Last Middle Meccan Sura

Chapter 40: 'The Believer'


v10. God hates you

10 It shall be proclaimed to the unbelievers, 'Surely God's hatred is greater than your hatred one of another,


v58. People are not equal.

58 Not equal are the blind and those who see: Nor are those who believe... and those who do evil.

He's always saying this. Equality is not a concept for Mo.


v11. Everyody's a zombie.

11 They will say: "Our Lord! twice hast Thou made us without life, and twice hast Thou given us Life!
Say What? Two lives down, seven to go? The Hadith explains it. They were dead before they were born, and after they died, and on J-day they became the undead for the second time. Spooky.


God gave a sign...

24 To Pharaoh, Haman, and Qarun; ...
36 Pharaoh said: "O Haman! Build me a lofty palace, that I may attain ...
37 the ways and means of (reaching) the heavens,

Who's this Haman? Pharoah's general contractor, the guy who built the tower. He's in the book 6 times. Qarun, who knows? Fuck him. It sounds like Mohammed's mixing up Bible stories again—the Tower of Babel from Genesis, and Haman who worked for Xerxis I of Persia in the Book of Esther. To see why Mo can't possibly be wrong, read this explanation. Drop acid first so it'll sound deep. [Cliff Notes version—the koran says.] Oh, and it's six: six angels can dance on the head of a pin.

Good to know on the angels dancing question. I asked a bunch of angels to dance on the head of a pin for me, but they told me to fuck off and went to a raid.

That was after I dropped the acid, however . . .
