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.
Mein Koran is a Jihadic document. There is no defensive ‘Jihad’. Jihad by definition is expansive, offensive, which is why the Muslim flag is ‘green’, meaning growing or expanding as with life during spring and the issuance of green foliage. The black and white flag of Jihad represents war and death to the Infidels, used by the legions of Arab Muslims in the 7th century and imitated in this century by ISIS and Boko Harem (Books are forbidden). Many Muslims preach offensive Jihad citing the Koran and the Muslim conquests between the 7th and 16th centuries. The entire point of Jihad is to conquer the globe for the Muhammandan cult.
Palestinian Islamic Scholar Dr. Mohammed Afeef Shadid: Our Goal is to Spread Islam throughout the Globe; We Will Liberate Palestine by the Sword, Kill All the Jews in It,” MEMRI, August 17, 2022.
Shadid rages:
Our goal is to spread the religion of Allah throughout the land. The verses from the Qur’anic chapters “The Repentance” [chapter nine] and “The Spoils of War” [chapter eight] completely abrogated the notion of defensive jihad. We constitute an offensive army. “Fight those who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day and who do not comply with what Allah and his messenger have forbidden.” [9:29] “Fight them until there is no more strife and religious (obedience) will be entirely for Allah.” [8:39] “Kill the polytheists wherever you may find them.” [9:5]
We did not set out from Medina to fight the Persian and Byzantine (empires) because they occupied and plundered our land, [but] to usher them into the abode of Islam and nothing else, and to spread the religion of Allah.
In the days of the Rightly-Guided Caliphs, the Islamic caliphate, the abode of Islam spanned six million square kilometers. Under the Umayyad state, it spanned eleven million square kilometers. In the days of the Abbasid state, it spanned 33 million square kilometers. Then, under the Ottoman caliphate, it spanned 10 million square kilometers. The second caliphate, which will rise soon, in our own days, inshallah, will reach 510 million square kilometers, which covers the entire globe. Palestine and the holy land will only be liberated by those who brandish their swords and their weapons in order to bring it back into the abode of Islam and, obviously, to kill all the Jews in it.
At least this particular preacher of Jihad is honest.
