3. Conjecture will not avail aught against the truth…
“One who is going to lead somebody to the belief needs an ability to speak nicely and to reason correctly, but he doesn’t need a skill of making violence and threatening” - this is another citing from Manuel II Palaiologos used by Benedict XVI during his speech in the University of Regensburg. In the context, which it is used in, it is understood like a reproach to Muhammad with spreading Islam using force, and so this should mean that all Muhammad’s teaching is surely false. Well, but making such blame Manuel II as well as Benedict XVI [28] forgot to tell and comment the following fact: before starting the first jihad - a holy war Muhammad preached peacefully for ten years. And during that time everyone, who wanted, was able to get to know the meaning of his teaching and agree with it or not.
During that ten years Islam spread in the Arabian society peacefully since Muhammad’s preach met a demand of Manuel II and Benedict XVI. Muhammad reasoned righteously and spoke nicely and earnestly. And Islam that time wasn’t a kind of (if to use modern terms) “totalitarian sect”. Because Muhammad answered essentially all vitally important questions, which Islam followers as well as others asked him. However not everybody liked that, what Muhammad taught.
But Manuel II and Benedict XVI as well haven’t remembered about the morality: neither generally nor concerning specifically those morals, which are cultivated in the society by each of the historically formed traditional religions. And all theological talks and preaches become a kind of atheism without such specification. This is so because God himself has His own morality [29], and every man who wants to be in harmony with God should follow Gods own morality ignoring (or even breaking) historically formed cultural traditions. And this is a meaning of man becoming like God [30].
And though one can agree with what Manuel II Palaiologos wrote: “For assuring a sensible soul, there is no necessity to use neither one’s hands, nor weapon, nor another meaning of threatening a man with death…” - he had told nothing about how to defend against aggressive, “not sensible and imprudent souls” which don’t accept the “assuring preach”. And indeed, Muhammad and first Muslims faced exactly such problem: not everyone who disliked Muhammad’s teaching remained passive and sluggish.
Originally peaceful spread of Islam in the Arabian society met an armed opposition just because enemies of Islam had nothing to object to Muhammad neither during dialogues and public disputes nor fabricating arguments beforehand; and their attempts to bribe him for stopping his preaches were futile. Their resistance to spreading of Islam appeared as a trade embargo of first Muslims (it was an attempt of economical genocide) and as several murderous assaults at Muhammad. It made Muhammad and his followers to leave Mecca (recognized centre of Arabian culture) for provincial city of Medina where he could continue his preach from. And only after 10 years of the peaceful preach the first jihad was started as a defensive war for Islam against the aggressors. It wasn’t a motiveless Muslim aggression for seizing and conquering the rest of the world.
Muslims won that first jihad in the history. And for many of those, who fought against them with great obstinacy, that victory became a conclusive proof of that God and Rightness-Truth were on the side Muhammad and Muslims and not on the side of their enemies. After it many former opponents of Muslims sincerely adopted Islam. And those who rejected Islam were let to go away. There were no repressions of former enemies.
With all this Koran makes numerous warnings to those, who justify their aggressive and predatory actions with religious motives like “jihad”. Particularly:
“O, you who believe! when you go to war in God's way, make investigation [be careful to discriminate], and do not say to any one who offers you peace: “You are not a believer” seeking the chance profits of this life [so that ye may despoil him]. But with God there are abundant gains; you too were such before (i.e. you too were not believers - our explanation when citing), then God conferred a benefit on you; therefore make investigation; surely God is aware of what you do (i.e. you can never deceive God - our explanation when citing)”. (Sura 4:94 based on translations of Shakir and Pickthal; in square brackets are notes by Pickthal).
“And if one of the idolaters seek protection from you, grant him protection till he hears the word of God, then make him attain his place of safety; this is because they are a people who do not know (the Truth - our explanation when citing)”. (Sura 9:6).
Thus following Koran one founds that the mission of teaching the idolaters is supreme. And as referred to Koranic teaching, extermination of ignorant folks who don’t know the truth is a great sin. And it is a sin all the more when under slogans of jihad - the holy war for defence of the religion and the Rightness-Truth - one destroys ignorant people, whom the Koranic afflatus hasn’t been given to, or wages aggressive and conquering war. Naturally an irreproachable namaz [31] made five times a day will not save against “karmic” and religious retribution for such actions. It is said in Sunnah [32] that God’s servant gets from the prayer only what he had understood. And if he wants to understand nothing, his life’s sense is far from one given in Koran, and there are not perspectives for such “Muslim” save the worst ones.
