Sura 43 is one of the most direct and violent chapters against Christians in the Koran. At least 1/3 of the chapter is hate speech against Christians. Christianity is mocked, derided, linked to Satan and Christians are told very clearly that if they don't accept the moon cult of Muhammad, they will be destroyed. Jesus is but a man, the saints and Mary a mirage, unbelievers destined for torment and eternal hell-fire. Allah is uber alles.

43:65 But the sects [Jews, Christians] from among themselves differed. So woe to those who do wrong (by ascribing things to 'Iesa (Jesus) that are not true) from the torment of a painful Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection)!

43:84 It is He (Allah) Who is the only Ilah (God to be worshipped) in the heaven and the only Ilah (God to be worshipped) on the earth. And He is the All-Wise, the All-Knower.

Unbelievers are cursed:

43:05 Shall We then (warn you not and) take away the Reminder (this Qur'an) from you, because you are a people Musrifun [criminals].

43:74 Verily, the Mujrimun (criminals, sinners, disbelievers, etc.) will be in the torment of Hell to abide therein forever.

43:75 (The torment) will not be lightened for them, and they will be plunged into destruction with deep regrets, sorrows and in despair therein.

43:76 We wronged them not, but they were the Zalimun (polytheists, wrong-doers, etc.).

There is no Trinitarian Godhead:

43:15 Yet they assign to some of His [Allah] slaves a share with Him (by pretending that He has children, and considering them as equals or co-partners in worship with Him). Verily, man is indeed a manifest ingrate!

43:16 Or has He taken daughters out of what He has created, and He has selected for you sons?

43:45 And ask (O Muhammad SAW) those of Our Messengers whom We sent before you: "Did We ever appoint aliha (gods) to be worshipped besides the Most Beneficent (Allah)?"

43:81 Say (O Muhammad SAW): "If the Most Beneficent (Allah) had a son (or children as you pretend), then I am the first of Allah's worshippers [who deny and refute this claim of yours (and the first to believe in Allah Alone and testify that He has no children)]." [Tafsir At-Tabari]

43:86 And those whom they invoke instead of Him have no power of intercession; except those who bear witness to the truth (i.e. believed in the Oneness of Allah, and obeyed His Orders), and they know (the facts about the Oneness of Allah).

Christ was a slave of Allah, a prophet of the Meccan moon cult and just a man:

43:59 He ['Iesa (Jesus)] was not more than a slave. We granted Our Favour to him, and We made him an example to the Children of Israel (i.e. his creation without a father).

43:61 And he ['Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)] shall be a known sign for (the coming of) the Hour (Day of Resurrection) [i.e. 'Iesa's (Jesus) descent on the earth]. Therefore have no doubt concerning it (i.e. the Day of Resurrection). And follow Me (Allah) (i.e. be obedient to Allah and do what He orders you to do, O mankind)! This is the Straight Path (of Islamic Monotheism, leading to Allah and to His Paradise).

43:63 And when 'Iesa (Jesus) came with (Our Islam) clear Proofs, he said: "I have come to you with Al-Hikmah (Prophethood), and in order to make clear to you some of the (points) in which you differ, therefore fear Allah and obey me,

43:58 And say: "Are our aliha (gods) better or is he ['Iesa (Jesus)]?" They quoted not the above example except for argument. Nay! But they [Christians] are a quarrelsome people. [(See VV. 21:97-101) - The Qur'an.]

Mary mother of Jesus is not to be venerated:

43:57 And when the son of Maryam (Mary) is quoted as an example [i.e. 'Iesa (Jesus) is worshipped like their idols), behold! Your people cry aloud (laugh out at the example).

Christians angels and saints are a blasphemy against the Allah-thing

43:19 And they make the angels who themselves are slaves to the Most Beneficent (Allah) females. Did they witness their [saints, angels] creation? Their evidence will be recorded, and they will be questioned!

43:20 And they said: "If it had been the Will of the Most Beneficent (Allah), we should not have worshipped them (false deities)." They have no knowledge whatsoever of that. They do nothing but lie!

43:60 And if it were Our Will, We would have [destroyed you (mankind) all, and] made angels to replace you on the earth. [Tafsir At-Tabari, Vol:25, Page 89].

If you don't obey 'the signs' of the Allah-thing, including Muhammad's prophethood, the Koran, and all natural systems, objects and life, you shall be punished.

43:49 And not an Ayah (sign, etc.) We showed them but it was greater than its fellow, and We seized them with torment, in order that they might turn [from their polytheism to Allah's Religion (Islamic Monotheism)].

43:24 (The warner) said: "Even if I bring you better guidance than that which you found your fathers following?" They said: "Verily, We disbelieve in that with which you have been sent."

43:25 So We took revenge of them, then see what was the end of those who denied (Islamic Monotheism).

43:29 Nay, but I gave (the good things of this life) to these (polytheists) and their fathers to enjoy, till there came to them the truth (the Qur'an), and a Messenger (Muhammad SAW) making things clear.

43:30 And when the truth (this Qur'an) came to them, they (the disbelievers in this Qur'an) said: "This is magic, and we disbelieve therein."

Christians are evil and they along with other polytheist worshipping Unbelievers will be destroyed:

43:36 And whosoever turns away (blinds himself) from the remembrance of the Most Beneficent (Allah) (i.e. this Qur'an and worship of Allah), We appoint for him Shaitan (Satan devil) to be a Qarin (an intimate companion) to him.

43:37 And verily, they (Satans / devils) hinder them from the Path (of Allah), but they think that they are guided aright!

43:38 Till, when (such a one) comes to Us, he says [to his Qarin (Satan / devil companion)] "Would that between me and you were the distance of the two easts (or the east and west)" a worst (type of) companion (indeed)!

43:39 It will profit you not this Day (O you who turn away from Allah's remembrance and His worship, etc.) as you did wrong, (and) that you will be sharers (you and your Qarin) in the punishment.

43:62 And let not Shaitan (Satan) hinder you (from the right religion, i.e. Islamic Monotheism), Verily, he (Satan) to you is a plain enemy.

The Koran and this Sura portray Christians as criminal polytheists who worship a former human messenger of Allah [Jesus], his mother, and various angels and saints – none of whom are real, and therefore they have no power, relevance, or need for veneration. The chapter is quite precise in telling the Christian Arabs that if they do not submit to the totality of the cult of Muhammad, they will be destroyed and cast into hell-fire for eternity. Not a single phrase of religiosity makes an appearance in this chapter. Virtues, gratitude, humility, prayer, the golden rule – all are absent. Just the usual mad rantings of a cult which demonizes the 'other'. Especially the hated Christian.
