![]() It failed though to conquer and unify all Abrahamic religions, as judaism, the go(l)d cult(ure) declined and Christianity found protection in Byzantium and the Franks, or rather in the dissensions within Islam (Berber abandoning Spain, dynastic disputes that moved the capital from Damascus to Baghdad). Islam then spread on its natural territory - the semite world, unifying it along those fault lines and then moved further into the alien world of Eastern 'Universal religions' thru India, allied to the Brahmins to extinguish the higher spiritual culture of Buddhism. This division thus ended the project of a global Islam shortly after its birth, and became the 'excuse' for military evolution. That the 'sacred family' was murdered within decades of the death of the prophet by their distant cousins who had tried to kill Mohammed and now took advantage of its religion to spread its power (Ummayads, Sunni version), tells a lot about the huge distance between the prophets of the wor(l)d and the human people who form the body of a civilination. Its sub-cultures in mind are clear, the 'purified' version (Shiites) which tried to carry the design of the prophet - first seed of a civilination: a 'sacred genetic/memetic family' spreading to the entire planet its memes to construct a single superorganism of mankind. We study Islam in its many elements after the customary introductions to the 'larger model' of the organic Universe, then focused on the superorganism of History and finally on Islam. In any case today Islam is in inquisition mode as all superorganisms are faced with extinction. But that is perhaps asking too much to a civilination. Had Islam become educated in those concepts it would have survived far better in the present age. The problem then of Islam is the lack of a proper metaphysical theory of human gods, which however prior to those papers was precisely considered by my country man from Al-Andalus, Ibn Khaldun, 'the best philosopher of history ever' (Toynbee). ITs doctrine, acting as the DNA of its cells-believers is irrelevant in its details, taylored for an age - middle Age chivarly/stirrup cycle - long gone. Islam is then the central point of the equation of the 7 civilinations of History: Gaia (life-past) Metal-earth (future-machines). ![]() As such from a historic perspective it deserves a respect that it is denied from the point of view of the superorganism that is killing History and Gaia, the metal-earth. Islam is the last extant 'subconscious collective God' of mankind supported by its believers, able to accept even the apoptosis of martyrdom for the sake of the whole.
