Holy Koran! Sura 17 or 'The Israelis' meaning the hated Jews of course.
Moderate racism. Mein Kampf displays the same....

Running totals from Sura 2 to 17:

Violent verses as a % of total from Sura 2 to 17: 21.7%
Sura 2 to 17 as a % of the Koran in pages: 44%
Sura 2 to 17 as a % of the 6346 verses in the Koran: 33%
[meaning still lots more violence to go....]
Sura 17 reviewed here, is a chapter devoted to Jew-hate. One could easily add all of the 111 verses of this chapter to the 'preach violence' list. For the record we only added 32 or 29%. It is rather remarkable that a book is pronounced holy, when so much of it is dedicated to hate, war, extermination and domination of the 'other' and in which a chapter such as Sura 17 exists. To be fair there are 3 verses which are not racist and supremacist – but these mild ethical statements are intended for Moslems only, they don't apply to Infidels:
....Verse 31 says, “Do not kill your children....”, the Arabs in the 7th century A.D. were still practitioners of child sacrifice – a practice the Jews had stopped around 2000 B.C. Verse 32 says, “Nor come near to adultery....” - a good rule and one that does the Koran credit especially since ethics is so rarely pronounced. Verse 33 adjures, “Nor take life – which Allah has made sacred – except for just cause.” This is also a good idea, except it references of course only Muslim life. Non-believers are to be killed or converted as each Sura and innumerable verses make clear.
Muhammad killed Jewish and Christian children or took the juicier females as sex slaves. Allah has double standards it appears. The great man Muhammad can writhe with 15 sex slaves including a 9 year old wife in violation of 17:32, but the great mass of submitted Moslems should not. Consistency is not a hallmark or defining feature of either the Koran, or Moslem theology.
Sura 17 is a long screed against Jews. How they left the sharia of the Allah-thing [which in the Koran is the same as Muhammad]. How they are allied with Satan and became deformed by impiety and hypocrisy. How they must be converted to the Allah cult or dealt with 'harshly'. 'Warnings' were given by the Allah thing to the Hebrews in times past, and they have strayed from the message, become proud and insolent and are now doomed to torment.
Destroy the Jews and Unbelievers:
|
And We gave (Clear) Warning to the Children of Israel in the Book, that twice would they do mischief on the earth and be elated with mighty arrogance (and twice would they be punished)! |
|
|
When the first of the warnings came to pass, We sent against you Our servants given to terrible warfare: They entered the very inmost parts of your homes; and it was a warning (completely) fulfilled. |
[The below verse references the Roman destruction of the 2nd Temple in 70 AD]:
|
If ye did well, ye did well for yourselves; if ye did evil, (ye did it) against yourselves. So when the second of the warnings came to pass, (We permitted your enemies) to disfigure your faces, and to enter your Temple as they had entered it before, and to visit with destruction all that fell into their power. |
|
When We decide to destroy a population, We (first) send a definite order to those among them who are given the good things of this life and yet transgress; so that the word is proved true against them: then (it is) We destroy them utterly. |
|
|
How many generations have We destroyed after Noah? and enough is thy Lord to note and see the sins of His servants. |
|
There is not a population but We shall destroy it before the Day of Judgment or punish it with a dreadful Penalty: that is written in the (eternal) Record. |
|
Behold! We told thee that thy Lord doth encompass mankind round about: We granted the vision which We showed thee, but as a trial for men, - as also the Cursed Tree (mentioned) in the Qur'an: We put terror (and warning) into them, but it only increases their inordinate transgression! |
Hellfire for the Unbelievers:
|
It may be that your Lord may (yet) show Mercy unto you; but if ye revert (to your sins), We shall revert (to Our punishments): And we have made Hell a prison for those who reject (all Faith). |
|
|
And to those who believe not in the Hereafter, (it announceth) that We have prepared for them a Penalty Grievous (indeed). |
|
If any do wish for the transitory things (of this life), We readily grant them - such things as We will, to such person as We will: in the end have We provided Hell for them: they will burn therein, disgraced and rejected. |
|
It is he whom God guides, that is on true Guidance; but he whom He leaves astray - for such wilt thou find no protector besides Him. On the Day of Judgment We shall gather, them together, prone on their faces, blind, dumb, and deaf: their abode will be Hell: every time it shows abatement, We shall increase from them the fierceness of the Fire. |
Unbelievers are linked to Iblis or evil; and are too proud:
|
Then did We grant you the Return as against them: We gave you increase in resources and sons, and made you the more numerous in man-power. |
|
Behold! We said to the angels: "Bow down unto Adam": They bowed down except Iblis: He said, "Shall I bow down to one whom Thou didst create from clay?" |
|
|
He said: "Seest Thou? this is the one whom Thou hast honoured above me! If Thou wilt but respite me to the Day of Judgment, I will surely bring his descendants under my sway - all but a few!" |
[In the Koran, greedy, spendthrift, covetous, rich etc. references the Jews]
|
Verily spendthrifts are brothers of the Evil Ones; and the Evil One is to his Lord (himself) ungrateful. |
|
Nor walk on the earth with insolence: for thou canst not rend the earth asunder, nor reach the mountains in height.
