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.
Number of verses in Sura 23: 118
Number of verses of Christianophobia in Sura 23: 18
% of Christianophobic verses in Sura 23 of the total: 15%
The unHoly Koran is an anti-Christian, as well as an anti-Semitic document. Most of the Koran deals with supremacist themes about killing, humiliating, dominating, or controlling [and at times ignoring], non-Moslem theologies and their followers. Anyone who has read the Koran knows this. To state that such a manifesto, which is as lurid, violent and intolerant as Mein Kampf, is now a 'religion' bespeaks only of witlessness or disinformation. Marxists do support after all, the cult of Mecca.
In Sura 23 or 'The Believers' [in the Al-Lah moon idol and Muhammad]; there are 118 verses. Only 15% or 18, are Christianophobic. The rest is the usual mindless ramble about how every single Jewish and Christian prophet or leader was really a follower of the Meccan moon cult. The anti-Christian hate speech verses are: 50, 52, 63-71, 76, 77, 91, 92, 101, 104, 117.
The main anti-Christian themes of Sura 23 are the normal statements of intolerance and supremacism one can find on any Koranic page. First, Christ is not the son or divine expression of God. Second, Muhammad is the last and final 'prophet' superseding Christ. Third, Christians are evil criminals destined for hell-fire and torture.
1) Christ is illegitimate
Christ in fact is a Moslem:
23:50 And We made the son of Maryam (Mary) and his mother as a sign, And We gave them refuge on high ground, a place of rest, security and flowing streams.
Therefore all Christians are Moslems:
23:52 And verily! This your religion (of Islamic Monotheism) is one religion, and I am your Lord, so keep your duty to Me.
Note: 'to Me' could mean the Al-Lah thing or Muhammad.
Christ is not part of God, thereby negating the Holy Trinity:
23:91 No son (or offspring or children) did Allah beget, nor is there any ilah (god) along with Him; (if there had been many gods), behold, each god would have taken away what he had created, and some would have tried to overcome others! Glorified be Allah above all that they attribute to Him!
23:92 All-Knower of the unseen and the seen! Exalted be He over all that they [Christians] associate as partners to Him!
And
23:117 And whoever invokes (or worships), besides Allah, any other ilah (god), of whom he has no proof, then his reckoning is only with his Lord. Surely! Al-Kafirun (the disbelievers in Allah and in the Oneness of Allah, polytheists, pagans, idolaters, etc.) will not be successful.
2) Muhammad is uber alles, even though the Christians thought him, quite rightly, to be insane:
23:68 Have they [Jews, Christians] not pondered over the Word (of Allah, i.e. what is sent down to the Prophet SAW), or has there come to them what had not come to their fathers of old?
23:69 Or is it that they did not recognize their Messenger (Muhammad SAW) so they deny him?
23:70 Or say they: "There is madness in him?" Nay, but he brought them the truth [i.e. "(A) Tauhid: Worshipping Allah Alone in all aspects (B) The Qur'an (C) The religion of Islam,"] but most of them (the disbelievers) are averse to the truth.
3) Christians are rich, stupid and evil and will be punished for rejecting the 'proof' and truth, of the Koran and Muhamad:
23:63 Nay, but their hearts are covered (blind) from understanding this (the Qur'an), and they have other (evil) deeds, besides, which they are doing.
23:64 Until, when We grasp those of them who lead a luxurious life with punishment, behold! They make humble invocation with a loud voice.
23:65 Invoke not loudly this day! Certainly, you [Unbelievers] shall not be helped by Us.
23:66 Indeed My Verses used to be recited to you, but you used to turn back on your heels (denying them, and with hatred to listen to them).
23:67 In pride they (Christians, Quraish pagans and polytheists of Makkah used to feel proud that they are the dwellers of Makkah sanctuary Haram), talking evil about it (the Qur'an) by night.
23:71 And if the truth had been in accordance with their desires, verily, the heavens and the earth, and whosoever is therein would have been corrupted! Nay, We have brought them (Christians, polytheists etc) their reminder, but they turn away from their reminder.
23:76 And indeed We seized them with punishment, but they humbled not themselves to their Lord, nor did they invoke (Allah) with submission to Him.
23:77 Until, when We open for them the gate of severe punishment, then lo! They will be plunged into destruction with deep regrets, sorrows and in despair.
23:101 Then, when the Trumpet is blown, there will be no kinship among them that Day, nor will they ask of one another.
23:104 The Fire will burn their faces, and therein they will grin, with displaced lips (disfigured).
The supremacist intolerance of this Sura and the Koran in general can only be missed by the media, politicians and liberal arts majors. Christians are certainly portrayed as deluded, inferior, averse to the 'truth', criminal liars, greedy, stupid and bent on polytheistic devotion to the Trinity. For these 'sins' they will be tortured and destroyed. What 'religion' embarks on intolerant themes which vividly illustrate the 'other' as an object of ridicule and inferiority ?
