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.

8:12: (Remember) when your Lord inspired the angels, "Verily, I am with you, so keep firm those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved, so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes."
8:39 And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allah) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allah Alone [in the whole of the world]. But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allah), then certainly, Allah is All-Seer of what they do.
8:41 And know that whatever of war-booty that you may gain, verily one-fifth (1/5th) of it is assigned to Allah, and to the Messenger, and to the near relatives [of the Messenger (Muhammad SAW)], (and also) the orphans, Al-Masakin (the poor) and the wayfarer, if you have believed in Allah and in that which We sent down to Our slave (Muhammad SAW) on the Day of criterion (between right and wrong), the Day when the two forces met (the battle of Badr) - And Allah is Able to do all things.
Conveniently Mad Muhammad and his friends are commanded to murder Christians and Jews. From the resulting plunder, 20% is reserved for Muhammad and his monotheistic creation the moon deity or 'The Lord' Al-Lah. Convenient indeed. Muhammad died fat, rich and hated by most of his men who had grown tired of his 'revelations'. He was murdered on June 8th 632 A.D.
Sura 8 is named the 'Spoils of War'. Surely this is a chapter on ethics, spiritual enlightenment and meditations on the soul ? Or perhaps in Mein Koran fashion, it is dedicated to the distribution of Jihad, war, plunder and the private property destruction of Jews and Christians ? Witless Western Marxist wonders will state that the 31% of the chapter which is Christianophobic is full of 'mistranslations'. It is hard to mistranslate the 'Spoils of War' and the sundry texts adjuring Moslems to murder Pagans, Jews and Christians,
The verses of anti-Christian hate speech are the following sanctioned by the moon deity Hu'Bal through his mouthpiece Muhammad:
12-14, 36-41, 45, 48-52, 55-60, 65, 69, 73
The key themes of anti-Christian zealotry are of course endemic in the entire Koran. After a while it does get boring to read the same gibberish over and over again. Sura 8 is particularly blood-thirsty even by the low standards of Mein Koran. We read the following:
-If any Christian spreads mischief or 'contended against' the Al-Lah thing, they must taste death and hellfire [8:12-14]
-Christians are wealthy Unbelievers who 'persist' in blasphemy and who 'hinder' men from the 'path of Al-Lah' and will be cast into hellfire where the Al-Lah will 'heap them together'.
-Christians are linked to Satan [8:48], denounced as hypocrites [8:49] and will 'Taste the Penalty of the blazing Fire' [8:50].
-Christians reject the 'signs' of Al-Lah [for example the 'prophethood' of Mad Muhammad] [8:52]; and are the 'worst beasts in the sight of Allah' [8:55]; and constantly break covenants and promises [8:56].
-Christians are treacherous and deceitful [8:58-59]; and Moslems must always be ready for war against them [8:60].
-All Unbelievers are 'protectors, one of another', meaning that Moslems are surrounded by enemies and must be on their guard [8:73].
The above dispositions take up the entire chapter. There is not one single phrase or even word, about the higher callings of spirituality – rationality, free-will, gratitude, humility, universal tolerance, and ethical parameters. None.
The Koran also excuses the lack of miracles from Mad Muhammad on the grounds that he – Al Lah - will not endanger the precious being of Muhammad, nor waste time on those who should simply repent their paganism and prostrate themselves to the totalitarian fascist. These excuses are obvious attempts to discredit the miracles of Christ and to deflect criticism from Muhammad about his lack of divine nature and authority.
8:32 And (remember) when they said: "O Allah! If this (the Qur'an) is indeed the truth (revealed) from You, then rain down stones on us from the sky or bring on us a painful torment."
8:33 And Allah would not punish them while you (Muhammad SAW) are amongst them, nor will He punish them while they seek (Allah's) Forgiveness.
8:34 And why should not Allah punish them while they stop (men) from Al-Masjid-al-Haram, and they are not its guardians? None can be its guardian except Al-Muttaqun (the pious - see V.2:2), but most of them know not.
There is no need therefore to provide miracles or 'signs' that Islam is superior or divinely connected. Al-Lah is the 'One' and his Messenger the totalitarian Muhammad the most important person in history. Follow both and be saved. Reject either and you will be killed in this life and tortured in the next. Is this not a great thematic for a 'religion' ?
