23:1 Successful indeed are the believers.....

23:90 Nay, but We have brought them the truth (Islamic Monotheism), and verily, they (disbelievers) are liars.

23:103 And those whose scales (of good deeds) are light, they are those who lose their ownselves, in Hell will they abide.

Sura 23 reviewed here, contains at least 28 verses of violence out of 118. Since the entire chapter is premised on why Moslems are superior and why they will rule and dominate the Unbelievers, one could make a good case that the entire chapter is in actual fact supremacist and a litany of hate-speech. The more lurid 28 statements of violence against non-Moslems include the story of Noah and the great flood – Infidels and Criminals who don't follow the Allah cult will be drowned. Three examples are below:

So Noah, the tipsy imbiber of the Old Testament was punished for disobeying the moon deity of Mecca, named Al-Lah, conflated by Muhammad and his friends into the only 'god' of all the gods. The great flood is an example of the Al-Lah thing's power and ayat, or proof of his/its existence. Through such a confusion and conflation Moslems can maintain that all Jews and Christians are following a wayward and sinful theology which has bastardized the true book and liturgy of the one true 'Lord' or 'Lah'. For this they must be punished.

Sura 23's violence against non-Moslem is matched by its demands for slavery and submission to this moon deity idol of Mecca. Moslems can and must own slaves and are allowed to have sex with them [23-6]. The Koran's assumption is that all good Moslems are men. Women, according to Muhammad, comprised 99% of Hell's inhabitants. Moslems pace 23:47 are simply superior to to other humans and must humiliate them [or control them as Moslem slaves]. Further the best humans are the ones most submissive to the moon idol Hub'Al or Al-Lah [23-109]:

Sura 23 is a good starting point for anyone who has not yet read the Koran, but wants to know the essence of what the cult stands for. Most of the chapter is unbridled violence against non-Moslems infused with admonitions that pious cult members must totally submit themselves to Muhammad's [aka Al-Lah's] rule. Slavery was so endemic and so accepted a part of the pagan Arab world, that it is not a surprise that the Koran discusses – quite openly – the need for the sex slavery of women, the enslavement of Infidels and the humiliation of non-Moslems who are in Moslem power.

22:39: Permission to fight is given to those (i.e. believers against disbelievers), who are fighting them, (and) because they (believers) have been wronged, and surely, Allah is Able to give them (believers) victory

Sura 22 blends the two twin themes one finds permeating the Islamic cult. The first is slavery. Slavery was an important social and economic platform for Muhammad's cult. The second theme is that of intolerance and war. The text in Sura 22 reviewed here, is largely devoted to why and how the Infidel must be fought and killed. Over 1/3 of the verses are plainly violent and hateful of non-Moslems.

Nice. Very charitable and full of multi-cult tolerance.

The unmitigated and extensive violence is suffused with demands that humans be good slaves to the unknowable, unreachable and unfathomable Al-Lah thing, or 'The Lord', who was of course Hub'Al the Meccan moon deity of the Kabaa shrine. Muhammad simply conflated Hub'Al with Judeo-Christian ideals of a monotheistic divinity.

The Al-Lah thing loves his slaves. In fact Moslems should attack those who are greedy, full of pride and who have renounced or disavowed following Muhammad. These are the enemies of Al-Lah as verse 09; which precedes the verse above regarding Al-Lah's justice to his slaves, makes clear:

The enemies of Muhammad's cult will burn in Hellfire, after suffering temporal torment. This is a rather plain and grave warning. Since Muhammad's cult is premised on totalitarian ideals, and slavish devotion to both the Koran and the Al-Lah – the supposed divine creator of the Koran – we can assume that debate, free-will, rationality and self-direction are not permitted and restricted. Ritualization, prostration, unthinking devotion to the cult and its liturgy are the concepts to be held in high esteem and rewarded by the Al-Lah idol. Any sentient person would name such an organization for what it is – a cult – and one appropriately named 'Submission'.  

An important factor and impetus in the irruption of the Arabs, out of Arabia and into the Mediterranean civilization was of course the allure of slaves. Sex slaves as concubines and polygamous families. Domestic slaves obeying the whim of the man. Military slaves and public service slaves in bondage to the state and its ruling caste of a few families. The refrain that 'Islam is peace' ignores the history of 15 million Black slaves, and 10 million white slaves, which greased the commerce, the life and the very heart of the Arab and later Turkic empires. This says nothing about the Moslem Mongol devastation and lust for slaves.

Violence, looting and plundering were also the vital mainsprings, along with slavery, of Islam's advance. Sura 21 reviewed here, is yet another tired exposition of how all humans are really born Moslem. Therefore the Jews and Christians are wayward Moslems who have lost the right path to 'god' or Al-Lah the male Meccan moon idol. This makes it much easier to punish them, since by definition the liturgy and practices of Judeo-Christianity are inferior to that of Submission:

“..[Sura 21 is] Another conflation and further dialectical elaboration. In Islamic theory Judaism and Christianity are mere 'stages' on the way to the perfect world of Islam. Hub'Allah or the 'one' supersedes Judeo-Christian monotheism. Muhammad trumps Christ and Moses. It is all very banal, yet accepted by the big brains in today's world as a 'religious fact'. Nonsense. As reviewed previously, this Sura has nothing interesting, ethical or religious to offer:

Allah – whatever it is – will conquer all and therefore those of 'faith' will simply submit themselves, prostrate their pathetic human forms, and grovel for Allah's approbation. An expression of humanism, hope, free-will and self-assertion this is not: 

35. Every soul shall have a taste of death: and We test you by evil and by good by way of trial. To Us must you return. 

92. Verily, this Brotherhood of yours is a single Brotherhood, and I am your Lord and Cherisher: therefore serve Me (and no other). 

108. Say: “What has come to me by inspiration is that your God is One God (Allah): will you therefore bow to His Will (in Islam)”

This chapter contains no fewer than 20 verses of violence and hate against non-Moslem, many of them graphic in how they describe the torment and destruction of Jews and Christians. Along with the violence we have the obsession with 'slaves' and slavery. Jesus is thus a slave of Al-Lah and by extension Muhammad:

021:026 URL And they say: "The Most Beneficent (Allah) has begotten a son (or children)." Glory to Him! They [those whom they call children of Allah i.e. the angels, 'Iesa (Jesus) son of Maryam (Mary), 'Uzair (Ezra), etc.], are but honoured slaves.

All pious people must be Moslem, and must submit to the Al-Lah thing and be his or its slave:

021:105 URL And indeed We have written in Zabur (Psalms) [i.e. all the revealed Holy Books the Taurat (Torah), the Injeel (Gospel), the Qur'an] after (We have already written in) Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz (the Book, that is in the heaven with Allah), that My righteous slaves shall inherit the land (i.e. the land of Paradise).

