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.
The idea of ‘righteousness’ in the cult of Muhammad is based on following Muhammad’s example, believing in and venerating the Al Lah deity (celestial, moon, fertility idol) of Mecca, never questioning Koranic dogma, and living Sharia piety. The summary of this complete system of living, is enshrined in the daily Shahada prayer which tells the Muhammandan faithful to follow Muhammad and Al Lah and which curses Christians. Being a good or ‘righteous’ Muslim is about obeying and following, not necessarily about displaying a life where actions and attitudes are ‘moral’, or ‘just’.
The Arabic word 'Birr' is roughly defined to indicate 'righteous'. Only Muslims can possess Birr. Non-Muslims are cursed and dispossessed of any claim to Birr. The Koran, the cult document par excellence and the most supremacist ranting in history makes this clear.
Birr appears some 989 times in Hilali-Khan's Koranic translation. Birr lays out 3 immutable laws around being ‘righteous’:
1. The Koran is uber alles and the only book to contain the truth.
2. To be righteous is to follow Muhammad's commands unquestioningly and unhesitatingly.
3. The Unbelievers are not righteous and will be killed.
The 989 verses around being 'righteous' fall into these 3 categories. These 3 themes exemplify and help to amplify a cult and its cultural system of irrationality and blind cultural obedience. Liberation of the mind, the spirit, the body and even of ethical concepts is not important to Islam, Muhammad and cannot be found in the Koran. It is simply a communal program, subsuming the individual into the cult and assuring that the cult remains uber alles. Birr is an example of this doctrine. Some examples include.
The Koran rules and you will obey
This is the Book; in it is guidance sure, without doubt, to those who fear God; |
|
And who turns away from the religion of Abraham but such as debase their souls with folly? Him We chose and rendered pure in this world: And he will be in the Hereafter in the ranks of the Righteous. |
Note; Jews converting to Islam are encouraged to do so to 'save' themselves.
So We have made this (the Qur'an) easy in your own tongue (O Muhammad SAW), only that you may give glad tidings to the Muttaqun (pious and righteous persons - See V.2:2), and warn with it the Ludda (most quarrelsome) people. |
The Koran is the main instrument to hold the cult together. And who is the 'owner' of the manual, none other than its very creator the political-military terrorist Muhammad. How convenient. Seen in this light one can surmise that the Allah-thing is really Muhammad.
Follow the Muhammad or else.....
|
They believe in Allah and the Last Day; they enjoin Al-Ma'ruf (Islamic Monotheism, and following Prophet Muhammad SAW) and forbid Al-Munkar (polytheism, disbelief and opposing Prophet Muhammad SAW); and they hasten in (all) good works; and they are among the righteous. |
|
Those who believe [in the Oneness of Allah (Monotheism) and in Messenger Muhammad SAW, and do not apostate because of the harm they receive from the polytheists], and do righteous good deeds, surely, We shall remit from them their evil deeds and shall reward them according to the best of that which they used to do. |
|
Muhammad (SAW) is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are severe against disbelievers, and merciful among themselves. You see them bowing and falling down prostrate (in prayer), seeking Bounty from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure. The mark of them (i.e. of their Faith) is on their faces (foreheads) from the traces of (their) prostration (during prayers). This is their description in the Taurat (Torah). But their description in the Injeel (Gospel) is like a (sown) seed which sends forth its shoot, then makes it strong, it then becomes thick, and it stands straight on its stem, delighting the sowers that He may enrage the disbelievers with them. Allah has promised those among them who believe (i.e. all those who follow Islamic Monotheism, the religion of Prophet Muhammad SAW till the Day of Resurrection) and do righteous good deeds, forgiveness and a mighty reward (i.e. Paradise) |
|
Verily, those who believe [in the Oneness of Allah, and in His Messenger Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) including all obligations ordered by Islam] and do righteous good deeds, they are the best of creatures. |
Is the above obvious enough. Allah is usually joined to Muhammad in the Koran. The two are inextricably linked. Why would a moon deity or any divine presence take such an interest in a man who led 88 military campaigns, engaged in Jihad, murder, racism, sex slavery, slave trading and the morbid but cultural prevalent action of bedding a 9-year-old girl? Further, even if you do ‘good deeds’ but do not follow the Muhammad-Al Lah complex, your deeds of just righteousness will avail you nothing, since by definition you are not a pious enough Muslim and you will still be punished and tormented.
Unrighteous Unbelievers will die
|
Therein they will cry: "Our Lord! Bring us out, we shall do righteous good deeds, not (the evil deeds) that we used to do." (Allah will reply): "Did We not give you lives long enough, so that whosoever would receive admonition, - could receive it? And the warner came to you. So taste you (the evil of your deeds). For the Zalimun (polytheists and wrongdoers, etc.) there is no helper." |
|
(He has made it) Straight to give warning (to the disbelievers) of a severe punishment from Him, and to give glad tidings to the believers (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism), who work righteous deeds, that they shall have a fair reward (i.e. Paradise). |
|
Those who disbelieve, theirs will be a severe torment; and those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, theirs will be forgiveness and a great reward (i.e. Paradise). |
You can't read the Koran and try to understand Islam unless you critically examine its underpinnings, beginnings, and later development as a cult. No religion would proclaim that Unbelievers who are performing deeds of goodness and morality will suffer a 'severe torment'. That is simply an irreligious ideal. The Catholic Church has never condemned people who act in good faith but are not Catholic. ‘As we forgive those who trespass against us….’. Such people are not denounced, vilified and identified for torture; they are in fact prayed for. No Moslem can defend nor explain away, what their cult doctrine is really saying about ‘righteousness’. Within Muhammad’s cult, being just and ‘righteous’ is a laudatory appellation only applied to the most ‘fundamentalist’ of Muhammandans.
