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.

Sura 19 named Mary has two purposes. First, it purports to explain the birth of Jesus and that Jesus or Isu, was actually a Moslem prophet. Second, Christians must be reduced by force and destroyed by Moslems – the 'righteous inheritors of monotheism' – because Christians have rejected the Allah-cult and worship instead a polytheistic conception of God including the idea that God has a son. In Moslem liturgy associating any idol, person or image with Allah or Muhammad [both are likely the same in the Koran], is a sin punished by death and eternal torment.
|
It befits not (the Majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son [this refers to the slander of Christians against Allah, by saying that 'Iesa (Jesus) is the son of Allah]. Glorified (and Exalted be He above all that they associate with Him). When He decrees a thing, He only says to it, "Be!" and it is. |
|
|
Then the sects differed [i.e. the Christians about 'Iesa (Jesus)], so woe unto the disbelievers [those who gave false witness by saying that 'Iesa (Jesus) is the son of Allah] from the meeting of a great Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection, when they will be thrown in the blazing Fire). |
The objective of this chapter is of course to discredit Christianity. There are no lyrical odes to tolerating the Christians or accepting them as co-equal 'peoples of the book'. The purpose is to mock Christians and their perceived polytheism. History is thus rewritten to portray the Christians as evil wrong-doers who left the cult of Allah and 'strayed' from his or its message. History is also refashioned to 'prove' that Islam is the real 'word' of the Allah-thing – whatever Allah might be-- and that Christians are inferiors who need to be subjugated or converted. In this Moslem historical revisionism, which is accepted by the big brains of the Western world as 'fact' [much as Marxian dialectic is accepted as 'fact'], Mary for example is suddenly the sister of Aaron, the spokesman for Moses who lived circa 1600-1250 BC [the exact dates are in dispute]. The Koran tries to abrogate this mistake by claiming that Aaron was another holy man during the period of Mary's life, though no such historical figure has ever been discovered in any extant literature including the Bible. It is simply a made up Moslem myth.
|
"O sister (i.e. the like) of Harun (Aaron) [not the brother of Musa (Moses), but he was another pious man at the time of Maryam (Mary)]! Your father was not a man who used to commit adultery, nor your mother was an unchaste woman." |
Jesus was not born in a manger in Bethlehem but in behind a tree outside of Nazareth. Joseph Mary's husband is not present.
|
And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a date-palm. She said: "Would that I had died before this, and had been forgotten and out of sight!" |
Upon birth Jesus immediately began talking, stating in eloquent Aramaic that he was indeed a slave of the Allah.
|
"He ['Iesa (Jesus)] said: Verily! I am a slave of Allah, He has given me the Scripture and made me a Prophet;" |
I did not know that being a slave was a religious expression of freedom.
As reviewed before in this Sura, Islam makes the claim that Christianity is a fraud.
“..the real point in this Sura is that Christ was no God, since the venerable Allah cannot have a son. “They say: “(Allah) Most Gracious has begotten a son!”. Indeed you have put forth a thing most monstrous!” Yes Muslims don't take too kindly to the idea that Christ supersedes Mohammed or can be equated with the male moon deity of Mecca. It is blasphemous.
|
Verily! We will inherit the earth and whatsoever is thereon. And to Us they all shall be returned, |
In this regard Sura 19 relates what should happen to those blasphemous idolators and polytheists, the followers of Christ.
Christians are sinners and evil:
|
How clearly will they (polytheists and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah) see and hear, the Day when they will appear before Us! But the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers) today are in plain error. |
|
"O my father! Worship not Shaitan (Satan). Verily! Shaitan (Satan) has been a rebel against the Most Beneficent (Allah). [note; throughout the Koran non-Moslems are allied with Satan, and Satan is the great oppositional power to the Allah, see 19:45 below and 19:68]. |
|
"O my father! Verily! I fear lest a torment from the Most Beneficent (Allah) overtake you, so that you become a companion of Shaitan (Satan) (in the Hell-fire)." [Tafsir Al-Qurtubi] |
Use violence against them:
|
Then indeed We shall drag out from every sect all those who were worst in obstinate rebellion against the Most Beneficent (Allah). |
|
And how many a generation (past nations) have We destroyed before them, who were better in wealth, goods and outward appearance? |
|
See you not that We have sent the Shayatin (devils) against the disbelievers to push them to do evil. |
|
And how many a generation before them have We destroyed! Can you (O Muhammad SAW) find a single one of them or hear even a whisper of them? |
Christians will go to Hell:
|
And warn them (O Muhammad SAW) of the Day of grief and regrets, when the case has been decided, while (now) they are in a state of carelessness, and they believe not. |
|
Then, there has succeeded them a posterity who have given up As-Salat (the prayers) [i.e. made their Salat (prayers) to be lost, either by not offering them or by not offering them perfectly or by not offering them in their proper fixed times, etc.] and have followed lusts. So they will be thrown in Hell. |
|
So by your Lord, surely, We shall gather them together, and (also) the Shayatin (devils) (with them), then We shall bring them round Hell on their knees. |
|
Then, verily, We know best those who are most worthy of being burnt therein. |
|
Say (O Muhammad SAW) whoever is in error, the Most Beneficent (Allah) will extend (the rope) to him, until, when they see that which they were promised, either the torment or the Hour, they will come to know who is worst in position, and who is weaker in forces. [This is the answer for the Verse No.19:73] |
|
Nay! We shall record what he says, and We shall increase his torment (in the Hell); |
Arab pagans are to be punished as well for not following the Arab totalitarian Muhammad:
|
And when Our Clear Verses are recited to them, those who disbelieve (the rich and strong among the pagans of Quraish who live a life of luxury) say to those who believe (the weak, poor companions of Prophet Muhammad SAW who have a hard life): "Which of the two groups (i.e. believers and disbelievers) is best in (point of) position and as regards station (place of council for consultation)." |
Islamic exegesis is plainly intolerant and supremacist. It is an early pagan Marxist dialectical. Allah rules and only Allah has free-will. Therefore the Allah-thing created Judaism and Christianity as mere phases in the development of Islam. These imperfect monotheisms are supplanted by the perfect form of monodeity submission, founded by Muhammad, the perfect human greater than Jesus or Moses, or indeed any human in history.
There are many problems with the above claims. The most important is that it is historical revisionism and incoherency. The program of Islam does not demonstrate any of the attributes of a religion but simply those of a cult. It is unworthy to accept the Moslem claim that their cult is a religion. This should offend any right-thinking person including ardent Moslem allies such as Western secularists and Marxists who engage in the most hypocritical and ignorant double standard imaginable. They demonize Judeo-Christianity and mock it. But they will accept any and everything told to them by the Muhammadan cult.
