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 frowning Muhammad. To frown is to portray disappointment, hint at anger, and show impatience. Muhammad, has no interest in the preachings and teachings of non-Moslems. Only he has the divine answer, embedded in the Koran and the sanction of his alter-ego personality the Al-Lah idol, or male moon deity [the Lord] of Mecca. An infidel interrupting and importuning Muhammad is simply not to be countenanced:
|
(The Prophet (Peace be upon him)) frowned and turned away, |
|
|
Because there came to him the blind man (i.e. 'Abdullah bin Umm-Maktum, who came to the Prophet (Peace be upon him) while he was preaching to one or some of the Quraish chiefs). |
|
|
But what could tell you that per chance he might become pure (from sins)? |
|
|
Or that he might receive admonition, and that the admonition might profit him? |
The corroded, infected and sinful Infidel, dared to approach the busy Muhammad while he was preaching. A frowning event indeed. Muhammad and his cult followers have nothing to learn from Infidels. The opposite of course does not apply. The Infidel rejecting the 'admonition' and 'profit' of Islam will be damned.
If the Infidel for example dares to frown, full of pride and disbelieving criminality, at the teachings of Muhammad they will be sentenced on the Day of Judgement. In the Koran, which seems rather obsessed with the end of time, Judgement Day is the penultimate assignment of rewards and punishments. The pious Muslim, not the good, the moral, the gracious, the dignified, the Golden-Rule practising Muslim [none of these attributes exist in the Koran], but simply the pious, prostrated, irrational believer of the Allah cult will be rewarded. All Infidels will be 'covered in 'Blackness'. Infidels will not only be covered in blackness, but they will be punished, humiliated, and tortured for eternity. Infidelophobia?
Out of 40 verses in this Sura only 10 preach hate speech against the Infidel.
|
Be cursed (the disbelieving) man! How ungrateful he is! |
|
|
Then, when it is His Will [Allah], He will resurrect him (again). |
|
|
Then, when there comes As-Sakhkhah (the Day of Resurrection's second blowing of Trumpet), |
|
|
That Day shall a man flee from his brother, |
|
|
And from his mother and his father, |
|
|
And from his wife and his children. |
|
|
Everyman, that Day, will have enough to make him careless of others. |
|
|
And other faces, that Day, will be dust-stained; |
|
|
Darkness will cover them, |
|
|
Such will be the Kafarah (disbelievers in Allah, in His Oneness, and in His Messenger Muhammad (Peace be upon him), etc.), the Fajarah (wicked evil doers). |
The Kafarah, the Fajarah, or wicked criminals meaning non-Moslems, will be destroyed. They can try to run, hide and seek forgiveness, but nothing will avail them or save them. The disbelieving man is simply cursed [80:17]. His doom inevitable. There is no linkage here of paradise with a set of ethical and religious commandments. The injunction is far simpler and sinister. Obey Muhammad, and the Koran, fear Allah, and then perhaps you might be saved on Judgement Day. If you resist Islam you are damned. Such a theme informs a poli-theocratic cult, not a religion.
