The modern madness of the urban green worship of trees is in the forgetting
that trees can not only grow, but die:
"A GUM tree that cost taxpayers up to $400,000 and prompted a redesign of
part of the Commonwealth Games pool is struggling to survive. "
"The 70-year-old tree sparked controversy in 2005 when it became apparent it
was in the way of a temporary roof being erected over a stand for watching
swimming events. The Albert Park tree was given an 11th-hour reprieve when
it was decided that cutting it down would not be worth the public outcry and
the roof was hastily redesigned."
Now, if the greens would have let us build a new dam, perhaps we'd be able
to water such stressed trees more often.

A Jew named Mohammed
Has Mohammed (Muhammad) ever existed ?
Enquiry on monotheism

Presentation
Thanks to archaeological discoveries, to the translations from
sumerian, egyptian and aramaic, each and everyone can at last discover
the origin of the "sacred texts". Far from being the word of " God",
the revealed religions recycled archaic old myths. One will see why
they have provoked so many slaughters, by drawing their followers in
the trap of ignorance and vanity.
This work, very different from the official legends, takes us into one
of the most fabulous human creations, the invention of myths and
prophets. The author invites you to a fascinating inquiry into the
heart of monotheist religions.
You will discover that, as other biblical prophets, Mohammed seems to
be one of the most famous historical hoaxes. You will also learn why,
in which period and in which language the Coran was written and with
which aim.
Indispensable for human beings in quest of spiritual authenticity, and
also for every person wishing to understand current events and defend
the freedom of expression.
Bernard Raquin, psychotherapist and teacher in many seminars, has
published a number of books on spirituality and personal development.
Following the murder of his sister by her son and husband claiming to
be from "Islam", he decided to unveil the falsification and to shed
light on the spiritual path and historical truth.
"The ones who take in broad daylight any new proposition are first
called heretics."

Short bibliography
Does monotheism lead preferentially to crime? The question was often
asked by specialists of religions. The nine first Califs of Islam
perished assassinated. Preventing to think never served human
dignity, neither the cause of God. Scholars wondered if certain
religions are not constitutively violent. But more than monotheism,
it is the prophetic neurosis which is so often devil's mouthpiece...p.
23
Unfortunately for the beliefs of Christians, the historian Philo of
Alexandria, who was Jesus' contemporary and wrote several volumes, do
not quote him, and if the Messiah is famous until Syria, should we
believe Matthew, and until Egypt or Babylon since the Mages have come
from there, while is he not quoted anywhere in the chronicles? For the
past 2000 years, billions of Christian have wondered : why are we
still obliged to commit evil and suffer it, and indeed live, as if
Christ had never come?...
[The author put a few paragraphs a little more on the right to
indicate more personal and psychological reflections]
At the beginning was the lie : lies of prophets who forced visions and
voices to serve a political cause. I do not doubt visions, an eternal
and dream perception of the world. But a vision giving even
instructions about food, laws, hygiene and war is an illusion, because
nothing is more fluctuating than the customs and beliefs. Visions are
images drawn from the collective unconscious, teachings of wisdom,
they are allegorical and not ready-made answers to circumstantial
problems.
The three "biblical" religions have in common the destruction of
sources, the disregard for others and their pretension to detain the
revealed truth. Revealed by whom ? Not by a hoary sage full of
wisdom, polished by decades of asceticism and ennobling acts, but by
vociferous prophets. If God exists, it may be doubted that He chose
personality as controversial as Moses, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, David or
Mohammed, such as described by the tradition. The prophetic points to
his victim, the sage shows the path.
In what monotheism has served the cause of the unique God, who may
well have done without this wicked homage? Even the Gospels contain
rages. Some claim that the apostles represented a movement of
rebellion... Simon the Zealot, who became later Peter, was, as his
name indicates, an activist. His brother Judah (not Judah the
traitor) was called Iscariot, i.e. holder of the dagger with a bent
edge... Then this group was destroyed and consequently divinized,
according to a mechanism which was well analyzed by René Girard. The
exceptional person becomes a devil, a hero or a saint.
In which way polytheist were pagans ? Pagans, the Sumerians ,
inventors of writing, of laws, of the wheel, of most of the myths
which forged our civilization? They who have created schools and the
very first parliament? Pagans, the Babylonians, inventors of
astronomy, of medicine, of treatises on plants and of the fabrication
of therapeutical drugs?
Ignorant, the Egyptians, where men and women were equals? It is
sufficient to go in any museum to become immediately struck by wonder,
and modest.
Idolatrous, the Zoroastrians, without image of God, inciting to go
beyond oneself through "good thoughts, good words and good actions"?
