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.
Sura 62 or 'The Friday Prayer' is a cult ritual imposed on Moslems who must observe both the magnificence of the 'Lord' ilah; and Muhammad. The Hadiths for example, go into painful detail on how Muhammad prayed, what his body position was like, what rituals he followed, what he mumbled and even when he fell asleep bored by his own supposed devotion one supposes. The Friday prayer is a ritual, which by itself might not be so bad – except of course that the handbook is called Recital, the Koran, a pagan-fascist document of the worst variety imaginable.
The Friday prayer is about humbling yourself to the Al-Lah thing, or 'The One' [Hub'Al the moon deity was the 'one' when Muhammad was born]. Humiliation in Islam is derived from its theme of slavery. There is no free will in Islam. 62:3 and 4 make that clear.
|
And He has sent him (Prophet Muhammad SAW) also to others among them (Muslims) who have not yet joined them (but they will come). And He (Allah) is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. |
|
|
That is the Grace of Allah, which He bestows on whom He wills. And Allah is the Owner of Mighty Grace. |
This Allah thing, or Muhammad's creation, will grant grace to whom He wills. The human has no free will, or natural law rights. All will and all 'rights' rest with Allah. The human, the useless 'sperm clot' to quote the Koran, only has a duty to obey, follow, recite and submit [Islam]. The theology of Muhammad by definition and structure negates human worth and freedom. Be a slave. That is what the Koran states.
The other major theme of this verse and the Koran, is of course supremacist violence against Unbelievers. Out of 11 verses in this Sura,only 4 or more than 1/3 advocate intolerance and violence against the Unbeliever. This is deemed moderation by the Marxists. The hate speech verses are: 5, 6, 7, and 8. They warn the Jews, who are likened to donkeys, of their doom:
|
The likeness of those who were entrusted with the (obligation of the) Taurat (Torah) (i.e. to obey its commandments and to practise its legal laws), but who subsequently failed in those (obligations), is as the likeness of a donkey who carries huge burdens of books (but understands nothing from them). How bad is the example (or the likeness) of people who deny the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah. And Allah guides not the people who are Zalimun (polytheists, wrong-doers, disbelievers, etc.). |
|
|
Say (O Muhammad SAW): "O you Jews! If you pretend that you are friends of Allah, to the exclusion of (all) other mankind, then long for death if you are truthful." |
|
|
But they will never long for it (death), because of what (deeds) their hands have sent before them! And Allah knows well the Zalimun (polytheists, wrong-doers, disbelievers, etc.). |
|
|
Say (to them): "Verily, the death from which you flee will surely meet you, then you will be sent back to (Allah), the All-Knower of the unseen and the seen, and He will tell you what you used to do." |
Violence and racism [Jew hatred], is now determined to be tolerance, love and inter-faith harmony by big brains.
The pre-requisite of Muhammad's cult is simple: be a good slave to the fabricated and bronze-age initiated cult of 'the One'. There is no discussion in Sura 62, or within the entirety of the Koran about human worth illustrated by free-will, faith through reason, the Golden rule, or rationality informing the spiritual. Koranic dogma is typical of the late Bronze and Iron ages – shut up and submit.
