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.
Probably the best 8 minute video on the Koran I have ever seen. Presented by Koran expert David Wood, a man who sends the appeasers, Moslem-lovers, moon cult members and various Church figures into apoplexy. He lays out why the Moslems of ISIS, usually portrayed as 'angry youth', are simply following the Koran and implementing Sharia law.
Wood also explains why the later 'Allah' [aka Muhammad] 'revelations' about slaying, slaughtering, killing, murdering the Jews, Christians and less-than-pious Moslems; supersede the 2 or 3 apocryphal phrases of 'niceness' that the media and quackademics chatter so much about. The famous 2:256 verse of 'no compulsion in religion' is a fiction if you read the entirety of Sura 2 and what follows 2:256. There certainly is a lot of compulsion in Islam. 1400 years of Jihad prove that.
Key Koranic Sura and verses identified by Wood and recommended reading for anyone who cares a whit about civilization are below. Please read them and understand them and use them in argumentation and 'dialogue' with the nitwits of the multi-cult.
