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 26 or the Poet, just confirms that the supremacist and dialectical 'we are the last and most supreme ones', of Mein Koran wears thin after about 100 repetitions. Mein Koran claims that all of the Hebrew Prophets were actually devotees of Baal, the moon god of Mecca, called Al Lah – the Lord. This is the main idea of Sura 26. Yawn. Heard that already. Baal is of course the antithesis of the Hebrew philosophy espoused by the Old Testament Prophets.
I have a hard time envisaging the genius of Isaiah in 700 BC, one of the great thinkers and seers in history, being a member of the Babylonian Sin or Baal cult. Every aspect of Judaic monotheism was opposed to the celestial worship and attendant barbarities of Near Eastern cults, including that of Baal. It does the Arab world no justice, that its main export – the cult of Submission – is a Bronze age relic and barbarism.
The hate of Islam, or rightly Muhammadism, toward the Unbelieving 'Infidel', or Other is expressed candidly in the Poets:
“They [non Moslems], they will be thrown headlong into the (Fire), - they and those straying in Evil,” [26:94].
So you the human slave of Allah must fear the great deity,
“So fear Allah and obey me.” [26:126]
This is repeated 8 times in this Sura. Fear the moon deity and obey its whims as constructed in the Koran, and propagated by the illiterate warrior Mad Moh. Obey and fear. This sums up Islam. A system of fear, repression, with an anti-human animus.
“So they rejected him [the Messenger], and We destroyed them. Verily in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe.” [26:139] And, “But the rest [who did not believe] We destroyed utterly. We rained down on them a shower (of brimstone) and evil was the shower on those who were admonished (but heeded not) !” [26:173, 174]. “So fear Allah and obey me.” [26:179].
Feel the joy, the animated spirit, the tolerance, the benevolence to those who wish not to worship celestial objects, but engage in a true practice of real faith.....
18% of this Sura advocates hate speech and violence against non Moslems. This Sura is particularly concerned with the message that to be a good member of the cult, you must 'fear Allah and obey me', mentioned no less than 11 times [11, 108, 110, 124, 126, 131, 144, 150, 163, 179, 184]. Fearing Allah and acting like his slave is hardly conducive to free-will, thinking, independence and inquiry. But then we have the violence.
So they have indeed denied (the truth this Qur'an), then the news of what they mocked at, will come to them. |

Then they will be thrown on their faces into the (Fire), They and the Ghawun (devils, and those who were in error). |
|
So they belied him, and We destroyed them. Verily! In this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers. |
|
So invoke not with Allah another ilah (god) lest you be among those who receive punishment. |
Deny the 'truth' of Mein Koran and off with your head. 'Invoke' the Christian Trinity and you will be annihilated. Not much in the way of multi-culti piety and tolerance.
If Islam is a religion, so too are other intolerant cults of supremacism such as Atheist Nazism, or Atheist Communism.
