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.

Muhammad is not a madman, but simply the most important human in history, according to his own creation 'Al-Lah', known as Hub'al or the male moon deity of Mecca, which was the chief Lord of all the gods of the Kabaa shrine, when Muhammad was born in 571 AD.
|
You (O Muhammad SAW) are not, by the Grace of your Lord, a madman. |
|
|
And verily, for you (O Muhammad SAW) will be an endless reward. |
Muhammad's endless reward is just compensation for being the chief spokesman for the Al-Lah deity, and the creator of the cult of Submission. Surely Allah, Muhammad's alter ego, must be pleased with the main personality of its creator. One personality congratulating and issuing a panegyric for the other.
Muhammad is not mad or insane. The Infidels are. Out of 52 verses in this Sura only 19 preach intolerance and hatred against the Unbeliever. How civil. The screed against non-Moslems is now termed moderation by the really smart people. According to the follow hate speech verses, the Al-Lah [who is Muhammad] does not like pagans and Christians too much.
|
Which of you is afflicted with madness. |
|
|
Verily, your Lord knows better, who (among men) has gone astray from His Path, and He knows better those who are guided. |
|
|
So (O Muhammad SAW) obey not the deniers [(of Islamic Monotheism those who belie the Verses of Allah), the Oneness of Allah, and the Messenger of Allah (Muhammad SAW), etc.] |
|
|
They wish that you should compromise (in religion out of courtesy) with them, so they (too) would compromise with you. |
|
|
And obey not everyone who swears much, and is considered worthless, |
|
|
A slanderer, going about with calumnies, |
|
|
Hinderer of the good, transgressor, sinful, |
|
|
Cruel, after all that base-born (of illegitimate birth), |
|
|
We shall brand him over the nose! [Him references a pagan opponent of Muhammad] |
|
|
Verily, We have tried them as We tried the people of the garden, when they swore to pluck the fruits of the (garden) in the morning, |
|
|
They said: "Woe to us! Verily, we were Taghun (transgressors and disobedient, etc.) |
|
|
Such is the punishment (in this life), but truly, the punishment of the Hereafter is greater, if they but knew. |
|
|
Verily, for the Muttaqun (pious and righteous persons - see V.2:2) are Gardens of delight (Paradise) with their Lord. |
|
|
Shall We then treat the (submitting) Muslims like the Mujrimun (criminals, polytheists and disbelievers, etc.)? |
|
|
Or have they "partners"? Then let them bring their "partners" if they are truthful! |
|
|
(Remember) the Day when the Shin shall be laid bare (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) and they shall be called to prostrate (to Allah), but they (hypocrites) shall not be able to do so, |
|
|
Their eyes will be cast down, ignominy will cover them; they used to be called to prostrate (offer prayers), while they were healthy and good (in the life of the world, but they did not). |
|
|
Then leave Me Alone with such as belie this Qur'an. We shall punish them gradually from directions they perceive not. |
|
|
So wait with patience for the Decision of your Lord, and be not like the Companion of the Fish, when he cried out (to Us) while he was in deep sorrow. (See the Qur'an, Verse 21:87). |
From the verses above we can determine that Infidels who reject Muhammad and call him crazy are the following:
-Sinful/evil [68:12]
-Deniers [68:8]
-Transgressors [68:31]
-Liars [68:9-11]
-Mad [68:6]
-Criminals [68:35]
-Cruel [68:13]
Due to this list of abominable traits the Infidels should be destroyed and tortured in both this life and the next [68:33, 42-44]. Moslems should not associate with Christians who assign 'partners' with Al-Lah, namely the Holy Trinity [68:41, 18]. Muhammad does not like the fish followers. In concluding we can state:
“This Sura is thus a jumble-mash of irrelevant ideas. It first extols nuns, a group which do not exist in Islam. It then goes on to explain that those who follow Allah will enjoy delightful gardens in heaven full of food, water, wine and ease. It then admonishes the fish-followers that their end destination is destruction and eternal punishment, including of course the very same nuns which were given such a good press at the beginning of the Sura. Oh well. No one can make the claim that any part of this Sura or the Koran is ethical, sensible, rational or spiritual.”
A jumble mash of irrelevancy indeed.
