Suffering through the Koran, Sura 70 'The Ways of Ascent'.

 Yet again another Sura of peace, love, happiness and tolerance. Well not really. In this Sura you do not find the Golden Mean, the rule of tolerance, nor emotional aspirations to self-improvement, free-will and human worth. You will simply read a screed which targets those 'Sepulchre' organized Christians; Unbelievers who are only fit for hell [70:15] or more precisely 'The Fires of Hell!'. How charitable. How religious.

“The Unbelievers, the which there is none to ward off,- (A Penalty) from Allah, Lord of the Ways of Ascent.....the sinner's desire will be: would that he could redeem himself from the Penalty of that Day by (sacrificing) his children. His wife and his brother. And all, all that is on earth, - so it could deliver him: By no means! For it would be the Fire of Hell!” [70:2,3,11-15]

Unbelievers are non-Muslims. If you follow the moon cult you win one of the 'Ways of Ascent' into the heavenly kingdom of the Allah thing – whatever it is exactly [and no it is not God]. Muslims will be recognized by their devotion and ritualization of their non-free willed existence escaping the Christian destiny of Hell-Fire, “Not so those devoted to Prayer; - Those who remain steadfast to their prayer...And those who fear the displeasure of their Lord,-” [70:23,24,26]

Fear the Allah thing. Prostrate. Groan out your ritual prayers. Hope that he or it takes pity on your worthless self. What a theology of anti-humanist Fascism.

Even Muslims who own slaves including sex-slaves will escape punishment from the moon idol Al-Allah. The immorality of enslaving another human is thus 'gifted' by the Allah to his or its members. How convenient. Thus Mohammed who owned and traded in slaves; and who had at least 12 sex slaves for his sensual pleasure will be looked upon favourably by the dialectical force named Allah:

“And those who guard their chastity, Except with their wives and the (captives) whom their right hands possess, - for (then) they are not to be blamed,” [70:29, 30]

'Right hand possess' is a well known and often used assertion within the Koran and Islamic theology, giving the right of a man to possess sex slaves captured in war, or bought in the slave marketplace. The 'Right hand' denotes a form of legitimacy. The 'Left hand' in the Koran is always used to mean those in disfavour. Jews and Christians for example are depicted as receiving their 'record' of sin and blasphemy with their 'Left hands', thus consigning them to the Fire[s] of Hell.

Why I am so sure that Unbelievers in this Sura reference the followers of the 'Fish' preacher [to quote the Koran]? It is here in verse 43: “The Day whereon they will issue from their sepulchres in sudden haste as they were rushing to a goal post (fixed for them), - Their eyes lowered in dejection, - ignominy covering them (all over)! Such is the Day the which they are promised!” [70:43,44]

Muslims don't refer to assembly points as 'Sepulchres'. That word was and is a Christian description of a sacred site. The Muslims did of course eradicate the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem in 1009 under the mad Caliph [or was he just consistent with Muslim doctrine?] Hakim. One assumes that the wild-eyed Christians in the verses above are running for their lives to either escape the wrath of the Allah thing on the Day of Judgement, or in fear of their lives from the Muslim mob. In any event, as the Koran constantly and rather tiresomely relates, they are doomed for as verse 41 so adamantly claims, “Substitute for them better (men) than they; and We are not be defeated (in Our Plan).”

Islam will prevail because Allah said so. And those who did not follow 'The Plan' will perish in Hell Fire. Simple really in a pagan irreligious way.
