The title is pretty clear. The Battle Array of Muslims is looked upon very kindly by the impersonal, materialist, dialectical force called 'Allah', which really smart people conflate with 'God'. There is no free will in the Koran. A cursory reading of the Koran, Islamic theology and Ulema or Juridical Muslim 'scholarship' makes this obvious – except to really smart people. Battle Array is what Muslims should be in when confronting unbelievers. Not to partake in the array is to quote Sura 60 verse 3; 'Grievously odious is it in the sight of Allah that you say what which you did not.' Why is Allah angry if you don't do what you say you will do on his behalf? Well the very next verse, number 4 tells us, 'Truly Allah loves those who fight in His cause in battle array, as if they were a solid cemented structure.'
Is that clear enough ? Or is it just another 'mistranslation'? Perhaps in PC gibberish 'battle array' means outfitted in flowing robes ready for prayers of tolerance, overflowing with love and aspirations to implement within the Muslim world, the immanent Golden Rule? Hardly. The Muslim duty is simply to follow Allah's will because:
“It is He Who has sent His Messenger with Guidance and the Religion of Truth, that he may proclaim it over all religion, even though the Pagans may detest (it). [60:9]
Is that clear enough? Or do we need a Phd student in Transliteration to break the code for us ? Islam is the last and most perfect of religions. The pagans including the Christians who are mocked within Islam for being polytheists [the Trinity of Christ]; might hate it. But for the Islamic true believer 60:9 is the essence of the cult's dogma. Islam rules, and must rule, because the dialectical force Allah said so. Case closed [or in the words of GlobaloneyWarming cult theorists, 'science is settled'].
What is a Muslim's duty then ?
“That you believe in Allah and His Messenger, and that you strive (your utmost) in the Cause of Allah, with your property and your persons: that will be best for you, if you but knew!” [60:11]
Use your money, and any wealth or assets you have to aid the cult of Allah. If you can't fight the pagans, at least fund the battle array against them. Better yet if you devote both your assets and your body to Allah's cause. 'Strive' or fight the infidel using both. Notice that this verse never says, nor does it remotely imply, that you 'strive' against the pagans of verse 9, with spirit, meditative love, and good intentions. Strive is connected directly and irrefutably to struggle, jihad and war. Period.
If you fight well enough than Allah will be pleased and in the course of battle:
“And another (favor will He bestow), which you do love, - help from Allah and a speedy victory. So give the Glad Tidings to the Believers.” [60: 13]
Isn't that Allah a swell character? Strive with your money, your being and arrange yourself with the other cult members in a cemented Battle Array, and if pleased Allah will grant the Muslims a quick victory. You have to be an obtuse occultist, demented by PC inanity to equate these phrases with spiritual struggle. The meaning is very obvious. Fight the infidel and if Allah, the only animating cause and effect force in the universe is happy, you will be granted a victory. How very tolerant! How extremely rational!
Why should the infidels be fought and defeated ? They strayed from the 'right path' of course. Certainly you realize that Jesus was a Muslim ? According to 60:6 Jesus said, “I am the Messenger of Allah (sent) to you confirming the Law (which came) before me,......But when he came with Clear Signs, they said, 'This is evident sorcery!'” [60:6] So the Jew teacher Christ, was really a Muslim prophet – some 600 years before Islam was invented. Since the Jews and Christians rejected his sharia teachings and the demonstration of his 'clear signs', it stands to reason in the Muslim 'mind', that these people need to be punished. Ergo a firm Battle Array and 'striving' for Allah is a Muslim duty.
You will search this Sura – and any Sura – in vain for even a hint of reason, rationality, natural law rights, love, and tolerance, all of which can be found in abundance within the New Testament. But we are told by really smart people that Islam is the true cult of peace and that Christianity is populated by morons, toothless superstitious midgets and racists. The exact opposite in both cases applies of course. Islam is a cult of fear, violence and the utter denial of free will. It is the paganism, not Christianity.
