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.

Nearly half of this Sura is a hate speech screed against Christians. How moderate.
In the Koran, Christ is not divine, did not perform miracles, was not resurrected, did not die on a cross, and was a common prophet, of little importance when compared to the great military-fascist leader Muhammad – a man who had 25 sex slaves, slaughtered, murdered and plundered his way to power. A rather different figure than Christ one could say.
According to the Koran, Mary the Mother of Christ did have an immaculate conception, but she was the sister of Aaron – the spokesman for Moses: 'O sister of Aaron your father was not a man of evil and your mother not unchaste' [19:28]. Moses the Exodus and the creation of the Hebrew state and theology precedes Mary by circa 1550 years. But the Koran is uber alles, and never wrong.
According to the Moslem Ministry of Truth, Jesus is a slave of the Meccan moon idol, a babe who upon conception was immediately speaking in Aramaic about the wonders of Allah, an idea and cult barbarism about which a newly born infant would have no knowledge, especially given that Christ's birth predates the rise of the Meccan moon cult by 610 years. This Koranic mendacity is designed to deny and invalidate the divinity of Christ and the Christian ideal of a Trinity Godhead. By extension, any Christian who believes in the Trinity and rejects the Allah thing, is a criminal polytheist, linked to Satan, doomed to destruction.
19:30 “He ['Iesa (Jesus)] said: Verily! I am a slave of Allah, He has given me the Scripture and made me a Prophet;"
19:31 “And He has made me blessed wheresoever I be, and has enjoined on me Salat (prayer), and Zakat, as long as I live."
19:32 “And dutiful to my mother, and made me not arrogant, unblest.
19:33 “And Salam (peace) be upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I shall be raised alive!"
19:34 Such is 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary). (it is) a statement of truth, about which they [Christians] doubt (or dispute).
19:35 It befits not (the Majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son [this refers to the slander of Christians against Allah, by saying that 'Iesa (Jesus) is the son of Allah]. Glorified (and Exalted be He above all that they associate with Him). When He decrees a thing, He only says to it, "Be!" and it is.
19:36 [Iesa (Jesus) said]: "And verily Allah is my Lord and your Lord. So worship Him (Alone). That is the Straight Path. (Allah's Religion of Islamic Monotheism which He did ordain for all of His Prophets)." [Tafsir At-Tabari]
In other words Christians should stop worshipping Christ, and worship Allah-Muhammad.
Just to make the message clear, the Koran in every long chapter links Christianity with evil and hellfire. Christianity is defined as a polytheistic paganism which worships a Trinity, itself an idea which is a monumental sin within the Islamic theocratic doctrine. Only the Allah-thing can be venerated. All other 'idols' must be destroyed and ignored [hence the Moslem preoccupation with destroying every single statue, artwork, or place of worship of other belief systems]. The Allah thing which is of course Hub'Al the moon deity of Mecca, and conveniently the family idol of Muhammad, did not have a son. Saying so is a criminal sin in Islam and to be punished by death. Ergo Christians will be destroyed. The Koran is very clear about this:
19:87 None shall have the power of intercession, but such a one as has received permission (or promise) from the Most Beneficent (Allah).
19:88 And they [Christians] say: "The Most Beneficent (Allah) has begotten a son (or offspring or children) [as the Jews say: 'Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allah, and the Christians say that He has begotten a son ['Iesa (Christ)], and the pagan Arabs say that He has begotten daughters (angels, etc.)]."
19:89 Indeed you have brought forth (said) a terrible evil thing.
19:90 Thereby the heavens are almost torn, and the earth is split asunder, and the mountains fall in ruins,
19:91 That they ascribe a son (or offspring or children) to the Most Beneficent (Allah).
19:92 But it is not suitable for (the Majesty of) the Most Beneficent (Allah) that He should beget a son (or offspring or children).
19:93 There is none in the heavens and the earth but comes unto the Most Beneficent (Allah) as a slave.
19:98 And how many a generation before them have We destroyed! Can you (O Muhammad SAW) find a single one of them or hear even a whisper of them?
Christians worshipping the Trinity will be annihilated. This is enunciated on almost every Koranic page. It is a lie to state that Islam or the Koran 'venerates' Christians, or forbids their murder. The opposite is true. The Koran mandates the killing of Christians as a duty:
19:36 [Iesa (Jesus) said]: "And verily Allah is my Lord and your Lord. So worship Him (Alone). That is the Straight Path. (Allah's Religion of Islamic Monotheism which He did ordain for all of His Prophets)." [Tafsir At-Tabari]
19:37 Then the sects differed [i.e. the Christians about 'Iesa (Jesus)], so woe unto the disbelievers [those who gave false witness by saying that 'Iesa (Jesus) is the son of Allah] from the meeting of a great Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection, when they will be thrown in the blazing Fire).
19:38 How clearly will they (polytheists and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah) see and hear, the Day when they will appear before Us! But the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers) today are in plain error.
19:39 And warn them (O Muhammad SAW) of the Day of grief and regrets, when the case has been decided, while (now) they are in a state of carelessness, and they believe not.
9:40 Verily! We will inherit the earth and whatsoever is thereon. And to Us they all shall be returned,
19:68 So by your Lord, surely, We shall gather them together, and (also) the Shayatin (devils) (with them), then We shall bring them round Hell on their knees.
19:69 Then indeed We shall drag out from every sect all those who were worst in obstinate rebellion against the Most Beneficent (Allah).
19:70 Then, verily, We know best those who are most worthy of being burnt therein.
19:71 There is not one of you but will pass over it (Hell); this is with your Lord; a Decree which must be accomplished.
19:72 Then We shall save those who use to fear Allah and were dutiful to Him. And We shall leave the Zalimun (polytheists and wrongdoers, etc.) therein (humbled) to their knees (in Hell).
19:73 And when Our Clear Verses are recited to them, those who disbelieve (the rich and strong among the pagans of Quraish who live a life of luxury) say to those who believe (the weak, poor companions of Prophet Muhammad SAW who have a hard life): "Which of the two groups (i.e. believers and disbelievers) is best in (point of) position and as regards station (place of council for consultation)."
The above passages are rather obvious. Christians are evil, to be sent to hell, and doomed by the Allah thing to eternal torture. Hell is the destiny of any Christian importunate enough to worship the Trinity and be linked to evil. They shall be driven like dumb cattle into hell to be punished:
19:81 And they have taken (for worship) aliha (gods) besides Allah, that they might give them honour, power and glory (and also protect them from Allah's Punishment etc.).
19:82 Nay, but they (the so-called gods) will deny their worship of them, and become opponents to them (on the Day of Resurrection).
19:83 See you not that We have sent the Shayatin (devils) against the disbelievers to push them to do evil.
19:84 So make no haste against them; We only count out to them a (limited) number (of the days of the life of this world and delay their term so that they may increase in evil and sins).
19:85 The Day We shall gather the Muttaqun (pious - see V.2:2) unto the Most Beneficent (Allah), like a delegate (presented before a king for honour).
19:86 And We shall drive the Mujrimun (polytheists, sinners, criminals, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, etc.) to Hell, in a thirsty state (like a thirsty herd driven down to water),
There is no moderation in Islam's hatred of Christianity.
Muhammad is of course the end objective of all prophetic statements and visions. Muhammad is uber alles, and Christ was just a man, who when a babe spoke that he was just another slave of Allah. Anyone who denies the Koran or Muhammad is a criminal. Christians who worship the Trinity are polytheists and Moslems are not to befriend them, to trust them, but to isolate them, kill them, and dominate them. Such themes are hardly the ethos of a religion, but merely that of a ruthless, hate-filled cult.
