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.
Moslems fear Allah. They fear his hatred, wrath and bloody vengeance. They don't want to be like Jews and Christians in hell, drinking molten metal and tortured for eternity. To say that the Allah-thing is the opposite of the Christian ideal of God is just to state the obvious. The Allah idol comes directly out of the Sumerian-Babylonian Bronze Age polytheistic cults. These were both animistic and celestial, brutal, unforgiving, capricious, opaque and disinterested in humanistic ideals and mores. These 'gods' were enormously powerful dialectical forces, unknowable to humans, and full of hate and blood, not love and charity.
In Sura 77 or 'Those sent Forth' [to conquer the world for Muhammad], only half of the verses are hate-speech against the Infidel pig and criminal. Western PhDs and 'experts' declare that this is proof Islam is peace and harmony.

Verily, We have prepared for the disbelievers iron chains, iron collars, and a blazing Fire. |
Those who oppose Islam, Muhammad, the Koran, or any aspect of the cult of Al-Lah [the Lord], will be destroyed. There is no mis-translation, 'nuance', or hidden message of abiding love and toleration. With Islam it is all or nothing. Either you are in the cult of Muhammad or, you are dead. There is no halfway house of earnest debate, understanding and odes of theology, desirous to convert your soul and heart. Within the context of such a world-view, there is no need to preach to non-Moslems, to reason with them, to use peaceful means to convert them to the Islamic point of view. Charity, tolerance and the golden rule do not exist, nor are they necessary within Moslem liturgy and eschatology.
The cult of Muhammad long ago dispensed with reason, ethics and tolerating non Moslems, believing instead that the 'obvious truth' of Baal, and of Moslem superiority is so clearly in evidence in the world, that merely to question any premise of the cult, should invite punishment. People who deny the 'truth' cannot be tolerated since they put the cult in-toto and its supremacist theology, at risk. The Infidel and those why deny Muhammad's 'message' must simply be erased from existence:
|
Did We not destroy the ancients? |
|
|
So shall We make later generations to follow them. |
|
|
Thus do We deal with the Mujrimun (polytheists, disbelievers, sinners, criminals, etc.)! |
|
|
Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! |
Woe indeed to all those who oppose the cult of Muhammad. The last sentence is repeated 10 times, in this Sura of 50 verses. At least the authors of the Koran were direct and clear in their writing. They want Moslems to abandon free-will and rational responsibility and mores; and simply follow the cult of Muhammad.
