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 'Sure Reality' is that Infidels must be tortured and killed. In this Sura of 50 verses,only 38 are hate speech verses. The lines of supremacist hate against the Infidel are below.
As stated before this Sura simply continues the Koran's clarion call to eradicate all non-Moslems:
“The 'Sure Reality' is the oft-repeated and execrably well-worn call to submit to the Allah thing, and Islam. If you don't you are doomed! This is clearly stated in this rather disorganized Sura in the following verses, in which those who do not believe are chained, punished and killed:
“And he that will be given his Record in his left hand, ....Ah! Would that (Death) had made an end of me! Of no profit to me has been my wealth! My power has perished from me!....And you burn him in the Blazing Fire. Further make him march in a chain, whereof the length is seventy cubits! This was he that would not believe in Allah Most High,” [69:25,27,28,29,31,32,33]
Notice the hatred of wealth and the violence of the action. Chain him! Burn him! Damn him! The wealthy man seems condemned by the thing Allah due solely to his accretion of material assets. This is rather strange since Mohammed became fabulously rich from caravan plundering, theft of Jewish and Christian assets, taxes, booty from battle, and profits from slave trading. Would Mohammed thus be enchained, tortured and killed by the Allah? Since Mohammed did make offers to charity and to the indigent it is clear that the Allah thing, the great impersonal force which governs every object every second and every action and thought, would grant the Messenger a reprieve.”
Koranic theology is neither rational, nor moral. Muhammad, by his own injunctions was indeed a 'sinner'. In actual fact he was murdered by his own coterie who grew heartily tired of his 'revelations' and invocations of 'Allah'. The Moslems blame a Jewish nurse for his demise of course.

Thamud and 'Ad people denied the Qari'ah [the striking Hour (of Judgement)]! |
|
|
As for Thamud, they were destroyed by the awful cry! |
|
|
And as for 'Ad, they were destroyed by a furious violent wind; |
|
|
Which Allah imposed on them for seven nights and eight days in succession, so that you could see men lying overthrown (destroyed), as if they were hollow trunks of date-palms! |
|
|
Do you see any remnants of them? |
|
|
And Fir'aun (Pharaoh), and those before him, and the cities overthrown [the towns of the people of [Lout (Lot)] committed sin, |
|
|
And they disobeyed their Lord's Messenger, so He punished them with a strong punishment. |
|
|
Verily! When the water rose beyond its limits [Nuh's (Noah) Flood], We carried you (mankind) in the floating [ship that was constructed by Nuh (Noah)]. |
|
|
That We might make it a remembrance for you, and the keen ear (person) may (hear and) understand it. |
|
|
Then when the Trumpet will be blown with one blowing (the first one), |
|
|
And the earth and the mountains shall be removed from their places, and crushed with a single crushing, |
|
|
Then on that Day shall the (Great) Event befall, |
|
|
And the heaven will split asunder, for that Day it (the heaven will be frail (weak), and torn up, |
|
|
And the angels will be on its sides, and eight angels will, that Day, bear the Throne of your Lord above them. |
|
|
That Day shall you be brought to Judgement, not a secret of you will be hidden. |
|
|
Then as for him who will be given his Record in his right hand will say: "Take, read my Record! |
|
|
"Surely, I did believe that I shall meet my Account!" |
|
|
So he shall be in a life, well-pleasing. |
|
|
But as for him who will be given his Record in his left hand, will say: "I wish that I had not been given my Record! |
|
|
"And that I had never known, how my Account is? |
|
|
"I wish, would that it had been my end (death)! |
|
|
"My wealth has not availed me, |
|
|
"My power and arguments (to defend myself) have gone from me!" |
|
|
(It will be said): "Seize him and fetter him, |
|
|
Then throw him in the blazing Fire. |
|
|
"Then fasten him with a chain whereof the length is seventy cubits!" |
|
|
So no friend has he here this Day, |
|
|
Nor any food except filth from the washing of wounds, |
|
|
None will eat except the Khati'un (sinners, disbelievers, polytheists, etc.). |
|
|
We surely should have seized him by his right hand (or with power and might), |
|
|
And then certainly should have cut off his life artery (Aorta), |
|
|
And none of you could withhold Us from (punishing) him. |
|
|
And verily, this Qur'an is a Reminder for the Muttaqun (pious - see V.2:2). |
|
|
And verily, We know that there are some among you that belie (this Qur'an). [Tafsir At-Tabari, Vol. 29, Page 68] |
|
|
And indeed it (this Qur'an) will be an anguish for the disbelievers (on the Day of Resurrection). |
Pagan empires which did not submit to the Meccan moon deity destroyed. Non-Moslems given their 'record' to their left hand by the Allah-thing, thrown into hellfire. Moslems too pure and supremacist to mix with Infidels. The Koran the only organizing principle in life. Allah the Hub'Al Lord of Mecca angry, wrathful, full of vengeance and palpable hate. This is not a compilation of religious virtues and odes to the Golden Rule, tolerance, humanity, rationality and gratitude. It is simply a totalitarian demand to follow the cult, and if not, to await your certain doom at the hands of the unknowable, omnipotent family deity of Muhammad.