Even Jewish prophets are little better than the slaves of Muhammad's family deity built in red carnate stone outside the Kabaa and who was known as Hub'Al[lah], or the Lord of the Kabaa. Jesus is thus a messenger in the tradition of Muhammad, trumpeting the power of the Al-Lah or Hub'Al to humanity. He was not divine or of the essence of a higher power. He was just a Moslem preacher. Forget the fact that Al-Lah has nothing in common with the concept of 'God' as enunciated by Christ. Focus solely on the fact that such a declaration attempts to demean and diminish Christ and his nature, and to relegate him to Muhammad's inferior.

Indeed only Al-Lah's slaves are 'righteous' and will inherit the earth including the 'land of paradise' or the after-life. Jews and Christians will not only lose the temporal battle, they are destined for hell-fire and eternal damnation as 20 verses in this chapter make clear. Islam is premised on violence and enslavement. An odd mixture indeed for a supposed 'faith'.

The Koran demands slavery. A good Moslem is one who is totally submitted to the cult of Muhammad. Over 500 verses discuss slavery in some aspect out of a total of 6236. No religion worthy of the name would be so fixated on human bondage and supine devotion to an unknowable, wrathful, free-will denying celestial idol.  

Sura 20 reviewed here, has about 25% of its text devoted to hate speech and violence against the hated non-Moslem. Some poetic examples include:

And

How loving. Reject the Ayat and proof provided by Muhammad, namely the Koran, and the Al-Lah thing's divine guidance and especial concern for Muhammad's rule and power; and you will be labelled as a criminal, tormented, destroyed and consigned to Hell. Post-modern 'experts' and Moslems call this a religious doctrine. The rest of us name it the Manichean ravings of a cult.

Sura 20, like much of the Koran, mentions slavery and the fact that the most exalted of Moslems are slaves of the Al-Lah. Supine knaves are the true believers of the Meccan moon deity. No free-will, rationality or individual responsibility is needed. The Koran never mentions such concepts, anyone who states otherwise is simply a liar.

So Sura 20, as so many do in the Koran, tries to convince the reader that Moses was a Moslem, and that the exodus of Hebrews from Egypt, back to their Canaanite lands, was aided by the helping hand of the Al-Lah idol. The Hebrews are the Ibadi or slaves of Al-Lah. This oft-repeated Koranic nonsense tries to achieve a number of objectives. First, it destroys the validity of Judaism by appropriating one of its main architects as a disciple of Muhammad. Second, it conflates Yahweh with Al-Lah – these two ideas of monotheism have nothing in common of course, but the allusion that Yahweh is really Al-Lah serves to de-legitimize the Jewish 'god'. Third, it baldly states that Jews are really Moslem slaves to be guided by the Messengers or Prophets of Al-Lah. This legitimizes Muhammad's prophet-hood and 'right' to rule over the Jews, and force them back to the 'sharia' or right path via the cult of Al-Lah.

Sura 20 should be read by all Jews who maintain, without any proof, that Islam is a branch of Judaism, or that Islam is similar to the doctrines cantered around the Torah. Nothing more ridiculous can be proposed, than the self-loathing Jewish tendency to dismiss Islam's inbred hatred of the Jews with the claim that 'it is similar to our monotheism'. Islam and the Old Testament theologies have nothing in common. Indeed Jews are marked out for destruction as this Sura makes clear. If the Jews do not become 'good slaves' of the Al-Lah thing, their annihlation is assured. 

Sura 18 reviewed here, moderately engages in hate speech in only 20% or so of its text. This Sura is famous for asserting that the Suns sets in a muddy marsh in the West. A sure sign that Al-Lah is 'god', that the Koran explains all 'science', and that Muhammad et al. were sophisticated geniuses drenched in the rational methods of deduction and learning:

But Muhammad was just a 'slave' of the Al-Lah idol. What can slaves possibly know except miserable obedience? Surely scientific truth is not their domain:

Sura 19 reviewed here, is also obsessed with violence against Unbelievers and of course the promotion of a cult of slaves. Christians will be surprised to learn the Jesus or Isu was really just a slave of the Al-Lah idol of Mecca. So too were all the Jewish prophets:

Surely there is no madness in ascribing Christ as a pious Moslem ?

In this vein Sura 19 maintains that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was actually the sister of Aaron, the spokesman of Moses who lived circa 1250 years before Christ [the exact dates of Moses' life are in dispute]. The verse was rewritten to ascertain that the mentioned Aaron is not the brother of Moses, but another Aaron. But there is of course, no Aaron who is contemporary with Christ. You can search the historical record. None exists. So this phrase obviously places Mary in the same period of Moses, and was later hastily redacted.

Koranic genius. So accurate, beautiful, rational and poetic.

Suras 18 and 19 are also very concerned about the slaves of Al-Lah.

Moslem slaves enter paradise. The infidel goes to Hell.

Both Suras 18 and 19 are plainly strange. They are a mishmash of hate, demands for knavery and submission to Muhammad [or Al-Lah, both are the same]; and both contain falsities about both the Old and New Testaments, that a supposed 'god' would never make. The Koran is about as uncreated, as the cult rituals of global-warming, or the pagan rites and works of Nazism.

5% of the Koran discusses slaves. This means that over 500 verses discuss slavery in some aspect out of a total of 6236. Slavery was so accepted and endemic in the pre-Muhammadan constellation of Arab social and political development, that it was simply accepted by Muhammad and his moon deity the 'One' or Al-Lah, as an immutable fact of nature. So now in our post-modern world, a cult which waxes lyrical about slavery is now positioned as a 'religion'. How rational.

In the madness which Moslems and their craven apologists name a 'holy book', we find out that Noah, the supposed drunkard of the Old Testament and saviour of animal life was in fact a Moslem:

017:003 URL "O offspring of those whom We carried (in the ship) with Nuh (Noah)! Verily, he was a grateful slave."

A grateful slave of the Meccan moon deity and family idol of Muhammad, named 'The One' or Al-Lah. One supposes that Noah even in his cups, would probably not have recognized the 610 AD creation of the monotheistic 'god', culled from Ba'al, Hub'Al and the Babylonian-Assyrian celestial cult of moon worship. But maybe Noah was a secret Moslem, way ahead of his time. They key is that Moslems or at least the Koran, maintain that he was a 'slave' of Al-Lah. The cult of Muhammad likes its slaves.

In Sura 17 reviewed here, we find out 2 facts: 1) The Jews are to be killed and 2) blind, ignorant supplication is demanded by this Al-Lah thing, of his slaves.

Destroy the Jews and Unbelievers:

Obey the Al-Lah thing:

Fear the Al-Lah. Only he or it has free-will. Obey his injunction to war against the Jews, since they have ignored the warnings of Muhammad, and are too arrogant and greedy for their own good, placing themselves above Moslems who are of course, in the eyes of this Al-Lah, the greatest of humans.

What does Muhammad [aka Al-Lah ?] want? Simple. Slaves. Sura 17 has lots to say about being a good slave, including the slaves of Al-Lah killing Jews and Christians:

017:005 URL So, when the promise came for the first of the two, We sent against you slaves of Ours given to terrible warfare. They entered the very innermost parts of your homes. And it was a promise (completely) fulfilled.

