 Koranic sources to prove that Islam is peace. The first Koranic resource is 2:256 or the no-compulsion in religion apocrypha. If you bother to read the entirety of chapter 2, you will find out that their is plenty of compulsion in Islam. The quoted sentence fragment in 2:256 is followed by a long sordid denunciation of those who deny Islam. Chapter or Sura 2 is one of the most intolerant in the Koran and targets Christians and Jews for destruction. Witness 2:257


002:257

Allah is the Wali (Protector or Guardian) of those who believe. He brings them out from darkness into light. But as for those who disbelieve, their Auliya (supporters and helpers) are Taghut [false deities and false leaders, etc.], they bring them out from light into darkness. Those are the dwellers of the Fire, and they will abide therein forever.


How kind.


A second verse trotted out by the huge minds is 5:32. Sura 5 like Sura 2, is a long screed of hate-speech and intolerance. But enormous minds with Phds pull out this little fragment and declare that the 1600 verses of Koranic hate speech are per-force null and void.


Here is 5:32: “On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if anyone slew a person - unless it be in retaliation for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew all mankind: and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all humanity.”


Tears on my pillow. 'Spreading mischief in the land', means opposing Islam, denying Muhammad, disbelief that Baal the ilah of Mecca, is 'god'. 'Spreading mischief in the land', means defending yourself against Moslems, fighting the Jihad, and even criticizing Muhammad's cult. Ergo killing those who are 'spreading mischief' is fine.


Anyone who has read Mein Koran knows that Infidel life is not held to be sacred. Infidels, including the old, women and children, can be killed if they oppose Islam or 'spread mischief in the land'.


Sayid ibn Jubayr who lived at the time of Muhammad, and was a companion of Ayesha), said:

.....Sa`id bin Jubayr said, "He who allows himself to shed the blood of a Muslim, is like he who allows shedding the blood of all people. He who forbids shedding the blood of one Muslim, is like he who forbids shedding the blood of all people." In addition, Ibn Jurayj said that Al-A`raj said that Mujahid commented on the Ayah,

We find this in the text Human Beings Should Respect the Sanctity of Other Human Beings written by Tafsir Ibn Kathir, one of the most respected Moslem theologians. Islam is a dichotomous cult. Be nice to Moslems. Dominate, enslave, rape, convert or kill the rest. Simple.

2:256 and 5:32 have about as much to do with accepting and being nice to non-Moslems, as Hitlerian-Evolutionary dogma had with accepting and being kind to Jews and Catholics.
