Koranic madness always amuses. Sura 71 or 'Noah' claims that the chosen saviour of animal life, in the face of 'Gods' wrath and great flood to cleanse the earth [or more prosaically the rise of the Atlantic due to the end of the last ice age, and the subsequent flooding of the Mediterranean and Black Sea basins]; was of course a Moslem. Noah the happy follower of Hub'Al, the moon Lord of Mecca or the ilah of Muhammad's family and home-town. How obviously truthful and scientific ! The Koran never lies, it is the immutable 'word of God'.

After a good bout of wine imbibing perhaps, Noah becomes a 'warner' for the Allah thing. Muhammad's 'Lord' was only created as a pagan monotheocracy some 9000 years after the ending of the Ice Age. Noah is of course a myth of the Eastern Mediterranean world, one found in all cultures, which tries to explain the walls of water which wiped out neolithic villages and life around the Mediterranean world at the end of the last major Ice Age. Noah has nothing whatsoever to do with Islam.

Noah after a few bottles, was apparently screaming to his 'people' that they must follow the Allah thing. Neolithic cultures worshipped many Gods, celestial, water, fertility, tribal and household. It is unlikely that 'Allah' was amongst the idols venerated. But Muhammad's mad cult, looking for gravitas and historical relevance appropriates the Noah story and inserts the moon deity as the chief God of Noah and his people. Historically, viewed objectively, this is simply absurd.

But the madness in the Koran is never confined to a single thematic. Out of 28 verses in this chapter, only 10 are hate speech verses, or a cool 35%. The verses are: 1, 6, 13, 21, 22, and 24-28. The hate speech verses link Noah as an example of a 'warner', with Muhammad who is of course also a 'warner'. Both men struggle to convince rebellious, sinful, criminal people to follow the true path of Allah. The reward for rejecting the 'warners' is of course to be punished and destroyed by the moon deity of Mecca.

In Koranic fantasy Noah is clutching a wine bottle in one hand and beseeching Muhammad's family deity with the other; begging the Allah-thing to kill every last single Unbeliever. How tolerant and rational. He need not have worried of course. 71:23-25 make it clear that those who do not follow the moon cult of Muhammad are doomed anyways.

The second great theme of the Koran, after Jihad and violence against non-cult members is slavery. Allah loves his little worthless, shapeless, lifeless, pliant and ignorant slaves. But the slaves if left to themselves will be 'led astray' by wicked Jews and Christians. They therefore need to follow the 'warners' like Noah and Muhammad and obey their every command. The Warners rule, the slaves follow:

The whole point of a cult is to breed more cult members. The more you breed the stronger you can become. But we have a problem. The human slave is too witless [or criminal, rebellious, greedy, wicked], to be left alone. They might not follow. They might think. They might act. They might reject. So they need to be coerced into following a 'great man' and this 'warner' must be a slave of Allah. A hierarchy of free-will denying irrationality and submission is what Allah desires. If you give the human any freedom of will, association, or rationality whatsoever, he will choose the wrong path. So spake Allah. The worthless human must be organized, disciplined, watched, and led.

This is clearly a Bronze-age mentality. I wonder if the big brains of the multi-cult world append the word religious to the moon cults and hono-theisms of ancient Sumeria and Babylonia as well ? Cults which were rife with infanticide, female abuse, polygamy, illiteracy, mysticisms and imbued with irrational rituals and prostrations ? Such attitudes inform and still suffuse the Islam of today.
