Western Civilisation

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.

Lots of compulsion in Sura 2.

Infidels are damned so kill them, attack them, hate them.....

by Ferdinand III


 

 

15 % of this Sura preaches violence, hate and war against non-Moslems.


216: Jihad (holy fighting in Allah's Cause) is ordained for you (Muslims) though you dislike it, and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allah knows but you do not know.


Sura 2 'The Heifer' is the longest Sura and conforms to the standard Koranic chapter in theme and intent. 'The Heifer' is referenced part way into the Sura as a male bull or cow to be sacrificed in a halal or 'clean' fashion. The laws of Moslem food preparation thus imitate those of far more ancient Jewish practices. Indeed Sura 2 reads like an Old Testament chapter setting out laws, do's and do not's, and approved rituals. Much of the Koran is copied of course from Judaic and Christian texts, with falsities, lies, distortions and egregious mistakes suffusing the plagiarized and stolen canons.


The most remarkable aspect of Sura 2 is however, its violence against non-Moslems. There are 286 verses in this chapter and fully 15% or 44 verses discuss violence, hatred and war against non-Moslems. This is rather disconcerting to those who fervently believe that Islam is love and hope. The Manichean quality of this Sura is however, entirely consistent with the Koran as a whole in which 10% or more of the book discusses Hellfire for Infidels and another 10% or more adjures violence and war against non-Moslems. Another 30 % is anti-Semitic. The Infidel seems to be the most important preoccupation for Muhammad and his cult – or rather the destruction of the Infidel either in this life or in the next.


Sura 2 the longest chapter in the Koran, stokes supremacist and even racist hate against the non-Moslem. Cults must of course demonize the 'other'. The Koran uses words such as mushrikun, zalimun, fasiqun, mufsidun, and musrifun; or criminal, unclean, hypocrites, evil, wrong-doers, satanic and other appellations to cleave the world into 2 camps. The good people of this world are with Muhammad [or the ilah or 'one' which is the same as Muhammad]. The bad people are the criminals, the polytheists, the Jews, the Christians and those who reject the Allah cult. These 'stupid', 'blind' and 'greedy' people are categorized under various names, labels and unsavoury descriptions and warred against.


Sura 2's 44 verses of violence against the Unbeliever are given below. This is 15 % of the text and there can be no mistake, no 'mistranslation', no 'relativity' in what they promote. The corpus of these verses is slanderous, vicious, and incites Moslems to murder or at least ostracize those who are 'Unbelievers'. The Koran is clear – follow Muhammad or pay a price in this life and in the afterlife when the 'unclean' unbelieving non-Moslem enters the 'hellfire'. Sura 2's violence can be summarized in 4 parts; 1) War against the hated Infidel; 2) Hellfire is their ultimate destination because, 3) Allah hates the Unbelievers and 4) They are dumb, stupid, ignorant, greedy.....[bold and notes are mine].


1) War against them: 9 verses

190: And fight in the Way of Allah those who fight you, but transgress not the limits. Truly, Allah likes not the transgressors.

 

Note: This Verse is the first one that was revealed in connection with Jihad, but it was supplemented by another (V.9:36)]. 'Transgress' is hard to delineate since if you keep reading below there seems to be very few 'limits' to fighting and killing the Unbeliever.....

 

191: And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah is worse than killing. And fight not with them at Al-Masjid-al-Haram (the sanctuary at Makkah), unless they (first) fight you there. But if they attack you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.

 

193: And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbeliefand worshipping of others along with Allah) and (all and every kind of) worship is for Allah (Alone). But if they cease, let there be no transgression except against Az-Zalimun (the polytheists, and wrong-doers, etc.)

 

216: Jihad (holy fighting in Allah's Cause) is ordained for you(Muslims) though you dislike it, and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allah knows but you do not know.

 

217: They ask you concerning fighting in the Sacred Months (i.e. 1st, 7th, 11th and 12th months of the Islamic calendar). Say, "Fighting therein is a great (transgression) but a greater (transgression) with Allah is to prevent mankind from following the Way of Allah, to disbelieve in Him, to prevent access to Al-Masjid-al-Haram (at Makkah), and to drive out its inhabitants, and Al-Fitnah is worse than killing. And they will never cease fighting you until they turn you back from your religion (Islamic Monotheism) if they can. And whosoever of you turns back from his religion and dies as a disbeliever, then his deeds will be lost in this life and in the Hereafter, and they will be the dwellers of the Fire. They will abide therein forever."

 

218: Verily, those who have believed, and those who have emigrated (for Allah's Religion) and have striven hard in the Way of Allah, all these hope for Allah's Mercy. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most-Merciful.

 

244: And fight in the Way of Allah and know that Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower.

 

246: Have you not thought about the group of the Children of Israel after (the time of) Musa (Moses)? When they said to a Prophet of theirs, "Appoint for us a king and we will fight in Allah's Way." He said, "Would you then refrain from fighting, if fighting was prescribed for you?" They said, "Why should we not fight in Allah's Way while we have been driven out of our homes and our children (families have been taken as captives)?" But when fighting was ordered for them, they turned away, all except a few of them. And Allah is All-Aware of the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers).

