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 5 is the 2nd last 'revelation' of hate speech given by the moon deity Baal, which Moslems call 'god', to his fascist cult's founder, Muhammad. Over a quarter of Sura 5 reviewed here and here, contains hate speech against non-Moslems. Only the media, or Western politicians and 'experts' could 'misunderstand' the words in Sura 5 pertaining to war, Jihad, killing polytheists [Christians who worship the Trinity], or killing the hated Jew.
005:033: “The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter.”
005:035: …strive hard [at Jihad] in His way that you may be successful.
005:36: As

on earth, and twice repeated, to give as ransom for the penalty of
the Day of Judgment, it would never be accepted to them. Theirs
would be a grievous penalty.
005:37:
Their
wish will be to get our of the Fire, but never will they get out
therefrom: their Penalty will be one that endures.
005:082: …you will find the most violent of people in enmity for those who believe (to be) the Jews [compare “ with “whenever Jews kindle fire for war, Allah [Muslims] puts it out” (K 005:064)] and those who are polytheists [while they are converted to Islam on pain of death]…
The theme is rather obvious. All non-Moslems or Kufar untermensch, are the enemies of Muhammad's cult. Killing them for whatever reason is always justified. Any action perpetrated by a Moslem, no matter how pernicious, evil, or mendacious, is divinely sanctioned by Baal and is justifiable. There was a good reason why the Hebrews equated Baal with Satan and evil.....
