Opinion: What the Koran Says

An anonymous friend analyzes the message of the Koran:

Dear Reader,

Below are texts from the Koran. Go check. Open the book, take a look, and be convinced. Make up your own mind. If you already harbor some suspicion and distrust of Islam, this text will help reinforce your views. If you view Islam with sympathy, or would like to give it the benefit of the doubt and hope for the best, well, I am sure you will try to dismiss these Koranic passages as inconsequential. That's your right. Thank God, we don't live in a Muslim country and we are free to think as we wish. But many violent events of the past five years, (if not the past 25; if not the past 1300 years!) have been inspired by these passages. Denying the power and authority of these texts in the minds of Muslims is irresponsible. We have a right and duty to protect ourselves, our families, our countries, and our civilization from those who want to destroy it.


I want to emphasize that this analysis of the Koran should not be used
to incite hatred in any way toward Muslims. It is strictly mean to be
informative; pointing our historical facts, and helping the public
understand what Muslims believe, or are prone to believe. We have to
remember that people in so-called Muslim lands have been forced to
follow this ideology from the very beginning in the 7th century. They
are not free to make up their minds. Just like other totalitarian
sects and ideologies, they are victims of a violent ideology that
threatens brutal physical punishment for those who deviate. But sadly,
the fact remains fact --- they believe in this violent ideology, and
will act on it.

Since it's in our nature to give people the benefit of the doubt,
let's say that perhaps only a small percent of the one billion Muslims
in the world accept such a literal interpretation of the Koran. But
let us not forget that history is full of small fanatical groups that
have made lots of troubles. Just think of the Nazis and Bolsheviks. In
both cases, a small fanatical band hijacked an entire nation and
forced its ideology on an unsuspecting people. Indeed, such is the
case with Muslim countries. But the indoctrination and brainwashing
has gone on for almost 1,400 years. The brutality and violence runs
deep for these populations, many of whom were Christians before the
7th century Islamic repression began.

And should some try to make the argument that all religions have their
extremists, remember the scale of Muslim violence is unprecedented in
the history of sectarian violence. For those old enough to remember,
the 20th century conflict between Protestant and Catholic in North
Ireland, which was accompanied by terrorism on both sides, now seems
like child's play compared to what Islam has cooked up.

In Orwellian tradition, some mainstream western media keep repeating
that Islam is the religion of peace, tolerance, and learning. A casual
glance at world history over the past 1300 years shows that from the
very first days, war and conquest have been the essence of Islam. In
fact, it's more accurate to describe it as a violent ideology bent on
conquest. Its attempted conquest of Europe, Asia and Africa was
launched as soon as Islam arose in the 7th century. Remember, in the
7th century large parts of the Middle East were Christian, ruled by
the Eastern Roman Empire, also known as Byzantium. As the warlord
prophet Mohammed raised an army and began chipping away at the
peripheral territories of Byzantium, most of the population was
slaughtered or converted by the sword of Islam. From the early 8th
century until the end of the 15th century, Spain groaned under Islamic
repression and brutality. In the 9th and 10th centuries, Italy was
constantly sacked by Muslims. The Balkans groaned under Islamic
repressions from the 15th century right up until the early 20th
century. The Crusades (which began in the 1090s) were a very late
attempt to stop the Muslim onslaught --- to defend Europe, to defend
Christian pilgrims to the Holy Land who were constantly being murdered
and robbed by Muslims, as well as defend the Christians of the Middle
East and Asia Minor.

Fast forward to the 20th century... since the Islamists came to power
in Iran in 1979 we once again see that Islam remains a violent and
bloody ideology; not to mention a totalitarian ideology like Nazi
Germany, or Soviet communism. Below are passages which inspire
Muslims... remember, most Muslims take this book to be the literal,
sacred word of their god, Allah, and they are willing to give their
lives to fulfill its call...

The headlines are mine, as are the footnotes. Since the translation is
not in simple English, I sometimes use brackets to clarify Who is Who
in the text. The numbers to the left denote the passage in the Koran.
I encourage you to find 30 minutes and read to the end; sadly, it gets
progressively worse. I think you will find this very helpful to get a
better understanding of Islam.


