Besides these [elements belonging to Christianity] there are in Koran the
most diverse things, in a way that in it a great hiatus reigns, not felt by
the simple and unhewn followers of Koran. It is full of incomprehensible
things, of flashy words with no meaning. It says again and again many times
the same things, it speaks vaguely about prophecies in a manner extempore
and disorderly.
There are in this book the most contradictory things. God is here
“merciful and compassionate”, elsewhere “cruel and vengeful”. The same
happens with all that Mohammed says about himself: here he praises himself,
elevating himself to the peak, and elsewhere he calls himself a sinner. And
in his life, where he is a saint and sees Angels and visions, there he is
abandoned to women and pleasures.
As he understood that his preaching was not enough, he grasped the sword,
which is more effective. This is why he wrote: “whoever preach my faith,
let them not lose time with preaching. Let them kill”. When he felt himself
strong, he started war and bloodshed. While in the start he flattered the
Jews, in order to gain their support, later, when he had no need of them, he
chased and killed them. The same happened later on with Christians, by his
heirs. He gives his word, he signs with his hand inked, and afterwards he
doesn’t keep his word, when his interest demands so. He is becoming a
politician and a diplomat. ...
Arabs had no writing to write in their language, and Mohammed himself
says in the Koran that he doesn’t know how to write or read. Until today,
the habitants of Arabia are (almost all of them) illiterate. How then, one
thousand and three hundred years from now, managed to make the so called
Arabic culture, Islam? How did they become suddenly philosophers,
mathematicians, poets, artists, astronomers, geographers, historians, -
people who were drifting around like gypsies on their camels in a waste
land?