017:017 URL And how many generations have We destroyed after Nuh (Noah)! And Sufficient is your Lord as an All-Knower and All-Beholder of the sins of His slaves.

017:030 URL Truly, your Lord enlarges the provision for whom He wills and straitens (for whom He wills). Verily, He is Ever All-Knower, All-Seer of His slaves.

017:053 URL And say to My slaves (i.e. the true believers of Islamic Monotheism) that they should (only) say those words that are the best. (Because) Shaitan (Satan) verily, sows disagreements among them. Surely, Shaitan (Satan) is to man a plain enemy.

17:065 URL "Verily! My slaves (i.e the true believers of Islamic Monotheism), you have no authority over them. And All-Sufficient is your Lord as a Guardian."

017:096 URL Say: "Sufficient is Allah for a witness between me and you. Verily! He is the All-Knower, the All-Seer of His slaves."

Slaves, slaves, slaves. Since when is a theology so obsessed with developing slaves ? A religion must free your mind, spirit, soul and body. Islam demands the opposite, even adjuring its 'slaves' to 'enter the homes' of the cult's enemies to slaughter Infidels. 5% or more the Koran discusses slavery. And this is a holy book ?

Slaves must follow the Al-Lah. This is what Muhammad states. Failure to do so will result in your temporal destruction and eternal punishment. Islam or Submission is a very good name for a cult of slaves.

Only 5% of the Koran discusses slaves. Over 500 verses discuss slavery in some aspect out of a total of 6236. This is a remarkable testimony to the pagan origins of the Koran, premised on Arab rituals and social norms, including that of slavery [not to mention, plunder, warring, brigandage and racism]. Slavery was so accepted and endemic in the pre-Muhammadan constellation of Arab social and political development, that it was simply accepted by Muhammad and his moon deity the 'One' or Al-Lah, as an immutable fact of nature.

Sura 16 reflects the Arab impulse to slavery.

The Al-Lah thing [or is it really Muhammad?], loves his 'slaves' and gives them more wealth than others. Surely a good Moslem does not need to hand over his wealth to his slaves that his 'right hand possesses', [women are never mentioned in the Koran as equal to men of course]; and denude the riches granted to him by his idol the 'Lord' of the Kabaa?

A good Moslem is expected to own slaves as the above verse makes clear.

Sura 16 also reflects the intractable, violent hostility that Muhammad's cult has against Infidels. Pagans, Jews and Christians are going to burn in Hell:

In Islam's supremacist liturgy Jews and Christians are allied to Satan. They are corroded and corrupted and must be dealt with harshly. Muhammad and his slaves on the other hand are 'guided' and 'chosen' by the Al-Lah idol to reign, to be given mercy and to be rewarded if they are male, with a pleasurable after-life. The division of the world into two is the hallmark of a supremacist cult, not of a religion. Slavery is the opposite of what a religious theology teaches. Denying free-will and rationality is the doctrine of a bronze age cult, not of a modern or even pre-modern philosophy of enlightened metaphysics.  

Allusions to slavery are endemic in the Koran and suffuse almost every page. Few of the phrases advocate freeing slaves. Those that do make it clear that the slave must be Moslem and remain Moslem. The entire edifice of Islam is built on the demand for blind obedience and enforced slavery of its followers. Slavery is now freedom, as defined by the multi-cult and Moslem theologians.

A supremacist cult will de-humanize its enemies. Sura 15 for example, links Jews and Christians to Iblis or Satan. The two ancient monotheisms are thus corrupted with evil and sin and are surpassed by the 'purity' of Moslem liturgy, practice and strictures enjoined by the Al-lah moon deity of Mecca. Logically therefore Jews and Christians are inferior to Moslems and can be fought, killed, humiliated or crucified [Sura 5:33].

Moslems or the cult followers of the Al-Lah thing are the arbiters of life and death, and only Al-Lah has free-will leading some to salvation [Moslems] and others to Hell [criminals, polytheists etc.].

Supremacist cults also demand knavery from their followers. Since the cult and its leadership is uber-alles, support of the cult and its contra-reality version of 'truth' and the 'right path', is the single most vital characteristic which animates its advance and violence. This support must be unconditional, total and offered by a supine cowering knave devoid of free-will or intelligence. A slave in fact:

In Islam's supremacist liturgy Jews and Christians are allied to Satan. They are corroded and corrupted and must be dealt with harshly. Muhammad and his slaves on the other hand are 'guided' and 'chosen' by the Al-Lah idol to reign, to be given mercy and to be rewarded if they are male, with a pleasurable after-life. The division of the world into two is the hallmark of a supremacist cult, not of a religion. Slavery is the opposite of what a religious theology teaches. Denying free-will and rationality is the doctrine of a bronze age cult, not of a modern or even pre-modern philosophy of enlightened metaphysics.  

Only 37% of Sura 13 preaches violence and hate speech against non-Moslems. In the cult of Islam and the cult of Muhammad and Al-Lah [both are the same in the Koran, one merges into the other]; the moon deity of Mecca is uber-alles, humans are his vassals and knaves:

Sura 14 by contrast is more 'moderate'. Only 33% of this chapter preaches intolerance against the Infidel pig and ape. Surely a civilized amount. Like Sura 13, chapter 14 is rather obsessed with the omnipotent powers of the only free-will force in the universe, the moon idol Al-Lah [from Hub'Al]; and his or its complete control over the slavish followers of the cult:

14:4:And We sent not a Messenger except with the language of his people, in order that he might make (the Message) clear for them. Then Allah misleads whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. [Al-lah possesses free-will, the human does not].

14: 27:Allah will keep firm those who believe, with the word that stands firm in this world (i.e. they will keep on worshipping Allah Alone and none else), and in the Hereafter. And Allah will cause to go astray those who are Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.), and Allah does what He wills.

Al-Lah will cause some humans to go astray and be punished. He will pre-destined others to be 'saved'. There are many problems with pre-destinatino of course. It is fatalism and leads to apathy, nihilism, corruption and usually some form of theocratic totalitarianism when it infects the body politics [see Calvin as well as Muhammad]. The logical outcome of Islam's fatalism is slavery. Every human must become the slave of the unknowable, undefined celestial power called 'Al Lah' or 'The One'.

Muhammad's slaves who 'believe' must help other Moslems through charity [via the Zakat tax]. Infidels are not to be given aid of course since they are Unbelievers. Allah's grace lights upon only those 'whom He wills of His slaves'. This is a clear statement negating individuality, human free-will and expression and even the natural law right to think and speak. It demands mindless conformity to whatever the cult maintains as 'truth' and the 'right path'.

This theme of slavery is endemic in the Koran and suffuses almost every page. There are over 300 direct references in the Koran using the words slaves and slave. Given that the book is 420 or so pages in length, this association of a supposed 'theology' or faith with the concept of slavery is very curious indeed. Few of the phrases advocate freeing slaves. Those that do make it clear that the slave must be Moslem and remain Moslem. The entire edifice of Islam is built on the demand for blind obedience and enforced slavery of its followers.

