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.

[meaning still lots more violence to go....]
“It is He who has taught the Qur'an. He has created man: He has taught him speech (and given him Intelligence)” [55:2-4]
This Al-Lah or Al-ilah divinity is rather surprisingly Arab-centric. It is well known that the Koran is suffused with Arab paganism. This chapter contains the usual injunctions to hate, kill and throw into hellfire those who disobey the moon deity of Mecca. In fact 4 hate speech verses punctuate over 70 other verses which extol the benefits to Moslem believers.

There will be sent against you both, smokeless flames of fire and (molten) brass, and you will not be able to defend yourselves. |

The Mujrimun (polytheists, criminals, sinners, etc.) will be known by their marks (black faces), and they will be seized by their forelocks and their feet. |
|
|
This is Hell which the Mujrimun (polytheists, criminals, sinners, etc.) denied. |

They will go between it (Hell) and the boiling hot water! |
How kind of the Moslems. Infidels dragged by their forelocks into the boiling water of Hell.
This chapter also references Jinns, or Arab devils, who are very much a part of a 5.000 year old Arab pagan cult. Islam is simply an outgrowth of pagan Arab theology. The Jinns are proof of this:
“He created man from sounding clay like unto pottery, And He created Jinns from fire free of smoke;” [55: 14-15]
Jinns and humans are both subject to the same constraints. Obey Allah and get the babes, the wine, the flowing rivers of pure water, nubile young servant boys and orgasms which last a thousand years, “In them will be (Maidens), chaste, restraining their glances, whom no man or Jinn before them has touched;-” [55:56]. Sounds good where do we sign up ? But to get to 'heaven' and taste the Maidens, one has to be a pious Muslim. You can't pass into Al-Allah's fantasy-land unless you prostrate yourself to the moon deity:
“O you assembly of Jinns and men! If it be you can pass beyond the zones of the heavens and the earth, you pass! Not without authority shall you be able to pass!” [55:33]
'Allah most Gracious'. Muhammad's conflation of Hub'Allah with the supreme 'God' was a nice trick. Allah is uber alles because the 'ilah' or 'Lord' can mean any and everything. Allah has always been omnipotent because Allah as a word and ideal, replaces everything else. It would be as if I took Shiva and pronounced the Hindu God to be superior to the Judeo-Christian ideal of the divine spark. I could make the case that Shiva is really the 'true path' and 'only God' and that the Jews and Christians are criminals, sinners, rebellious, and arrogant on their arrogation's that their perverted and corrupted world views are the 'right' form of monotheist worship. Allah most Gracious is simply Allah uber alles. Strip away Allah and look at the antecedents to Allah-worship and what Allah actually is and Islam simply implodes.
“Muslims – at least the more pious of them – truly do believe that the Koran is the pure word of a 'God', perfectly rendered to an illiterate military and political leader in Mecca, espousing the 'correct path or Sharia' of living. Muslims do not like to be challenged with the truth that the 'uncreated' Koran is a myth. The Koran is simply a very poorly written, disorganized, repetitive, barbaric, boring and violently racist and supremacist tract with no Golden rule; no higher ethics and no regard for non-Muslims. In fact only 2 % of less of the verses in the Koran have any ethical content. The Koran is simply a precursor of later German and Russian socialist dialectical fantasies and rants; imploring the reader to believe that 'this book and its rules' are absolute divinely inspired truths and that Islam is pre-destined to rule and conquer the globe.
Destroy the myth of the Koran, and you destroy the premise of Islamic fascist imperialism.”
The key to passing into 'heaven' is to be please the moon deity Hub'Al[lah], or Muhammad. I would submit that if you read the Koran with an objective mind you can't help but see that Muhammad and this Allah idol sound as if they are the same. If you don't prostrate yourself to their every whim, and piously submit to Koranic law, you shall not pass into heaven. In fact you will go to hell. The world divided into two. This is not a religion but a cult of control, power and totalitarianism.