DESTROYING CHRISTENDOM

[30.2] The Romans (1) are vanquished,
[30.3] In a near land, and they, after being vanquished, shall overcome,
[30.4] Within a few years. Allah's is the command before and after;
and on that day the believers [Muslims] shall rejoice,

1) BY THE "ROMANS... IN A NEAR LAND" THE AUTHOR MOST LIKELY MEANS
BYZANTIUM, THE CHRISTIAN EMPIRE THAT WAS THE MOST ADVANCED IN THE
WORLD FROM THE 5TH CENTURY A.D. UNTIL ITS DESTRUCTION BY A RELENTLESS
MUSLIM ONSLUAGHT IN THE MID 15TH CENTURY. ISLAM BEGAN ITS ASSAULT
AGAINST BYZANTIUM AS SOON AS IT APPEARED IN THE ARABIAN DESERT IN THE
7TH CENTURY. IN THE 15TH CENTURY, WEST EUROPE STOOD BY THE SIDELINES
AND WATCHED AS MUSLIMS REPLACED A FLOURISHING CIVILIZATION WITH THEIR
REPRESSIVE AND BRUTAL SOCIAL ORDER. AFTER THIS CONQUEST, MUSLIM ARMIES
PLANNED TO CONQUER ALL OF EUROPE, BUT THEY WERE STOPPED BY THE ROMAN
CATHOLIC ORDER, THE KNIGHTS OF ST. JOHN, ALSO KNOWN AS THE MALTESE
KNIGHTS.

MOST DISTURBING FOR OUR ERA, HOWEVER... MUSLIMS MIGHT ALSO INTERPRET
THIS PASSAGE AS A CALL TO DESTROY THE VATICAN, OR THE EUROPEAN UNION,
WHICH WAS FOUNDED BY THE TREATY OF ROME.


DESTROYING ISRAEL

[17.2] And We gave Musa the Book and made it a guidance to the
children of Israel, saying: Do not take a protector besides Me;
[17.3] The offspring of those whom We bore with Nuh; surely he was a
grateful servant.
[17.4] And We had made known to the children of Israel in the Book:
Most certainly you [the Children of Israel] will make mischief in the
land twice, and most certainly you will behave insolently with great
insolence.
[17.5] So when the promise for the first of the two came, We sent over
you [the Children of Israel] Our servants, of mighty prowess, so they
went to and fro among the houses, and it was a promise to be
accomplished. (2)
[17.6] Then We gave you back the turn to prevail against them, and
aided you with wealth and children and made you a numerous band.
[17.7] If you [Muslims] do good, you will do good for your own souls,
and if you do evil, it shall be for them [the Children of Israel]. So
when the second promise came We raised another people that they may
bring you [the Children of Israel] to grief, and that they may enter
the temple as they entered it the first time, and that they might
destroy whatever they gained ascendancy over with utter destruction.
(2)

2) BOTH THESE PASSAGES ARE CLEARLY A CALL FOR THE SLAUGHTER OF THE JEWS.

[17.101] And certainly We gave Musa nine clear signs; so ask the
children of Israel. When he came to them [the Children of Israel],
Firon [a Jewish elder] said to him: Most surely I deem you, O Musa, to
be a man deprived of reason.
[17.102] Musa said: Truly you know that none but the Lord of the
heavens and the earth has sent down these as clear proof and most
surely I believe you, O Firon, to be given over to destruction.
[17.103] So he desired to destroy them out of the earth, but We
drowned him [Firon] and those with him all together; [obviously the
Jews in that town; 3]
[17.104] And We said to the Israelites after him [most likely those
Jews who were spared]: Dwell in the land: and when the promise of the
next life shall come to pass, we will bring you both together in
judgment.

3) OVERALL, THESE PASSAGES ARE THE FIRST RECORDED BLOODY POGROM
AGAINST JEWS. ISLAM IS INHERENTLY ANTI-SEMITIC, AND OPENLY CALLS FOR
THE GENOCIDE OF THE JEWS. NO SURPRISE THAT THE NAZIS AND THE SOVIETS,
BOTH PRODUCTS OF THE SECULAR AGE OF 'ENLIGHTENMENT' IN EUROPE AND WHO
ALSO SOUGHT THE DESTRUCTION OF THE JEWS, ALWAYS FOUND MUCH SYMPATHY IN
MUSLIM COUNTRIES.


DESTROYING NON-MUSLIMS

[17.16] And when We wish to destroy a town, (4) We send Our
commandment to the people of it who lead easy lives, but they
transgress therein; thus the word proves true against it, so We
destroy it with utter destruction.
[17.17] And how many of the generations did We destroy after Nuh! and
your Lord is sufficient as Knowing and Seeing with regard to His
servants' faults.
[17.18] Whoever desires this present life, We hasten to him therein
what We please for whomsoever We desire, then We assign to him the
hell; he shall enter it despised, driven away.
[17.19] And whoever desires the hereafter and strives for it as he
ought to strive and he is a believer; (as for) these, their striving
shall surely be accepted.

