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 Meccan cult of Hub'Al or 'The One', who was the male moon deity [at various times in the Bronze Age, the 'One', might have been a feminine]; was transformed by Muhammad from an idol who had a consort [Al Lat] and 2 daughters [Manat, 'Uzza] into the Hebrew and Christian 'God'. Quite a feat of theological distortion. Today the dhimmi-wits, and dhummies accept the premise that the cult of a Bronze age moon deity is a 'religion'. How 'scientific'.
Sura 22 or 'the pilgrimage' contains 78 verses. Only 26 or about 1/3 is hate speech against Christians. This proves that Islam is peace. The hate speech verses are: 5, 6, 9, 12, 13, 15-17, 19-22, 25, 31, 34, 39, 40, 51, 52, 55, 57, 62, 71-73, 78. Witness the ravings of the Meccan cult.
1) Allah, not the Trinity, is the only divine force which can resurrect the dead, thereby negating both the miracles of Christ [example Lazarus] and his resurrection – this is the Moslem supremacist theme. Notice the insanity of the pronoun 'We' – who is 'We' exactly, the Allah thing and Muhammad ?:
22:5 ...We bring you out as infants, then (give you growth) that you may reach your age of full strength. And among you there is he who dies (young), and among you there is he who is brought back to the miserable old age, so that he knows nothing after having known. And you see the earth barren, but when We send down water (rain) on it, it is stirred (to life), it swells and puts forth every lovely kind (of growth).
22:6 That is because Allah, He is the Truth, and it is He Who gives life to the dead, and it is He Who is Able to do all things.
2) Christians are evil criminals because they associate other gods with the Allah-thing:
22:12 He calls besides Allah unto that which hurts him not, nor profits him. That is a straying far away.
22:13 He calls unto him whose harm is nearer than his profit; certainly, and evil Maula (patron) and certainly an evil friend!
[In other words, all objects or beings associated with the Allah idol such as Christ are evil].
22:31 Hunafa' Lillah (i.e. to worship none but Allah), not associating partners (in worship, etc.) unto Him and whoever assigns partners to Allah, it is as if he had fallen from the sky, and the birds had snatched him, or the wind had thrown him to a far off place.
22:52 Never did We send a Messenger or a Prophet before you, but; when he did recite the revelation or narrated or spoke, Shaitan (Satan) threw (some falsehood) in it. But Allah abolishes that which Shaitan (Satan) throws in. Then Allah establishes His Revelations. And Allah is All-Knower, All-Wise:
[In other words the Christian gospel is evil, since the Koran supersedes it].
22:62 That is because Allah He is the Truth (the only True God of all that exists, Who has no partners or rivals with Him), and what they (the polytheists) invoke besides Him, it is Batil (falsehood) And verily, Allah He is the Most High, the Most Great.
22:71 And they worship besides Allah others for which He has sent down no authority, and of which they have no knowledge and for the Zalimun (wrong-doers, polytheists and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah) there is no helper.
22:73 O mankind! A similitude has been coined, so listen to it (carefully): Verily! Those on whom you call besides Allah, cannot create (even) a fly, even though they combine together for the purpose. And if the fly snatched away a thing from them, they would have no power to release it from the fly. So weak are (both) the seeker and the sought.
[Christians are simpletons who have no power].
3) Christians, Jews and pagans reject the true 'faith' and will thus be punished by the Bronze Age Lord Hub'Al:
22:9 Bending his neck in pride (far astray from the Path of Allah), and leading (others) too (far) astray from the Path of Allah. For him there is disgrace in this worldly life, and on the Day of Resurrection We shall make him taste the torment of burning (Fire).
22:19 These two opponents (believers and disbelievers) dispute with each other about their Lord; then as for those who disbelieve, garments of fire will be cut out for them, boiling water will be poured down over their heads.
22:20 With it will melt or vanish away what is within their bellies, as well as (their) skins.
22:21 And for them are hooked rods of iron (to punish them).
22:22 Every time they seek to get away therefrom, from anguish, they will be driven back therein, and (it will be) said to them: "Taste the torment of burning!"
