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 30: 60
Number of verses of Christianophobia in Sura 30: 20
% of Christianophobic verses in Sura 30 of the total: 33%
Really clever people disconnect the Christianophobia of the Koran with Moslem violence against Christians on-going for 1400 years, and prevalent each and every day. For example Sura 30 has 60 verses and only 20 are anti-Christian hate-speech. Surely this means that Islam is love and tolerance. The Christianophobic verses are: 3, 4, 9, 10, 13, 16, 19, 28, 29, 32, 40-45, 56-7, 59.
The entire chapter is about the wars between Persia and Byzantium which destroyed both, paving the way for the Arab invasions after Muhammad died, 'The Roman empire has been defeated' [30:2]. For the media and politicians who are history-challenged, the entire swathe of the globe, from Syria heading west and north along Africa to the British Isles, was once Christian, Jewish, and Roman. The Moslem invasions beginning in 636 AD against an unprepared and quite exhausted Eastern Roman empire, wiped out this civilization from Damascus to Cyrenica, destroyed Mediterranean trade, contracted trade routes and exchange, eviscerated higher culture and learning, and eradicated superior social organizations. This is called 'a golden age' by big brains.
This chapter has the following themes – all of them anti-Christian, which titillates the anti-Church bigots in the West.
1) Christ is not divine, there is no intercessor
30:13 No intercessor will they [Christians] have from those whom they made equal with Allah (partners i.e. their so called associate gods), and they will (themselves) reject and deny their partners.
30:19 He [Allah] brings out the living from the dead, and brings out the dead from the living. And He revives the earth after its death. And thus shall you be brought out (resurrected).
[in other words, Christ has no power to raise the dead or promise salvation to souls.]
30:28 He sets forth for you a parable from your ownselves, - Do you have partners among those whom your right hands possess (i.e your slaves) to share as equals in the wealth We have bestowed on you? Whom you fear as you fear each other? Thus do We explain the signs in detail to a people who have sense.
30:29 Nay, but those who do wrong follow their own lusts without knowledge, Then who will guide him whom Allah has sent astray? And for such there will be no helpers.
30:40 Allah is He Who created you, then provided food for you, then will cause you to die, then (again) He will give you life (on the Day of Resurrection). Is there any of your (so called) partners (of Allah) that do anything of that ? Glory be to Him! And Exalted be He above all that (evil) they associate (with Him).
30:57 So on that Day no excuse of theirs will avail those who did wrong (by associating partners in worship with Allah, and by denying the Day of Resurrection), nor will they be allowed (then) to return to seek Allah's Pleasure (by having Islamic Faith with righteous deeds and by giving up polytheism, sins and crimes with repentance).
The above is clear. Christ is not equivalent with God. He has no powers. Christians must give up their belief system or face retribution. Without repentance they are criminals and polytheistic sinners.
2) Christianity and all non-Moslem ideas are evil
30:10 Then evil was the end of those who did evil [ie did not follow Islamic monotheism], because they belied the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, Messengers, etc.) of Allah and made mock of them.
30:32 Of those who split up their religion (i.e. who left the true Islamic Monotheism), and became sects, [i.e. they invented new things in the religion (Bid'ah), and followed their vain desires], each sect rejoicing in that which is with it.
Following from 30:30 -- 30:41 Evil (sins and disobedience of Allah, etc.) has appeared on land and sea because of what the hands of men have earned (by oppression and evil deeds, etc.), that Allah may make them taste a part of that which they have done, in order that they may return (by repenting to Allah, and begging His Pardon).
Christianity is evil and oppressive. It denies Islamic monotheism. It is riven with sects. It mocks Allah. For these crimes Christians must be destroyed.
3) Christians will be tortured and destroyed
30:16 And as for those who disbelieved and belied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, Allah's Messengers, Resurrection, etc.), and the Meeting of the Hereafter, such shall be brought forth to the torment (in the Hell-fire).
Following 30:41 – 30:42 Say (O Muhammad SAW): "Travel in the land and see what was the end of those before (you)! Most of them were Mushrikun (the disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, polytheists, idolaters, etc.)."
30:43 So set you (O Muhammad SAW) your face to (the obedience of Allah, your Lord) the straight and right religion (Islamic Monotheism), before there comes from Allah a Day which none can avert it. On that Day men shall be divided [(in two groups), a group in Paradise and a group in Hell].
30:44 Whosoever disbelieves will suffer from his disbelief, and whosoever does righteous good deeds (by practising Islamic Monotheism), then such will prepare a good place (in Paradise) for themselves (and will be saved by Allah from His Torment).
30:45 That He may reward those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism), and do righteous good deeds, out of His Bounty. Verily, He likes not the disbelievers.
30:56 And those who have been bestowed with knowledge and faith will say: "Indeed you have stayed according to the Decree of Allah, until the Day of Resurrection, so this is the Day of Resurrection, but you knew not.
30:59 Thus does Allah seal up the hearts of those who know not [the proofs and evidence of the Oneness of Allah i.e. those who try not to understand true facts that which you (Muhammad SAW) have brought to them].
The Koran is obsessively anti-Christian. Christians in this Sura and elsewhere are degraded, labelled as evil and linked with oppression, sin and ignorance. If they do not reform and repent and accept the Allah and his commands they will be tortured in eternal hell-fire. For really clever people such intolerant raving is a 'religion'. Notice the complete lack of ethics, morality, humility, gratitude and the golden rule in this, and in every, Sura.
