Until the advent of materialism and 19th c. dogma, Western Civilisation was superior to anything Islam had developed. Islam has not aided in the development of the modern world; in fact civilisation has only been created in spite of Islam. Proof of this resides in the 'modern' world and the unending political-economic and spiritual poverty of Muslim states and regions. Squatting on richer civilisations is not 'progress'. Islam is pagan, totalitarian, and irrational.
3-102: O you who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared, and do not die except in a state of Islam.
3-100: You are the best of Peoples, evolved for mankind...If only the People of the Book had faith...but most of them are perverted transgressors.
Sura 3 is a ‘moderate’ Islamic chapter full of piety and hope, or so the Infidel will be told. 53 verses or 27% of the text is openly hostile and violent to Unbelievers. Like many long Koranic chapters, it is actually a 4 part themed rant:
1) Obey Muhammad who is always conflated with the Allah thing or Hub'Allah,
2) Destroy, humiliate and fight Unbelievers,
3) Those Moslem males who obey the moon deity will be rewarded with power in this life [over Unbelievers]; and an afterlife in paradise [the Koran never mentions what happens to the female, depicted by Muhammad as stupid and consigned by him and Allah to Hell], and
4) Moslems who apostatize or even doubt the Koran, Muhammad or the will of Allah will perish in hellfire, punished by the all-knowing, all-seeing Meccan moon deity.
3-7: It is He Who has sent down to you (Muhammad SAW) the Book (this Qur'an). In it are Verses that are entirely clear, they are the foundations of the Book [and those are the Verses of Al-Ahkam (commandments, etc.), Al-Fara'id (obligatory duties) and Al-Hudud (legal laws for the punishment of thieves, adulterers, etc.)]; and others not entirely clear. So as for those in whose hearts there is a deviation (from the truth) they follow that which is not entirely clear thereof, seeking Al-Fitnah (polytheism and trials, etc.), and seeking for its hidden meanings, but none knows its hidden meanings save Allah. And those who are firmly grounded in knowledge say:
"We believe in it; the whole of it (clear and unclear Verses) are from our Lord." And none receive admonition except men of understanding. (Tafsir At-Tabari).
The above is a clear expression of cultism. Obey, shut up and follow. Those who don't follow the program are doomed in this life and the next.
Sura 3 spends a lot of time justifying Jihad and going through the early battles between the Medinan based Moslem bandits and forces of Jews and of Mecca. Needless to say, Allah makes it clear that Moslems are blessed and guaranteed victory over the Unbelievers. Violence in the name of the Allah cult, including an array of angels given by Allah to Moslems in the battle of Badr [622 AD, 3:123], is mandatory and expected. This chapter thus extends the violence and hate found in Sura 2. Unbelievers are simply demonized.
Sura 3 is one of the later revelations given by the moon deity to the greatest man in history. Though this chapter is not as important as the last 2 which are Suras 9 and 5; nor as important as Sura 2, it is certainly one of the vital parts of Koranic theology, given to Muhammad near the end of his tyranny by his protector the Lord Hubal or Allah.
What does Sura 3 say about non-Moslems? A lot of violence. And we mean a lot. By violence we can use its true definition as a noun, which includes both material and other-worldly force as well as overt supremacist rantings.
The key to the Koran is this: it is dichotomous. Obey the moon deity and be 'saved'. Disobey and be killed, crucified, executed, or humiliated in both this life and the next [5:33].
Violence and Manichean supremacism in Sura 3 can be found in the following verses:
4, 7, 10, 11, 13, 19, 21, 24, 26, 28, 55, 56, 57, 60, 75, 77, 82, 85, 87, 88, 100, 102, 105, 106, 110, 111, 112, 116, 117, 118, 119, 125, 127, 128, 131, 149, 151, 152, 156, 162, 167, 169, 175, 176, 177, 178, 180, 181, 182, 185, 192, 196, 197
Some of the more colourful calls to violence include:
3-10 Verily, those who disbelieve, neither their properties nor their offspring will avail them whatsoever against Allah; and it is they who will be fuel of the Fire.
3-12 Say (O Muhammad SAW) to those who disbelieve: "You will be defeated and gathered together to Hell, and worst indeed is that place to rest."
3-28 Let not the believers take the disbelievers as Auliya (supporters, helpers, etc.) instead of the believers, and whoever does that will never be helped by Allah in any way, except if you indeed fear a danger from them. And Allah warns you against Himself (His Punishment) and to Allah is the final return.