22:34 And for every nation We have appointed religious ceremonies, that they may mention the Name of Allah over the beast of cattle that He has given them for food. And your Ilah (God) is One Ilah (God Allah), so you must submit to Him Alone (in Islam). And (O Muhammad SAW) give glad tidings to the Mukhbitin [those who obey Allah with humility and are humble from among the true believers of Islamic Monotheism],
22:72 And when Our Clear Verses are recited to them, you will notice a denial on the faces of the disbelievers! They are nearly ready to attack with violence those who recite Our Verses to them. Say: "Shall I tell you of something worse than that? The Fire (of Hell) which Allah has promised to those who disbelieve, and worst indeed is that destination!"
[Moslems must protect themselves from the violent Christians (Jews and Pagans).]
4) Christians must follow Muhammad. If they don't the Allah-thing will punish them:
22:15 Whoever thinks that Allah will not help him (Muhammad SAW) in this world and in the Hereafter, let him stretch out a rope to the ceiling and let him strangle himself. Then let him see whether his plan will remove that whereat he rages!
22:16 Thus have We sent it (this Qur'an) down (to Muhammad SAW) as clear signs, evidences and proofs, and surely, Allah guides whom He wills.
22:17 Verily, those who believe (in Allah and in His Messenger Muhammad SAW), and those who are Jews, and the Sabians, and the Christians, and the Magians, and those who worship others besides Allah, truly, Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection. Verily! Allah is Witness over all things.
5) Christians and 'antagonists' are destined for hell-fire, and don't recognize the 'fact' that Allah has made them 'Moslem' and that they should only follow the Lord Hub'Al [the supremacist theme revisited]:
22:78 And strive hard in Allah's Cause as you ought to strive (with sincerity and with all your efforts that His Name should be superior). He has chosen you (to convey His Message of Islamic Monotheism to mankind by inviting them to His religion, Islam), and has not laid upon you in religion any hardship, it is the religion of your father Ibrahim (Abraham) (Islamic Monotheism). It is He (Allah) Who has named you Muslims both before and in this (the Qur'an), that the Messenger (Muhammad SAW) may be a witness over you and you be witnesses over mankind! So perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), give Zakat and hold fast to Allah [i.e. have confidence in Allah, and depend upon Him in all your affairs] He is your Maula (Patron, Lord, etc.), what an Excellent Maula (Patron, Lord, etc.) and what an Excellent Helper!
22:25 Verily! Those who disbelieve and hinder (men) from the Path of Allah, and from Al-Masjid-al-Haram (at Makkah) which We have made (open) to (all) men, the dweller in it and the visitor from the country are equal there [as regards its sanctity and pilgrimage (Hajj and 'Umrah)]. And whoever inclines to evil actions therein or to do wrong (i.e. practise polytheism and leave Islamic Monotheism), him We shall cause to taste a painful torment.
22:51 But those who strive against Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), to frustrate and obstruct them, they will be dwellers of the Hell-fire.
22:55 And those who disbelieve will not cease to be in doubt about it (this Qur'an) until the Hour comes suddenly upon them, or there comes to them the torment of the Day after which there will be no night (i.e. the Day of Resurrection).
22:57 And those who disbelieved and belied Our Verses (of this Qur'an), for them will be a humiliating torment (in Hell).
6) War against the Christians is sanctioned by Allah. Pull down their churches and kill them, Allah commands. War against any who reject the totality of Islamic theocratic Muhammadanism is allowed and in fact enthusiastically expected:
22:39 Permission to fight is given to those (i.e. believers against disbelievers), who are fighting them, (and) because they (believers) have been wronged, and surely, Allah is Able to give them (believers) victory
22:40 Those who have been expelled from their homes unjustly only because they said: "Our Lord is Allah." - For had it not been that Allah checks one set of people by means of another, monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques, wherein the Name of Allah is mentioned much would surely have been pulled down. Verily, Allah will help those who help His (Cause). Truly, Allah is All-Strong, All-Mighty.
What is more insane ? The scribblers who wrote the above gibberish, or those who read them today and believe that a 'god' divinely created them ? Moslems [some, many, all?] believe that the madness of the Koran is the last 'word' from 'god' and that everything in the Koran is 'holy', 'right' and 'rational'. No wonder the Moslem world is so screwed up. With Koranic culture distorting Arab and Moslem states, and replacing reason and faith with Bronze age barbarism, there is little hope in the idea that Islam can reform itself. It never has and it never will.
