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.

Islam is a supremacist and racist cult.. A reading of the Koran makes this clear. No one knows if all Moslems all the time buy into Koranic theology, just as no one could identify in the 1930s the 'moderate' elements of Nazism even though Mein Kampf is as bad a racist and supremacist screed as the Koran. Such musings are besides the point. The cult, its doctrines and what is written and spoken in its name are the important issues. An interesting sidelight and question is; did Hitler construct the merger of the church and state and the dialectical materialism of Mein Kampf from his understanding of the Koran? In any event, as one reads the Koran it is shocking that on almost every single page there are various and oftentimes quite violent denunciations of non-Moslems with extraordinary demands made on Moslems to physically assault, brutalize, 'crucify' [5:33], humiliate and destroy any human who is outside of the Moslem Umma.
Chapters 2 to 5 are illustrations of the above facts. Consider the following metrics:
-15 % of Sura 2 preaches violence against non-Moslems
-27% of Sura 3 preaches violence against non-Moslems
-30% of Sura 4 preaches violence against non-Moslems
-35 % of Sura 5 preaches violence against non-Moslems and Sura 5 is one of the 2 most important Chapters given to Muhammad by the moon deity, along with Sura 9. Sura 5 thus 'trumps' many earlier Suras.
Chapters 2 to 5 comprise 76 pages out of 423 or 18% of the Koran. Fully 24 % of these verses, within these 4 chapters are calls to violence.

A trend is clear. The more power that Muhammad and his cult obtained the more violent it became. Sura 5 is the last or second last of the moon deity's, or the 'ones' [ilah] revelations to the cult founder. Fully one-third of this Sura demonizes non-Moslems. Most of the rest is a call to obedience and complete submission to both Allah and Muhammad, giving one the impression that indeed both are one and the same. Sura 2 by contrast – an earlier revelation before the time of Pagan, Jew and Christian cleansing within Arabia – 'only' has 15 % of its verses advocating direct violence against non-Moslems. As the cult accrued power so too did it vastly increase its intolerance and lurid calls to destroying the individual and elevate the communal.
Koran 5:33 “The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter.”
Such violence is a part of pagan cults, fascist in design since the intention is to obliterate the individual and erect a communal enterprise. One's duty is to follow the communal cult and discard free-will, rationality and responsibility. If the text's of the cult say that the 'god' or 'one' supports the murder of non-Moslems then violence must emanate from the cult to its external enemies, either perceived or real. This is the thematic imperative of a cult.
Politics and religion cannot be separated when it comes to Islam. The ideal society for many Muslims is one ruled by Islamic law. Mohammad's "kingdom" is of this world. This is in sharp contrast to Jesus who said, "My kingdom is not of this world" (John 18:36). At the critical moment of Jesus' arrest, for instance, His disciples were ready to fight but Jesus prevented it. (see Luke 22: 47-51) Some adherents to Christianity have at various times attempted to establish a "theocracy", but every effort failed, and always lead to horrible abuse.
Cultists traditionally hope to impose their faith and practices upon others and view outsiders as enemies. The cultist might be a Marxist, a National Socialist (Nazi), a Muslim terrorist, a fanatical Christian, and so on, but in the here and now, they demand that their views dominate. Cultists want the kingdoms of this world to be their kingdoms. And this is true of a significant part of Islam. [source]
Islam is a cult. We can't come to grips with Islam unless we recognize this fact. Portraying it as a peaceful, tolerant, non-Imperialist, benign theology is not only dumb but dangerous. Suras 2 to 5, make it clear that Unbelievers are the 'enemy' to be wiped out by the Moslem cult, in its quest to impose the merger of Allah cum Muhammad's church and state complex upon the entire world.