Sura 11 and its violence is reviewed here. Only 18 verses are hate speech against non-Moslems, though I doubt that any Moslem will either admit that, or call for a reform of the text. Notice the love for Jews and Christians in this rather typical phrase:

How tolerant.

Similarly, Sura 12, reviewed here, only expresses violence and intolerance against the Infidel in a few passages – a rarity for a long Koranic verse. But its theme, that the Jewish patriarch Joseph was actually a Moslem, is bizarre to say the least.

Sura 12 is rather direct in its demand that Jews become Moslems, since Joseph and all Jewish historical figures were actually the followers of the Meccan moon deity:

“These verses are implied threats. Most of 'them' namely the Jews and Christians don't believe that Joseph was a Moslem, nor do they want to prostrate themselves to Muhammad's cult [12:105,106]. Allah's torment will be their reward [12:107]. Anyone who follows Muhammad and believes in the oneness and singularity of Allah will be rewarded [12:108].”

There is not much charity for non-Moslems in either Sura. And of course there is the discussion about slaves or being a slave. Islam grew out of a pagan Arabian culture which was steeped in slavery, misogyny and banditry. Slavery is sanctioned by the Koran, and is still a fact of Moslem geo-political life and culture even today.

Women [pagans] desiring sex with their slave-boys:

Slaves taken in either trading or brigandage:

Al-Lah loves his slaves. Al-Lah protects his slaves. Al-Lah would like all men and women to be prostrated slaves. The theme of slavery is endemic in the Koran and suffuses almost every page.

There are over 300 direct references in the Koran using the words slaves and slave. Given that the book is 420 or so pages in length, this association of a supposed 'theology' or faith with the concept of slavery is very curious indeed. Few of the phrases advocate freeing slaves. Those that do make it clear that the slave must be Moslem and remain Moslem. The entire edifice of Islam is built on the demand for blind obedience and enforced slavery of its followers:

Those that do make it clear that the slave must be Moslem and remain Moslem. The entire edifice of Islam is built on the demand for blind obedience and enforced slavery of its followers:

Islam negates free will. This and dozens of other verses make that clear. Without free-will one becomes a captive to the liturgy and demands of the cult. Al-Lah determines all, including who is a Moslem and who is not; and by extension, who is saved and who is not because 'He causes [his favor]..to reach whomsoever of His slaves he will.” That is a very accurate and concrete summary of Islam. Allah blesses only his slaves. The rest are damned.

Within the Koran there are as well are over 250 verses which discuss Moslems 'possessing with their right hands', domestic slaves, sex-slaves and those Infidels who are in their power. Within Islam, the right hand denotes power and privilege. The Al-Lah idol rewards those on his right hand. He exiles to an eternity of hellfire those on his left hand. Muhammad of course is naturally blessed with as many sex slaves and knaves as he sees fit, being the right-hand man of the Meccan moon idol:

Sura 10 reviewed here, is rather remarkable for its violence against Unbelievers. Fully 15% of the chapter is a diatribe against non-Moslems, steeped in hate speech and intolerance. The theme is quite obvious. Moslems who follow the Koran will not tolerate anyone who is not a slave of the Al-Lah idol.

Non-Moslems are criminals who have rejected the Ayat of Moslem supremacy, and who are doomed to wander in distraction at the behest of the moon idol, Al-lah and then be put to death and destroyed like 'generations before'. This is cult-think. There is no higher ideals here, which are being put to work or being preached and debated. Sura 10, like almost every chapter, demands slavery:

Disobeying Muhammad or the Al-Lah thing will eventually be punished. Pre-destination and pre-determination will exact their price. Only Al-Lah knows because only Al-Lah has free will. Anyone who dares to exercise their rational, natural law-given free will, shall be destroyed. This is the stricture of a cult, not a religion. 

The Al-Lah idol, or Hub'Allah repackaged as 'The One' [not Obama], demands slaves. We can now redefine a religion to be a cult which enforces blind obedience and knavery. Free-will, rationality and self-expression, not to mention debate and the scientific method, are to be outlawed. The Koran, or Muhammad's guide book to totalitarian power says so:

Al-Lah loves his slaves. Especially if his slaves help support the power and health of the Moslem Umma. Charity in Islam, is beneficence bestowed only on Moslems. There is no charity, and no factual evidence whatsoever, that Al-Lah wants Moslems to help Infidels. Zakat is a tax which goes to the Moslem authorities who then procure welfare for the Moslem poor. Jews and Christians need not apply.

Zakat is a political tool to 'attract the hearts of those who have been inclined' to join the cult. Even the act of freeing a slave, is permissible as long as the slave [as quoted above] becomes involved in 'Allah's Cause...fighting in the holy wars.' Again a very specific reference to improving the strength of the Moslem cult.

Sura 9 is of course one of the most violent chapters in the Koran and thus in the annals of cult documentation. Fully 40% of this Sura preaches hate and violence against Infidels who refuse to become the slaves of Muhammad.

“9:30 “And the Jews say: 'Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allah, and the Christians say: Messiah is the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouths. They imitate the saying of the disbelievers of old. Allah's Curse be on them, how they are deluded away from the truth!”

and

9:123 “O you who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with those who are the Al-Muttaqun (the pious - see V.2:2).”

The Al-Lah idol hates the Jews, Christians, pagans and anyone who opposes Islam. Even being pacifically opposing Islam is a sin in the Koran. The logical conclusion from a violent, jihadic treatise such as Sura 9, is that only good slaves who venerate Muhammad's cult will be tolerated. The 'Other' must be extinguished in this life, or at least tortured and humiliated in the next. 

Freedom is now to be enslaved. So many cults, so little time. The words 'slaves' and 'slave' only comprise 5% of Koranic verses. Why would any 'religious' document be discussing slavery on such a scale ? Own slaves, sell slaves, 'free' slaves [if they are Moslem]; 'possess slaves with your right hand' and of course, be a good 'slave' of Al-Lah. Slavery to the Al-Lah idol, and to his mouth-piece, the political leader and warrior Muhammad, means freedom in Islam.  Liberate yourself by becoming a slave of the cult. How this aids the development of civilization and humanism only Moslems and Al-Lah, know.

In Sura 8 reviewed here, only 42 % of verses are hate speech against non-Moslems. Surely a moderately civilized amount.

“Out of 75 verses in Chapter 8, there are only 33 which could be classified as hate speech under existing hate speech laws in Canada and Europe. A favourite is surely this catchy phrase 8:39:

“And fight them on until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah altogether and everywhere; but if they cease, verily Allah sees all that they do.”

Moslems must fight on until the House of War is subdued. This is what is meant by 'no more tumult or oppression'. The existence of Infidels and deniers of the Allah cult is simply insufferable to the pious Moslem. The Allah-thing's commandment is clear – every human must be in bondage and submission to the moon deity, or to the cult of Muhammad.”

