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.

Sura 41 is a continuation of 'warnings' to the Arab polytheists, including pagans and Christians; to follow Islam or be destroyed. This chapter, like the Koran, is utterly supremacist. No ethical or moral ideas are presented. No metaphysical insights or intelligence is offered. Only the usual dichotomous exhibition of intolerance and hate: Christians and polytheists are to be tortured and eliminated because they will not submit to the Muhammad-Allah idol nexus.
Muhammad aka Allah [the male moon deity of Mecca], warns the pagans of Mecca and Arabia to put aside and to stop worshipping the sun [Allat] and the moon [Allah]. A cult practice with a 5.000 year history.
41:37 And from among His [Allah] Signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Prostrate not to the sun nor to the moon, but prostrate to Allah Who created them, if you (really) worship Him.
Christians must not associate any aspect of the Trinity with the new and improved monotheistic deity or Allah-Muhammad, who is now all-powerful, the creator of the sun, the moon, the earth and all of life:
41:6 Say (O Muhammad SAW): "I am only a human being like you. It is inspired in me that your Ilah (God) is One Ilah (God - Allah), therefore take Straight Path to Him (with true Faith Islamic Monotheism) and obedience to Him, and seek forgiveness of Him. And woe to Al-Mushrikun (the disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, polytheists, idolaters, etc. - see V.2:105).
41:9 Say (O Muhammad SAW): "Do you verily disbelieve in Him Who created the earth in two Days and you set up rivals (in worship) with Him? That is the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists).
[Allah created the earth in 2 days?]
41:47 (The learned men) refer to Him (Alone) the knowledge of the Hour. No fruit comes out of its sheath, nor does a female conceive (within her womb), nor brings forth (young), except by His Knowledge. And on the Day when He will call unto them (polytheists) (saying): "Where are My (so-called) partners (whom you did invent)?" They will say: "We inform You that none of us bears witness to it (that they are Your partners)!"
41:48 And those whom they used to invoke before will fail them, and they will perceive that they have no place of refuge (from Allah's punishment).
Jews and Christians were given the 'Koran' but they rejected it, and this sin will be punished:
41:45 And indeed We gave Musa (Moses) the Scripture, but dispute arose therein. And had it not been for a Word that went forth before from your Lord, (the torment would have overtaken them) and the matter would have been settled between them. But truly, they are in grave doubt thereto (i.e. about the Qur'an). [Tafsir Al-Qurtubi, Vol. 15, Page 370]
41:25 And We have assigned them (devils) intimate companions (in this world), who have made fair-seeming to them, what was before them (evil deeds which they were doing in the present worldly life and disbelief in the Reckoning and the Resurrection, etc.) and what was behind them (denial of the matters in the coming life of the Hereafter as regards punishment or reward, etc.). And the Word (i.e. the torment) is justified against them as it was justified against those who were among the previous generations of jinns and men that had passed away before them. Indeed they (all) were the losers.
Humans must simply believe in the Allah thing and throw away other belief systems – why they should do so is never explained, except to avoid hell-fire, temporal torture and humiliation:
41:4 Giving glad tidings [of Paradise to the one who believes in the Oneness of Allah (i.e. Islamic Monotheism) and fears Allah much (abstains from all kinds of sins and evil deeds) and loves Allah much (performing all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained)], and warning (of punishment in the Hell Fire to the one who disbelieves in the Oneness of Allah), but most of them turn away, so they listen not.
41:14 When the Messengers came to them, from before them and behind them (saying): "Worship none but Allah" They said: "If our Lord had so willed, He would surely have sent down the angels. So indeed! We disbelieve in that with which you have been sent."
If you reject any part of Muhammadan theology you will be eradicated. Perforce Christians and other Unbelievers are going to hell:
41:19 And (remember) the Day that the enemies of Allah will be gathered to the Fire, so they will be collected there (the first and the last).
41:20 Till, when they reach it (Hell-fire), their hearing (ears) and their eyes, and their skins will testify against them as to what they used to do.
41:27 But surely, We shall cause those who disbelieve to taste a severe torment, and certainly, We shall requite them the worst of what they used to do.
41:28 That is the recompense of the enemies of Allah: The Fire, therein will be for them the eternal home, a (deserving) recompense for that they used to deny Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.).
41:40 Verily, those who turn away from Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc. by attacking, distorting and denying them), are not hidden from Us. Is he who is cast into the Fire better or he who comes secure on the Day of Resurrection? Do what you will. Verily! He is All-Seer of what you do (this is a severe threat to the disbelievers).
No religious theology in the above. Conform, follow, obey or die. Pretty simple really. Cults operate in this manner. They deny reality, ethics, reason and debate. They promote intolerance, irrationality, hatred, supremacism and fear. The Bronze-Age inspired cult of Islam, with its pagan Arab antecedents and history, is about as far removed from a religion as it is from science and rationality.
