Angels and 'Confederates' helping Moslems defeat the Jews and pagans of Medina in a 'Jihad'. What prophet of a theology, is also not a leader of war, pillage, plunder, slave trading, and rape? Surely Zoroaster and Christ did the same?

And when the believers saw Al-Ahzab (the Confederates), they said: "This is what Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad SAW) had promised us, and Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad SAW) had spoken the truth, and it only added to their faith and to their submissiveness (to Allah).

Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah [i.e. they have gone out for Jihad (holy fighting), and showed not their backs to the disbelievers], of them some have fulfilled their obligations (i.e. have been martyred), and some of them are still waiting, but they have never changed [i.e.they never proved treacherous to their covenant which they concluded with Allah] in the least.


Sura 33 has three main themes.  First, submit yourself to the 'one' or ilah, represented by the 'great man' Muhammad. The 'one or Lord' named ilah is the only free-will force in the universe. Further not to follow his chief spokesman's book named Recital, and respect and never question he totalitarian aspect of Muhammad's command, is of course to 'sin' and all sinners will be punished on Judgement Day.  Second, even more importantly Muhammad and earlier Moslems especially Quraish Arabs are superior to later Moslems. The Muhammadan cult is thus a hierarchy of command and control, and quite fatalistic to a fantastic degree:   


"It is also hierarchic. Mohammed and friends happen to be 'better' than later Muslims. The Koran says so, The Prophet is closer to the Believers than their own selves, and his wives are their mothers. Blood-relations among each other have closer personal ties, in the Decree of Allah, than (the Brotherhood of) Believers and Muhaijirs:...”[33:6]


Indeed Muhammad is so important that even to annoy him will guarantee your demise:

Verily, those who annoy Allah and His Messenger (SAW) Allah has cursed them in this world, and in the Hereafter, and has prepared for them a humiliating torment.


Since Muhammad creates Allah, it is rather convenient that Allah has bestowed privileges, rights and importance to Muhammad and his chosen followers, denied to others. Also convenient are the revelations of violence, hate, supremacism and intolerance which issue forth from the Allah-thing [formerly Hub'Al the moon deity], to Muhammad. This is the third theme – the destruction of the Jews and pagans of Medina and why Allah 'forced' Moslems to wipe them out. Islam's war on those who don't follow Miuhammad is not a political-social construct – at least this is what the Koran maintains. Moslems must humiliate, conquer, reduce and control non-Moslems because Allah said so. This 'divine guidance' exonerates Moslems from wrong-doing. How convenient indeed.


Of the 76 verses in this chapter, fully 1/3 are violent: 8, 10-23, 24-27, 48, 57, 60, 61, 64, 66.


Verse 48 for example, tells Moslems not to trust or believe non-Moslems:

And obey not the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and harm them not (till you are ordered). And put your trust in Allah, and Sufficient is Allah as a Wakil (Trustee, or Disposer of affairs).


Verses 8, 64 and 66 summarizes what happens to Unbelievers:


033:008

That He may ask the truthfuls (Allah's Messengers and His Prophets) about their truth (i.e. the conveyance of Allah's Message that which they were charged with). And He has prepared for the disbelievers a painful torment (Hell-fire).

033:064

Verily, Allah has cursed the disbelievers, and has prepared for them a flaming Fire (Hell).

033:066
* 
URL

On the Day when their faces will be turned over in the Fire, they will say: "Oh, would that we had obeyed Allah and obeyed the Messenger (Muhammad SAW)."


Verses 60 and 61 warn the Jews and pagans of Medina of their fate:

If the hypocrites, and those in whose hearts is a disease (evil desire for adultery, etc.), and those who spread false news among the people in Al-Madinah, cease not, We shall certainly let you overpower them, then they will not be able to stay in it as your neighbours but a little while.

033:061

URL

Accursed, wherever found, they shall be seized and killed with a (terrible) slaughter.


Verses 10-20 outline how Allah saved the Moslems in their battle for Medina against Jews allied with Arab pagans. Allah also knows which Moslems did not fight properly or with the right mix of toughness and discipline. These men were undoubtedly punished. In anvy event without the “one's”help [maybe it was Obama?]; the Moslems would have been defeated:


033:017

Say: "Who is he who can protect you from Allah if He intends to harm you, or intends mercy on you?" And they will not find, besides Allah, for themselves any Wali (protector, supporter, etc.) or any helper.

033:018

Allah already knows those among you who keep back (men) from fighting in Allah's Cause, and those who say to their brethren "Come here towards us," while they (themselves) come not to the battle except a little.

033:024

That Allah may reward the men of truth for their truth (i.e. for their patience at the accomplishment of that which they covenanted with Allah), and punish the hypocrites if He will or accept their repentance by turning to them in Mercy. Verily, Allah is OftForgiving, Most Merciful.

033:025

And Allah drove back those who disbelieved in their rage, they gained no advantage (booty, etc.). Allah sufficed for the believers in the fighting (by sending against the disbelievers a severe wind and troops of angels). And Allah is Ever AllStrong, AllMighty.

033:026

And those of the people of the Scripture who backed them (the disbelievers) Allah brought them down from their forts and cast terror into their hearts, (so that) a group (of them) you killed, and a group (of them) you made captives.

033:027

And He caused you to inherit their lands, and their houses, and their riches, and a land which you had not trodden (before). And Allah is Able to do all things.


The Jews and pagans of Medina were thus reduced by the Moslems through Jihad. Allah 'caused' the victory, just as he 'caused' or forced the Moslems to acquire the women, the assets, the money, and the houses of the Infidels. How nice. The warring, brigandage and murder – oftentimes of unarmed Jews and pagans some of whom were butchered in their fields – was the result of Allah's dictums, not Muhammad's bloodlust for power and plunder. Or so the Moslem narrative would like us to believe.


Any person or group who 'blames' or ascribes to objects of celestial or temporal veneration their deeds of inhumanity suffers from various psychoses. This chapter is an exposition of excuses and rationales as to why Moslems were coerced into destroying the Jews and others of Medina. Islam is of course a violent political-military theology. Justifying war and plunder by naming 'Allah' as the prime mover of Jihad is not only disingenuous but deranged. How then does this concept of the Allah-thing comport itself with the endless moaning from Moslems that Islam is peace ? It doesn't of course.
