Preliminary note:
Islam research has just begun
1.1. Historical elements and fantasy
stories
[Criminal Crusaders are provoking a Muslim counter
power forming identity and writing of books -
destruction of the Crusader states - destruction of
Christian Byzantium]
The first closer contact with Islam, to the "followers
of Muhammad", got Europe with the Crusades. The Holy
Land with Jerusalem as the source of the Christian
faith was occupied by false believers, an unbearable
idea for the deeply religious medieval Europe.
Pilgrims reported harassment and atrocities, the
dishonor of sacred sites. The Holy Land had to be
wrested from the false believers, the access routes
had to be secured, and so the first - failed - crusade
began in 1096. Three others followed, the final result
was the destruction not of the Islamic but of the
Christian Byzantine Empire. Only this made possible
the rise of the Ottoman Empire, the largest Islamic
powerhouse in history. In its expansion, the Ottomans
reached Vienna, but this was regarded more as a
problem of the Austrian Habsburgs than as a problem
for Europe.
["Christians" laugh at Islam as backward]
In the West, in contrast to Buddhism, Islam was never
a respected religion. The strange habits were laughed
at: no wine is permitted, no pig is permitted, one has
to pray five times a day, and there was some envy
about permitted polygyny. The Rumors say that the
Turkish sultan had hundreds of women.
But for a long time, hardly anyone knew anything about
this religion, and hardly anyone cared about it.
Closer contacts only were installed by tourism, but
also these were rather the relics of earlier cultures
between the Nile and Tigris and the oriental bazaars,
which were the focus of interest.
[1001 night as a romantic component]
A romantic component of the European image of Islam
was added by the tales of "One Thousand and One
Nights": the mysterious, sensual Baghdad of the Middle
Ages with its legendary ruler Harun al-Rashid.
[Karl May and his descriptions of Islam]
For the generation of our grandfathers and
great-grandfathers, the influence of Karl May may not
have been insignificant. Just as he anchored the image
of the North American Native as a noble wild man, at
least in German-speaking countries, he also shaped the
image of the Oriental populations over generations.
Complicated, backward, tricky, so very different, but
somehow nice in it's way - Hajji Halef Omar sends his
regards.
Although Islamic armies and fleets had repeatedly
threatened Europe, the Muslim inhabitants south and
east of the Mediterranean rather called more attention
as destroyers of ancient buildings and as tricky
carpet dealers, this was what entered into the
consciousness of Europe, not as dangerous conquerors.
Yes, the Orient was interesting - as long as one did
not have oriental conditions. He was far enough away,
and they were backward far behind of the modern world,
thus just let them do it. Oil played a minor role.
[The Organized Oil Shock and Islamic Power from
1973]
This changed abruptly when with the oil shock of 1973
the Middle East, as the Orient was called now,
penetrated into the consciousness of all Europeans.
The Sunday ban on cars affected almost everyone, but
the problem was limited to a few economic issues.
[[This Oil Shock of 1973 was an arranged
fantasy of NWO: science found out that the oil
deposits refill again and again. The action with
prophecies of an ending oil supply was all a lie.
The matter was only about to triple the oil price]].
[The fake attacks of the "Christian" intelligence
services - and everything is blamed on the Muslims]
Of a very different dimension were the events of the
late 20th and early 21st centuries: Qaddafi, Saddam
Hussein, the religiously motivated attacks of New
York, Tunis, London, Madrid, the Hamburg Mosque, the
"Caliph of Cologne", al -Qaida, Ahmadinejad, Islamic
bombers in the centers of the Western world, weapons
of mass destruction in the hands of people who feel
legitimated by their Holy Book and its author Muhammad
to any terrible bloody deed.
[The reaction of Islam against the criminal
"Christians" with struggle and carnage - and this
was wanted by the CIA and Obama]
Hailed by many Muslims, secretly approved by many, and
celebrated as the beginning of global, definitive
jihad, this type of bloodshed caused disgust and
concern in the non-Islamic world. What is this sacred
book that covers such carnage? What kind of a prophet
is calling for such acts? What kind of religion is it
that wants to either convert or destroy
other-believers? Adolescent adventurers beat
themselves into the camp of the bearded fighters, but
the majority of the population of Europe and the world
offered rejection or hostility to this religion
[p.10]: "Islamophobia". The attacks thus came to a
catastrophe not for the countries concerned, but for
the Islamic world.
[The discussion in Islam, whether violence is
allowed in the Qur'an or tolerance is required -
total contradictions]
However, voices raised on the Islamic side, saying
that these atrocities contradict the "real" Islam,
they are "un-Islamic" and not covered by the Quran.
