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 illness, mental, psychological, societal, and cultural of Muhammad’s cult named Submission or Islam. A cult which cannot laugh at itself, does not allow art or iconography, and strikes out like a ravenous, blind, partially lame animal at any who dare to criticise, mock, or even mildly inquire about the cult and its doctrines. Salmon Rushdie some 34 years ago penned a hard-to-read-critique of the pagan cult (celestial, moon, or fertility take your pick as to what the Al Lah or Lord of Mecca was and is), named the Satanic Verses, which is an elucidation of Muhammad’s ‘error’ in allowing pagan idols such as the Sun, Venus or fertility icons to be worshipped alongside the Al Lah or Lord of Mecca. This political trade-off was agreed to by Muhammad in order to secure some peace for his cult. In Muslim lore however, the verses were Satanic in their origin with the devil tricking Muhammad into such a concession. Hence, they were removed from the Koran, Hadiths and Muslim theology.
A fatwa or death sentence issued by Iran and other Muslims, has been open on Rushdie ever since he dared to mildly criticise the Muhammad cult. In Buffalo recently he was attacked by a paid Muslim assassin and knifed on stage at a literary event. The lack of a reaction from Western ‘intellectuals’ (a derogatory term) and the media (fake), is sufficient to show that Muslim violence does work. Catholics won’t murder you for critiquing the Old or New Testaments or calling into question the Nicene creed or offering that perhaps Pelagianism was not such a bad compromise on the nature of Christ, grace and free-will (viewed as heretical by the Catholic Church). You won’t be knifed, beheaded, or shot up for investigating Catholic doctrine or history. But not so with the Muhammadans. Even a whisper of suspicion against the Koran, Muhammad’s life as a war-leader and murderer, or some concern about child-bride marriages, the massacring of Christians in various Muslim countries every year, or the various Jihad attacks since 9-11, is likely to result in threats against your person, and in some ‘Western’ countries, imprisonment for hate speech.
Writer Douglas Murray in The Telegraph states the obvious.
The attack in New York on Salman Rushdie has brought back sharply into focus the fact that the Booker-winning novelist has been a target for Islamists for over three decades, ever since the publication of his novel The Satanic Verses in 1988. After that novel’s publication the Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran issued a fatwa against Rushdie. Encouraged by British Muslims, the Iranian leader accused Rushdie of blasphemy and put a bounty on his head. For many years Rushdie lived in hiding, protected by the British state.
Rushdie described those bewildering, terrifying, heroic years living in hiding in his 2012 memoir Joseph Anton. It is quite a work, detailing every demoralising corner of the affair. It includes accounts of the politicians of both left and right who failed to support the novelist, as well as the writers, artists and other public figures who pretended that the Ayatollah had committed an offence, but so had the author of the novel. And of course the crowds of Muslims in Bradford and other cities who burned copies of the book and were allowed to call for Rushdie´s murder on British streets and television.
Muslims screaming on the streets of England for Rushdie to be murdered. Imagine the fake news and ‘expert’ reaction if Catholics or Christians took to the streets demanding that the mosques be torn down after a Muslim Jihad attack, or in solidarity with the thousands of Christians slaughtered and enslaved every year by Muslims in Muslim states. But when Muslims are the ones demonstrating an intolerant, violent and supremacist dogma, the usual array of experts, intellectuals and the science, say nothing.
Muslim ‘theologians’ or cult apologists, admit that the longer Suras are the most important in the book ‘Recital’, with Suras 2, 5, and 9 holding the most honourable positions. Sura 3 is a long-disconnected Sura, akin to Sura 2 in many ways, especially its overt supremacism. It attempts to convince the reader that Moses was the prophet of Al Lah or Baal (Hebraic theology is the opposite of Baal or Al Lah worship) and that the followers of the 'Messenger' or Mohammed, will dominate the Jews, Christians and Unbelievers in general. There is no Golden Rule within these Suras and very little charity, love, tolerance or respect is displayed especially when 'outsiders' are discussed. Hence the term supremacism is apt and obvious when trying to make sense out of admittedly, very poorly written text.
The main thrust of Sura 3 is pretty clear and deeply disturbing to any rational, spiritual or Christian-mind: obey Mohammed; obey Allah; reject Allah and you will most likely die; support Allah and you might be blessed; and Allah will decide on all matters. What in essence does this doctrine teach us?
The idea of this Sura and of much of Islam is that humans don't matter. Submit to this Allah and you might be blessed, but you must submit to him or it (the moon idol of Mecca or Baal, is Al Lah or the Lord of Mecca). Muhammad demands that all humans obey the archaic, bronze-age rituals and beliefs of the moon deity of Mecca and that this Al Lah is the only power in the world.
