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.
The Fatah party of the so-called moderate Arabs who squat on Jewish land in various parts of Israel, is named after this chapter. Fatah or victory is a pretty clear statement isn't it ? One does not have to engage in tortured metaphysical and inane philosophical musings to arrive at the proper conclusion of what this word signifies. Victory is a rather black and white concept. Apparently winning does not come in shades of Marxist grey. Victory over the Jew. Victory over the infidel. Victory of Allah over all ideologies. Victory of Islam in controlling all mankind. Victory meaning domination by the Muslims of every race and state on the globe. The intent of the word is obvious. This chapter nicely sums up the entire purpose of the Koran.
Only the very smart and 'nuanced' people, who belong to the cultural Marxist cult, and who were educated at a high priced university, are able to miss the obvious intent behind the word Victory. None of these people have ever read this chapter however. Even Orwellian illogicality and the bromides of cultural relativity imbecility, can't hide or twist what the words state. Not even the psycho-babble of the mainstream media, or the Oprah Winfrey-baffle gab set, can hide what the Arabs have written in this Sura. You can't blame the Jews, or the infidel translator for phrases like this:
“And that He may punish the Hypocrites, men and women, and the Polytheists, men and women, who imagine an evil opinion of Allah. On them is a round of Evil: the Wrath of Allah is on them: He has cursed them and got Hell ready for them: and evil is it for a destination.” [48:6]
Is that clear enough ? Or do we need a 34 year old Phd student, still studying Wittgenstein, to interpret it for us ? Or perhaps a Human Rights censor instead ?
Hypocrites are of course Jews and Christians. In Islamic insaneology these two groups are really Muslims who left the right path or Sharia and bastardized the true faith of Allah, the Meccan moon deity. Thus Islam is the 'only true' form of monotheism. Polytheists would include Arabs and other pagan worshipers who refused to bow down before the one single deity of Ali-ilah who was simply the male moon deity of Mecca and one 'guarded' and worshiped by Mohammed's family. Polytheists probably had more sense than to submit themselves to one moon God who for millennium, was no better and no more elevated than the other celestial Gods, or the deities which inhabited Mother Earth.
Hell it is for any who even dare criticize the moon deity ! How tolerant. Allah is not only, “Exhalted in Power, full of Wisdom.” [48:6] but his 'messenger' the illiterate military and political leader Mohammed, is to be worshipped as well, “In order that you (O men) may believe in Allah and His Messenger, that you may assist and honor Him, and celebrate His praises morning and evening.” [48:9] This seems rather curious. Not only is this Allah to be revered, but so too is his only conduit on earth, the middle aged brigand Mohammed. This appears to be a little too convenient a statement issued by Mohammed – in modern parlance one might state that it is 'a conflict of interest.'
And woe betide those who disagree with anything the 'messenger' says or does. Hell is your final abode, “And if any do not believe in Allah and His Messenger, We have prepared, for the Unbelievers, a Blazing Fire!” [48:13] That sounds tolerant. So if an illiterate like Mohammed, who went insane [according to the Hadiths], at age 40 says something, than that is fine and good, and the statement or belief must be followed ? This is irrational and negates reason, inquiry and common-sense.
However, if you do follow the madness of Mohammed, and submit yourself as a slave to the Allah-cult, you will of course, be amply rewarded; “..but he that obeys Allah and His Messenger, - (Allah) will admit him to Gardens beneath which rivers flow; and he who turns back (Allah) will punish him with a grievous penalty.” [48:17] This seems rather clear. I am not sure where the complicated, nuanced philosophy comes into play. Obey and get the babes, wine and flowing waters of a rich afterlife. Disobey and go to Hell. Clear.
But the real point of the chapter is victory and eventual rule over the entire world. Allah, the moon deity, the unknowable and inchoate Arab 'God', has already guaranteed this; “Allah has promised you many gains that you shall acquire, and He has given you these beforehand; and He has restrained the hands of men from you: that it may be a Sign for the Believers, and that He may guide you to a Straight Path; .... It is He Who has sent his Messenger with Guidance and the Religion of Truth, to proclaim it over all religion: and enough is Allah for a witness.” [48:20, 28]
Believe in the Arab moon cult and victory over all other religions is yours. Ask yourself this. What 'faith' talks about the subjugation of all other faiths ? There is no talk here of conversions by preaching, or through the expostulation of a superior moral code. There is no moral or ethical code in the Koran. None. Not one single verse even contains the Golden Rule. Without this, no ideology can claim a status of a religion. The Koran and this Sura advise that war and violence is the only way to spread the fatalistic destiny of the Allah-moon cult:
“He forgives whom He wills, and He punishes whom He wills: but Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful....when you (are free to) march and take booty (in war)..The if you show obedience Allah will grant you a goodly reward, but if you turn back as you did before, He will punish you with a grievous penalty.” [48:14,15,16]
The Arab moon cult is fatalist. Allah decides all. You have no free-will, ability to reason, nor the capability to manage your own affairs. The moon deity determines all. War is justified and so is the taking of plunder, which is of course how Mohammed acquired his wealth and power. Importantly if you don't war, and don't plunder the infidel and spread Islam by the sword in the imitation of its founder, you will be punished. If you 'turn back' from battle and war with the unbelievers you will suffer, 'a grievous penalty'; namely, eternal hellfire. Peaceful ? Moderate ? Empathetic ? Only in the diseased minds of cultural relativists.
For the pious Koranic follower it is only victory which counts. Not the 'victory against all odds' emotional peroration of Churchill in a call for self-defence and possible self-sacrifice in the name of freedom. But rather victory against all other religions and victory over the non-believers. This is violent supremacism in clear, bold language. Arab supremacist theology is not a faith nor a religion of ethical piety. It is just another age – old fascistic paganism as absurd and anti-humanist as anything that modern socialism or Marxism has concocted.