3-56 "As to those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe torment in this world and in the Hereafter, and they will have no helpers."
3-106 On the Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) when some faces will become white and some faces will become black; as for those whose faces will become black (to them will be said): "Did you reject Faith after accepting it? Then taste the torment (in Hell) for rejecting Faith."
3-116 Surely, those who reject Faith (disbelieve in Muhammad SAW as being Allah's Prophet and in all that which he has brought from Allah), neither their properties, nor their offspring will avail them aught against Allah. They are the dwellers of the Fire, therein they will abide. (Tafsir AtTabari, Vol. 4, Page 58).
3-131 And fear the Fire, which is prepared for the disbelievers.
3-192 "Our Lord! Verily, whom You admit to the Fire, indeed, You have disgraced him, and never will the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers) find any helpers.
3-196, 197 Let not the free disposal (and affluence) of the disbelievers throughout the land deceive you. A brief enjoyment; then, their ultimate abode is Hell; and worst indeed is that place for rest.
The above is pretty clear to any except Western Marxists, most academics, the media and the political elite. Islam is not Islamism, it is simply Islam. The world is cleanly divided into two parts. The house of War is the domain of the Infidel and must be warred against by pious Muhammandans. Sura 3 contains many verses which mandate aggressive war against the Unbeliever on behalf of Allah [see 120-128, 149-160] for example.
Allah is the only free-will force in the Universe and he or it, will of course grant victory to those of 'faith', with 'faith', and 'believing' simply denoting pious Moslems and those who follow the Koran and Muhammad. But you must 'strive' against the Infidel and be rest assured of victory [3:123], as was achieved at Badr, and be content in knowing that Moslems will be granted paradise and the Infidel will find his abode in hellfire.
No charity, no forgiveness, no love, no tolerance is expressed for non-Muslims in Sura 3, or any other Sura. Only declarations of war and hate. Sura 3 is a good read for those who wish to understand the Jihadic culture of Muhammad’s cult.
Well over a century ago, in a debate over budget items, Churchill famously backtracked by calling the issue at hand, and its rather obvious mistake; a 'terminological inexactitude'. The last word is not even a word, but it denotes the obfuscation of the issue at hand. The premise of so much modern political bafflegab: 'I don't know what a woman is, I am not a womanologist....' Lawyers are good with such verbiage, as are politicians desperate to keep their family business and guaranteed fortunes alive.
With Islam the same nonsense applies. 1600 verses of hate speech, violence and intolerance toward non-Moslems exists in Mein Koran. Yet the Moslem and his apologist declare 'translational inexactitudes'. There are no mistranslations. The Koran in all its violent gibberish has been translated into Western tongues since the early Christian period. Mein Koran is simply Mein Koran. Islam or submission is Jihadic, violent, aggressive, misogynist, racist, supremacist, stupid, incoherent, and ridiculous; no matter how hard you try to make it come out the opposite.
We should also add the poverty of the Moslem–Arabic translation of the Bible. Given that Mein Koran is 'superior' to the Bible, it is obvious, and stands to reason, that Moslems had little incentive to translate into their vernacular imperial language [Arabic] a true rendering of the Bible. Throughout history this arrogant, ignorant indifference by Moslems toward the Bible has manifested itself. Indeed, the Bible though inanely plagiarized and corrupted within Mein Koran, was never given a tithe of study or investigation within Islam until modern times. No thorough and accurate copy of the Bible was made by Moslems until the 20th century.
However, the Western mind, alert, curious, practical, reasonable, coherent, did for 1500 years translate Mein Koran and in the modern era. Consider just a few modern translations of Mein Koran to English. We have:
-George Sale's translation in 1734
-Rodwell 1861
-Palmer 1880
-Wherry 1882
-Khan, Moslem translation into English, 1905
-Hairat, Moslem translation into English, 1919
-Pickthal a converted English Moslem, 1930
-Yusuf Ali, Moslem translation into English, 1934
-Arberry 1955
-Mercier, 1956
-Dawood, 1974
Yusuf Ali's 1934 translation is the most famous, used and copied. However, the reader must know that Ali is a Moslem apologist, and he changes some verses to make the Quran look more benign. Ali also numbered the verses, which never appear in any of the ancient Koranic 'originals' [there are many Korans not just one]. I use the Ali Koran to produce the hate speech verses, so even Islam's greatest apologist, cannot cleanse what the book really states.