Pagans, Krishna's devotees, seeking forgiveness and goodness in the
cult of fecundity, intoxicated with the gratitude for the boons from
heaven? Infidels, the worshippers of Vishnu, good ascetics who where
detached from the appearances of the world, who wanted to realize the
Atman, and merge into the deep consciousness of the Whole ?
Pagans, the Amerindians and their prestigious civilization? The
Aztec ?!
Idolatrous, the Celts and their refined conception of the divine, who
have dominated the world during several millennia and which have
elaborated myths taken again by Christianity?
Ignorant, the Buddhist, whose spirit glides above the feelings of
villainy? Idolatrous, the Jains, who do not kill animal and forbid to
themselves any violence ?
How much base feelings this despise, this self-conceit expresses. My
Goodness! Free us from these desert prophets, hellish creatures,
presumptuous, wicked, ignorant, who come out from the dark age heading
hosts of warriors of apocalypse, with foam at the mouth, with erected
sticks, the very servants of Satan!
"The prophets, these goats with a long beard, cannot pretend to any
intellectual or spiritual superiority... Their duplicity is obvious by
their very contradicting each other... As for the Coran, it is only a
bundle of nonsensical fables... The treatises of the Ancients such as
Plato, Aristotle, Euclides or Hippocrat have rendered greater services
to humanity." (Ibn Warraq quoting Abdel Razin Why I am not a Muslim, p.
324)
The soul who is seeking ecstasies against the others, end in the cul-
de-sac of mad anger. And the mystic who is petrified by awe will more
surely meet the "lower astral plane", the universe of those deities
which are evoked in the Tibetan Book of the Dead rather than bliss and
wonder.
The savior god was hardly a new thing when Jesus (whose name means I
save) appeared : Apollo, Adonis, Osiris, Serapis, Tanmuz in Sumer and
Syria, Odin in ancient Germany, Dionysos-Bacchus, Orpheus, Mithra and
Horus were around....(p.55-56)
When monotheism has inevitably lead to wars against the inevitable
heresies, young saplings sprout, a fresh wind from the human spirit,
who rediscovers the psychic functions of the old gods. And for that,
no need of books or ancient idols: the functioning of the brain is
sufficient. Any person is able to rediscover them by listening to his
unconscious. Monotheism, opposed to the functioning of the brain,
does not exist in any religion. Our brain needs, to transform the
thoughts in words, to elaborate representations. This explain, to my
eye, why pure monotheism, which was meant only for rare sages,
produces so many pathologies among ordinary believers, by pushing them
towards schizophrenia.56
Among the other influences on Jesus, the room is lacking to evoke
Apollonius of Tyan, and overall Mithra whose cult has been entirely
copied by the Christians. [Raquin quotes many details and proofs of
this well-known fact]
56
This Manichaeism appears again in the concept of dar-ul-islam
and dar-ul-harb. The land which have been conquered by Islam are
"land (House) of submission". The other countries are "lands of the
war". Intoxicated herds, which have been rendered mad by heinous
preachers, are allowed to plunder, kill, destroy the countries of the
"infidels" - who in fact they are themselves. Just as Mohammed was
put above God by making him speak, one puts Muslims beyond the others,
and the vociferous preacher feels he is superior to the one who is
good. Thus, a stupid person feels authorized to abuse a girl if she
eats during the Ramadan. Any pretentious fellow, because he
prostrates before nothingness, feels that he has the power to judge
the scholar. Here lies undoubtedly the biggest tragedy, and the basis
of every tyranny: to give to mediocre people the power to judge their
neighbors...67
People are summoned not to believe in jinns, but if they believe, they
are punished. Here is a constant feature of the Coran: pretending
everything and its opposite, installing a series of double binds which
prevent reflection, paralyze logic, to force the acceptance of any
theological contortion. These permanent contradictions are strong
evidence that the Coran is a collective work. Every religion has its
own contradictions. But the Coran is false and contradictory on
almost everything. And neither the Bible or the Gospels claim to have
an unique author. Or one should admit that Gabriel had become doting.
The "double bind" means receiving two opposite orders, which provokes
a stupefaction and paralyze intelligence: Allah agrees only to Islam
as a religion - but he says "no coercion in religion". Don't force
your women into prostitution - but if you do it, Allah will console
them. Be stoned to death if you don't believe in Allah - but anyhow
everything comes from Allah. Don't be among those who associate Allah
with other divinities - but anyhow your destiny is already written on
a tablet since your birth. Allah does not like that we divulgate
wicked words - unless one is being victim of them. "We have divided
the earth into communities: among them there are the right ones - and
others which are not" (Co 7, 168 ). There is no other God than God -
and still, there are angels, jinns, ogers; now, coming from Allah,
they incite to disagree with him.
