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.
Consider this hate speech and vitriol against Jews and
Christians who are called Abu Jahl (disbelievers) and Al Mushrikun (criminals),
in Mein Koran:
Those who disbelieve from
among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) and among
Al-Mushrikun, were not going to leave (their disbelief) until there came to
them clear evidence. |
|
And the people of the
Scripture (Jews and Christians) differed not until after there came to them
clear evidence. (i.e. Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and whatever was
revealed to him). |
|
And they were commanded
not, but that they should worship Allah, and worship none but Him Alone
(abstaining from ascribing partners to Him), and perform As-Salat
(Iqamat-as-Salat) and give Zakat: and that is the right religion. |
|
Verily, those who
disbelieve (in the religion of Islam, the Qur'an and Prophet Muhammad (Peace
be upon him)) from among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)
and Al-Mushrikun will abide in the Fire of Hell. They are the worst of
creatures. |
These themes saturate and inform Muhammad’s cult
document. Jews and Christians are
satanic enemies, who must be destroyed and who will in any event, be tormented
by Baal the moon deity, who is the Al Lah (Lord) of Mecca.
It is well
known that the smaller Suras, compiled during the early phase of Muhammad's
cult, were culled and plagiarized from the Kabaa shrine.
These verses are later re-assembled and infused with the usual litany of
Koranic-Muhammadan intolerance towards non-Moslems. It is worthwhile to note
two obvious facts.
First, Muhammad's attempt at gang organization in Mecca,
disguised as social 'reform' and concern for the 'poor', was a remarkable
failure. He was deemed to be a social agitator, hungry for power, illiterate,
quite stupid and probably insane. The Meccan elite had little patience for a
man who was condemning Arab pagan theology, and distorting if not obstructing
trade and money which flowed to the Meccan shrines from pilgrims and the pagan
faithful. Instead of killing him for generating social turbulence the Meccans
exiled him to Yathrib or Medina. A fateful mistake of course.
Second, Muhammad's lack of education, erudition and even
innovative ideas is reflected by his plagiarism of both pagan Arab poems and
ideas; and of Judeo-Christian tenets which he had picked up as a simple caravan
trader in Syria. Nothing Muhammad said or uttered was new or ethical. Most saw
through his thin veneer of 'social concern' to discern a brigand, a thug and a
political-military adventurer, one who would lead armies, butcher men with his
own hands, slaughter Jews, Christians and pagans, and engage in lurid sex
trafficking and the establishment of a personal harem – all the while bathing
in stolen gold and luxuries, and taxes for his Meccan cult centred around
Hub'Al, the Lord, or the Al-Lah.
The moon idol, Al-Lah did not create the Koran. Muhammad and
later generations of Arabs and Moslems did, each with a self-interested
purpose. The Hadiths for example were largely compiled by the Abbasids during a
civil war in the 9th century, some 200 years after the founder of
Submission had been murdered by his own men.
Of particular import to Moslem and Arab culture is the
random violence against non-cult members. The Koran is a merger of pagan Arab
mores with Muhammad's intolerance. In the last 21 smaller
verses of the cult document, there are 388 verses. Only
109 verses or 28%preach hate speech against the Infidel. Only
a cult document would contain such lurid hatred against Unbelievers. Examples
of hate speech verses from Sura 83 to 114 are:
Woe, that Day, to those who
deny [(Allah, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, the Day of Resurrection,
and Al-Qadar (Divine Preordainments)]. |
|
And none can deny it except
every transgressor beyond bounds, (in disbelief, oppression and disobedience
of Allah, the sinner!) |
|
And shall enter a blazing
Fire, and made to taste its burning. |
|
Some faces, that Day, will
be humiliated (in the Hell-fire, i.e. the faces of all disbelievers, Jews and
Christians, etc.). |
|
Labouring (hard in the
worldly life by worshipping others
besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). |
|
They will enter in the hot
blazing Fire, |
|
They will be given to drink
from a boiling spring, |
|
No food will there be for
them but a poisonous thorny plant, |
|
Which will neither nourish
nor avail against hunger. |
|
But those who disbelieved
in Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.),
they are those on the Left Hand (the dwellers of Hell). |
|
The Fire will be shut over
them (i.e. they will be enveloped by the Fire without any opening or window
or outlet. |
|
Tell me if he (the
disbeliever, Abu Jahl) denies (the truth, i.e. this Qur'an), and turns away? |
|
Nay! If he (Abu Jahl)
ceases not, We will catch him by the forelock, |
|
A lying, sinful forelock! |
|
Then, let him call upon his
council (of helpers), |
|
We will call the guards of
Hell (to deal with him)! |
|
He will have his home in
Hawiyah (pit, i.e. Hell). |
|
In pillars stretched forth
(i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars, etc.). |
|
Have you (O Muhammad (Peace
be upon him)) not seen how your Lord dealt with the Owners of the Elephant?
[The elephant army which came from Yemen under the command of Abrahah
Al-Ashram intending to destroy the Ka'bah at Makkah]. (note this was largely a Black-Christian
Ethiopian army) |
|
Say (O Muhammad (Peace be
upon him)to these Mushrikun and Kafirun): "O Al-Kafirun (disbelievers in
Allah, in His Oneness, in His Angels, in His Books, in His Messengers, in the
Day of Resurrection, and in Al-Qadar, etc.)! |
The themes are simple-minded, fantastic, cultish and quite repetitive:
1.
2 ) Muhammad must be obeyed since the Al-Lah idol has designated Muhammad to be the most important human ever. Not to follow in-toto, Muhammad's diktat is a 'sin' perpetrated by 'criminals.
3 ) Al-Lah is the only free-will force in the entire universe. Humans only have the 'free will' to follow what he wants them to follow.
4) All Infidels including those importunate enough even to question Al-Lah [aka Muhammad] will be tortured in Hell-fire on Judgement Day.
5 ) Islam is superior to any other cult, religion or social organization [Sura 9-102:6, you keep your 'religion' and don't taint Islam with your dogma].
These themes are that of a cult, not a religion. Perhaps
Moslems might first want to read the Koran to associate themselves with the
pagan-fascist [communalism which eradicates the individual, rationality and
free-will], cult of a man who was most likely quite insane.