Ah, such love and harmony. Surely the New Testament says exactly the same thing. 'Fight non-Christians until there is no more tumult'. Non-Moslem Infidels are to be terrorized until they simply accept Muhammad or Al-Lah as their 'God':

Slaves are what cults need. The greatest slave of Al-Lah, the moon deity of Mecca or Hub'Allah is of course Muhammad - the greatest human in history - who led the Moslems to their famous victory at Badr cementing Muhammad's leadership over his band of brigands and justifying his faith in the Al-Lah idol, who apparently sent down angels during the battle to help the Moslems defeat the pagan Meccans. For his leadership Muhammad was conveniently given 20% of all the 'booty':

The Al-Lah is so very generous sending his devoted 'slave' to lead the Arabs from poverty and ignorance to the ennobling pursuits of brigandage, sex-chattel slavery, warring and murder. Very enlightening. Al-Lah demands that Moslems steal from Unbelievers because he wants his slaves, including his favourite Muhammad, to be happy:

Al-Lah is very kind to his slaves; and Al-Lah's slaves must punish and humiliate the Infidels:

The Infidels can't hide from temporal Moslem wrath and war, nor from an after-life of 'grievous punishment'. By extension the Al-Lah, and Muhammad cult will only tolerate good 'slaves of Allah', who cause no 'tumult' or 'oppression' of Moslems and their beliefs. These good slaves must fight to purge the planet of non-Moslem belief. This theology of Infidelophobia, only takes up 42% of Sura 8. Surely a civilized amount.

Slavery is freedom. The words 'slaves' and 'slave' are only found on 335 pages or about 80% of the Koran. These words only comprise 5% of the verses out the Koranic total of 6236. Slavery to the Al-Lah idol, and to his mouth-piece, the political leader and warrior Muhammad, means freedom in Islam.  Liberate yourself by becoming a slave of the cult. How this aids the development of civilization and humanism only Moslems and Al-Lah, know.

Sura 7 reviewed here, expresses violence against non-cult members in only 15% of its text. How moderate. Not being a slave of the Al-Lah idol is to mark one out for destruction – no matter how good, pure, tolerant, mult-cult loving you might be:

....fully 18% of this chapter are threats against non-Moslems. Out of 206 verses 37 preach intolerant violence against Unbelievers. This is entirely in line with other Koranic chapters. It is hard to make the claim, so earnestly and intolerantly put forward by Marxists and Moslems, that Islamic theology is either peaceful or accepting of the 'Other', when in chapter after chapter 15-30 % of the text expresses the opposite. Maybe Moslems should read, rewrite and rework their handbook of Muhammad.

The verses which preach a gross intolerance and adjure violence in some form [physical, spiritual, social] against Unbelievers are: 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 12, 17, 18, 27, 36, 37, 38, 40, 41, 44, 45, 47, 50, 72, 78, 84, 90, 91, 99, 100, 133, 136, 147, 164, 166, 167, 173, 177, 178, 179, 182, 186, 191, 202 

007:004 *  URL	And a great number of towns (their population) We destroyed (for their crimes). Our torment came upon them (suddenly) by night or while they were sleeping for their afternoon rest. [Note this is a warning to Pagan Arabs]
007:005 *  URL	No cry did they utter when Our Torment came upon them but this: "Verily, we were Zalimun (polytheists and wrongdoers, etc.)".
007:008 *  URL	And the weighing on that day (Day of Resurrection) will be the true (weighing). So as for those whose scale (of good deeds) will be heavy, they will be the successful (by entering Paradise). [Note: 'Good' in Islam is following the Koran.]

The cult promotes slavery as being 'good'. Follow, obey and recite [Koran]. This is the whole thematic of the Moslem cult. Not being a good slave will result in your 'torment' and you will be 'destroyed' for your 'sins' because you are a 'criminal or polytheist'. A sin in Islam is simply not following the dictums and demands of Muhammad and his handbook named recital.

What cults need are slaves. Thinking, rational, free-will humans are not to be tolerated inside the cult. That would create debate, inquiry, division and in-cohesion:

All humans are born Moslems. Moses and other prophets were really Moslems propagating the word of Al-Lah, the moon deity of Mecca and his cult. It matters not that the cult was only established by Muhammad in 610 AD some 1800 years after the time of Moses. In the Koran Jews are simply wayward Moslems who have negated the true word of 'God' or Al-Lah [which has nothing to do with the God of Judaism]. Due to this these Jews and their sect the Christians, can be killed:

Zalimun are the lowest forms of humanity possible and fit only for hell-fire and torment. Al-Lah is thus a ruthless, angry, vindictive deity, seeking out non-Moslems to punish or kill. This frightful idol denies love, compassion, free-will, humanism, charity, tolerance and gratitude both for life, and for non-cult members. This is not a 'God' in the JC sense of the word, but an iron-age, or pre-iron age celestial force, obsessed with death, hell, and punishment. The Al-Lah idol has nothing to do with religious ideals.

The words 'slaves' and 'slave' are only found on 335 pages or about 80% of the Koran. These terms only comprise 5% of the verses out the Koranic total of 6236. A question to Moslems is this: since when do religions demand 'slavery' negating free-will, rationality, faith through reason and the liberation of the mind, body and soul ?

Sura 6 reviewed here, is rather obsessed with violence against those who will not be the slaves of Muhammad and his idol the Al-Lah or 'The One'.

“But those who reject our Signs – punishment shall touch them, for they did not cease from transgressing.” [6:49]

Only 15 % of this Sura preaches hate and violence against the Infidel. A large part of the rest demands submission to Muhammad. Be a good slave, the Al-Lah demands it, since he is the omniscient supernatural power, high above you:

Verse 6:88 is an obvious repudiation of free-will. Muhammad's family deity and the Meccan moon idol the El-Lah, whose antecedents traverse back in time through Hub'Al, Ba'Al and Sin of Babylonia, is the only creation in the universe with free-will. He or it, 'guides whomsoever He will of His slaves'. This is a remarkably direct testimony negating the individual's humanity, rationality and ability to act. It leads to pre-destination and the moral issue that Al-Lah is the only 'judge' who will determine your fate both in this life, and in the next. Logically, in order to please this deity, you must strictly follow his program or face the consequences:

6-39: Those who reject Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) are deaf and dumb in darkness. Allah sends astraywhom He wills and He guides on the Straight Path whom He wills.

6-43: When Our Torment reached them, why then did they not believe with humility? But their hearts became hardened, and Shaitan (Satan) made fairseeming to them that which they used to do.

This is a frightening dogma. The individual is now a part of the communal cult. Even inquiring about the cult's document [or Koran]; Muhammad's leadership, or trying to understand what this Al-Lah thing is, can lead to your destruction:

6-124: And when there comes to them a sign (from Allah) they say: "We shall not believe until we receive the like of that which the Messengers of Allah had received." Allah knows best with whom to place His Message. Humiliation and disgrace from Allah and a severe torment will overtake the criminals (polytheists, sinners, etc.) for that which they used to plot.

