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.
Muhammad's
contemporaries were quite convinced of his madness. The entire cult of Islam and the entire
history of Muhammad's military-political career make it apparent that he was
indeed quite mad. What 'balanced' mind engages in murder,
endless war, brigandage, 'revelations' from his family's idol, sex slavery,
concubinage, and bizarre posturing and rituals?
Sura 81, or 'The
Folding Up' [of reason, logic and ethics one assumes] is a defence of
Muhammad's sanity. This is telling. Muhammad was long thought by his
contemporaries to be insane, and
“...you will
discover that the prophet's "ministry" in Mecca was filled with
troubling episodes. Following his first Qur'anic revelation, Muhammad
claimed to have been demon possessed. By his own admission, he
tried to commit suicide. Those who knew him best, his family and
neighbors, said that he had gone mad. "He is a demon-possessed
sorcerer fabricating scripture," they said, accusing him
of plagiarism and of having purely selfish motives. They mocked his prophetic
claims, ridiculed his Qur'an, and said that his preposterous notion of turning
many pagan idols into the one God was insane. As a result of this
verbal abuse, all chronicled in the Qur'an, Muhammad pledged to
slaughter his kin.”
Muhammad 'pledged'
to wipe out the Meccans for mocking his ministry of fantasy, gibberish and
confused revelatory liturgy. No miracles or supernatural events can be
attributed to the mad brigand as well. Why
would anyone follow someone who knew little, yet spouted so much inanity ?
The only recourse
for Muhammad was war. When he crowned
himself Prince of Mecca in 630 AD at the head of a 10.000 man army, he had
waged 8 years of war and plunder from his base in Medina. Mein Koran during these 8 years undergoes a
radical transformation, from confused pleadings to follow Baal, to strident
hate and demands to eviscerate non Moslems. The totalitarian nature of his poli-theocratic
program is evinced in his endless quest to form slaves out of the Arabs –
slaves to himself, his interests and represented by Islam or submission to his
family's idol Hub'Al, or 'the one'. The Koran is from a 'god' not from
Satan.....

And it (the
Qur'an) is not the word of the outcast Shaitan (Satan). |
|
|
Then where
are you going? |
|
|
Verily, this
(the Qur'an) is no less than a Reminder to (all) the 'Alamin
(mankind and jinns). |
|
|
To whomsoever
among you who wills to walk straight, |
|
|
And you will not, unless (it
be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind,
jinns and all that exists). |
Your only duty as a
worthless human is to obey this Allah thing and follow Muhammad. Such a creed
finds its expression in over 10% of the Koran, in which slavery is demanded and
expected. This is typical of cults whose ethos emanate from the Bronze and
early Iron age. Islam is by definition and depiction a very old cult indeed –
at least in its demands and organization. It is not a religion and certainly
not a cult that has any productive or moral part to play in the modern world.
