ISLAM - A CULT OF HATRED AND PLUNDERING AND MURDER

A Stupid Article

in R K Mission’s Organ Udbodhan, Part-II



By Dr Radhasyam Brahmachari*





It has been mentioned earlier that Islam is a political creed, Islamic Umma is a political party and each and every mosque or masjid is its party-offices. All the Muslims are members of that political party and hence entitled to enjoy all the benefits. But the kafirs, who are not members of that political party, are destined to perish by the sword of the Muslims in this world, and by hell fire in the next. In fact, each and every Muslim, due to their merit of believing in Allah’s Koran and accepting the true religion of Muhammad, will be favoured with various rewards from Allah on the day of Last Judgement. Only for believing in the ‘La Ilaha Illalla’ kalema, Allah will forgive them their every sin and foulest deeds and hence even the most wretched and the most fallen Mussalman will enter Allah’s paradise, while the entire community of kafirs will thrown into hell-fire.



An instance may here be cited to enlighten the reader about the Islamic hatred towards the infidels or kafirs. The incident is given by Zia-ud-din Barni in his Tarikh-I-firozshahi and narrates a dialogue between Sultan Ala-ud-din Khilji and a kazi named Mughis-ud-din. One day the kazi visited the court of the Sultan Allauddin Khilji and he asked the kazi – “How are the Hindus designated in the Islamic law, as payers of poll tax (kharaj dih) and the givers of tribute (kharaz ghauzar)?” The kazi replied, “They are called payers of tribute. When the revenue officer demands silver from them, they should, without question and with all humility and respect, tender gold. If the officer throws dirt in their mouth, they must, without reluctance, open their mouth wide to receive it. The due subordination of the zimmis (the tribute payers) is exhibited by this throwing of dust in their mouth. The glorification of Islam is a duty. Allah holds them in contempt, for He says, “Keep them in subjection.” To keep the Hindus in abasement is especially a religious duty, because they are the most inveterate enemies of the Prophet and because the Prophet has commanded us to slay them, plunder them and make them, enslave them and spoil their wealth and property.” The great doctor (Hanifa) to whose school we belong, has asserted to the imposition of zejya and 19 other disabilities on the Hindus. Doctors of other schools allow no other alternative but death or Islam”. The passage vividly explains the role that Islam has played in India during the Islamic rule that lasted for more than 700 years.



It is a shame that the author of the article mentioned above has portrayed such a creed of hatred and bloodshed as a religion of love and compassion. It seems that these monks have not even gone through the works Swami Vivekananda, the founder of the organization they belong to. To explain Islam, Swamiji once said, “Now, the Muslims are the crudest in this respect, and the most sectarian. Their watch-word is: there is one God (Allah), and Mohammed is His Prophet. Everything beyond that not only is bad, but must be destroyed forthwith, at a moment’s notice, everyman or woman who does not exactly believe in that must be killed; everything that does not belong to this worship must be immediately broken; every book that teaches anything else must be burnt. From the Pacific to the Atlantic, for five hundred years blood ran all over the world. That is Mohammedanism (Islam)!” (The speech delivered at the Shakespeare club of Pasadena, California, USA, on February 3, 1900).



In another occasion, Swamiji said, “One religion may ordain something very hideous. For instance, the Mohammedan (Islam) religion allows Mohammedans to kill all who are not of their religion. It is clearly stated in the Koran, “kill the infidels if they do not become Mohammedans.” They must be put to fire and sword. Now if we tell a Mohammedan that this is wrong, he will naturally ask, “How do you know that? How do you know it is not good ? My book says it is.” [The speech given in London on 17th November, 1896. “Practical Vedanta’, Complete Works, Vol-II, 1990, Page 335). (So, there is no doubt that, had Swamiji been alive, he would have given a good slap on the face of the writer of the said article for his distorted portrayal of Islam and thus misguiding the Hindu community.)



So, it really strange, how could the author of the article discover wisdom Vedas and Upanisads in the Koran and how could he say that the ideals of Vedas and Upanisads are uninterruptedly flowing in the inner core of Islamic faith? Any reader, who knows even a b c of Islam, would discover extreme stupidity of the author for writing all these baseless rubbish. It is needless to say that to many readers, the author may appear to be an insane and lunatic. And to many readers it also may appear that the author has written this piece serious article in exchange of Gulf petro-dollar.



One should also notice that the author has equated Islamic God Allah to Vedantic Brahman. It appears that the stupid author of the said article in the Udbodhan might have been influenced by the song Ishwara Allah tere naam, written by some stupid people like him, who do not know that, Allah does not have the merit to be called Ishwara (God Almighty). And hence the Koran is not a creation of Almighty God. Had Allah been the Ishwara of this universe, he would have treated every human being alike, as the Hindu God lord Krishna says, “In my eye, every human being is equal---no one is my favourite and no one is detestable to Me”. (Bhagavad-gita : 9.29).



But in the eye of Allah, all human beings are not equal. He is kind (or Rahamanir-Rahim) to the Muslims alone and to the non-Muslim kafirs, he is an extremely cruel despot, an inhuman brute killer. So it becomes evident that such a terrible Allah, who is extremely biased and partial to His children, cannot be the God of the entire creation. So Maharshi Dayananda Saraswati in his Satyartha Prakash, A treatise on comparative religion, writes, “If the God of Quran had been the protector of all creatures and dispenser of forgiveness and mercy to all, He would not have commanded the Muslims to kill the people of other religions”. He also says that due to this reason “The Quran does not appear to have been made by God”. (Ch. XIV).



