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.
Running totals from Sura 2 to 56:
Total number of verses from Sura 2 to 56: 5008
Total number of verses in 2-56, which preach violence against non-Moslems: 1198
Violent verses as a % of total from Sura 2 to 56: 24 %
Sura 2 to 56 as a % of the 6346 verses in the Koran: 78%
[meaning still lots more violence to go....]
So much love in the Koran for the Infidel, non-Moslem, non-human:
|
But if he (the dying person) be of the denying (of the Resurrection), the erring (away from the Right Path of Islamic Monotheism), |
|
|
Then for him is entertainment with boiling water. |
|
|
And burning in Hell-fire. |
|
|
Verily, this! This is an absolute Truth with certainty. |
The truth of the cult of Submission. Reject Muhammad's cult and find yourself entertained in Hell with boiling water. How tolerant.
Out of the 96 verses in this Sura, only 57 preach violence against the Infidel. The hate speech verses include: 9, 41-56, 86, and 92-95. According to this chapter the Day of Judgement will see humans arraigned in 3 groups. The one's on the 'Right Hand' of Allah [the hand of power, control and slave ownership], are the most pious of Al-Lah's [Hub'Allah's] followers. Those of the Left Hand are the slaves, knaves, criminals, sinners, polytheists, and associates of Satan. Or more pertinently anyone who has rejected Muhammad, Allah or the Koran. They are doomed.
|
And you (all) will be in three kinds (i.e. separate groups). |
|
|
So those on the Right Hand (i.e. those who will be given their Records in their right hands), Who will be those on the Right Hand? (As a respect for them, because they will enter Paradise). |
|
|
And those on the Left Hand (i.e. those who will be given their Record in their left hands), Who will be those on the Left Hand? (As a disgrace for them, because they will enter Hell). |
|
|
And those foremost [(in Islamic Faith of Monotheism and in performing righteous deeds) in the life of this world on the very first call for to embrace Islam,] will be foremost (in Paradise). |
|
|
These will be those nearest to Allah. |
Performing 'righteous deeds' in Islam means following the totalitarianism of the Koran. It does not denote an ethical program nor does it include the Golden Rule, faith through reason, free-will, thinking, and responsibility. It simply means submitting yourself to the dictatorial regime of Muhammad.
Cults are by design Manichean. There is little dispute about that. Moslems will win over those outside of the Muhammad cult because the Al-lah idol said so. Therefore good, pious and believing Moslems must remain patient. Judgement Day will render to the chosen-people the fruits of their faith in Al-Lah:
“We have decreed death to be your common lot, and We are not to be frustrated.” [56:60]
This is the main message of Islam isn't it? We will not be frustrated. Join us or die. That is it. A black and white division of the world. Temporal existence split into two. Join the winning team- the Muslim team. If you do 'peace' will be upon you. If not, you will be subjected to a humiliation in the after-life, full of hell, fire, boiling water and an eternal fate little better than a diseased camel, alone and suffering in the Arabian desert; the camel itself being of course a 'sign' of Allah and holy to Moslems:
|
"And O my people! This she-camel of Allah is a sign to you, leave her to feed on Allah's earth, and touch her not with evil, lest a near torment will seize you." |
Camels are treated with greater respect within Islam, than are the hated, denying and evil Infidel. No wonder Western Marxists are so in love with Islam.