This monotheistic appropriation of Yahweh is, however, quite different than the Judeo-Christian view of the divine. In Muhammadanism the human is essentially worthless. Your only value is in your piety in obeying Allah and his interpreter Muhammad. Thinking, criticising, inventing, inquiry, living, are unimportant. Only Al Lah is important and to understand Al Lah you must follow the word of his ‘messenger’ and following that ‘word’ gives your life value.
Reject those who deny Al Lah:
4. Then those who reject faith in the Signs of Allah will suffer the severest penalty, and Allah is exalted in Might, Lord of Retribution.
12. Say to those who reject Faith “Soon will you be vanquished and gathered together to Hell, - an evil bed indeed (to lie on)!
21. As to those who deny the Signs of Allah, and in defiance of right, slay the prophets, and slay those who teach just dealing with mankind, announce to them a grievous penalty (note, an obvious warning to Jews)
Fundamentalism:
7. He it is Who has sent down to you the Book: in it are verses basic or fundamental (of established meaning); they are the foundation of the Book: others are allegorical. But those in whose hearts is perversity follow the part therof that is allegorical,.....
19. The Religion before Allah is Islam (submission to His Will): nor did the People of the Book dissent therefrom except through envy of each other, after knowledge had come to them. But if any deny the Signs of Allah, Allah is swift in calling to account.
20. ....And say to the People of the Book and to those who are unlearned: “Do you (also) submit yourselves?” If they do, they are in right guidance, but if they turn back, your duty is to convey the Message; and in Allah's sight are (all) His servants.
Obey Muhammad:
132. And obey Allah and the Messenger; that you may obtain mercy.
164. Allah conferred a great favour on the Believers when He sent among them a Messenger from among themselves.....before that they had been in manifest error.
Muslims will rule:
110. You are the best of Peoples, evolved for mankind, enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in Allah. If only the People of the Book had faith....
123. Allah had helped you are Badr, when you were a contemptible little force, then fear Allah; thus you may show your gratitude.
Note; A smaller Muslim force led by Mohammed defeated a larger Meccan army at Badr in 622 A.D. This victory gave Mohammed and his band of basically lawless robbers great prestige.
Al Lah and the elect:
26. Say: “O Allah! Lord of Power (and Rule), You give Power to whom you please, and You strip off Power from who You please: You endue with honor whom You please.....”
60. The Truth comes from Allah alone; so be not of those who doubt.
The Sura demands a slavish cult mentality. It is riddled with commands to obey and follow only Muhammad and his interpretation of what Baal or Al Lah demands from Arabs. There are no miracles, no healings, no forgiveness, nor division of faith from the state. Every aspect of life is tied up into a complete package, a totalitarian creed based on what Muhammad demands. The demonisation and linking of Christians and Jews with evil and Satan is an important element in Koranic supremacism. No immanent, universal or Catholic appreciation of the divine logos, or creation makes an appearance. The stench of bronze age paganism issues forth.
(source: The Holy Quran, Abdullah Yusuf Ali, 1995)
Imagine that you have travelled to another location to attend to personal affairs. You step off a train in some locale, take your bags and proceed to your destination. You walk a few paces to find some transport. Then the reality of ideological contamination assaults you.
A man confronts you face to face and screams at you in another language. His face contorted with hate, almost touches yours, the neck veins are throbbing, his temples are bursting, his hair is flying and with fist pumping theatrics he spits in your face and walks away. Thus, battered and a little terrified, you find a taxi and inquire nervously to the driver what just happened. He replies, ‘oh that was a man of religion and peace warning you to leave and that infidels are not wanted here.’ How ironic. Confused you touch your attaché bag full of charity money that you are donating to the local hospital as a gift from Christians in your own country to this desolate backwater and wonder what you are doing in this location.
Not all people who believe in various ideologies are fanatics of course. Not all Christians for instance are charitable or good. Many ‘militant’ Christians are may be dangerous in a few ways. Yet I have never been able to satisfactorily find in any writings; webzines; punditry; or resource why Islam is named as a ‘religion’. It is a mystifying myth that confuses the central issue of our times – that of defending civilization against what I would term is nothing more than barbaric paganism.
Why is Islam a religion? If Islam is a religion, why isn’t Corona ? After all the Corona-oligists have named the corrupt criminal head of the US CDC, Anthony Fauci, as the Pope of Science, though precious little science can be found anywhere in the Corona cult. Fauci regularly screams and shrieks that of course he and the CDC-Corona cult is ‘the’ science, vaccinations, which have only injured and killed historically (there is not a single independent source of proof of any efficacy from any period of history for any serum, ever), are safe and effective and essential to survival. Pharmaceutical firms, the media and governmental establishment repeat this gospel. The immune system is now anti-science, and there is only ‘one’ approach to viral infections, that at the end of a dirty needle ejecting poisons, metals and biological debris.