|
|
Of all such things the evil is hateful in the sight of thy Lord. |
|
Say to My servants that they should (only) say those things that are best: for Satan doth sow dissensions among them: For Satan is to man an avowed enemy. |
|
"Lead to destruction those whom thou canst among them, with thy (seductive) voice; make assaults on them with thy cavalry and thy infantry; mutually share with them wealth and children; and make promises to them." But Satan promises them nothing but deceit. |
Ignore the signs of Allah and be damned:
|
Who receiveth guidance, receiveth it for his own benefit: who goeth astray doth so to his own loss: No bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another: nor would We visit with Our Wrath until We had sent an apostle (to give warning). |
|
Take not with God another object of worship; or thou (O man!) wilt sit in disgrace and destitution. |
|
When thou dost recite the Qur'an, We put, between thee and those who believe not in the Hereafter, a veil invisible: |
|
In that case We should have made thee taste an equal portion (of punishment) in this life, and an equal portion in death: and moreover thou wouldst have found none to help thee against Us! |
|
And We have explained to man, in this Qur'an, every kind of similitude: yet the greater part of men refuse (to receive it) except with ingratitude! |
|
That is their recompense, because they rejected Our signs, and said, "When we are reduced to bones and broken dust, should we really be raised up (to be) a new Creation?" |
|
See they not that God, Who created the heavens and the earth, has power to create the like of them (anew)? Only He has decreed a term appointed, of which there is no doubt. But the unjust refuse (to receive it) except with ingratitude. |
Allah determines all including who is an Unbeliever and damned- no free will is allowed:
|
And We put coverings over their hearts (and minds) lest they should understand the Qur'an, and deafness into their ears: when thou dost commemorate thy Lord and Him alone in the Qur'an, they turn on their backs, fleeing (from the Truth). |
|
|
We know best why it is they listen, when they listen to thee; and when they meet in private conference, behold, the wicked say, "Ye follow none other than a man bewitched!" |
|
|
See what similes they strike for thee: but they have gone astray, and never can they find a way. |
|
It is your Lord that knoweth you best: If He please, He granteth you mercy, or if He please, punishment: We have not sent thee to be a disposer of their affairs for them. |
|
Those whom they call upon do desire (for themselves) means of access to their Lord, - even those who are nearest: they hope for His Mercy and fear His Wrath: for the Wrath of thy Lord is something to take heed of. |
|
But those who were blind in this world, will be blind in the hereafter, and most astray from the Path. |
Not much love, charity, Golden Rule and invocations of free-will and human worth here. It reads like a cult manifesto. Follow us or be damned. 'We' have destroyed generations of Unbelievers before and 'We' will do it again. Submit and we may have mercy on you. Follow our cult and you may be blessed with eternal life – or maybe not since the great dialectical power Allah will decide who is cursed and who is rewarded.
Moslems can't defend or rationalize away these 32 verses of obstreperous truculence and seething violence. It must deform the culture of Islam. It has to deflect Moslem theology from truly religious aspirations to political and social objectives. It must demonize the other in the minds of the cult followers. Instead of whining about Islamophobia, Moslems should get busy rewriting their documents and expressions of pagan fascistic violence.
