Supremacist and racist theology is the bedrock theme of the Koran. Anti-Christian hate permeates the Koran. Every long chapter discusses the punishment for Christians who believe that God begot a son, and that Christ performed miracles and was partially divine. The punishment is hell-fire, and eternal torture. It is always 'us versus them' in the Koran. There is no immanent calls to tolerance, charity or to understand 'the other'. It is about 'we' dominating, controlling, killing, and erasing 'them', who do not follow the Holy Trinity of Islam: the Al-Lah idol of Mecca, Muhammad and his hate-book, Mein Koran.

Sura 24 has 64 verses most of it concerned with managing women including covering themselves up [24:31], and deciding what to do if the female commits adultery or if a man slanders a chaste woman [punishment is death 24:2 or 100 lashes which is the same thing]. Other 'laws' are also prescribed in this Sura, many of which are taken directly out of a Bronze Age-Hammurabi type of code. There is nothing edifying about the chapter.

Christians are of course singled out in Sura 24. The key verse is 55, in which pagans, and Christians are clearly warned:

24:55 Allah has promised those among you who believe, and do righteous good deeds, that He will certainly grant them succession to (the present rulers) in the earth, as He granted it to those before them, and that He will grant them the authority to practise their religion, that which He has chosen for them (i.e. Islam). And He will surely give them in exchange a safe security after their fear (provided) they (believers) worship Me and do not associate anything (in worship) with Me. But whoever disbelieved after this, they are the Fasiqun (rebellious, disobedient to Allah).

Christians worship the Trinity and believe in the Godhead of 3 divine expressions – the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. According to 24:55 this makes a Christian, within Islamic 'law' a criminal. Since he 'associates' something else with the Al-Lah idol, he is rebellious and disobedient. This criminalization of Christians is a common Koranic theme. It makes it easier to kill Christians, or dispossess them of their women and property, if they are 'criminals'.

Christians are also portrayed within the Koran as greedy hypocrites. You can never trust a Christian the Koran states. This also justifies killing them, or at the very least subjugating them.

24:47 They (hypocrites) say: "We have believed in Allah and in the Messenger (Muhammad SAW), and we obey," then a party of them turn away thereafter, such are not believers.

But

24:48 And when they are called to Allah (i.e. His Words, the Qur'an) and His Messenger (SAW), to judge between them, lo! a party of them refuse (to come) and turn away.

24:49 But if the right is with them, they come to him willingly with submission.

24:50 Is there a disease in their [pagan, Christian] hearts? Or do they doubt or fear lest Allah and His Messenger (SAW) should wrong them in judgement. Nay, it is they themselves who are the Zalimun (polytheists, hypocrites and wrong-doers, etc.).

24:51 The only saying of the faithful believers, when they are called to Allah (His Words, the Qur'an) and His Messenger (SAW), to judge between them, is that they say: "We hear and we obey." And such are the prosperous ones (who will live forever in Paradise).

The Christian must covert and simply obey Muhammad and the Al Lah thing:

24:52 And whosoever obeys Allah and His Messenger (SAW), fears Allah, and keeps his duty (to Him), such are the successful ones.

24:53 They swear by Allah their strongest oaths, that if only you would order them, they would leave (their homes for fighting in Allah's Cause). Say: "Swear you not; (this) obedience (of yours) is known (to be false). Verily, Allah knows well what you do."

24:54 Say: "Obey Allah and obey the Messenger, but if you turn away, he (Messenger Muhammad SAW) is only responsible for the duty placed on him (i.e. to convey Allah's Message) and you for that placed on you. If you obey him, you shall be on the right guidance. The Messenger's duty is only to convey (the message) in a clear way (i.e. to preach in a plain way)."

24:56 And perform As-Salat (IqamatasSalat), and give Zakat and obey the Messenger (Muhammad SAW) that you may receive mercy (from Allah).

The Koran loves to be repetitive. It is hard to escape the general idea that you must 'obey' blindly and willingly, the Muhammad, prophet of the Al-Lah thing.

If you don't you are doomed:

24:57 Consider not that the disbelievers can escape in the land. Their abode shall be the Fire, and worst indeed is that destination.

The above theme is rather clear. Christians should convert to Islam, follow Muhammad and this Al-Lah thing, whatever it might be, and ritualize their lives around the Koran. Not doing so means they are polytheist worshipping criminals, whose abode is the 'Fire' of hell. They will thus be punished and eradicated.
