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 Koran, Muhammad's madness named 'Recital', is mainly composed of two parts. The first is the vast pillaging from the Bible, usually incorrectly, and with attribution to HuBaal the Lord moon deity of Mecca. Local Bedouin poems and verses, long in existence, were also appropriated en masse and thrown as a jumble-mash into the Koran. The short 'Suras' are evidence of this. The second purpose of the Koran is to demand obeisance and slavery to Muhammad [in the name of HuBaal], whilst demonizing the untermensch Jew and Christian. 1600 verses of hate speech attest t this fact.
Forster in his work, Mahometanism: A Study, discusses Koranic plagiarism, which is so rife and obvious, that only Moslems and Phd Marxist Academics in Western lower-education schools could miss it, he writes:
“..among the many marks discernible in the Koran of designed and studied plagiarism from the Scripture.”
You don't need to be an evangelical crank to make this claim. Forster goes on to list page after page the plagiarism of the Koran.
Western 'experts' deem theft the highest form of revealed theological truth.