However, both sides could prove their point of view by
quotations in the Quran. On closer inspection, it
turned out that the Muslims were indeed divided into
very contrary factions, but could still feed their
views with appropriate Quran quotations. While some
have the interpretation of the mission to produce
nuclear weapons from the Holy Book, others in the same
book saw it as the embodiment of tolerance.
This caused even greater uncertainty in the
non-Islamic world. Who is right? How can one read out
so different things from one and the same text? How
does it work?
1.2. Truth research about Islam - [the
oil blocks research about Islam]
[The new translation by Christoph Luxenberg:
combination of Arabic with Syro-Aramaic elements]
At roughly the same time as the incidents, but
completely independently, Christoph Luxenberg, an
expert in ancient Semitic languages, answered the
question by reading the Koran not as pure Arabic but
as a mixed language with Syro-Aramaic elements. He did
this with so much success that, as the author of a
textbook that appeared only in German, he brought it
to the front page of The New York Times. His
assertion: The original texts of the Qur'an, some of
them written far before Muhammad, were not written in
Arabic but partly in Aramaic; later Arab editors had
given catastrophic misinterpretations by their
ignorance. Other scientists from other disciplines
refuted essential claims of traditional Islamic
historiography.
[Censorship on truth research in Islam]
Scientific discomfort about the sources of the Quran
and the historicity of Muhammad existed some time ago,
but received almost no attention from the classical
Orientalists and the public.
[Gustav Weil: Oral traditions are without value,
but are poetry]
Gustav Weil (1808-1889) was the first to deal with the
topic of Islam historically and critically [Footnote
1]
Gustav Weil: Muhammad the Prophet, his
life and his teachings (original German: Mohammed
der Prophet, sein Leben und seine Lehre); Stuttgart
1843
For him, the purely oral traditions [p.11] of the life
of the Prophet, his deeds and sayings, were given
through generations, are rated as worthless as a
source for historical events.
Around the same time, the Mohammed biographies of Ibn
Hisham (died 834) and at-Tabari (died 922) were
translated into various European languages.
[William Muir: Islam is legend and storyteller -
all worthless]
In his book "Life of Mahomet", published in four
volumes between 1856 and 1861, William Muir states the
perfectly legendary structure of Islamic traditions
and is presenting sources that rely on storytellers as
completely worthless.
[Ignaz Goldziher: Hadith is all fake from later
times]
In his "Muhammedan Studies" (original German:
Muhammedanische Studien" - town of Halle (Germany)
1889), Ignaz Goldziher (1850-1921), the veteran of
Islam scholarship, calls the hadiths (anecdotal
collections of utterances and deeds of Muhammad) pure
fakes from later times.
[Caetani, Lammens, Morozow: Koran was composed in
the 11th century - Klimovich: Mohammed and Caliphs
are supposed to be mystical figures]
The Italian early Islamic specialist Leone Caetani
(1869-1935) and the Belgian Henri Lammens (1862-1937),
who lived in Lebanon and mastered both the new and the
ancient oriental languages, share the same opinion.
According to the Soviet Islamic scholar Morozow, the
Quran was not completed before the eleventh century;
it was not until the Crusades that Islam assumed its
own identity. His colleague Lucjan Klimowitsch calls
Muhammad and the caliphs mystical figures, which were
subsequently established. His article "Did Muhammad
really live?" (1930) at that time could probably only
appear in the godless Soviet Union.
[Blachere: The life of Muhammad is without sources
- nothing is provable]
The Frenchman Regis Blachere (1900-1973), translator
of Qur'an and specialist in Arabic literature,
summarizes his attempt to reconstruct the life of
Muhammad as follows: In the end, there are no sources
that make this possible. The traditional traditions
are scientifically useless, the Quran itself says
nothing about this topic.
[Bashear: Parts of Islam are invented form making
Mecca a religious Center]
There were also Muslim scholars performing critical
science about the historical sources of Islam. There
is for example Mr. Dr. Suliman Bashear (1947-1991),
professor at the University of Nablus [[in
Palestine]]. In one of his lectures, angry students
threw him out of the second-floor window, and the
publishing of his "Introduction to Another Story"
[p.12] (in Arabic) cost him his job in 1984. He had
the courage to say that certain traditions had simply
been invented to relocate the founding of the religion
to Mecca.
So there were enough researchers and researches
approaching Islam and its founder from the facts
presenting a very different picture than the
traditional tradition.
