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 Bee, is another incoherent, quite mad rambling in Mein Koran. The illogic is as follows: Al Lah, or Baal the Lord of Mecca created Bees which make honey. This sustenance is used by man, as part of his supply of nourishment. Therefore Moslems who believe in the Baal deity are blessed and shall garner the benefits of honey. Those, such as Jews and Christians, who reject any part of Muhammadism are cursed.

And verily, We have sent among every Ummah (community, nation) a Messenger (proclaiming): "Worship Allah (Alone), and avoid (or keep away from) Taghut (all false deities, etc. i.e. do not worship Taghut besides Allah)." Then of them were some whom Allah guided and of them were some upon whom the straying was justified. So travel through the land and see what was the end of those who denied (the truth). |
|
|
Do then those who devise evil plots feel secure that Allah will not sink them into the earth, or that the torment will not seize them from directions they perceive not? |
The only 'truth' in Mein Koran, is what Muhammad says it is. Reject any part of Muhammadism and you are going to be tortured and tormented by the Al Lah thing.
Interestingly the Bee is mentioned just once in this Sura [16:68]. The importance and value of honey in the ancient world, which prized this commodity, is thus attributed to the moon deity of Mecca. This is an attempt to depose and negate the Old Testament story of Moses feeding his large flock of hungry, grumbling Israelites with 'manna'. Manna is not bread, in Hebrew it references honey. An insect related to the bee produces honey on cacti and other desert plants. When climactic conditions allow, this honey can be produced in large quantities and will fall to the ground. This honey fed the Israelites.
But according to Mein Koran, the moon deity of Mecca, Baal, about whom Moses would have known nothing and which has no connection whatsoever to Yahweh and Jewish-Christian ideas about God; fed the wandering Hebrews, exiled for 40 years in the deserts around Sinai. The allusion and fable making is absurd. But if a sentient Jew or Christian rejects any part of Sura 16, he is destined for torment and destruction, even if he objects using reason and facts to the supremacist attempt to attribute the salvation of the Jews under Moses, to the intercession of Allah and his honey production:
|
So (as a result of that) they deny (with ungratefulness) that (Allah's Favours) which We have bestowed on them! Then enjoy yourselves (your short stay), but you will come to know (with regrets). |
|
|
And they assign a portion of that which We have provided them unto what they know not (false deities). By Allah, you shall certainly be questioned about (all) that you used to fabricate. |
Christians are likewise targeted for destruction in very clear terms:
|
And they will offer (their full) submission to Allah (Alone) on that Day, and their invented false deities [all that they used to invoke besides Allah, e.g. idols, saints, priests, monks, angels, jinns, Jibrael (Gabriel), Messengers, etc.] will vanish from them. |
No mistranslation here.
The madness of Mein Koran. Bees come from Allah. Manna or honey sustained the Jews. Therefore the Jews and their offshoots the Christians must praise and glorify the name of the Al Lah thing. Within Islam, reason never meets faith or reality. It is all gibberish and jumble-mash. More insanity from the Bee is here.
