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 words 'slaves' and 'slave' are only found on 335 pages or about 80% of the Koran. These terms only comprise 5% of the verses out the Koranic total of 6236. A question to Moslems is this: since when do religions demand 'slavery' negating free-will, rationality, faith through reason and the liberation of the mind, body and soul ?
Sura 6 reviewed here, is rather obsessed with violence against those who will not be the slaves of Muhammad and his idol the Al-Lah or 'The One'.
“But those who reject our Signs – punishment shall touch them, for they did not cease from transgressing.” [6:49]
Only 15 % of this Sura preaches hate and violence against the Infidel. A large part of the rest demands submission to Muhammad. Be a good slave, the Al-Lah demands it, since he is the omniscient supernatural power, high above you:
|
And He is the Irresistible, above His slaves, and He is the All-Wise, Well Acquainted with all things. |
|
|
He is the Irresistible, Supreme over His slaves, and He sends guardians (angels guarding and writing all of one's good and bad deeds) over you until when death approaches one of you, Our Messengers (angel of death and his assistants) take his soul, and they never neglect their duty. |
|
|
This is the Guidance of Allah with which He guides whomsoever He will of His slaves. But if they had joined in worship others with Allah, all that they used to do would have been of no benefit to them. |
Verse 6:88 is an obvious repudiation of free-will. Muhammad's family deity and the Meccan moon idol the El-Lah, whose antecedents traverse back in time through Hub'Al, Ba'Al and Sin of Babylonia, is the only creation in the universe with free-will. He or it, 'guides whomsoever He will of His slaves'. This is a remarkably direct testimony negating the individual's humanity, rationality and ability to act. It leads to pre-destination and the moral issue that Al-Lah is the only 'judge' who will determine your fate both in this life, and in the next. Logically, in order to please this deity, you must strictly follow his program or face the consequences:
6-39: Those who reject Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) are deaf and dumb in darkness. Allah sends astraywhom He wills and He guides on the Straight Path whom He wills.
6-43: When Our Torment reached them, why then did they not believe with humility? But their hearts became hardened, and Shaitan (Satan) made fairseeming to them that which they used to do.
This is a frightening dogma. The individual is now a part of the communal cult. Even inquiring about the cult's document [or Koran]; Muhammad's leadership, or trying to understand what this Al-Lah thing is, can lead to your destruction:
6-124: And when there comes to them a sign (from Allah) they say: "We shall not believe until we receive the like of that which the Messengers of Allah had received." Allah knows best with whom to place His Message. Humiliation and disgrace from Allah and a severe torment will overtake the criminals (polytheists, sinners, etc.) for that which they used to plot.
6-130: O you assembly of jinns and mankind! "Did not there come to you Messengers from amongst you, reciting unto you My Verses and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?" They will say: "We bear witness against ourselves." It was the life of this world that deceived them. And they will bear witness against themselves that they were disbelievers.
In the Koran, the main criminals are Jews, Christians and pagan Arabs who reject all, or part of the Koranic cult's injunctions, including the 'prophet-hood' of Muhammad. This is clear from Sura 6 which spends an inordinate amount of time warning humans to simply follow Koranic theology, and going into lurid detail as to their destruction in this life and the next, if they don't.
A fair question to ask, centres of this theological demand for 'slaves'. Slavery by itself promotes abnegation, illiteracy, lethargy and ignorance. Since when does a 'religion' promote anti-humanist ideals ?
