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.
Every Moslem must fight in Baal's [The Al Lah or Lord of Mecca] and his cause:
Verily, your Lord knows that you do stand (to pray at night) a little less than two-thirds of the night, or half the night, or a third of the night, and so do a party of those with you, And Allah measures the night and the day. ...So, recite you of the Qur'an as much as may be easy for you. He knows that there will be some among you sick, others travelling through the land, seeking of Allah's Bounty; yet others fighting in Allah's Cause. |
Pray and fight for Muhammad and Baal to spread Islam. That is the cause of Islam. Jihad to spread Muhammadism or Allah-ism. Is there anywhere, within Mein Koran, the Hadith, or Islam, a discussion about: free will, rationality, humanism, the Golden Rule, the law of immanent tolerance, or gratitude? Of course not. Just 73:20 repeated in different ways some 1500 times within Mein Koran. No tolerance is expressed by any of the Moslem foundation documents for the Unbelieve. Moslems must fight them in Allah's Cause after all. Logically why would there be the Golden rule or immanent toleration ?
Moslems believe that Mein Koran is the uncreated word of the Lord of Mecca. In this vein, the adjuration to kill Infidels and fight in his cause, is a legal and mandatory obligation. The Sura 'Folded Garments' is yet another demand that the Koran be 'handled' with 'loving care' and venerated as the last theological 'word' in history, commanded by the Meccan moon deity, conflated with 'God' in the feverish minds of Moslems and Islamophiles alike. So when you read that you must fight the Infidel and wipe them out, what then do you expect Moslems to do ?
In this Sura out of 20 verses, only 10 preach hate speech against the Infidel ape and pig. How moderate. The hate speech verses are lurid and include:
And leave Me Alone to deal with the beliers (those who deny My Verses, etc.), and those who are in possession of good things of life. And give them respite for a little while. |
|
Verily, with Us are fetters (to bind them), and a raging Fire. |
|
And a food that chokes, and a painful torment. |
|
On the Day when the earth and the mountains will be in violent shake, and the mountains will be a heap of sand poured out and flowing down. |
|
Verily, We have sent to you (O men) a Messenger (Muhammad SAW) to be a witness over you, as We did send a Messenger [Musa (Moses)] to Fir'aun (Pharaoh). |
|
But Fir'aun (Pharaoh) disobeyed the Messenger [Musa (Moses)], so We seized him with a severe punishment. |
|
Then how can you avoid the punishment, if you disbelieve, on a Day that will make the children grey-headed (i.e. the Day of Resurrection)? |
|
Whereon the heaven will be cleft asunder? His Promise is certainly to be accomplished. |
|
Verily, this is an admonition, therefore whosoever will, let him take a Path to His Lord! |
Moslem supremacism. So now Muhammad is equated with Moses yet again, the man who led the Exodus out of Egypt. Ramses then pursued the Hebrews shortly after, attempting to re-enslave them. In Koranic fairy tales, Ramses was humbled by the Meccan moon deity, Baal. The important point is 73:19 which says that this story is an 'admonition', in other words, any state, empire, emperor, King, or Liege Lord, who does not become a Moslem believer, will be destroyed like Ramses. Hence Muhammad's call that 'Rum' or Eastern Rome would fall, and Suleiman II's boast, that St. Peter's in Rome would be the stable of Moslem cavalry.
Sadly, there is not one single word in this chapter which is 'nice' to Infidels. Why should there be? A document steeped in will to power and violence has no need nor interest in the Unbeliever – except in his utter destruction and eternal torture.