6-130: O you assembly of jinns and mankind! "Did not there come to you Messengers from amongst you, reciting unto you My Verses and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?" They will say: "We bear witness against ourselves." It was the life of this world that deceived them. And they will bear witness against themselves that they were disbelievers.

In the Koran, the main criminals are Jews, Christians and pagan Arabs who reject all, or part of the Koranic cult's injunctions, including the 'prophet-hood' of Muhammad. This is clear from Sura 6 which spends an inordinate amount of time warning humans to simply follow Koranic theology, and going into lurid detail as to their destruction in this life and the next, if they don't.

A fair question to ask, centres of this theological demand for 'slaves'. Slavery by itself promotes abnegation, illiteracy, lethargy and ignorance. Since when does a 'religion' promote anti-humanist ideals ?

Together 'slave' and 'slaves' are found in 335 pages or about 80% of the Koran. At the verse level these terms comprise 5% of the verses out the Koranic total of 6236. It does appear that this Al-Lah thing, idol, Hub'al, or Muhammad, is rather preoccupied with supine submission and 'slavery'. In Sura 5 reviewed here, we find out 2 facts: 1) All Moslems are the slaves of the Al-Lah deity and 2) slavery is so prevalent and expected within Islam that freeing a slave [manumission] so he can join the cult of Al-lah freely is considered an expiation of 'sin'. Islam was always a movement obsessed with; and built upon slavery.

Moslems are just slaves:

[005:118 URL] "If You punish them, they are Your slaves, and if You forgive them, verily You, only You are the AllMighty, the AllWise."

Allah is omnipotent, all Moslems are his slaves and are shackled to the whims of the Al-Lah Hub'Allah moon deity of Mecca, or perhaps to its spokesman, the Muhammad. Only Al-Lah can punish humans [his 'slaves'], and only Al-Lah can forgive.

Al-Lah's punishment and free your slaves:

[005:089 URL] “Allah will not punish you for what is unintentional in your oaths, but He will punish you for your deliberate oaths; for its expiation (a deliberate oath) feed ten Masakin (poor persons), on a scale of the average of that with which you feed your own families; or clothe them; or manumit a slave. But whosoever cannot afford (that), then he should fast for three days. That is the expiation for the oaths when you have sworn. And protect your oaths (i.e. do not swear much). Thus Allah make clear to you His Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) that you may be grateful.”

Arabs owned many Black slaves who provided domestic and general labour. Slavery was endemic in pre-Muhammadan Arabia, a fact that Muhammad and the creators of the Koran simply accepted as a natural fact of life. Freeing your slaves so they can join the cult was an early injunction from Muhammad dating back to the first days of his preaching in Mecca. Since many Arabs owned slaves, manumitting their slaves and having them join the cult would considerably increase the membership and the appeal of the Al-Lah cult. Certainly slaves would have been agitating for admission even if they did not understand the crude simplicity of Muhammad's program and its totalitarian demands for universal submission.

This demand to be a slave to Al-lah and allow your own slaves to join the cult was matched by threats to any who dare not follow the totality of the program offered by Muhammad, for the benefit of Muhammad, managed only by Muhammad. Slavery indeed:

“5:36. As to those who reject Faith – if they had everything on earth, and twice repeated, to give as ransom for the penalty of the Day of Judgement, it would never be accepted to them. Theirs would be a grievous penalty.

5:37. Their wish will be to get our of the Fire, but never will they get out therefrom: their Penalty will be one that endures. 

And one of the most famous and violent of Koranic verses

5:33 “The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter.” [more]

Since everyone is the slave of Al-Lah and born Moslem; the idol can punish anyone who dares to either leave the cult; or refuse to join it. The Koran serves up this endless violence against the Infidel as a matter of inevitable logicality. All humans are born Moslem and belong to Allah. Any who do not acknowledge the supremacy of both Al-Lah and Muhammad and the uncreated Koran are to be punished. It is a simplistic, fatalistic, and entirely iron-age type of reasoning. Hub'allah the family deity of Muhammad and the 'Lord' Of the Meccan Kabaa is transmogrified by Muhammad into the only universal force in history. Al-Lah thus mutates from a celestial object of worship into the dialectical power that shapes the universe and every destiny of every object and life-form on earth. Indeed 'reality' is recreated every second by this omnipotent unknowable divine force. But for some reason, somehow, this supernatural phenomenon decided to nominate Muhammad as history's most important creature. How convenient indeed.

Slaves must follow the Al-Lah. This is what Muhammad states. Failure to do so will result in your temporal destruction and eternal punishment. Islam or Submission is a very good name for a cult of slaves.

The use of the nouns slave or slaves, runs throughout the width and breadth of the Koran. There are about 420 pages in the Koran. The word 'slaves' appears on 226 of them. The word 'slave' singular, makes a guest appearance on 109 pages. Together 'slave' and 'slaves' are found in 335 pages or about 80% of the Koran. At the verse level these terms comprise 5% of the verses out the Koranic total of 6236. It does appear that this Al-Lah thing, idol, Hub'al, or Muhammad, is rather preoccupied with supine submission and 'slavery'. A question to Moslems is this: since when do religions demand 'slavery' negating free-will, rationality, faith through reason and the liberation of the mind, body and soul ? Crying about Islamophobia is not a defence. Neither is ignorance about the real doctrine of Muhammad. Maybe Moslems can start answering questions and reforming their cult by so doing. The Socratic method as it were, though I am sure that Socrates was a Moslem according to Islamic liturgy.

Sura 4 reviewed here, is rather obsessed with knavery. Only 30 % of the Sura preaches hate and violence against the Infidel. A large part of the rest demands submission to Muhammad. Since Muhammad is the only human possessor of 'truth' your role in life is to follow, obey and never deviate from Koranic totalitarianism. Be a good slave:

If you are a good slave of the Al-Lah Meccan moon deity, he will allow you to possess your own slaves. Muhammad possessed and traded in slaves. He also had 15-20 sex concubines arranged and presented for his erotic pleasures:

Islam promotes slavery. The enslavement of non-Moslems, Whites, Blacks, Hindus and Buddhists is an animating and important feature of Muhammad's cult. 10-15 million Blacks were transshipped north from Black Africa to the Moslem heartlands. This is the same number of Whites taken by Moslems from 630 AD to 1900 AD. Even in Koranic theology there is much discussion about the slaves. Sura 4:3 and 24 discuss polygamy, marrying young girls and sex-slave girls:

Al-Lah or Muhammad fully agrees with an Arab or Moslem's desire to marry a believing slave girl. Al-Lah is always right, always merciful, oft-forgiving [unless you are a slave]:

If you make the Al-Lah thing angry he can take away your slaves as punishment:

The Koran has some rather odd and pre-iron age rules relating to compensation around freeing slaves and paying blood money, if a believer is murdered by mistake. This is a text that one would expect to find in an early iron age culture:

Truly bizarre. If a Moslem kills another Moslem by mistake, the perpetrator can get away with the murder by freeing a sex slave and paying some blood money. Now that is justice! Such 'laws' inform Sharia and provide more than a mild discomfort for the Marxist-Moslem multi-cult, who whine that Moslem 'law' is the same as Western law. Late bronze age codes around blood money and slave sacrifice have nothing to do with modern jurisprudence.  In any event slavery, which is not a part of any 'religion' worthy of the name, but certainly a distinctive feature of mindless cults, is a major theme within the Koran and Islamic history. Perhaps the pious post-modern can explain how slavery is freedom, and sex concubinage female equality.  

