As an example, he quotes in his study verse 40 of the Spider Sura, which states: "So each We [God] punished for his sin; of them was he on whom We sent down a violent storm, and of them was he whom the rumbling overtook, and of them was he whom We made to be swallowed up by the earth, and of them he whom We drowned; and it did not beseem Allah that He should be unjust to them, but they were unjust to their own souls."In other words, it's his reading of the Qu'ran. This is about as worthwhile as anything said by Hal Linsdey in the past two decades.
Drawing parallels between Pharaoh and the US, who share the same "sin" of arrogance and excessive pride, Silwadi noted that the Koran mentions at least 12 times the fact that Pharaoh was punished by drowning for his evil deeds.
The Narrative Sura, he noted, clearly suggests that the US will drown in the sea: "And Firon [Pharaoh] said: O chiefs! I do not know of any god for you besides myself; therefore kindle a fire for me And he was unjustly proud in the land, he and his hosts, and they deemed that they would not be brought back to Us. So We caught hold of him and his hosts, then We cast them into the sea, and see how was the end of the unjust [verses 38-40]."
But I'm sure that this "scholar" is fair and balanced in his views, right?
"It would be fair to say that the world would be better off with a US that is not a superpower and that does not take advantage of weak nations than a world where this country does not exist at all," he added."The world will certainly lose a lot if and when this disaster occurs because of the great services that American society has rendered to the economy, industry and science."You know, if Allah is so powerful and all-capable, then he probably knows that Columbus has about as much to do with modern America as OBL does with Canada. Columbus was Spanish, after all. The Dutch, Spanish, French, and finally English all did bad things. There is no arguing that. But at least get your history right. When the Pilgrims came over, they lived in realitive harmony with the natives for quite some time. But the Spaniards, in their time in the "New World" really carved out a bloody trail. So, if Allah is aware of this, shouldn't he punish the Spanish first? And for that matter, it was Europeans who came over and committed the crimes that we are speaking of. Therefore, shouldn't Allah punish them for even moving over here? It seems that the Europeans are much more to blame for the current state of affairs then we Americans.
Silwadi said his study of the Koran showed that the US would perish mainly because of its great sins against mankind, including the Native Americans and blacks.
"As soon as the Europeans started arriving in the new world discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1492, they declared a war on the so-called Red Indians, the legitimate owners of the land," he wrote. "Then they began enslaving and humiliating Africans after kidnapping them from their countries and bringing them to America. Millions of blacks were brought to the US and treated with unprecedented harshness. Those who became ill during the journey were thrown overboard to feed the fish."
Silwadi pointed out that the US continued to commit war crimes and "ethnic cleansing" against humanity by becoming the first country to use nuclear weapons during World War II.
"International law penalizes such crimes," he said. "If these laws were not applied then, they are certainly implemented in heaven. If no one on earth is capable of punishing [the US], Allah was and remains able to do so. All these actions have been documented by Allah in a big archive called the Koran."
But Europe doesn't present such a nice target for all the world's idiots out there. For all the talk of how "closed" Americans are, the Europeans and Middle Eastern peoples tend to overlook their own closed biases and never bother to check their own rampant shortcomings. But then, self-intropsection is so passé these days.
