       You are illiterate. The Iblis story was about Iblis refusing to

       > So the angels prostrated all together— 31. but not Iblîs, who
       refused to prostrate with the others. 32. Allah asked, “O Iblîs!
       What is the matter with you that you did not join others in
       prostration?” 33. He replied, “It is not for me to prostrate to
       a human You created from sounding clay moulded from black mud.”

       Iblis' refusal to bow to Adam is in fact consistent with 16:49,

       You are illiterate. This verse is proclaiming the superiority of
       low sexual dimorphism.
       "Parents should not be allowed into Paradise."
       Mohammed himself was a parent, and said he would be going to
       Paradise.
       "Allah is not punishing these couples for procreating."
       Allah understands that we are at war. If the followers of
       Mohammed had reproduced more during Mohammed's time, perhaps the
       Islamic armies could have won at Poitiers, and then the
       Renaissance and consequently the Industrial Revolution could
       have been prevented from ever occurring. How many more births
       could then have been prevented?

       'A hacker is not necessarily the same person as the coder.'
       Ah. Say no more.
       'You are illiterate.'
       Not really a good idea to insult the guy who's doing all the
       work for you. Just sayin'. And for your information, I'm not
       illiterate, I'm autistic. I process information differently from
       big-brained neurotypicals like yourself. If you can't tell the
       difference between autism and illiteracy, then you have my pity.
       The proper changes have been made to the document. You can
       continue your examination now.

       "I'm autistic."
       Autism is a Western concept. We are here to destroy Western
       civilization.

       > Ayat 96-98: '96. Indeed, those against whom Allah’s decree of
       torment is justified will not believe— 97. even if every sign
       were to come to them—until they see the painful punishment. 98.
       If only there had been a society which believed before seeing
       the torment and, therefore, benefited from its belief, like the
       people of Jonah. When they believed, We lifted from them the
       torment of disgrace in this world and allowed them enjoyment for
       a while.’

       > Ayat 83-98: ‘83. They ask you O Prophet about
       Ⱬul-Qarnain. Say, “I will relate to you something of his
       narrative.” 84. Surely We established him in the land, and gave
       him the means to all things. 85. So he traveled a course, 86.
       until he reached the setting point of the sun, which appeared to
       him to be setting in a spring of murky water, where he found
       some people. We said, “O Ⱬul-Qarnain! Either punish them
       or treat them kindly.” 87. He responded, “Whoever does wrong
       will be punished by us, then will be returned to their Lord, Who
       will punish them with a horrible torment. 88. As for those who
       believe and do good, they will have the finest reward, and we
       will assign them easy commands.” 89. Then he traveled a
       different course 90. until he reached the rising point of the
       sun. He found it rising on people for whom We had provided no
       shelter from it. 91. So it was. And We truly had full knowledge
       of him. 92. Then he traveled a third course 93. until he reached
       a pass between two mountains. He found in front of them a people
       who could hardly understand his language. 94. They pleaded, “O
       Ⱬul-Qarnain! Surely Gog and Magog are spreading
       corruption throughout the land. Should we pay you tribute,
       provided that you build a wall between us and them?” 95. He
       responded, “What my Lord has provided for me is far better. But
       assist me with resources, and I will build a barrier between you
       and them. 96. Bring me blocks of iron!” Then, when he had filled
       up the gap between the two mountains, he ordered, “Blow!” When
       the iron became red hot, he said, “Bring me molten copper to
       pour over it.” 97. And so the enemies could neither scale nor
       tunnel through it. 98. He declared, “This is a mercy from my
       Lord. But when the promise of my Lord comes to pass, He will
       level it to the ground. And my Lord’s promise is ever true.”’

       Ⱬul-Qarnain is theorized by many scholars to be Alexander
       the Great.

       Please follow procedure. We are currently only removing Judaic

       'Autism is a Western concept. We are here to destroy Western
       civilization.'
       So that gives you an excuse to call people who process
       information differently from other people 'illiterate.'