But other assertions are still worse : "There is refuge against
Allah only in Him" (Co 9, 118) or "Who defends you day and night
against the Benefactor?" (Co 21, 42) or "I am seeking the protection
of the Lord of the Dawn against the evil he has created..." (113)
This reminds of the child beaten by his or her mother, and who, having
only her, goes and seek refuge near her. Neurosis and despair are
guaranteed. Take refuge against Allah in Allah ? Defend oneself
against the Benefactor? Ask from the creator of evil for protection?
p. 68-69
At the beginning Islam had no vocation to universality. Every prophet
addressed his own community: "... When we have sent a witness to every
community, and we have made you a witness for those people." (4, 41)
The religious leaders of primitive Islam which indeed were Samaritan
or Ismaelian rabbis, forbade the conversions to the new sect of non-
Arabs for two centuries, since one cannot convert to become the
descendant of Ismael, just as one could not become the children of
Israel. Then, the conversion system became exploited to dominate,
when the Caliphs understood the interest to make people’s mind
submissive to the Arabic domination disguised in Allah, when 600,000
words, hadîs, came out to justify their political agenda, when
Mohamed’s life was invented. (p.71)
Allah's origin :
Allah has got about one hundred "beautiful names". A poem from the
12th century B.C. grants to the Babylonian God Marduk about 50 names,
coming from the defeated and assimilated deities. Most of these will
qualify Allah.
The word Allah comes from the Sumerian divinity Lilitu, evolving
in Lilith (the Mother-Goddess of the Hebrew), and then in Al-ilat
(that of the Arabs), but also in El, God, in akkadian. One finds also
in Arabic Ala, 'to be terrified'. The name Allah has certainly been
the masculine form that the original name Al-ilat has taken.(p.71)
Devil's fall in the Coran
Later, Mohammed will get the authorization from Allah to use deceit,
lie and dissimulation (taquyya). "Hide what you have in the heart."
A verse (16, 91) asks not to break one’s oath, but another (5, 89)
allows perjury or incites to commit it (96). The development of this
devastating doctrine comes still more from the hadîs....
All this has its origin in the Bible : Michea has the vision that
Yahve holds a counsel with the heavenly hosts, allowing the Spirit to
become the spirit of lying against the adversaries of Israel. God
asks from his angels to help him to seduce the king Achab. "Then, one
of them appeared before the Lord to tell Him : 'I am the one who will
seduce him. And the Lord told him : 'In which way'? He answered: 'I
will go and be a spirit of lie in the mouths of all his prophets. The
Lord agreed : 'You will seduce him, since indeed you have this power.
Go and do in this wise." (1 Kings 22 19)
Yahve agrees to seduction, which is nonetheless the characteristic of
Satan. The CoTran will take again this theme, which is a blaspheme but
still natural for the superstitions of that time. The more one
invokes, the less one respects...
These intrigues provoke serious spiritual disorders. For sin is
Allah's work, while Satan is there only to fix the practical
details... Fanatics are basically victims of an individual neurosis,
but when they come together to intoxicate themselves and share their
hatred, they fall into psychosis, prisoners of themselves, rendering
themselves mutually mad. (p.76)
Allah's fall
Never spiritual discussions are to be found in the Coran or Mohammed's
life, except boring slogans. Never mystical preoccupations are
present, which would enable one to accord himself with a superior
moral code. Never renunciation to illusions and passions is hinted
at. Never the ultimatum aim of humanity is the object of
questioning. Forgiving is granted according to Allah's whims; the
absolution of sins does not come from an inner transmutation, but from
a mechanical profession of faith, all the more claimed and shown that
it is not put into practice by good actions in life. One finds only
the crazy frailty of an anxious Allah, because his subjects could
start venerating a secondary divinity, whom still He has created. In
the text one can only find the proclamation of the tragic despair of a
unique God, killing his own creatures after sending Satan to them to
have them doubt; obliged to slaughter people to force survivors to
prostrate before Himself. One sees in this book only Allah's
vertiginous fall into absolute nothingness, at war against its own
creation, having for satisfaction only servile people, robots devoid
of consciousness and without freedom. One reads only devilish
pleasures, threats and revenges.
The rights of the human creatures are threaded upon, betrayal is
sanctified; deceit is recommended; cruelty, baseness, possessiveness,
cupidity are encouraged; lie and dissimulation are favored.
Psalmody is there in lieu of piety. Recitations take the place of
reflection, litanies that of elevation. And all that is chanted until
entrancement, to forget, if only for one hour, the tragic condemnation
for the sin, not Adam's one, but still worse, for the sin of living,
because the very life of a human being is unbearable to Allah, indeed
jealous not to exist himself.