The use of the nouns slave or slaves, runs throughout the width and breadth of the Koran. There are about 420 pages in the Koran. The word 'slaves' appears on 226 of them. The word 'slave' singular, makes a guest appearance on 109 pages. Together 'slave' and 'slaves' are found in 335 pages or about 80% of the Koran. At the verse level these terms comprise 5% of the verses out the Koranic total of 6236. It does appear that this Al-Lah thing, idol, Hub'al, or Muhammad, is rather preoccupied with supine submission and 'slavery'. A question to Moslems is this: since when do religions demand 'slavery' negating free-will, rationality, faith through reason and the liberation of the mind, body and soul ? Crying about Islamophobia is not a defence. Neither is ignorance about the real doctrine of Muhammad. Maybe Moslems can start answering questions and reforming their cult by so doing. The Socratic method as it were, though I am sure that Socrates was a Moslem according to Islamic liturgy.

Sura 3 reviewed here, is infamous for its violence against Infidels. In moderate Sura 3, only 27% of the text is supremacist, racist and violent to Unbelievers. Besides hating the Infidel, Sura 3 also demands supine prostration and unthinking deference to the Muhammad-Al Lah idol axis of control. Moslems must be good 'slaves'. If they are, the Al-Lah idol or thing might take notice and reward them. Or maybe not. Only Al-Lah knows. Just be his slave – Jesus was and he was just a man, following the Meccan moon cult of Hub'Al or Al-Lah:

Christians who believe that Christ was not a Moslem, and that he was a divine incarnation of a higher power are cursed by Moslems. This verse plainly states this. Muhammad is the last and greatest 'prophet' superseding Christ, and the most important human ever since Al-Lah – Muhammad's family deity and the moon cult idol of Mecca – said so. How convenient.

What Muhammad and his idol want are slaves. Lots of them. Supine, stupid, obedient:

Jews and Christians linked to evil and impiety. Allah's 'slaves' to be rewarded in heaven with delights unimaginable. Allah knowing and seeing all focused on whether someone submits to the Islamic doctrine in full prostration; "I have submitted myself to Allah (in Islam), and (so have) those who follow me." This is always the goal of a cult. Establish a cadre of slaves who will submit and give up their free-will, rationality, and obtuse ethical ideals about the Golden Rule, gratitude, immanent tolerance and good will to all. Hate the non-cult member. Kill them. Humiliate them. Swagger in superiority amongst them. So demandeth the idol Al-Lah and his alter-ego Muhammad.  

Sura 2 is the longest Sura in Mohammed's totalitarian charter named compassionately, 'Recital'. Recite, memorize, obey. Good Moslems need to accept the existence of being a 'slave'. How liberating. A religion by definition frees the mind, the body, the spirit and invokes rationality in the construction of social and ethical programs. Not so the Koran. Just shut up and follow the great man Muhammad [or today it would be the Obamed]. Free-will? So 'conservative' and Euro-centric. Dispense with that civilizational racism already. All cultures are relative. Protagoras and the pre-Socratic philosophers said so.

The use of the nouns slave or slaves, runs throughout the width and breadth of the Koran. There are about 420 pages in the Koran. The word 'slaves' appears on 226 of them. The word 'slave' singular, makes a guest appearance on 109 pages. Together 'slave' and 'slaves' are found in 335 pages or about 80% of the Koran. At the verse level these terms comprise 5% of the verses out the Koranic total of 6236. It does appear that this Al-Lah thing, idol, Hub'al, Muhammad, is rather preoccupied with supine submission. Witness the ravings in Sura 2 about slaves usually married with violence against the hated Unbelievers:

Muhammad is referenced as the penultimate slave of course with the usual and rather idiotic refrain 'peace be upon him', whenever his hallowed name is invoked. This for a man who slaughtered, butchered, murdered, slave-traded, erected so to speak a large personal harem, and died fat and covered in gold, poisoned or strangled [or both] by his own men. See Sura 2:23. Sura 2:221 makes the startling revelation that being a slave of Muhammad or Al-Lah, is preferable to being a disbelieving free-man.

So slavery is the new freedom in the Koran. Free yourself by submitting to Al-Lah and Muhammad ! Then all the blessings of the Meccan moon deity will be bestowed upon your person in the male-Moslem heaven, with eternal delights to occupy your time. The Koran has nothing to say about what female Moslem 'slaves' will get from the Al-lah thing.

To be fair in 2:177 there is reference made to freeing slaves – as long as they join the cult of course. One of Muhammad's first converts was his personal black slave. Islam is famously racist, with those entering hell possessing 'black faces' and Kaffir originally designating a black slave – one of the lowliest life forms in the Moslem hierarchy. Free your slaves to join the cult of Al-Lah, and your 'Lord' will be pleased, as long as you know that you must fight for him or it:

In Moslem jurisprudence the Koranic 'legal' ideal of an eye for an eye, is usually followed and believed by the more pious. If you commit a crime against a Moslem's slave than he has a right to commit a similar action against your slave. This 'Law of equality in punishment' is a pre-iron age code, which historically can be traced to neo-Babylonian times of 1700 B.C. It is crude and not a program of jurisprudence but one of simplistic reciprocation. Today of course the relativists accept this rather banal code as an alternative form of 'justice' embedded in the various implementation of Sharia or Koranic 'law'.

Slavery was and is rife within Islam. The Islamic irruptions were in large measure the attack on sophisticated civilizations by barbarous desert peoples seeking wealth, booty, women and manufactured products. Slavery is accepted as a de-facto part of existence within Islam. Curious then, that a cult focused on pre-modern slavery and its attendant immorality, is deemed to be a religion.  

Scott's book is sure to enrage the Marxist-Post Modern-Moslem axis of not-so-benign intolerance and historical revisionist bigotry and deceit. It is an work which should be read by anyone who is curious about these often-described 'Dark Ages' of 'barbaric and savage' Europe. Rome fell in a German inspired palace coup one day in 476 AD. Apparently and immediately, all became 'Dark', decayed, vicious and neolithic. Only with the arrival of wise Arabs and compassionate-caring Moslems from the 7^th to 10^th centuries, drenched in learning and achievement, did poor, decayed, stupid Europe 'emerge from the Dark Ages'. Ah those wonderful, happy Moslems. Saving civilization! What a trip. It is all bunk of course, but so too is a lot of what is accepted as 'wisdom'.