As with Corona, Islam is of course not monolithic. Sunnism, Shiaism, Salafism and many other subgroups all have different sects, beliefs, and degrees of commitment. Yet the central fact remains that the Koran, the Hadiths [supplements explaining what Mohammed really meant in the Koran] and Sharia Law [the legal code which enforces Koranic doctrine], are the foundations of Islamic life. There might be differences between the subgroups and sects on the literal interpretation of various parts of the trinity of the Islamic ideology, but all Muslims believe that civil, political and religious society is subservient to the Koran, Hadiths and Sharia Law.
Islam like Corona, Hitlerite paganism, or the fascist tenets that inform Russian or Chinese exceptionalism exemplified in Communist doctrine, is the opposite of Christianity. Paganisms elevate the leader, the cult, the universality of the program, and the destruction of individuality, responsibility, and the meaning of life. Paganisms prefer death; a violent reordering of reality and the imposition of slavery to the ideology, in place of the world of the six senses, freedom and the celebration of life.
In the Christian world, Caesar can take what is his; and you shall keep what is yours including your own personal system of faith. Charity, aid, recognition that slavery is wrong, females are equal, that good acts transcend this world, and that character and honour matter – all this and more comes from Christianity. Many parts of Christian history can be criticized, and many acts of bloody violence emanated from religious hatred. But the underlying reality is that the faith and mental code that informs Christianity shaped, and is a vital part of, civilization.
What does Islam teach? The Koran is full of hate and bile against Jews and Christians. The Koran supported by the Hadiths loudly proclaims that all of mankind must be Muslim. The leaders of Islam for the past 1400 years have stated, with unrelenting fanaticism, that their ideology will dominate the world. A wide swathe of Islamic populations, perhaps 25 % or more, has no regard for other ideas, cultures, or even life itself. This is evidenced by the daily butchering in Iraq and elsewhere as Muslims kill other Muslim innocents for various reasons including revenge killings; murdering those who help the infidel; lusting for power; or destroying those who are less fundamentalist. What you see in Baghdad is the clear expression of a paganism with no regard for life, for innocents or for civilization.
Why then is Islam still declared a religion?
Because it screams in your face that it is. Because it builds temples on top of buildings and sites from other more advanced cultures. Because Muslims threaten you if you dare question their religiosity. Because they strut with ignorant pride in collective self-madness assured that they will dominate lesser beings. Because like Pope Fauci and Corona, and the cult of Globalists, they assault you if you dare question their sanity, their made up fiction presented as science, or the reality that their doctrines kill, injure, destroy.
Culture is King. If you want to understand the culture of an ideology, or the culture of society at large look at its leadership, review the personality of its founders and analyse their ‘great men and women’. The American Constitution was premised on ideas from John Locke and the ancient Stoics. Jefferson’s holy trinity [life liberty and the pursuit of happiness], is rooted in Christianity, the Western Enlightenment and the English liberal tradition.
Now look at Islam.
Mohammad was the exact converse of Christ. Mohammad was an illiterate who killed; murdered; raped; engaged in connubial and lascivious sex; stole; plundered; and engaged in war to spread his political control. Christ did none of these things. Mohammed took a 3000-year-old moon-cult, added some monotheistic inventions he took from the Jews and Christians and proclaimed it holy and good. He in effect invented a political ideology and said it was the natural successor to the Christian state and only he could interpret Ali-lah’s [moon cult deity] word.
Read about the 1400-year jihad against any and all cultures. Arabs, Turks, and Muslims have warred and destroyed civilizations ranging from black Africa to white Europe, to the Buddhists and Hindus in India. 30 million blacks were sold into slavery [vs. 10 million shipped to the ‘new world’]; 25 million or more whites were used as chattel in Muslim empires; and about 30 million Hindus and Buddhists were killed by marauding Muslim armies. This perpetual war, hate, acrimony and pagan fanaticism has never been equaled in the history of man.
Yet Islam is revered as a ‘religion’. I would like the media, the politicians and the Islamic elite to explain why we should take seriously this idea that Islam is a religion. Was Hitlerism a religion too? It is not enough to scream and spit in my face and threaten me for asking this question. Maybe outlining why others should respect an obscenely violent and pagan cult from Arabia as a religion, would be a good starting point at dialogue to help defuse Islamic violence.
Then again Muslims have historically never proven themselves adept at rational discourse. Neither were the Corona cultists, the socialist Nazis or the Communists – those other favourites of our media elite.
Bishop Fauci, Apostle Gates and the Church of Corona, show that much similarity exists between the atavistic, pagan hate of humans, real science, and medicine and Muhammad’s not-so-original cult of Mecca, which pre-existed Muhammad by millennia. Irrationality, lies, violence, death, deceit, hate, the demarcation of the world into ‘us and them’, saturate both cults.
