Koran 9:123

O you who have believed, fight those adjacent to you of the disbelievers and let them find in you harshness.

And know that Allah is with the righteous.

Koran 9:123

Muhammad, ad nauseam: “who have believed”. Read, O you who have believed.

Muhammad spoke about Allah in the third person. This means this passage is not the perfect words of the perfect Qur’an from perfect Allah. Thus, Allah is false, imaginary, and fictional, which means Islamic doctrine and Islam are nonsensical and false.

This is Muhammad’s declaration of war for the Muslims, to fight the disbelievers. This makes the slogan, “religion of peace”, nonsense. According to Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 9:123, this “strategy” worked for several generations until Muslim rules attacked each other over differences in Islam and personal ambitions. Obviously, this shows that righteousness amongst Muslim rulers has disappeared and that Allah is no longer with Muslims. This has been the case since the end of the first caliphate, showing that Allah is dead, along with Muhammad. Thus showing that Muhammad’s recitation, Muhammad’s Koran, is just for his time, for the first “righteous” Muslims. This means Islamic doctrine and Islam are nonsensical and false.

The pure religion reached its deepest aims against Allah’s enemies, and whenever Muslims overcame an Ummah, they moved to the next one, and then the next one, crushing the tyrannical evil doers.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 9:123

This was the case in the first three blessed generations of Islam, the best members of this Ummah. Since they were firm on the religion and reached an unsurpassed level of obedience to Allah, they consistently prevailed over their enemies.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 9:123

However, after the turmoil began, desires and divisions became prevalent between various Muslim kings, the enemies were eager to attack the outposts of Islam and marched into its territory without much opposition. Then, the Muslim kings were too busy with their enmity for each other. The disbelievers then marched to the capital cities of the Islamic states, after gaining control over many of its areas, in addition to entire Islamic lands.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 9:123

Thus we have the current state of Islam, weak and stupid, unable to keep up with technological advances of warfare, every Muslim knows that the West is vastly more powerful than all of Islam put together. Islamic nations so weak, that they’re propped up by the West, sold second-hand Western weapons or third-hand Soviet or Chinese weapons, which the Muslim soldiers soon break and don’t repair, often even with loans from the West, and forgiven for non-payment.

Consider the rise of Israel. Four Muslim nations attacked Israel with the best Soviet military hardware available then, and certainly not riding on camels and using spears and swords, and they were soon defeated.

Consider the history of Muslim armies:

Look at any of many military campaigns undertaken by Arab forces since the collapse of the Ottoman Empire: outcomes range from mediocre to pathetic. How could so much time, effort, money, foreign support and cultural emphasis on feats of arms result in such consistently dismal performance? Why have Arab armies repeatedly failed in their military endeavors? This is the “Riddle of the Sands”: what explains so little return on so great an investment?

Reviewer of “Armies of Sand”

Since the Second World War, Arab armed forces have consistently punched below their weight. They have lost many wars that by all rights they should have won, and in their best performances only ever achieved quite modest accomplishments. Over time, soldiers, scholars, and military experts have offered various explanations for this pattern. Reliance on Soviet military methods, the poor civil military relations of the Arab world, the underdevelopment of the Arab states, and patterns of behavior derived from the wider Arab culture, have all been suggested as the ultimate source of Arab military difficulties.

The book ultimately concludes that reliance on Soviet doctrine was more of a help than a hindrance to the Arabs. In contrast, politicization and underdevelopment were both important factors limiting Arab military effectiveness, but patterns of behavior derived from the dominant Arab culture was the most important factor of all.

“Armies of Sand”, back piece

Even secular sources show that it’s not the man or Muslim of Islam, but it is Islam that’s the problem in Islamic armies: “patterns of behavior derived from the dominant Arab culture was the most important factor of all.”

Even now, Iran, an Islamic Shia nation, seeks to create a nuclear weapon to use against its neighbours, and against its Sunni fellow Muslims.

Military power shows by itself that Allah is imaginary, that Islamic doctrine and Islam are nonsense and false, and Muhammad was delusional. The best replacement for this verse, is: “”, the empty sentence.