Note: This might reference self-defence, but the main point is that when Allah tells you to fight, you must, and if you make excuses or 'turn away', you are a Zalimun or wrong-doer.

 

249: Then when Talut (Saul) set out with the army, he said: "Verily! Allah will try you by a river. So whoever drinks thereof, he is not of me, and whoever tastes it not, he is of me, except him who takes (thereof) in the hollow of his hand." Yet, they drank thereof, all, except a few of them. So when he had crossed it (the river), he and those who believed with him, they said: "We have no power this day against Jalut (Goliath) and his hosts." But those who knew with certainty that they were to meet their Lord, said: "How often a small group overcame a mighty host by Allah's Leave?" And Allah is with As-Sabirin (the patient ones, etc.).

Note: Allah will support those who fight on his behalf no matter how weak they might appear to be versus their enemies. The above verse pillages the story of David and Goliath to link the Muhammadan struggle with a battle between the ancient Hebrews and Philistines some 1650 years earlier.


2) Hellfire is where the Unbelievers will end up: 12 verses

39: But those who disbelieve and belie Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) such are the dwellers of the Fire, they shall abide therein forever.

 

81: Yes! Whosoever earns evil and his sin has surrounded him, they are dwellers of the Fire (i.e. Hell); they will dwell therein forever.

 

85: After this, it is you who kill one another and drive out a party of you from their homes, assist (their enemies) against them, in sin and transgression. And if they come to you as captives, you ransom them, although their expulsion was forbidden to you. Then do you believe in a part of the Scripture and reject the rest? Then what is the recompense of those who do so among you, except disgrace in the life of this world, and on the Day of Resurrection they shall be consigned to the most grievous torment. And Allah is not unaware of what you do.

 

104: O you who believe! Say not (to the Messenger Peace be upon him) Ra'ina but say Unzurna (Do make us understand) and hear. And for the disbelievers there is a painful torment. (See Verse 4:46)

 

126: And (remember) when Ibrahim (Abraham) said, "My Lord, make this city (Makkah) a place of security and provide its people with fruits, such of them as believe in Allah and the Last Day." He (Allah) answered: "As for him who disbelieves, I shall leave him in contentment for a while, then I shall compel him to the torment of the Fire, and worst indeed is that destination!"

 

162: They will abide therein (under the curse in Hell), theirpunishment will neither be lightened, nor will they be reprieved.

 

167: And those who followed will say: "If only we had one more chance to return (to the worldly life), we would disown (declare ourselves as innocent from) them as they have disowned (declared themselves as innocent from) us." Thus Allah will show them their deeds as regrets for them. And they will never get out of the Fire.

 

174Verily, those who conceal what Allah has sent down of the Book, and purchase a small gain therewith (of worldly things), they eat into their bellies nothing but fire. Allah will not speak to them on the Day of Resurrection, nor purify them, and theirs will be a painful torment.

 

175: Those are they who have purchased error at the price of Guidance, and torment at the price of Forgiveness. So how bold they are (for evil deeds which will push them) to the Fire.

 

206: And when it is said to him, "Fear Allah", he is led by arrogance to (more) crime. So enough for him is Hell, and worst indeed is that place to rest!

 

211: Ask the Children of Israel how many clear Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) We gave them. And whoever changes Allah's Favour after it had come to him, [e.g. renounces the Religion of Allah (Islam) and accepts Kufr (disbelief),] then surely, Allah is Severe in punishment.

 

257: Allah is the Wali (Protector or Guardian) of those who believe. He brings them out from darkness into light. But as for those who disbelieve, their Auliya (supporters and helpers) are Taghut [false deities and false leaders, etc.], they bring them out from light into darkness. Those are the dwellers of the Fire, and they will abide therein forever.


3) Allah controls and hates the Unbelievers – especially Jews: 15 verses

7: Allah has set a seal on their hearts and on their hearings, (i.e. they are closed from accepting Allah's Guidance), and on their eyes there is a covering. Theirs will be a great torment.

Note: 'They' or theirs means Unbelievers.

 

10: In their hearts is a disease (of doubt and hypocrisy) and Allah has increased their disease. A painful torment is theirs because they used to tell lies.

 

19: Or like a rainstorm from the sky, wherein is darkness, thunder, and lightning. They thrust their fingers in their ears to keep out the stunning thunderclap for fear of death. But Allah ever encompasses the disbelievers (i.e. Allah will gather them all together).

Note: He gathers them together for punishment on the Day of Judgement.

 

20: The lightning almost snatches away their sight, whenever it flashes for them, they walk therein, and when darkness covers them, they stand still. And if Allah willed, He could have taken away their hearing and their sight. Certainly, Allah has power over all things.

Note: Allah is the only free-will force in the Universe, he controls all including Unbelievers.

 

24: But if you do it not, and you can never do it, then fear the Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.

 

88: And they say, "Our hearts are wrapped (i.e. do not hear or understand Allah's Word)." Nay, Allah has cursed them for their disbelief, so little is that which they believe.

