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.
Out of 37 verses in this chapter only 17 are hate speech against Christians.
Sura 45 or 'Bowing the Knee' [to Muhammad aka Allah], warns the Jews and Christians of their impending desolation for eschewing and not following the cult of Mecca. 'Evil' is the Koran simply means any action which does not follow the rabid teachings of the supremacist-racist Muhammad, or which in any part whatsoever, rejects the dictums of 'Allah' whatever the Allah-thing might be. Evil is thus equated with anti-Moslem or Islamic thinking, action or belief. The Koran is quite clear that Shaitun is allied with Jews and Christians. Linking non-Moslems to evil makes it easier to kill them of course.
The following verses clearly support the aforementioned:
|
And you will see each nation humbled to their knees (kneeling), each nation will be called to its Record (of deeds). This Day you [Jews Christians] shall be recompensed for what you used to do. |
|
|
This Our Record speaks about you with truth. Verily, We were recording what you used to do (i.e. Our angels used to record your deeds). |
|
|
Then, as for those who believed (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism) and did righteous good deeds, their Lord will admit them to His Mercy. That will be the evident success. |
|
|
But as for those who disbelieved (it will be said to them): "Were not Our Verses recited to you? But you were proud, and you were a people who were Mujrimun (polytheists, disbelievers, sinners, criminals)." |
|
|
And when it was said: "Verily! Allah's Promise is the truth, and there is no doubt about the coming of the Hour," you said; "We know not what is the Hour, we do not think it but as a conjecture, and we have no firm convincing belief (therein)." |
|
|
And the evil of what they [Jews, Christians, Unbelievers] did will appear to them, and they will be completely encircled by that which they used to mock at! |
|
|
And it will be said: "This Day We will forget you as you forgot the Meeting of this Day of yours. And your abode is the Fire, and there is none [ie. Christ, intercessors] to help you." |
Christians are to be destroyed in hell because they mocked the Qur'an, jeered at Muhammad, and rejected Islamic or moon-cult theology.
This warning is repeated in verses 8-11. Jews and Christians were given the 'right path' in the days of Abraham and down to Christ, but they perverted the 'word' of the Allah-thing and did not follow Qur'anic 'law'. Considering that the Koran was not formerly fabricated until after Muhammad's death and some 600 years after Christ, that would probably be sensible. It is difficult to follow a doctrine which is uncodified and in large part, uncreated. But for Moslems that is not the important issue. The vital point is that the Jews and Christians are evil because they rejected the Allah-thing and his demands:
45:15 Whosoever does a good deed [ie Follows Islamic Monotheism], it is for his ownself, and whosoever does evil [ie rejects Islam], it is against (his ownself). Then to your Lord you will be made to return
45:16 And indeed We gave the Children of Israel the Scripture, and the understanding of the Scripture and its laws, and the Prophethood; and provided them with good things, and preferred them above the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns) (of their time, during that period),
45:17 And gave them clear proofs in matters [by revealing to them the Taurat (Torah)]. And they differed not until after the knowledge came to them, through envy among themselves. Verily, Your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection about that wherein they used to differ.
45:18 Then We have put you (O Muhammad SAW) on a plain way of (Our) commandment [like the one which We commanded Our Messengers before you [eg. Christ] (i.e. legal ways and laws of the Islamic Monotheism)]. So follow you that (Islamic Monotheism and its laws), and follow not the desires of those who know not. [Tafsir At-Tabari Vol. 25, Page 146].
45:19 Verily, they [Trinity, intercessors, saints etc.] can avail you nothing against Allah (if He wants to punish you). Verily, the Zalimun (polytheists, wrong-doers, etc.) are Auliya' (protectors, helpers, etc.) to one another, but Allah is the Wali (Helper, Protector, etc.) of the Muttaqun (pious - see V.2:2).
Jews and Christians have no 'help' either from each other, or from their 'protectors' because the omnipotent Allah will destroy them. By extension the entire cadre of Jewish-Christian theology means nothing and has no power.
45:35 This, because you [Jews, Christians] took the revelations of Allah (this Qur'an) in mockery, and the life of the world deceived you. So this Day, they [Unbelievers] shall not be taken out from there (Hell) nor shall they be Yusta'tabun (i.e. they shall not return to the worldly life, so that they repent to Allah, and beg His Pardon for their sins).
In the fervid Moslem mind the Qur'an is the 'first' and only 'book'. Jews and Christians have taken the word of the Allah-thing and corrupted it and followed the wrong or non-sharia path. This is evil and evil in the Qur'an is met with destruction.