As you can see, if to know the text of Koran, understand its sense and compare it with the life (including the history of forming the Muslim culture as well), Benedict XVI himself could reproach the Muslim world in general and its creation - terrorists-extremists - personally with renouncing the precepts for Muslims given in Koran.
And nothing, save his own misunderstanding of Koran and maybe some esoteric order discipline, prevented Iran’s president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad from telling all this and something more from U.N.O. podium and from saying it to George Bush’s face during their personal meeting.
However there is none of this. And an impression arises that “The Satanic Verses” by Salman Rushdie (first published in 1988), caricatures on prophet Muhammad in the European press (autumn 2005) and artificially inspired hysterical reaction of Muslim world for Pope’s lecture in the University of Regensburg on September 12, 2006 [33] are the links of one chain. It seems that they are included into the long termed attempt to waken a new World War - the global conflict between bearers of the historically formed biblical culture in its different modifications [34] and followers of the historically formed Islam. And it seems more and more evident that hierarchies of both cultures either understand nothing or are interested themselves in saving prerequisites for the conflict.
Benedict XVI, being a man who has devoted his life to the theology (which cannot be separated from the history of mankind and each of the nations), had to know it not just by his lecture in Regensburg but much more earlier - by taking the cardinal’s order [35].
Nevertheless, this is not an answer to the question whether the Koranic teaching is true. This just shows that Muhammad was convincing in his preach and was one of the most prominent practical politicians during the history of our global civilization. And such words are not about the vast majority of Muslims after Muhammad. And of course not about the extremists, who use Islamic slogans only for hiding real aims of those global policy bosses who manipulate with them (it is objective, i.e. it doesn’t depend on declaration of those extremists).
The West in general (and especially followers of its traditional religions including the Russian Orthodoxy) for centuries is sure of its permanent political rightness and the global civilizing mission towards all nations of other regions of the Earth. And as a consequence of this, Muslim world, which rejects such civilizing mission, seems for western intellectuals to be very aggressive without a cause. However, naturally the West doesn’t want to understand not just Koran but as well the Bible, which all its culture (including Russia that is the West and the East at once) is based on. The West doesn’t want to know the matter of its civilizing mission! It fears to face the truth. Let’s turn to Bible:
«You shall not charge interest on loans to your brother(your fellow Jew, as it follows from the context)interest on money, interest on food, interest on anything that is lent for interest. You may charge a foreigner(i.e. a non-Jew)interest, but you may not charge your brother interest, that the LORD your God (i.e. the devil, if one judges the essence of usurious parasitism according to one’s conscience)may bless you in all that you undertake in the land that you are entering to take possession of it(the latter refers not only to ancient times and not only to Palestine, the land promised to ancient Hebrews, because it is a quotation not from a transcript of the ancient roll found at the place of excavations but from a widely published book claimed by all Churches and a part of the intelligentsia as the eternal truth supposedly passed on from above)» - Deuteronomy, 23:19, 20.
«And you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow» - Deuteronomy, 28:12.
«Foreigners(i.e. subsequent generations of the non-Hebrews who have run into a debt which could be repaid by no means to the tribe of usurious coreligionists) shall build up your walls (today many Arab families from Palestine are dependant on the opportunity of working in Israel), and their kings shall minister to you(«I am the Jew of kings» - was the way one of the Rothschilds answered the unfortunate compliment of «You are the king of Jews»); for in my wrath I struck you, but in my favour I have had mercy on you. Your gates shall be open continually; day and night they shall not be shut, that people may bring to you the wealth of the nations, with their kings led in procession. For the nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish; those nations shall be utterly laid waste» - Isaiah, 60:10-12.
The hierarchies of all the so-called Christian Churches, including Russian Orthodox, claim this abominable conception to be holy, while the canon of the New Testament which had been censored and edited as far back as prior to the Nicene Council (325 AD) proclaims it in the name of Christ as the righteous Will of God for all the times to come having no grounds whatsoever to do so.
«Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets(the Law and the Prophets means the Old Testament); I have not come to abolish them but to fulfil them. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished» - Matthew, 5:17, 18.
Since one considers the Bible to be the Holy book, and is assured that the Afflatus from Above hasn’t been perverted in it, the racial-“elitist” fascistic usurious “Deuteronomy-Isaiah” doctrine of enslaving all the world has become the main political doctrine in the biblical civilization culture. Moreover, the New Testament programs the psyche of Christian churches followers for submission to the bosses of the biblical project for enslaving all:
«But I say to you, do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if anyone would sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well» - Matthew, 5:39, 40. «Judge not, that you be not judged(i.e. you have no right to decide what is Good and what is Evil in the Life, thus - resist noting!)» - Matthew, 7:1.