 

89: And when there came to them (the Jews), a Book (this Qur'an) from Allah confirming what is with them [the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)], although aforetime they had invoked Allah (for coming of Muhammad Peace be upon him) in order to gain victory over those who disbelieved, then when there came to them that which they had recognised, they disbelieved in it. So let the Curse of Allah be on the disbelievers.

 

90: How bad is that for which they have sold their ownselves, that they should disbelieve in that which Allah has revealed (the Qur'an), grudging that Allah should reveal of His Grace unto whom He will of His slaves. So they have drawn on themselves wrath upon wrath. And for the disbelievers, there is disgracing torment.

 

98: "Whoever is an enemy to Allah, His Angels, His Messengers, Jibrael (Gabriel) and Mikael (Michael), then verily, Allah is an enemy to the disbelievers."

 

100: Is it not (the case) that every time they make a covenant, some party among them throw it aside? Nay! the truth is most of them believe not.

 

134: That was a nation who has passed awayThey shall receive the reward of what they earned and you of what you earn. And you will not be asked of what they used to do.

 

159Verily, those who conceal the clear proofs, evidences and the guidance, which We have sent down, after We have made it clear for the people in the Book, they are the ones cursed by Allah and cursed by the cursers.

 

161: Verily, those who disbelieve, and die while they are disbelievers, it is they on whom is the Curse of Allah and of the angels and of mankind, combined.

 

176That is because Allah has sent down the Book (the Qur'an) in truth. And verily, those who disputed as regards the Book are far away in opposition.

 

276: Allah will destroy Riba (usury) and will give increase for Sadaqat (deeds of charity, alms, etc.) And Allah likes not the disbelievers, sinners.

Note: Jews were of course the most prolific of money lenders with interest.


4) Unbelievers are dumb, stupid, ignorant, greedy....:8 verses

15: Allah mocks at them and gives them increase in their wrong-doings to wander blindly.

Note: What 'God' or 'one' mocks a human if not to demonize them and punish them?

 

18: They are deaf, dumb, and blind, so they return not (to the Right Path).

Note: They are Jews, Christians and pagans.

 

65: And indeed you knew those amongst you who transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath (i.e. Saturday). We said to them: "Be you monkeys, despised and rejected."

Note: This references the Jews.

 

96: And verily, you will find them (the Jews) the greediest of mankind for life and (even greedier) than those who - ascribe partners to Allah (and do not believe in Resurrection - Magians, pagans, and idolaters, etc.). Everyone of them wishes that he could be given a life of a thousand years. But the grant of such life will not save him even a little from (due) punishment. And Allah is All-Seer of what they do.

 

171: And the example of those who disbelieve, is as that of him who shouts to the (flock of sheep) that hears nothing but calls and cries. (They are) deaf, dumb and blind. So they do not understand.

 

208: O you who believe! Enter perfectly in Islam (by obeying all the rules and regulations of the Islamic religion) and follow not the footsteps of Shaitan (Satan). Verily! He is to you a plain enemy.

Note: throughout the Koran, Jews and Christians are linked to Shaitan and the demonic rejection of Koranic truth and Allah ordained 'veracity'.

 

221: And do not marry Al-Mushrikat (idolatresses, etc.) till they believe (worship Allah Alone). And indeed a slave woman who believes is better than a (free) Mushrikah (idolatress, etc.), even though she pleases you. And give not (your daughters) in marriage to Al-Mushrikun till they believe (in Allah Alone) and verily, a believing slave is better than a (free) Mushrik (idolater, etc.), even though he pleases you. Those (Al-Mushrikun) invite you to the Fire, but Allah invites (you) to Paradise and Forgiveness by His Leave, and makes His Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) clear to mankind that they may remember.

Note: A classic cult prescription and prohibition – only 'believing' women are 'clean' enough to marry. Infidel women can of course be raped, sold into slavery, used etc.

 

275: Those who eat Riba (usury) will not stand (on the Day of Resurrection) except like the standing of a person beaten by Shaitan (Satan) leading him to insanity. That is because they say: "Trading is only like Riba (usury)," whereas Allah has permitted trading and forbidden Riba (usury). So whosoever receives an admonition from his Lord and stops eating Riba (usury) shall not be punished for the past; his case is for Allah (to judge); but whoever returns [to Riba (usury)], such are the dwellers of the Fire - they will abide therein.

Note: Jews were of course a primary source of lending with interest – greedy and rapacious.


There is lots of compulsion within Islam and Sura 2. 44 verses make the following clear. The Jews and Christians are inferior to Moslems. Unbelievers are in league with Satan, blind, greedy and stupid. Due to this Moslems can kill them. Allah wants Moslems to war against the Unbelievers and destroy them since they are sinners and a threat to the Allah cult. Even if Moslems do not kill the Unbelievers, all unclean sinners and criminal polytheists will burn in hellfire on Judgement Day. If Moslems turn away from their duty they will be viewed as part of Al-Mushrikun or an idolator. They will thus be punished. Allah can do this since Allah knows all and Allah is acquainted with everything which transpires in the material and spiritual realms. The 'good' humans and those destined for paradise are therefore those who simply follow the Allah cult and its creed.....This is the main message of the Moslem cult. A religion this is not.
