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.
The Infidel or Kaafir, Kafir, and Kufar. The Koranic obsession with non-Moslems or Kufars is of course its most obvious theme. Infidel Kufars are to be destroyed in Hellfire [10% of the Koran]; fought, warred against and killed in this lifetime [9 % of the Koran]; shunned, humiliated, or rejected, labeled in various categories as evil, unjust, unclean, stupid, in alliance with Satan, untrustworthy and hypocritical [15 % of the Koran]. A further 30% of the Moslem cult book is openly and at times rather savagely anti-Semitic. This compares favourably with Mein Kampf – a book banned in many countries -- in which 30-35 % of its content is rabidly racist.
There are 20 verses in the Koran containing the word 'Infidel' or Kafir in its many single and plural forms. None of the verses is about love, tolerance, or mult-cultural harmony. Of the 20 only 1 does not espouse the destruction of the Kufars, making the ridiculous but oft-made Koranic claim that the Allah deity or moon idol of Muhammad's family chooses some poor souls [Jews, Christians, pagans] to reject his 'truth' and blesses other human souls by allowing them to worship him [or it]:
|
He it is Who created you, then some of you are disbelievers and some of you are believers. And Allah is All-Seer of what you do. |
This is called pre-destinations which denies free-will, free-conscience, human choice and disavows the Golden Rule. In other words it is fascistic in the true sense of that word.
The other phrases with Kaafir or its derivatives in the singular or plural are rather lurid in portraying the Kufar as an ignoble beast, who offends the Allah cult, and thereby must be punished. Kufar in Arabic is used to characterize Unbelievers, hypocrites, wrong-doers, evil etc. Kufar has many forms and uses within the Koran – none of them are kind or laudatory. Sura 2:217 for example admonishes Moslems who do not fight in the cause of Allah, as being just as bad as the Kufar and destined for Hell. Of the 19 verses specifically using the Arab word Kufar, 3 are to be found in Sura 2, and the rest are scattered throughout the Koran. Sura 2 was one of the last 'revelatory' Suras to be given to the 'great man' Muhammad, and is thus one of the Suras which abrogates or cancels out earlier Medinan Suras which are in the main, the shorter ones of the Koran [many of which are violent and supremacist anyways]:

They ask you concerning fighting in the Sacred Months (i.e. 1st, 7th, 11th and 12th months of the Islamic calendar). Say, "Fighting therein is a great (transgression) but a greater (transgression) with Allah is to prevent mankind from following the Way of Allah, to disbelieve in Him, to prevent access to Al-Masjid-al-Haram (at Makkah), and to drive out its inhabitants, and Al-Fitnah is worse than killing. And they will never cease fighting you until they turn you back from your religion (Islamic Monotheism) if they can. And whosoever of you turns back from his religion and dies as a disbeliever, then his deeds will be lost in this life and in the Hereafter, and they will be the dwellers of the Fire. They will abide therein forever." |

Have you not looked at him who disputed with Ibrahim (Abraham) about his Lord (Allah), because Allah had given him the kingdom? When Ibrahim (Abraham) said (to him): "My Lord (Allah) is He Who gives life and causes death." He said, "I give life and cause death." Ibrahim (Abraham) said, "Verily! Allah causes the sun to rise from the east; then cause it you to rise from the west." So the disbeliever was utterly defeated. And Allah guides not the people, who are Zalimun (wrong-doers, etc.). |
|
|
Allah will destroy Riba (usury) and will give increase for Sadaqat (deeds of charity, alms, etc.) And Allah likes not the disbelievers, sinners. |
|
|
Allah burdens not a person beyond his scope. He gets reward for that (good) which he has earned, and he is punished for that (evil) which he has earned. "Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error, our Lord! Lay not on us a burden like that which You did lay on those before us (Jews and Christians); our Lord! Put not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Pardon us and grant us Forgiveness. Have mercy on us. You are our Maula (Patron, Supporter and Protector, etc.) and give us victory over the disbelieving people." |

There has already been a sign for you (O Jews) in the two armies that met (in combat i.e. the battle of Badr): One was fighting in the Cause of Allah, and as for the other (they) were disbelievers. They (the believers) saw them (the disbelievers) with their own eyes twice their number (although they were thrice their number). And Allah supports with His Victory whom He pleases. Verily, in this is a lesson for those who understand. (See Verse 8:44). (Tafsir At-Tabari) |
|
|
And say: "The truth is from your Lord." Then whosoever wills, let him believe, and whosoever wills, let him disbelieve. Verily, We have prepared for the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.), a Fire whose walls will be surrounding them (disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah). And if they ask for help (relief, water, etc.) they will be granted water like boiling oil, that will scald their faces. Terrible the drink, and an evil Murtafaqa (dwelling, resting place, etc.)! |
|
|
Truly, Allah defends those who believe. Verily! Allah likes not any treacherous ingrate to Allah [those who disobey Allah but obey Shaitan (Satan)]. |
|
|
And they (disbelievers, polytheists, etc.) worship besides Allah, that which can neither profit them nor harm them, and the disbeliever is ever a helper (of the Satan) against his Lord. |
|
|
But those who disbelieve, (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism) for them will be the Fire of Hell. Neither it will have a complete killing effect on them so that they die, nor shall its torment be lightened for them. Thus do We requite every disbeliever! |
|
|
Surely, the religion (i.e. the worship and the obedience) is for Allah only. And those who take Auliya' (protectors and helpers) besides Him (say): "We worship them only that they may bring us near to Allah." Verily, Allah will judge between them concerning that wherein they differ. Truly, Allah guides not him who is a liar, and a disbeliever. |
|
|
(And it will be said): "Both of you throw (Order from Allah to the two angels) into Hell, every stubborn disbeliever (in the Oneness of Allah, in His Messengers, etc.). |
|
|
(Their allies deceived them) like Shaitan (Satan), when he says to man: "Disbelieve in Allah." But when (man) disbelieves in Allah, Shaitan (Satan) says: "I am free of you, I fear Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists)!" |
One Sura makes the keeping and theft of Infidel women legal, as long as they conform to what the cult needs in a woman, namely blind obedience and submission to a man:
|
O you who believe! When believing women come to you as emigrants, examine them, Allah knows best as to their Faith, then if you ascertain that they are true believers, send them not back to the disbelievers, they are not lawful (wives) for the disbelievers nor are the disbelievers lawful (husbands) for them. But give the disbelievers that (amount of money) which they have spent [as their Mahr] to them. And there will be no sin on you to marry them if you have paid their Mahr to them. Likewise hold not the disbelieving women as wives, and ask for (the return of) that which you have spent (as Mahr) and let them (the disbelievers, etc.) ask back for that which they have spent. That is the Judgement of Allah. He judges between you. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise. |
Even today many thousands of Infidel women are forced to confess into supporting the Allah cult, are thereby deemed to be Moslems and are married off to Moslem men. East India and other parts of Asia are rife with the impress of non-Moslems into the moon cult.
The Kufar is the central enemy of the Moslem cult. All cults need to demonize their competitors. The Jews and Christians are de-legitimized in various ways in the Koran. One such method is to equate the Kufar with evil and with Satan. Cults are not religions. Dichotomous pagan theologies are not spiritual exercises.
