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.
Western apologists for the Meccan moon cult, most of whom have no idea about Mein Koran, nor Islamic Jihadic history, might take a few minutes to read this execrable screed of a chapter against non Moslems.
67% of this Sura is a hate screed against non-Moslems.
The chapter contains 24 verses and 16 state that the Jews and Christians will be destroyed; must be attacked; and will face the wrath of Allah and be consigned to eternal hellfire. I
5 verses reiterate that your only duty as a Muslim is to fear the moon idol and follow his or Mohammed's dictums [the two are conflated in the Koran rather conveniently for Mohammed].
3 verses have some nice things to say about Arabs who became Muslims and who accepted Allah before they were destroyed.
No verses have anything pleasant to say about Jews or Christians, proving yet again that Islam is inter-'faith' love and respect.

He it is Who drove out the disbelievers among the people of the Scripture (i.e. the Jews of the tribe of Bani An-Nadir) from their homes at the first gathering. You did not think that they would get out. And they thought that their fortresses would defend them from Allah! But Allah's (Torment) reached them from a place whereof they expected it not, and He cast terror into their hearts, so that they destroyed their own dwellings with their own hands and the hands of the believers. Then take admonition, O you with eyes (to see). |
|
|
And had it not been that Allah had decreed exile for them, He would certainly have punished them in this world, and in the Hereafter theirs shall be the torment of the Fire. |
|
|
That is because they opposed Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad SAW). And whosoever opposes Allah, then verily, Allah is Severe in punishment. |
|
|
What you (O Muslims) cut down of the palm-trees (of the enemy), or you left them standing on their stems, it was by Leave of Allah, and in order that He might disgrace the Fasiqun (rebellious, disobedient to Allah). |
Very clear and simple.
Being rebellious or disobeying in the Muhammandan cult, means not following Muhammad, or his family idol Baal.
Terror must be used against the Infidel.
The rebellious must be dealt with harshly – killed if possible – or at the very least attacked and marginalized by the Baal Believers.
Muhammad is uber alles. Whatever he says and does you must follow. In fact Allah is so concerned about Muhammad, that he grants him special privileges in taking booty from the Moslem Jihad as long as he distributed his share [at this time it was 50%, soon reduced to 10% after his army thugs grumbled], to the poor, the destitute, the immigrant, the needy. Allah has given Muhammad the 'power' over all things [59:7.8].
|
And what Allah gave as booty (Fai') to His Messenger (Muhammad SAW) from them, for which you made no expedition with either cavalry or camelry. But Allah gives power to His Messengers over whomsoever He wills. And Allah is Able to do all things. |
What 'prophet' does not cover himself in the spoils of war ?
The Jews are warned about their complete destruction, characterized as cowards, allied with Satan, deceivers, liars and despicable:
|
They fight not against you even together, except in fortified townships, or from behind walls. Their enmity among themselves is very great. You would think they were united, but their hearts are divided, that is because they are a people who understand not. |
|
|
They are like their immediate predecessors (the Jews of Bani Qainuqa', who suffered), they tasted the evil result of their conduct, and (in the Hereafter, there is) for them a painful torment;- |
|
|
(Their allies deceived them) like Shaitan (Satan), when he says to man: "Disbelieve in Allah." But when (man) disbelieves in Allah, Shaitan (Satan) says: "I am free of you, I fear Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists)!" |
|
|
So the end of both will be that they will be in the Fire, abiding therein. Such is the recompense of the Zalimun (i.e. polytheists, wrong-doers, disbelievers in Allah and in His Oneness, etc.). |
Christians are polytheists according to Muhammadism, since they venerate the Trinity.
According to this Chapter, non-Moslems will have no choice but to submit or fear the wrath of Allah and the Moslems as verse 20 states, are simply superior:
“Not equal are the Companions of the Fire and the Companions of the Garden: it is the Companions of the Garden that will achieve Felicity.”
Infidels will burn in Hell-fire. Moslems will repose in the after-life to gardens and endless delights. All for following Muhammad's family moon deity or Hub'Allah; and his raging rant named Recital. Good deal.
“He is Allah, the Creator, the Evolver, the Bestower of Forms (or Colors). To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names: Whatever is in the heavens and on earth, declares his praises and Glory: and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.” [v.24]
Here is another hypothesis. Perhaps this Allah is really Muhammad and that Muhammad took over the name 'ilah' or 'Lord' conflating it with himself. This seems more likely than attributing Master of the Universe status to Hub'Al, the Assyro-Babylonian moon idol who had a consort Allat and 3 daughters.
