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.
Even Mein Koran acknowledges the insanity of the Meccan-Baal project and its 'founder' the quite mad Muhammad. Sura 23 is famous for its 'denial', that Muhammad was mentally ill. It rebukes the 'Infidel' for spreading this belief, and demands as usual, punishment, torture and violence against non Moslems.
23:25 "He is only a man in whom is madness, so wait for him a while."
Note: This is used to demonize Unbelievers, for not believing that Muhammad was a prophet is a sin in Islam.
23:70 “Or say they: "There is madness in him?" Nay, but he brought them the truth [i.e. "(A) Tauhid: Worshipping Allah Alone in all aspects (B) The Qur'an (C) The religion of Islam,"] but most of them (the disbelievers) are averse to the truth.”
Nay, no madness in Mein Koran, or the totalitarianism of Mein Fuehrer Muhammad's rule. If you believe that the Meccan cult of submission is nothing else other than the usual litany of Oriental despotism and bile; than the Lord of Mecca, Baal or Allah, will punish you. As 23:70 states, only Islam is the truth, and if Mein Koran says Muhammad is the world's most important human, than that is all you need to know.
In this regard 21% of Sura 23 preaches violence against non Moslems. The multi-culti and Islamophiles regard this as 'moderate', proving that Islam or 79% of it, is peace and love. The 79% simply demands obeisance, there are no immanent rules of tolerance or ethics, and the golden rule never makes an entrance. The violence against non Moslems is palpable, vibrant and dominant. They will be utterly destroyed.
23:41 “So As-Saihah (torment - awful cry, etc.) overtook them with justice, and We made them as rubbish of dead plants. So away with the people who are Zalimun (polytheists, wrong-doers, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, disobedient to His Messengers, etc.).”
Christians are polytheists who are rubbish. Jews are non believers who are as alive to Moslems as dead plants. Once they were Moslem, now they are doomed.
23:44 “Then We sent Our Messengers in succession, every time there came to a nation their Messenger, they denied him, so We made them follow one another (to destruction), and We made them as Ahadith (the true stories for mankind to learn a lesson from them). So away with a people who believe not.”
It is not only a supremacist ode to violence but a quite mentally-ill view, that a moon cult from Mecca, is somehow the 'parent' of Judeo-Christianity, appearing as it did, 2600 years after Judaism and 600 years after Christianity. Islam's claim that the Abrahamic theologies all derive from the Lord of Mecca, or Baal, is about as intelligent as stating that AmerIndians discovered Europe; or that Chinghis Khan's Mongolian culture, created ancient China. It is beyond absurd [though no doubt many Phds have been printed supporting such views].
In this Koranic make-believe world, the Jews and Christians are wayward Muslims who must be re-converted to the moon cult 'path' of ritualised obedience, or punished, “If We had mercy on them and removed the distress which is on them, they would obstinately persist in their transgression, wandering in distraction to and fro. We inflicted punishment on them, but they did not humble themselves to their Lord, nor do they submissively entreat (Him)! [23: 75,76]
Why is Islam supremacist, violent and so intolerant ? Read Mein Koran yourself including Sura 23 the 'Believers'; don't listen to the media or politicians explain away Moslem fascism.
