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.
Running totals from Sura 2 to 45:
Total number of verses from Sura 2 to 45: 4500
Total number of verses in 2-45, which preach violence against non-Moslems: 1031
Violent verses as a % of total from Sura 2 to 45: 23 %
Sura 2 to 45 as a % of the 6346 verses in the Koran: 71%
[meaning still lots more violence to go....]
As previously reviewed, Sura 45 has nothing nice to say about the Infidel. Bow to the al-Lah idol of Mecca in this life, or else face an eternal punishment in the next:
“Every non-Muslim sect who did not follow the rules of Islam will be forced to bow on their knees on judgement day. Allah will pronounce them guilty of not following the 'correct' faith. The sects will be humiliated and then destroyed. Hell awaits those who don't prostrate themselves to the moon guy, “And your abode is the Fire, and you do not have any helpers!” [45:34]
How tolerant. Submit to Islam or be destroyed. Not one single passage of this Sura offers an ethical or metaphysical plan or exercise, to improve the human condition. Not one single sentence exists which identifies a higher ideal of human worth and earthly salvation. No words of charity, love or tolerance for those who are different. Just the injunction and the yearning for complete dominance, power, control and the license to kill those who don't follow Islamic rules.”
Indeed. Islam uber alles. Bow down to Muhammad or al-Lah – both appear to be the same to any sentient objective reader of the book named Recital from the cult named Submission. Do it now, or on judgement day you are doomed. No need for free-will, discourse, rationality, good works, or faith through reason and actions. Just submit, shut up and obey.
Out of the 37 verses in this chapter only 14 [38%] preach violence, hate and disparagement of the Infidel non-Moslem. Maybe 'moderate' Moslems can explain why every single Sura spends an immoderate amount of time consumed with a seething hatred of non-Moslems. The offending verses of hate speech are: 5-11, 14, 19, 21, 31, 33-35.

And in the alternation of night and day, and the provision (rain) that Allah sends down from the sky, and revives therewith the earth after its death, and in the turning about of the winds (i.e. sometimes towards the east or north, and sometimes towards the south or west etc., sometimes bringing glad tidings of rain etc., and sometimes bringing the torment), are signs for a people who understand. |
|
|
These are the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, revelations, etc.) of Allah, which We recite to you (O Muhammad SAW) with truth. Then in which speech after Allah and His Ayat will they believe? |
|
|
Woe to every sinful liar, |
|
|
Who hears the Verses of Allah (being) recited to him, yet persists with pride as if he heard them not. So announce to him a painful torment! |
|
|
And when he learns something of Our Verses (this Qur'an), he makes them a jest. For such there will be a humiliating torment. |
|
|
In front of them there is Hell, and that which they have earned will be of no profit to them, nor (will be of any profit to them) those whom they have taken as Auliya' (protectors, helpers, etc.) besides Allah. And theirs will be a great torment. |
|
|
This (Qur'an) is a guidance. And those who disbelieve in the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of their Lord, for them there is a painful torment of Rijz (a severe kind of punishment). |
|
|
Say (O Muhammad SAW) to the believers to forgive those who (harm them and) hope not for the Days of Allah (i.e. His Recompense), that He may recompense people according to what they have earned (i.e. to punish these disbelievers, who harm the believers). |
|
|
Verily, they can avail you nothing against Allah (if He wants to punish you). Verily, the Zalimun (polytheists, wrong-doers, etc.) are Auliya' (protectors, helpers, etc.) to one another, but Allah is the Wali (Helper, Protector, etc.) of the Muttaqun (pious - see V.2:2). |
|
|
Or do those who earn evil deeds think that We shall hold them equal with those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, in their present life and after their death? Worst is the judgement that they make. |
|
|
But as for those who disbelieved (it will be said to them): "Were not Our Verses recited to you? But you were proud, and you were a people who were Mujrimun (polytheists, disbelievers, sinners, criminals)." |
|
|
And the evil of what they did will appear to them, and they will be completely encircled by that which they used to mock at! |
|
|
And it will be said: "This Day We will forget you as you forgot the Meeting of this Day of yours. And your abode is the Fire, and there is none to help you." |
|
|
This, because you took the revelations of Allah (this Qur'an) in mockery, and the life of the world deceived you. So this Day, they shall not be taken out from there (Hell) nor shall they be Yusta'tabun (i.e. they shall not return to the worldly life, so that they repent to Allah, and beg His Pardon for their sins). |
Pretty straightforward. Maybe 'moderate' Moslems can explain it all to us knuckle-dragging, unsophisticated Infidel pigs. The following points are clearly expressed in these 14 verses:
-The Koran is a sign from Allah
-Allah must be followed, so too should the Koran be followed in-toto
-Those who reject either the Koran or Allah are criminals and sinners
-Anyone who mocks or makes jokes about Allah or the Koran is a criminal, a liar and a sinner
-Anyone who disbelieves in any part of the Allah or Koran cult is a criminal, a liar and a sinner as well
-Sinners, liars and criminals are to be punished by Allah on Judgement Day
-Eternal hellfire awaits all sinners, criminals and liars
Since all Moslems are designated to be civilized, sophisticated, erudite and so very tolerant, perhaps they can explain the messaging given above? The injunction of violence against those who do not believe in Allah/Muhammad is rather obvious. How does such a program comport itself with religious ideals, and human value and worth? Why doesn't a cult document of intolerance, hate, bile and supremacism lead to the same in the implementation of its program in the real world ? How can one neatly divorce Koranic barbarism from that of Islam in the greater world?
Maybe Moslems can answer the above for the Zalimun, wrong-doers and polytheists. If they condescend to enlighten the rest of humanity with their capacious rationality of course, unworthy objects that we are.