[17.33] And do not kill any one whom Allah has forbidden, except for a
just cause, and whoever is slain unjustly, We have indeed given to his
heir authority, so let him not exceed the just limits in slaying;
surely he is aided.

[17.58] And there is not a town but we will destroy it before the day
of resurrection or chastise it with a severe chastisement; this is
written in the Divine ordinance.

4) IT'S CLEAR THAT ISLAM IS NOT ONLY A 'RELIGION,' BUT IT'S ALSO A
BLUEPRINT FOR CONQUEST AND PILLAGING. NO OTHER RELIGION IN THE WORLD
SPEAKS SO HIGHLY OF DESTRUCTION AND CONQUEST.

[47.4] So when you meet in battle those who disbelieve, then smite
the necks until when you have overcome them, then make them prisoners,
and afterwards either set them free as a favor or let them ransom
themselves until the war terminates. (5) That shall be so; and if
Allah had pleased He would certainly have exacted what is due from
them, but that He may try some of you by means of others; and as for
those who are slain in the way of Allah, He will by no means allow
their deeds to perish.

5) ONCE AGAIN WE SEE THE VIOLENT NATURE OF ISLAM; ITS GLORIFICATION OF
WAR AND DESTRUCTION. THERE'S NO "LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF" OR
"LOVE YOUR ENEMIES" OR "TURN THE OTHER CHEEK." QUITE THE OPPOSITE;
ISLAM BOOSTS HOW RIGHTEROUS IT IS TO KILL THE UNBELIEVER.


MORE HATRED TOWARDS JEWS AND CHRISTIANS

[2.135] And the unbelievers say: If you be Jews or Christians, you
are on the right course. [Islam's] Answer to this: No! We [Muslims]
follow the religion of Ibrahim, the Hanif, and he was not one of the
polytheists [Christians, who also revere saints].

[2.140] No! Do you believe that Ibrahim and Ismail and Yaqoub and the
tribes were Jews or Christians? Say: Are you better knowing or Allah?
And who is more unjust than he who conceals a testimony that he has
from Allah? And Allah is not at all heedless of what you do.
[3.67] Ibrahim was not a Jew nor a Christian but he was (an) upright
(man), a Muslim, and he was not one of the polytheists. (6)
[5.51] O you [Muslims] who believe! do not take the Jews and the
Christians for friends; they are friends of each other (7); and
whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of
them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.
[9.30] And the Jews say: Uzair is the son of Allah; and the Christians
say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their
mouths; they imitate those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy
them [Christians and Jews]; how they are turned away! (8)
6) WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE THAT ABRAHAM WAS A MUSLIM!

7) AMEN! JEWS AND CHRISTIANS SHOULD BE FRIENDS.

8) IT'S CLEAR THAT JEWS AND CHRISTIANS ARE A DESPISED BUNCH IN THE
EYES OF THE RIGHTEOUS MUSLIM. ISLAM WILL ALWAYS SEE CHRISTIANS AND
HEWS AS THE ENEMY, FIT ONLY FOR DESTRUCTION. AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO
ARE CHRISTIANS --- THE KORAN MAKES THE BLASPHEMOUS CLAIM THAT CHRIST
IS NOT THE SON OF GOD.

AND LASTLY, I WILL QUOTE FROM THE VERY END OF THE NEW TESTAMENT'S BOOK
OF REVELATION: "AND I SOLEMNLY DECLARE TO EVERYONE: IF ANYONE ADDS
ANYTHING TO WHAT IS WRITTEN HERE, GOD WILL ADD TO THAT PERSON THE
PLAGUES DESCRIBED IN THIS BOOK."

SIX CENTURIES AFTER CHRIST, THE KORAN WAS JUST SUCH AN EARTHLY ATTEMPT
TO MANUFACTURE A HOLY REVELATION.

AND ONE LAST THOUGHT. CHRISTIANITY LEAVES ALL JUDGEMENT AND PUNISHMENT
UP TO GOD. FROM THE MOMENT A CHRISTIAN IS BORN, HE OR SHE IS TAUGHT TO
LOVE, EVEN ONE'S ENEMIES, AND LEAVE JUDGEMENT OF SUCH PEOPLE UP TO
GOD. THE KORAN MAKES IT CLEAR THAT THE MUSLIM BELIEVER IS RAISED TO BE
AN ACTIVE INSTRUMENT IN SO-CALLED DIVINE PUNISHMENT; WHERE GIVING YOUR
LIFE TO KILL THE UN-BELIEVER IS A GREAT VIRTUE.
