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.
If anyone bothers to read the Koran for what it is, namely a cult document which outlines why the cult is superior and everyone else is inferior, the blatant racism which emanates from the shrill, violent, and intolerant writing is clear. Any objective investigation of the Koran will reveal that Blacks are inferiors – untermenschen – and destined for Hell. This is in spite of Mohammed's favorite slave being an early convert to the cult; and the fact that African Blacks in the 7th and 8th centuries converted, sometimes under the threat of force and war, to the moon-cult. Indeed in the USA today, Black converts to Islam now total some 3 million and are the fastest growing Muslim bloc inside the Republic. Maybe Allah has an ironic sense of humour. Blacks are flocking to a theology which is, at least in the literal words of the Koran, racist.
There are 15 references in the Koran to 'Black Faces'. These visages are not blackened from soot, particulate pollution, or Co2 induced cellular deformed skin-pigmentation coloring. 'Black Faces' means what it says – faces of Black people. Blacks in pre-Mohammedan Arabia numbered in the tens of thousands and were used as domestic slaves. For over a millennia the Arabs had warred across the narrow confines of the Red Sea with Black Ethiopians and Africans. The Queen of Sheba in the time of Solomon [950 BC] had extensive holdings of land in 'Black' Africa. 'Black Faces' were thus well represented within Arab society, as inferiors, slaves, servants and labourers.
[Hilali-Khan translation of the Koran]
Blacks are different::
67-27 But when they will see it (the torment on the Day of Resurrection) approaching, the faces of those who disbelieve will be different (black, sad, and in grieve), and it will be said (to them): "This is (the promise) which you were calling for!"
Black Faces are clearly marks by Allah denoting the Unbeliever:
7-46 And between them will be a barrier screen and on Al-A'raf (a wall with elevated places) will be men (whose good and evil deeds would be equal in scale), who would recognise all (of the Paradise and Hell people), by their marks (the dwellers of Paradise by their white faces and the dwellers of Hell by their black faces), they will call out to the dwellers of Paradise, "Salamun 'Alaikum" (peace be on you), and at that time they (men on Al-A'raf) will not yet have entered it (Paradise), but they will hope to enter (it) with certainty.
Blacks are criminals and sinners:
20-102 The Day when the Trumpet will be blown (the second blowing): that Day, We shall gather the Mujrimun (criminals, polytheists, sinners, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, etc.) Zurqa: (blue or blind eyed with black faces).
55-41 The Mujrimun (polytheists, criminals, sinners, etc.) will be known by their marks (black faces), and they will be seized by their forelocks and their feet.
Blacks go to Hell:
39-60 And on the Day of Resurrection you will see those who lied against Allah (i.e. attributed to Him sons, partners, etc.) their faces will be black. Is there not in Hell an abode for the arrogant ones?
3-106 On the Day when some faces will be (lit up with) white, and some faces will be (in the gloom of) black: To those whose faces will be black, (will be said): "Did ye reject Faith after accepting it? Taste then the penalty for rejecting Faith."
On the Day of Judgement the Blacks are doomed:
55-39 So on that Day no question will be asked of man or jinn as to his sin, (because they have already been known from their faces either white or black).
The above is pretty clear under any translation. The word 'Kufar' originally referred to Blacks as inferior slaves. 11-15 million Blacks were trans-shipped by the Arabs and Moslems, into Islamic heartlands over 1400 years [along with 10 million Whites]. White skin in early Mohammed theology was equated with the ruling elite of lighter skinned Meccan Arabs. As Islam developed and incorporated other races, the melanin levels of skin coloration became blurred and less important. Islam was first and foremost in the first 200 years of its evolution an Arab imperialist project. As 'darker' skinned Persians, Turks and Africans joined the cult, the racist division of the world along racialist skin tones became less important and vital.
