Mein Koran, Mein Kampf. Sura 8 and the 'Spoils of War'

Sura 8 called the 'Spoils of War', reviewed here and here, is a particularly odious incitement to Jihad and the murder of Jews and Christians. Over 40% of the text is hate speech against Jews and Christians. The toxicity of the text is concealed in the rather macabre idea that Allah, or Baal the moon idol of Mecca [ilah means Lord not God], is responsible for the killing of non-Moslems. Moslems might wage Jihad, but they do so because the ilah wills it. The Koran in many places makes it clear that if Moslems do something that they might not like – wage war, commit a homicide, destroy non-Moslem assets – it is not their fault. The Allah-thing is really performing the action. Most psychotherapists would call this dichotomy of personality a clear example of insanity.

      008:007: …Allah promised you one of the two (enemy) parties, that it should be yours: Ye wished that the one unarmed should be yours, but Allah willed to justify the Truth according to His words and to cut off the roots of the Unbelievers;-

      008:009: …I will assist you [in Jihad] with a thousand of the angels following one another [see 008:012].

      008:012: …make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.

      008:015-017: [8.15] …when you meet those who disbelieve marching for war, then turn not your backs to them. [8.16] …for the sake of fighting… [8.17] So you did not slay them, but it was Allah Who slew them, and you did not smite when you smote (the enemy), but it was Allah Who smote [Allah gets the credit for Jihad] …

      008:039:…fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah…

      008:042: …Allah might bring about a matter which was to be done, that he who would perish might perish by clear proof [all bring success to Jihad against all the odds]       008:045: … when you meet a party [in battle], then be firm…

      008:059-060: [8.59] …let not those who disbelieve think that they shall come in first; surely they will not escape. [8.60] …prepare against them what force you can and horses tied at the frontier, to frighten thereby the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them, whom you do not know (but) Allah knows them; and whatever thing you will spend in Allah’s way [for Jihad] …

      008:065: O Prophet! urge the believers to war; if there are twenty patient ones of you they shall overcome two hundred, and if there are a hundred of you they shall overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve, because they are a people who do not understand [in other words, do not understand totalitarian ideologies like Islam].

      008:067: It is not fit for a prophet that he should take captives unless he has fought and triumphed in the land…

      008:069: Eat then of the lawful and good (things) which you have acquired in war…

      008:071-072: [8.71]…He gave (you) mastery over them…[8.72] …struggled hard in Allah's way with their property and their souls [in Jihad], and those who gave shelter and helped [harbored terrorists]-- these are guardians of each other; …and if they seek aid from you in the matter of religion [Jihad against people without a treaty—see next phrase], aid is incumbent on you except against a people between whom and you there is a treaty…

      008:074-075: [8.74] (as for) those who believed and fled and struggled hard in Allah’s way [Jihad], and those who gave shelter and helped [harbored terrorists], these are the believers truly; they shall have forgiveness and honorable provision. [8.75] … (as for) those who believed afterwards and fled and struggled hard [Jihad] along with you, they are of you; and the possessors of relationships are nearer to each other in the ordinance of Allah [terrorists have a close relationship with those who harbor them]…

The above verses give Moslems the 'excuse' that the Allah-thing did it. It also justifies Jihad, helping Moslem fascists kill Jews and Christians, and using terror to subdue the Kufar [a subhuman ape and pig in Arabic]. This is why many Moslems invoke the 'Koran-made-me-do-it', within Western legal systems, when they are convicted of Jihad [named 'Terror' by the Western elite]; or are caught 'fighting for the cause of Allah'. Moslems in Western states routinely whine that the Koran and Allah are responsible for barbaric actions, not the individual Moslem. Sura 8 is oftentimes used in this context. In any event it is all about the Jihad.