In some ways Ali serves a purpose. He is so obsessed with justifying his cult that he only proves its fascistic theology. His lies, adumbration, footnotes, additions and exaggerations are a raised flag to any objective seeker of truth about Islam. If Ali needs to amend, erase, or fabricate, what does that really say about his cult? When a cult lies, the answer is obvious. It is not what it purports to be. Islam is Islam. Mein Koran is Mein Koran. Jihad is Jihad.
Mein Koran, or ‘Recital’, is the most brutal, bloody and supremacist book in the history of ‘theology’, though it takes a creative mind to connect Muhammad’s cult and its doctrines to religion. Yet perversely, in our ‘Dumb Ages’ it is a protected icon, you can’t criticise it, burn it, or use it as a repository for faeces. To give this book its justified honours, you might well be imprisoned in many countries within the demented, perverted and increasingly fascistic ‘West’.
Mein Koran can be simplified and summarised to Sura 9:5 when it commands Muhammad’s legions of cult devotees to “Kill them”, with them being Christians, Jews and polytheists. Then when the Sacred Months (the Ist, 7th, 11th, and 12th months of the Islamic calendar) have passed, then kill the Mushrikun (see V.2:105) wherever you find them, and capture them and besiege them, and prepare for them each and every ambush. But if they repent and perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and give Zakat, then leave their way free. Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. Mushrikun is another Arab word for Infidel. Someone who is a ‘Mushrik’ practices ‘Shirk’ or who disbelieves in Muhammad’s cult and his moon or celestial deity, Al-Lah.
Most Suras or chapters are devoted in part to violence and war against Shirk and the Mushrikun. Sura 5:33 expresses the goal in lurid terms, “The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter.”
In Moslem theology ‘waging war’ against the moon or celestial deity Al Lah includes violence against any who do not convert to the cult, or who deny any aspect of Muhammad’s importance, his revelations, statements or demands. In Muslim theology non-compliance is viewed as ‘waging war’. In other words, a practicing peaceful Christian living in a Moslem state can be charged with ‘blasphemy’ for being a ‘Zalimun’ or polytheist-trinity worshipper, and for not joining Muhammad’s cult and in the ‘modern’ world, this is a regular occurrence.
Of the major Suras 2-9, at least 30% on average are dedicated to war, violence and hate against the Mushrikun or Infidel. Sura 9 is the last and most important Sura within Musulman belief and jurisprudence, and its apogee of clamouring hate and bile reaches an apex in 9:29:
“Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allah, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islam) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.”
The destruction of Zalimun, Mushrikun and those who Shirk are not stories from the 7th and 8th centuries, outlining tribal or territorial conflict as we find in the Old Testament. Slaughtering the ‘Canaanites’, ‘Moabites’, ‘Amalekites’ or ‘Edomites’ as referenced in the Old Testament describe Bronze-Age history, wars and the violence needed to create a priesthood dedicated to monotheism and Yahweh. These conflicts do not form part of Old Testament laws or Jewish regulations (some 641 of them).
Not so with Muhammad’s cult. The violence in the Koran against non-Muslims is the foundation of Musulman theological practice called by the bien pensant as ‘laws’, though they are not ‘laws’ but barbaric relics stretching back into the Bronze age and to celestial cult worship. Modern day expressions too numerous to list include:
“Muslims must kill kafirs wherever they are unless they convert,”
said Ali Gomaa, Grand Mufti of Egypt.
“Islam says: kill all of the kafirs. Jihad stands for killing all kafirs,”
proclaimed Ayatollah Khomeini.
“Enmity and hate shall forever reign between us,”
wrote Osama bin Laden.
“Jews and Christians are filthy. Their lives and property can be taken by the Muslims in jihad,”
preached Yasir Qadhi in Tennessee.
Denying any verse instantly makes a Mahometan an apostate, a ‘Munafiqun’, one who has left the cult and this is punishable by death. “If they had gotten rid of the punishment for apostasy Islam would not exist today”, said the famous scholar and broadcaster Yusuf al Qaradawi. Not being able to leave the cult and enforcing ‘Sharia’ or a complete totalitarian imposition of control, including blind devotion to Muhammad on pain of death, is why the curse of Mahometanism is still with the world. Mein Koran equates apostasy with Mushriqun and Shirk – in other words it is the same as being an Infidel and should be punished by death and hellfire.