A human being will not be allowed the temptation to show love, on the
contrary, he will have to reject his own family : "Don't take for
friends your fathers or your brothers, if they prefer incredulity to
faith." (9, 23) "It is not befitting to the prophet or the believers
to implore God's forgiving for polytheists, be they their near and
dear, while they know that these people will be inmates of the
Furnace." (9, 113) "You will not find people believing in God and in
the Last Day, and showing love to those who oppose God and his
prophet, be they their fathers, their sons, their brothers, or members
of their clan." (83, 22). And woe to music, dance and joy! Woe to
love and long life to death! That is the war cry of those sects which
court death.
Those verses are only a remake of the Deuteronomy : "If your
brother, nephew, niece, your wife who rests on your chest, or the
friend who is as yourself, incite you to serve other gods and not me,
you must kill him; let your hand be the first to put him to death.
Lapidate him, let him die... If iniquitous people serve other gods
than Me, you will exterminate their town and you will slaughter all
its inhabitants by your sword." (Dt, 13)
Forced into a destiny "attached to its neck" whose aim he ignores,
the human being is now under surveillance to accomplish rituals which
are empty of meaning, to cry out of rage and bitterness before this
scorn of divine creation and this ontological incomprehension of the
world. Let it be submissive, this bunch of scoundrels ever ready to
rebel against Allah so that He " may send a messenger to warn them"
and feel the pleasure to destroy them: "There is no city that we will
not destroy and torment with the strongest torture before the Day of
Resurrection. That was fixed in the Scriptures." (Co 17, 5
The human being believed to be free: he is only an alien on this
earth, a prostrated slave. But in his curse, he will have also to be
wary of his best friend, who may be inhabited by a djinn; or of his
son who will judge him not believer enough and who will send him to
hell. He will have to see his mother and sister humiliated and
struck, this sister which is soft, beautiful, loving, consoling, the
only one which in fact deserves Allah's beautiful names. How difficult
it is, the coranic demand which teaches to despise woman; to transform
the mother, deity of our childhood, into an inferior creature, just
waiting to people the hell...
And to crown all that, the very foundation of spirituality -
compassion - is absent from Coran. Mercy, love, the thrust of the
heart towards the one who suffers, the care towards the soul who is
searching, are substituted by sinister vociferations. Ceaselessly,
Allah is called merciful; but he never demonstrates mercy. In the
description of ignorant redactors, he has become a conceited and cruel
being. The most he can do is to accept servility as a proof of
submissiveness; and his forgiving is only for doubts about his
existence, since acts are secondary. At last, intoxicated with
Himself, Allah falls in the supreme sin of pride, without any feeling
for His own tragic destiny of a burning king. Thus blinded by his own
glory, Allah takes the place of Lucifer. He went beyond is likes,
such as Odon, Kali, Shiva, Nergal, Yahve, Satan, and ends up alone in
the world.
Under the pretense of absolute submission, the Coran represents
eventually God's murder, by rejecting Him outside humanity. So, these
legend-makers who wrote it have been the root cause of innumerable
crimes against the true Allah. That is why the Coran is received by
the technique of overfeeding and stuffing memory; faith is not
necessary because faith is a choice, whereas there, only submission is
expected. We can notice that the end of the theological debate in
Islam, in the 14th century, triggered a long lasting regression of
this culture which had been able, by translating Greek and Persian
authors, to reach the summits of civilization.
Reconquering Jerusalem!
[In 614, the last Persian emperor of the dynasty of Sassanides,
Chosroes II, takes Jerusalem from the ruler of Byzance. He hands its
administration onto the Jew, but they are so violent towards
Christians that he has to remove it from their hands. In 630, the
capital is taken again by Heraklios, the ruler of Byzance, to be lost
a second time in 638. Meanwhile, the Jews had enrolled more and more
Arabic tribes of mercenary and taken them on their side by having them
believe the myth that they were descendant of Ishmael and thus that it
was then their duty to reconquer Jerusalem, which had become in their
new understanding their own holy land. Before, the Arabic tribes had
nothing to do with this city. There were two groups, Ishmaelians and
Agarenes, the latter were supposed to descend from Ishmael’s mother
and Abraham second wife, Agar. According to the historians
specialists of this period, there has been a confusion of words,
between hegirian, that is the migrants, and agarenes, Agar’s
descendants. These “migration” which was in fact of Arabic tribes into
Syria and the West of Persia was interpreted much later as the one
from Mecca to Medina, two towns which just did not exist in the 7h or
8th century according to historians. The group of Agarenes gave birth
to the Shiites, while the Ishmaelians gave birth to the Sunnis
Muslims : Ismaelian and Mussalman have indeed the same etymology.]
They had been distinct right from the beginning, so the story of the
early schism between the two is again another myth.