This is the concrete meaning of the Bible (according to texts of Russian Orthodox Church’s Bible, including Septuagint) which governs the entire Biblical civilization. The rest of the Bible is unimportant or attendant to that conception.
That what is written above is the global political doctrine of enslaving the whole mankind in a name of God and of destroying everyone who does not agree with it (and first of all of those who resist it with their thoughts, words and deeds, including military deeds). There is a place in it for atheists, who live with their material problems, and for those, who believe the historically formed Judaism to be the Truth, and for those, who believe to the historically formed Christian churches, which rejected and consigned to oblivion all what Christ taught his contemporaries.
And don’t consider this global political doctrine to be a product of “occasional graphorrhea” of many people in many generations, but not a political creation of a certain group of persons - initiators of the project and their heritors. Even if it had appeared “by its own” as a result of a “spontaneous graphorrhea” of Biblical authors and editors, after some time a corporation of masters of this doctrine would have appeared, and they would have trying to get the world mastery on its basis. So, this doctrine must have its masters and bosses for ages. However they don’t look for the world fame and don’t wait for any gratitude for their deeds from the mankind. Thus they prefer to act indirectly or anonymously. Moreover the majority of people are so “clever” that they will object to be just “cattle” in this doctrine simply prejudicially without understanding the History.
So, without verbiage, the civilizing mission of the West is to enslave everybody. And that’s why:
· If the Bible is from God, the best way is - to agree with it and submit the hierarchy of Life-interpreters on its basis;
· And if this doctrine of enslaving everybody is indeed the creation of power-seeking persons and is a malicious calumny on God, then to object it and let it spread till the global scales - means to be in the evident conflict with God!
However, how the cited words of different biblical culture representatives and other western mass-media publications show, the West doesn’t realize neither the biblical doctrine of enslaving everybody, nor the peculiarities of policy based on it, nor the consequences of the policy aimed on the doctrine realization.
Koran resist against the realization of the biblical global policy. And Islam (even the historically formed Islam, which rejected the Koranic precepts, like Judaism and Christianity rejected Afflatuses given to Moses and Christ) follows Koran in it.
Thus Islamic world call the policy expressing the biblical doctrine of enslaving everybody ‘satanism’. And this agrees to the Koranic opinion on this policy realization principles (our explanation when citing is given in italic):
«275. Those who swallow down usury (i.e. gets the loan interest, including the dividends) cannot arise (on the Judgement Day) except as one whom Devil has prostrated by (his) touch does rise. That is because they say, “trading is only like usury” (in other words: trading income is like the loan interest); and God has allowed trading and forbidden usury. To whomsoever then the admonition has come from his Lord, then he desists (taking up usury), he shall be pardoned for the past, and his affair is in the hands of God; and whoever returns (to it) - these are the inmates of the fire; they shall abide in it.
God does not bless usury, and He causes charitable deeds to prosper, and God does not love any ungrateful sinner!
Surely they who believe and do good deeds and establish regular prayers and regular charity they shall have their reward from their Lord, and they shall have no fear, nor shall they grieve.
O you who believe! Be careful of (your duty to) God and relinquish what remains (due) from usury, if you are believers.
But if you do (it) not, then be apprised of war from God and His Messenger; and if you repent [and turn back (to the Life and God’s precepts)], then you shall have your capital; neither shall you make (the debtor) suffer loss, nor shall you be made to suffer loss» (Koran, Sura 2, based on Shakir and Yusufali translations).
And this is not the only caution against usury in any of its forms, which is given in Koran.
However, there is no compulsion in religion. And every man after getting acquainted with the biblical doctrine and the Koranic opinion on it has an opportunity to decide by himself:
· Either the biblical doctrine of enslaving everybody and destroying those, who disagree with it, is from God;
· Or God prohibited usury and ordered to resist actively the spread of biblical slavery. (And the question of using weapons against the spreaders, if they don’t heed wise and reasonable words, is a question specified by certain historical and cultural circumstances).
As it is told in Koran about enemies of Islam (the meaning of the word “Islam” can be interpreted in the best way by words “God’s Realm at the Earth”, i.e. it’s told not about enemies of the historically formed Muslim ceremonials, but about the qualitatively different things - much more important!):
«And most of them do not follow (anything) but conjecture; surely conjecture will not avail aught against the truth; surely God is cognizant of what they do! (Sura 10:36).
God has written down: I will most certainly prevail, I and My messengers; surely God is Strong, Mighty! (Sura 58:21)».