[Until 2001, the criticism of Islam is on a low
level]
But how could it be that an enlightened, educated
public did not notice this? Probably because the topic
was not an issue until the collapse of the towers of
the World Trade Center in New York on September 11,
2001. The reservations were also discreet, almost
bashful.
[Supplement: no criticism of Islam
because of the Saudi oil
The truth is different: the economic system of the
Zionist Rothschild is based on oil, and therefore
the West is dependent on Muslim oil. Therefore, no
criticism of Islam is allowed, or the oil will be in
danger. There is free energy since Mr. Tesla -
Rothschild's maneuvers is prohibiting free energy
and the Rockefellers are even killing the inventors
for some reason. Rumors say that the Saudis are
crypto-Jews. If Free Energy prevails worldwide, the
Crypto-Jews Saudis would only be beggars ...].
1.3. The lying Orientalists
[The Orientalists do not want to realize that
everything is just secondary source]
The classical Orientalists continued to dominate, for
whom traditional Islamic tradition was a solid fact.
Obviously they were unable or unwilling to realize
that they were only holding secondary sources as
Islamic sources.
Primary sources, however, are the indispensable
foundation of any historical research. The absolute
minimum of any scientific working is to test existing
material for its authenticity. Both were omitted by
the classical Islamic research, from Muslim
commentators nothing could be expected.
[The Orientalists simply claim that an edition
would be an "original" - this is the scientific
declaration of bankruptcy]
When referring to a scripture, such as the Quran, it
is of an essential significance to approach the
original as close as possible. Where does this script
come from? Who wrote it? When was it written? In which
language? In what writing? The evaluation must be made
exclusively on the basis of primary sources. It is in
no way about the interpretation of the content, that
is a matter of religion. What it is about again and
again, are just these primary sources. And we note
with great astonishment that oriental studies again
considered later edits as the original. This is
nothing less than a scientific declaration of
bankruptcy.
1.4. Islam researchers in Germany are
marginalized in the 20th century - [oil profits
blocking Islam research]
[German Islam research: Lüling is kicked out of
university for his enlightenment regarding Islam]
German 19th century Islamic science was progressive
and historically critical. It is associated with names
like Sprenger, Nöldeke, Wellhausen and Goldziher.
Apart from the fact that the latter died in the early
20th century, it can be stated that German Islamic
science experienced a frightening decline in the
course of the [p.13] 19th to the 20th century. Only
with Günter Lüling in the 1970s, a turn started.
Orientalism had become accustomed to taking over the
traditional Islamic religious legends 1:1 and selling
them as facts, as if there had never been a Goldziher.
Once caught up in this scientific superpower, the
gentlemen and ladies, with a few exceptions, were
unable to retreat from this impasse [[retreat, find a
way out]] because they were threatened with loss of
reputation or even their life's work. The fate of
Günter Lülings, who was formally destroyed, shows how
scientists fought against the academic stream.
Ordinarius Anton Spitaler brought after consultation
with Rudi Paret and others on record that Lüling's
habilitation thesis "would put the previous ideas of
history, text and content of the Quran upside down on
its head." That was not allowed to be published, and
Lüling was pushed out of the university.
[Supplement: Dependency from oil
blocks any science concerning Islam
This new taboo of science for an enlightenment of
fantasy Islam is provoked by the dependency of
MUSLIM OIL since the 1920s. The imams have free way
to affirm and to order any fantasy by this oil
privilege].
[German Islamic Research: Luxenberg is marginalized
and denounced in the Middle East]
The internationally most famous Islamic researcher
from Germany, Christoph Luxenberg, was isolated and
marginalized. A Berlin "woman colleague" even
distributed in the Middle East his name and address -
Luxenberg is a pseudonym, he himself is an ethnic
Arab.
["Politically incorrect Islam researchers"]
How politically incorrect Islam researchers are
confronted with authorities, also Prof. Muhammad
Kalisch can sing a song.
What these people, with many others, have in common is
the critical approach. Traditional positions are no
longer dismissed but questioned, no more, no less.
[Islamic prehistory is INVENTED]
As this early history is described from a traditional
Islamic point of view, it certainly did not take
place, we know that. But as it has really proceeded,
research has just begun. The genesis of Islam, of the
Prophet and of the origin of his book has to be
rewritten. We are only at the beginning of this
development.
This book [of Pressburg] reviews the current state of
knowledge. The insights are already breathtaking: far
from being complete, the new image of the emergence of
Islam, based on facts and facts, which will have
nothing to do with what we are traditionally taught.
