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.
Only 33 out of 56 verses in Sura 74, are hate speech against non-Moslems. This obviously proves Islam is peace and love. Pope Frank or Stupidus I would approve of this chapter no doubt. To disagree with the import of this Sura, and not to accept Moslem supremacism, is to be a racist. The magnificent 19 for instance of 9-11 fame, were men who obviously had nothing to do with Islam. Witness the following, 74-31:
And We have set none but angels as guardians of the Fire, and We have fixed their number (19) only as a trial for the disbelievers, in order that the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) may arrive at a certainty [that this Qur'an is the truth as it agrees with their Books i.e. their number (19) is written in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] and the believers may increase in Faith (as this Qur'an is the truth) and that no doubts may be left for the people of the Scripture and the believers, and that those in whose hearts is a disease (of hypocrisy) and the disbelievers may say: "What Allah intends by this (curious) example ?" Thus Allah leads astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none can know the hosts of your Lord but He. And this (Hell) is nothing else than a (warning) reminder to mankind. |
|
Verily, it (Hell, or their denial of the Prophet Muhammad SAW, or the Day of Resurrection) is but one of the greatest calamities. |
19 angels will guard the Fires of Hell, reserved for Jews and Christians who deny Muhammad. Moslem groups in their zeal to kill Infidels, often-times hunt, plan and perpetrate in packs of 19. The Christian and Jewish 'criminals' 'in whose hearts is a disease', will be burnt and will be used as a 'warning' to the 'remainder' of mankind. How charitable. Surely in today's cultural Marxist PC Fascist world, these utterances actually mean that Moslems deeply love and embrace their non-Moslem 'brothers'?
Sura 74 mentions the iLah of Mecca or Hub'Al, which was of course the male moon diety of the Kabaa shrine and its chief Lord or ilah; guarded and mainained by Muhammad's family. How convenient.
“'What symbol does Allah intend by this?'....Nay, verily by the Moon, and by the Night as it retreats, And by the Dawn as it shines forth, - This is but one of the mighty (portents), A warning to mankind, -”[74:31-36]
Allah shows his power through the moon, simply because he is the moon deity. This is what the above verse means. Moon worship was common throughout the Near East, with the moon heralding cooler temperatures, the morning dew, and at certain times of the year, perhaps rain or celestial recharge. In all Near Eastern cults the moon deity would be yoked to the sun deity. In the case of Hub'Al, Allat was his consort, though some scholars argue that Hub'Al is the feminine and Allat the masculine. It matters not. What is important is the pagan-celestial theme of Islamic belief.
Allah is the worship of idols, named 'Henotheism' which Muhammad transformed into monotheism, a theology he stole from more prosperous and cultivated Jews and Christians. Yet few comment on this.
Arab paganism enshrined both human slavery, and slavish devotion to idols including the restriction of human free-will, in the face of unlimited will to power of the idol in question. A good Moslem is nothing but a good slave of the Allah-thing, which in the mind and intent of Muhammad, is akin to himself.
Slavery is a major theme in Islamic liturgy. This identifies Islam as the opposite of a religion. Cults suppress individuality. Witness the absurdity of these verses:
Then what is wrong with them (i.e. the disbelievers) that they turn away from (receiving) admonition? |
|
As if they were frightened (wild) donkeys. |
If you reject Allah you are a wild ass. Dumb, dirty, unclean, worthless. Better to be a slave of Allah, and to follow everything he demands:
Except those on the Right, (i.e. the pious true believers of Islamic Monotheism); |
|
In Gardens (Paradise) they will ask one another, |
|
About Al-Mujrimun (polytheists, criminals, disbelievers, etc.), (And they will say to them): |
|
"What has caused you to enter Hell?" |
Pious believers in Muhammad's cult win temporal and heavenly delights. Everyone else is a criminal destined for hell. What is the implication of this nonsense ? You must unwittingly follow whatever the cult of Muhammad and Allah says you should follow. This denies rationality, free-will and even ethics, since over 1/3 of the Koran is supremacist, violent, racist and misogynist.
The hatred of Allah, Arabs and Moslems, for others cannot be explained away by PC fascism. Cult hatred never can be rationalized. The problem in today's world, is that too many people demand that Islam is a religion. It is not. Any cursory reading of Islamic liturgy and theology makes that obvious.
