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 64 weaves together the two main threads one finds in the Koran. Blind submission to the predestination power of Allah is absolutely mandatory. Violence and open hatred against those who reject the Allah cult encouraged and sanctioned by the deity. Reasonable people find very little religiosity within either theme. Regard the verses below:
Has not the news reached you of those who disbelieved aforetime? And so they tasted the evil result of their disbelief, and theirs will be a painful torment. |
|
That was because there came to them their Messengers with clear proofs (signs), but they said: "Shall mere men guide us?" So they disbelieved and turned away (from the truth), and Allah was not in need (of them). And Allah is Rich (Free of all wants), Worthy of all praise. |
|
The disbelievers pretend that they will never be resurrected (for the Account). Say (O Muhammad SAW): "Yes! By my Lord, you will certainly be resurrected, then you will be informed of (and recompensed for) what you did, and that is easy for Allah. |
|
(And remember) the Day when He will gather you (all) on the Day of Gathering, that will be the Day of mutual loss and gain (i.e. loss for the disbelievers as they will enter the Hell-fire and gain for the believers as they will enter Paradise). And whosoever believes in Allah and performs righteous good deeds, He will remit from him his sins, and will admit him to Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise) to dwell therein forever, that will be the great success. |
|
But those who disbelieved (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism) and denied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), they will be the dwellers of the Fire, to dwell therein forever. And worst indeed is that destination. |
|
No calamity befalls, but with the Leave [i.e. decision and Qadar (Divine Preordainments)] of Allah, and whosoever believes in Allah, He guides his heart [to the true Faith with certainty, i.e. what has befallen him was already written for him by Allah from the Qadar (Divine Preordainments)], and Allah is the All-Knower of everything. |
For some reason Baal the moon idol of Mecca, or 'The Lord' of Mecca [Allah] preordains some to be the winners in this life and the next and the rest to be loses, subjected to misery, hate and violence by Moslems. Unbelievers in Muhammad-Baal will be punished in this life by Moslems and face hellfire for eternity. Within this context by definition Islam denies free-will, rationality, and the Golden rule. Islam is a cult of predestination. It is the exact opposite of Christianity, in which free will leads to both reason and faith.
Muhammad aka Allah, the narrator in the Koran, also warns Moslem men that their wives [emphasize the plural] and their children might be evil and their enemies if they try to stop the man from submitting to Muhammad [aka Allah]:
O you who believe! Verily, among your wives and your children there are enemies for you (i.e. may stop you from the obedience of Allah), therefore beware of them! But if you pardon (them) and overlook, and forgive (their faults), then verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. |
In this vein violence against your wives or children is sanctioned – if they 'stray' from Islam or try to obstruct a man's duty in submitting his worthless self to Muhammad.
Muhammad and Baal are uber alles. Thus we read:
“Whatever is in the heavens and on earth, declares the Praises and Glory of Allah: to Him belongs Dominion, and to Him belongs Praise: and He has power over all things.” (64:1)
As with many Bronze age cults, and bronze age celestial totalities, Baal the moon deity owns everything. All people, assets, ideas, movements, thoughts, transactions, dreams, hopes; all are the property of the thing Allah. No need for free will, thinking, rationality or individual accountability. Just submit to this idol's rules and you will prosper:
“No kind of calamity can occur, except by the leave of Allah: and if any one believes in Allah, (Allah) guides his heart (aright): for Allah knows all things.” (64:11)
The key to the good life on earth and in the hereafter is complete obeisance to the Allah. This denotes a cult, not a rational approach to spirituality. Muslims cannot deny this. This phrase or some variation thereof is repeated on every single page in the Koran without exception.
What then constitutes a good Muslim? Prostration to the Allah idol, and following the dictums of his creator and spokesman, Mohammed:
“So obey Allah, and obey His Messenger: but if you turn back, the duty of Our Messenger is but to proclaim (the Message) clearly and openly.” (64:12) and
“Allah! There is no god but He: and on Allah, therefore, let the Believers put their trust.” (64:13)
Muhammad uber alles. That is the main theme of Mein Koran.
