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 70:
Total number of verses from Sura 2 to 70: 5288
Total number of verses in 2-70, which preach violence against non-Moslems: 1356
Violent verses as a % of total from Sura 2 to 70: 26 %
Sura 2 to 70 as a % of the 6346 verses in the Koran: 84%
Love, hope and change, along with humanism, free-will, tolerance and rationality, not to mention the Golden Rule do not mar this wonderful chapter of supremacist prose. This is the Koran after all. Out of 44 verses in this Sura, only 22 or half, engage in hate speech against non-Moslems. Surely this is moderate and civilized. One also finds in this Sura the sanction of slavery – for Moslems only of course. This is hardly surprising but it must be unsettling for the Moslemophiles who whine that Islam is civilization, and that all customs of Moslems are simply superior and sophisticated. The cult of Muhammad is in part a cult of slavery, and slavery of women and Infidels or less-pious Moslems is still widespread within Islam today, which only proves the thesis that Islam created the modern world.....
“Even Muslims who own slaves including sex-slaves will escape punishment from the moon idol Allah. The immorality of enslaving another human is thus 'gifted' by the Allah to his or its members. How convenient. Thus Mohammed who owned and traded in slaves; and who had at least 12 sex slaves for his sensual pleasure will be looked upon favourably by the dialectical force named Allah:
“And those who guard their chastity, Except with their wives and the (captives) whom their right hands possess, - for (then) they are not to be blamed,” [70:29, 30]
'Right hand possess' is a well known and often used assertion within the Koran and Islamic theology, giving the right of a man to possess sex slaves captured in war, or bought in the slave marketplace. The 'Right hand' denotes a form of legitimacy. The 'Left hand' in the Koran is always used to mean those in disfavour. Jews and Christians for example are depicted as receiving their 'record' of sin and blasphemy with their 'Left hands', thus consigning them to the Fire[s] of Hell.
Why I am so sure that Unbelievers in this Sura reference the followers of the 'Fish' preacher [to quote the Koran]? It is here in verse 43: “The Day whereon they will issue from their sepulchres in sudden haste as they were rushing to a goal post (fixed for them), - Their eyes lowered in dejection, - ignominy covering them (all over)! Such is the Day the which they are promised!” [70:43,44]
Not only is Muhammad's family deity Hub'Al or 'The One' [Al-Lah], decreeing that slavery is a valid, indeed respected part of his cult; but that the Christians or the fish followers, will be destroyed on the Day of Judgement, covered in ignominy, aware of their sinful state, and terrified of Allah's torture.
The hate speech editorials against the Christians and non-Moslems are as follows:
|
Upon the disbelievers, which none can avert, |
|
|
From Allah, the Lord of the ways of ascent. |
|
|
Verily! They see it (the torment) afar off, |
|
|
The Day that the sky will be like the boiling filth of oil, (or molten copper or silver or lead, etc.). |
|
|
Though they shall be made to see one another [(i.e. on the Day of Resurrection), there will be none but see his father, children and relatives, but he will neither speak to them nor will ask them for any help)], - the Mujrim, (criminal, sinner, disbeliever, etc.) would desire to ransom himself from the punishment of that Day by his children. |
|
|
By no means! Verily, it will be the Fire of Hell! |
|
|
Taking away (burning completely) the head skin! |
|
|
Calling: "[O Kafir (O disbeliever in Allah, His angels, His Book, His Messengers, Day of Resurrection and in Al-Qadar (Divine Preordainments), O Mushrik (O polytheist, disbeliever in the Oneness of Allah)] (all) such as turn their backs and turn away their faces (from Faith) [picking and swallowing them up from that great gathering of mankind (on the Day of Resurrection) just as a bird picks up a food-grain from the earth with its beak and swallows it up] [Tafsir Al-Qurtubi, Vol. 18, Page 289] |
|
|
And collect (wealth) and hide it (from spending it in the Cause of Allah). |
|
|
Verily, man (disbeliever) was created very impatient; |
|
|
Irritable (discontented) when evil touches him; |
|
|
And niggardly when good touches him;- |
|
|
Verily! The torment of their Lord is that before which none can feel secure, |
|
|
So what is the matter with those who disbelieve that they hasten to listen from you (O Muhammad SAW), in order tobelie you and to mock at you, and at Allah's Book (this Qur'an). |
|
|
(Sitting) in groups on the right and on the left (of you, O Muhammad SAW)? |
|
|
Does every man of them hope to enter the Paradise of delight? |
|
|
No, that is not like that! Verily, We have created them out of that which they know! |
|
|
So I swear by the Lord of all [the three hundred and sixty (360)] points of sunrise and sunset in the east and the west that surely We are Able |
|
|
To replace them by (others) better than them; and We are not to be outrun. |
|
|
So leave them to plunge in vain talk and play about, until they meet their Day which they are promised. |
|
|
The Day when they will come out of the graves quickly as racing to a goal, |
|
|
With their eyes lowered in fear and humility, ignominy covering them (all over)! That is the Day which they werepromised! |
The sentiment is rather clear. Moslems should read their handbook of cult diktats before crying that they are lovers of peace and inter-faith harmony. Christians and Kafirs are niggardly, evil, devious [70:37-38]; criminals, discontented, vain and boastful. For these and other 'sins' they will be punished by Allah in due time, on the Day of Judgement – an event which is an obsession with Muhammad and the Koran.
The culture of intolerance is apparent in this chapter purportedly about the 'ways of ascent' to the mighty divine thing the 'Lord' or El-Lah or Al-Lah. It is clear that Christians and other non-Moslems are fit only to drink the molten metal fashioned by Muhammad's family deity on the Day of Judgement [70:8]. A theology with the world split into two, is not a religion. A cult of extreme hate is not a religion. A political manifesto in which Moslems rule and the rest are slaves, including captured females, is nothing else but a doctrine of pre-iron age barbarism.
