Let's try the next surah, named in honor of the "Sun." They can't all be this bad. Qur'an 91:1 "I swear by the sun and its brilliance, and by the moon when she follows him." I'm glad we cleared that up. The sun is a male and the female moon follows him. What's more, the most common symbols of pagan gods are being used to authenticate Islam's deity. "I swear by the day when it shows it, by the Night as it conceals it, drawing a veil over it, by the heaven and Him Who built it, by the earth and Him Who spread it , by Nafs (a person) and Him Who perfected it, and inspired it with what is wrong for it and right for it. Truly he succeeds that purifies it, and he fails that corrupts it." According to the Qur'an, religious success is found in purifying "it." So why did god neglect to tell us what it is and how we are to go about purifying it once we find it? Qur'an 91:11 "Thamud rejected (their prophet) through their inordinate wrong-doing, and rebellious pride, Behold, the most-wicked wretch among them broke forth but the Messenger said to them: 'Be cautious. It is a She-camel of God! And bar her not from having her drink!'" Islam's god and his prophet have an affinity for she-camels. Qur'an 91:14 "But they rejected him as a false prophet, and they hamstrung her." The dark spirit of Islam seldom ventures beyond the texts he stole from the Hanifs and the Bible. Yet each attempt is a credibility disaster. The Thamud are about to be obliterated for the heinous crimes of prophet rejection and she-camel abuse. Islam's troubled troubadour wants his critics to know that his god stands ready to obliterate all traces of them, too. "So Allah on account of their crime, obliterated their traces, doomed them, desolated their dwellings, leveling them to the ground, crushing them for their sin." Don't be messing with the prophet's she-camel. Qur'an 91:15 "And for Him, He does not fear the consequences." The benediction to this surah provides us with a haunting insight into the mindset of Muslims. The Islamic god and prophet have no conscience. Pulverizing their critics is all in a day's work. 9/11 was just another day at the office. |
