In 'God's Philosophers', James Hannam lists by my count, about 111 Catholic Medieval scientists who during the 'Middle Ages', prepared the way for modern science and technology. The most ardent Moslemophile screeching that Islam created the modern world, might be able to name 5 Moslems during the same period [including the usual tired, disreputable names of Averroes etc. yawn, boring]; who impacted the European scientific mind. For the big-brains, a handful of Moslems who might have slightly amended or added to Greek thought; is certainly more important to modernity, than the dozens of European Christians who actually invented it. That is why they are so clever – whatever reality proves, believe the opposite. 50 men from Hannam's list are below.

Phd thesis: Make a similar list of Moslem geniuses and innovators....

Given the names above the 'middle ages' must surely have a been a terribly dark and horrendous time of stunted intellects and knuckle-dragging sack clothe wearing morons....unlike today of course with the cults of reality-tv, globaloneywarming, gay, Islam-is-Peace and the state. The poorly named Enlightenment was of course built on the advances from the Middle Ages, Voltaire, his insanity and his ego notwithstanding. And the above list of names is only a very partial compendium of what could be identified.

Buried in European vaults and libraries are literally tonnes of Latin documents from the Middle Ages – but who reads Latin anymore ? Early vulgate language treatises also reside in their collective dust, unused, unread, unknown and in vast quantity. But why bother to read those ? Who needs to do real work these days ? Surely we only need to listen to uninformed bigots like Gibbon or Diderot, who never investigated, understood, nor had any intimate knowledge of the 'middle ages'. Much easier to let others do the thinking for us, especially if they only confirm our prejudices and ignorance.

Sura 3 and the demand for unending Jihad against non-Muslims

Mein Koran is Mein Koran. There is no 'Islamism'.

ISLAMISTS EXECUTE FIVE CHRISTIANS IN NIGERIA - Release International

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.

There are no mistranslations of Mein Koran. Mein Koran is simply Mein Koran.

Even Yousef Ali's contrived translation cannot hide the violence against non-Muslims.

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 20^th 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.