In this regard, the word Allah deserves a closer look. It has been derived from two Arabic words, ‘al’, that stands for English ‘the’ and ‘ilah’ that stands for a local God in Arabia. And hence the word Allah literally does not signify the Almighty God, the ruler of the entire creation, but it stands for a local god of Arabia. On the other hand, from the behavioral pattern of Allah, as reflected in the Koran, it becomes evident that Allah is simply a mafia don or the leader of a criminal gang, who is trying to gain control over the entire world, to establish himself as the God, by way of bloodshed and terror.



The next mischievous comment of the author is that the Allah of Koran and the Brahman of the Vedas and the Upanisads are same. It is well known that Brahman of the Vedas and the Upanisads is formless and shapeless. It is genderless, finer than the finest and beyond the perception of our senses and from which all contingent beings have evolved. Most importantly, Brahman has no mundane attributes except Consciousness. This Brahman of Vedanta has been best described by four verses of the Kena Upanisads, that read,



That which thinks not by the mind,

By which, they say, the mind is thought ,

That is the Brahman – know thou this …. (I, 5)



That which sees not by the eyes,

By which the eyes have sight,

That is Brahman – know thou this ………..(I, 6)



That which hears not by the ear,

By which this ear hears,

That is Brahman – know thou this ……. (I, 7)



That which breathes not by the breath,

By which the breathing is done,

That is Brahman – know thou this ……....(I, 8)



As Muslims do not worship the idol of Allah, many believe that Islamic Allah is formless like Vedantic Brahman. But the notion is entirely wrong. Islamic Allah has a physical body, which is 60 cubit tall (Shahih Muslim-6809). Furthermore, Allah’s appearance is like a human being, as Allah created Adam in his own image (Shahih Muslim -2872). Another Hadith (Shahih Muslim -6325) says that a Muslim, during a conflict, should not deface another Muslim, as Allah has created every human face like that of his own. This Hadith confirms the notion that the physical appearance of Allah is more or less like human beings, but he is 60 cubits tall and, perhaps, he remain invisible to man. The verse (6:101) of the Koran says that Allah does not have a wife and this confirms that Allah is almost a male human being, but he has extraordinary miraculous power or qudrah. With this miraculous power, Allah creates everything from nothingness. Whenever he desires to create something, he utters the Arabic word “Kun” (let it be) and at once the desired thing gets shape. But according to Hindu scriptures, nothing can be created from nothingness. “Navastuno vastu siddhih”, says the Samkhya Pravachana Sutra, which is in conformity with modern scientific view. According to Vedanta, Brahman Itself is the raw material of every contingent being.



But according to Islamic theology, Allah is not only a male human being, but he is a sexually capable man. During the life-time of Prophet Muhammad, a debate arose between the Jews and the Christians of Medina, where the Prophet himself was present. In that debate, the Jews were refuting the claim of Christians that Jesus was the son of Allah. The Jews ridiculed the Christians and said - “Did Allah sleep with Maryam?” This could have been a basis for the Christians to establish their claim. But the Prophet was not ready to admit the same as in that case Allah could have been convicted of committing adultery. At last, the Prophet could settle the dispute by saying that, as Allah had created Adam from clay by his extraordinary miraculous power (qudrah), in a similar manner, Allah created Jesus, in Maryam’s womb, with his qudrah. The incident confirms beyond all doubt that Islamic Allah is almost a male human being capable of procreating a baby in the womb of a human lady by sexual intercourse. [The incident has been narrated in KABAR PATHEY (On the Road to Kabaa),Vol-2, p-190) by the reputed Bengali author Mr Abdul Aziz al Aman]. But the Vedantic Brahman, as mentioned above, is genderless.



In addition to a 60 cubit tall physical body, Allah has physical attributes like wrathfulness, envy, cruelty and so on. Due to his enviousness, Allah becomes violently angry when a man worships any other God besides Allah. He punishes such a sinner with grievous punishment (azab), either in this world or in with hell-fire in his next life. Moreover, Allah is highly biased or discriminative. He is most merciful (Rahmanir-rahim) only to the Muslims, but a cruel despot, a ferocious demon to the non-Muslims. According to the viewpoint of Hindu theology, such a god with a physical body and physical attributes, is incapable of withstanding the onslaught of time and hence cannot be eternal. Such a God is bound to get older with time and ultimately perish like all other living beings. It should also be pointed out in this context that many Muslim scholars describe Allah of Koran as omniscient and omnipresent. But it is evident that, such an Allah, with 60 cubit tall physical body, can never be omnipresent. In such a case, Allah’s body would be blown into pieces endangering his very existence.



From the above discussions it becomes evident that there is gulf of difference between the Brahman of the Vedas and the Allah of the Koran. It is also expected that anyone, before proceeding to comparative discourse between Brahman and Allah, must have to know all these differences. And only a fool, without knowing anything about Allah, can write that Allah and Brahman are same.