Building on Pirenne's seminal work in the early 20^th century Scott destroys the post-modern myth of 'civilized' Islam furthering the great onward march of man, juxtaposed against the savagery of a naked and toothless Europe. Scott further elucidates, proves and satisfies the common sense fact that the Moslem invasion of the Mediterranean basin must have, as a matter of logic and inevitability, neutered the Romano-Byzantine civilisation; destroyed and distorted millennial-old trade and cultural patterns and effaced European contact with the 'East' forcing Europe inwards in a defensive war with a fanatical, Jihadic, imperialist, vicious and quite bloody Islam. Ah, facts are such inconvenient truths for the post-moderns. To these large craniums Islam is love, happiness and endless rose petal throwing, with loving Moslems entranced in dances of blissful multi-cult orgiastic harmony.

Scott's historical narrative which is supported by archaeology and extant sources are sure to profoundly derange the pious cult of tolerance and diversity. But reality usually does. The Moslem narrative of a thriving 'golden age' is of course, unsupported by archaeology and extant sources. Cordoba pace the Great Man [or God?] Obama was the apex of multicultural development circa the 9^th century. I have been to Cordoba. Not one single piece of archeological evidence exists to support this Moslem claim, nor is there any factual data or physical proof whatsoever that Cordoba possessed 3000 mosques and a plethora of magnificent buildings settled in a megapolis of 500.000 thousand earnest, Plato-quoting Moslems, busy with science, math and medicine. What you find in Cordoba is a miserable little mosque from the 9^th century and a small wall. Maybe Moslems can explain this lack of evidence as they rant about golden ages.

In any event, Scott's narrative is premised on facts and evidence, not Academic balderdash and theorizing. In assessing Pirenne's theory Scott makes the follow key claims:

-Like modern day abortion fetishers, the Romans were great practitioners of killing babies. Due to infanticide the population was on a steep decline. This impacted everything from military might to economic development, tax levels and agricultural output. The exception to this forced population reduction were the Jewish and Christian populations. Viewed in this light Christianity would have saved, not hindered Roman culture.

-After Rome was taken over by the Ostrogoth's [clients of Byzantium] there was no 'Dark Age'. Instead there was an increase in economic and cultural activity, since the weight of the Roman state and the interminable civil wars were removed. The exception to this would be central Italy during the reconquest by Byzantium of much of the former Western Roman state.

-The great cities of the Roman world were in the East. There is no doubt that from about the mid 7^th century onwards, this region did descend into a Dark Age with whole cities and economies disappearing. This was of course due to the invasions of the Moslems. Constantinople shrivelled from a city of 1 million in 600 AD to maybe 40.000 by 750 AD. How else to explain this except through the Arab invasions which denuded Byzantium of most of its empire and eradicated trade ? Co2 ? GlobaloneyWarming?

-The Arabs through ignorance of farming techniques, and the reliance on goats, devastated large parts of North Africa and the Levant, turning what was once the most important food producing areas of the Roman world into deserts.

-Islam is a political program not a faith in the Western sense of that word. It promulgates aggressive Jihad and violence. Academics have the immature idea that anything called a 'religion' must be such; and that all 'religions' are the same. There is not one single academic study or program, which portrays this ecological destruction or teaches it.

-Moslem raids, pirates and wars destroyed agricultural, irrigation systems, trade patterns and production of key products throughout the Mediterranean littoral. Papryus the mainstay of Roman literacy for centuries was cut off from its source in Egypt to Europe hastening the costly invention of parchment.

-Contrary to myth classical civilization was alive and well in Europe; hotly debated, open to criticism and change; and integrated with new systems of both secular and theological patterns of belief. The list of Christian and lay figures involved in classical education during the post Rome era is endless, as is the list of inventions throughout the width and breadth of society.

-Monks for instance not only fused rationality with Christianity they also built history's first public hospitals [5^th century]; public school systems; and were deeply involved with advanced agricultural techniques, industry and water power development.

Before the Arabs invaded the Mare Nostrum and wiped out higher cultures, life was rather pleasant for most people – not all, but for many.

“It was a time of wealth; it was a time of opulence. Cities, or at least towns, flourished, as they had under the Caesars, and life continued remarkably unchanged from the latter epoch. It was money and not a barter economy; and the fundamental unit was the gold solidus. With this wealth luxury items were imported into the west in great quantities: fabrics, jewelry, spices, wines, and very many other of the things which made life pleasant for the urban elite.” [p 47]

With the arrival of Islam and the Moslem Jihad, so ardently defended by the multiculturalists, and bien-pensant elite; life descended into an Oriental hell of terror, slavery, subjugation, humiliation and not-so-benign Arab domination. Scott quotes an Arab geographer of the 9^th century who catalogues the Arab destruction of Asia minor. The same would apply to Western cities and regions:

“In days of old cities were numerous in Rum [Anatolia] but now they have become few. Most of the districts are prosperous and pleasant and have each an extremely strong fortress, on account of the frequency of the raids which the fighters of the faith [Moslems] direct upon them. To each village appertains a castle where in timr of flight they may take shelter.” [p. 159]

How tolerant. The Arab chroniclers discuss in detail the slave trading of Christians, sacking of cities across the Mediterranean world; the reduction of forts and the 'effeminacy' of the advanced states of post Roman Europe. Being effeminate would indicate an urban literate culture not a nomadic, warring society. Slaves and women were highly sought out by Moslems.

“The impact of Islamic piracy on the Mediterranean is a question that has never been fully understood or appreciated, in the English-speaking world at least. For a thousand years the Middle Sea, previously one of the world's great economic highways, was reduced to a hunting-ground fro slavers, a devastating fact which, incredibly, is barely mentioned in multitudes of textbooks published annually.” [p. 168]

Some 10 million 'Whites' were enslaved by the Moslems from Russia, eastern, central and Western Europe from 630 AD to 1900 AD. I doubt there is one academic program anywhere in the Western world which even mentions this fact.

“Furthermore, we should note that the Viking raids, which devastated much of northern and western Europe for about two centuries, was intimately to the Muslim demand for European slaves, begging further the question of how this could be viewed as in any way beneficial to Europe and European civilization.” [p. 196]

In the post-modern view, slavery, war, Jihad, destruction and pagan savage violence is 'civilization'. Indeed without Islam 'Europe never would have escaped its Dark Age'. This is what passes for historical 'fact'. It is simply asinine.

Without any doubt this is a great book full of facts, sources, commentaries on various studies, arguments for and against themes and beliefs; and a lucid overview of the historical development of the 'real' Islam within the Mare Nostrum basin. It is a worthy addition to Henri Pirenne's iconoclastic work and a book which clearly lays out what caused the contraction of Europe between 720 and 920. It was of course the Moslem Jihad. A fact that escapes our over-trained and indoctrinated elite for whom lies are facts, and facts are myths.
