Satan or Shaitun – in alliance with the Infidels.

There are 459 references to Shaitun or Satan in Muhammad's cult document, named Recitation. Shaitun is the antithesis of the moon-deity the El-Lah, or giver of life, known in pre-Muhammad northern Arabia as 'the one' or the main masculine moon idol. In Islamic theology not following Muhammad's cult is 'evil' and those who persist in denying the 'truth' of Muhammad's prophecy, or in the literal divinity of the Koran, are following Shaitun. Islam thus links the Infidel or hypocrites, with the devil and evil. It all begins with Adam and Eve of course, who were, according to Islamic irrationality, Moslems:

7:27 O Children of Adam! Let not Shaitan (Satan) deceive you, as he got your parents [Adam and Hawwa (Eve)] out of Paradise, stripping them of their raiments, to show them their private parts. Verily, he and Qabiluhu (his soldiers from the jinns or his tribe) see you from where you cannot see them. Verily, We made the Shayatin (devils) Auliya' (protectors and helpers) for those who believe not.

The above is rather clear. If you are not a Moslem following Muhammad's cult, you are evil, and allied with the Devil. It happened with Adam and Eve, those first 'Moslems' who were tricked by the devil to eat the forbidden fruit. It you don't follow the Allah-thing you are being lead astray by Shaitun and his Jinn:

4:60 Have you seen those (hyprocrites) who claim that they believe in that which has been sent down to you, and that which was sent down before you, and they wish to go for judgement (in their disputes) to the Taghut (false judges, etc.) while they have been ordered to reject them. But Shaitan (Satan) wishes to lead them far astray.

And

4:117 They (all those who worship others than Allah) invoke nothing but female deities besides Him (Allah), and they invoke nothing but Shaitan (Satan), a persistent rebel!

Pagans [Non-Muslim Arabs], polytheists [Christians, Hindus], idol worshippers [Jews], and animists [Blacks], are all devil-inspired. Only a person soaked in the deceit and sacrilege of evil could possibly reject the cult named Submission. In order to provide the certainty of superiority to the Moslem cult, Muhammad literally demonized his theological opponents, instituting the 'us' versus 'them' theme, which is the main thrust of Koranic writing:

6:71 Say (O Muhammad SAW): "Shall we invoke others besides Allah (false deities), that can do us neither good nor harm, and shall we turn on our heels after Allah has guided us (to true Monotheism)? - like one whom the Shayatin (devils) have made to go astray, confused (wandering) through the earth, his companions calling him to guidance (saying): 'Come to us.' " Say: "Verily, Allah's Guidance is the only guidance, and we have been commanded to submit (ourselves) to the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists);

The Allah idol, or personal family deity of Muhammad is the only 'thing' that you need to follow. The diktats of the Allah force – dialectical, all-knowing, supreme – is the only thing possessing will and thereby you are obliged to follow it, since you are denied free-will. Shaitun instills free-will in its followers. Free-will is anathema to a cult.

2:208 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.

Free will is clearly denied in the Koran, in fact as a metaphysical concept it does not, and cannot exist within the theological code of Muhammad. Having free-will would allow someone to challenge Muhammad's authority, or the divine nature of Allah, or the bizarre call to ritualization, irrationality, and cult prostration, not to mention racism, hate, war, Jihad and supremacism, that one finds on almost every Koranic page. Cults and their elite do not allow room for debate or disagreement. Shut up, obey, follow and spread the cult. It is a system of fear and coercion:

3:175 It is only Shaitan (Satan) that suggests to you the fear of his Auliya' [supporters and friends (polytheists, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah and in His Messenger, Muhammad SAW)], so fear them not, but fear Me, if you are (true) believers.

Allah and Muhammad are of course, one and the same within Islam. The 'Messenger' is always joined to Allah in Koranic statements. The two are inseparable and can be viewed as the same. If you don't believe that Muhammad is the perfect man, who is simply enforcing the perfect God's demands and commands, you are evil and corrupted by Shaitun:

16:63 By Allah, We indeed sent (Messengers) to the nations before you (O Muhammad SAW), but Shaitan (Satan) made their deeds fair-seeming to them. So he (Satan) is their Wali (helper) today (i.e. in this world), and theirs will be a painful torment.

If you reject Muhammad you are evil. Period. In fact anyone worshipping any other idol other than Allah is practising Satanism. As Satan himself 'admits' via Muhammad [how convenient]:

14:22 And Shaitan (Satan) will say when the matter has been decided: "Verily, Allah promised you a promise of truth. And I too promised you, but I betrayed you. I had no authority over you except that I called you, so you responded to me. So blame me not, but blame yourselves. I cannot help you, nor can you help me. I deny your former act in associating me (Satan) as a partner with Allah (by obeying me in the life of the world). Verily, there is a painful torment for the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.)."

Satan denies his association with the Allah-thing. He is in fact opposed to Allah's 'rule' on earth. In the Moslem mind this must mean that anyone who is opposed to Allah is thus part of Satan's cohort. This must make it easier to kill, harm, humiliate, or degrade those in opposition to Muhammad's cult.

A curious feature of the Koran is the association of evil with making profit. This is hardly conducive to market development, progress or the creation of a wealthy civilisation:

2:275 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.

You can trade but don't engage in usury or even excessive profit making. This militates against capital formation and economic development. No wonder the Arab-Moslem world is so impoverished and under-developed. But the Allah-thing is wise, and 'knows all'. Sure it does. The message is clear – Infidels, interest and profit are evil and in league with Satan. Oppose Islam and you are a devil. This is hardly the covenant of a religion but it surely denotes the ravings of a cult.
