It was meant to be ironic, right?

>"595. Mahomet was without authority. His reasons, then, should have been very strong, having
only their own force. What does he say, then, that we must believe him?
596. The Psalms are chanted throughout the whole world.
Who renders testimony to Mahomet? Himself. Jesus Christ desires His own testimony to be as
nothing.
The quality of witnesses necessitates their existence always and everywhere; and he, miserable
creature, is alone.
597. Against Mahomet.—The Koran is not more of Mahomet than the Gospel is of Saint
Matthew, for it is cited by many authors from age to age. Even its very enemies, Celsus and Porphyry,
never denied it.
The Koran says Saint Matthew was an honest man. Therefore Mahomet was a false prophet
for calling honest men wicked, or for not agreeing with what they have said of Jesus Christ.
598. It is not by that which is obscure in Mahomet, and which may be interpreted in a mysterious
sense, that I would have him judged, but by what is clear, as his paradise and the rest. In that he is
ridiculous. And since what is clear is ridiculous, it is not right to take his obscurities for mysteries.
It is not the same with the Scripture. I agree that there are in it obscurities as strange as those
of Mahomet; but there are admirably clear passages, and the prophecies are manifestly fulfilled.
The cases are, therefore, not on a par. We must not confound and put on one level things which
96
Pensees Blaise Pascal
only resemble each other in their obscurity, and not in the clearness, which requires us to reverence
the obscurities.
599. The difference between Jesus Christ and Mahomet.—Mahomet was not foretold; Jesus
Christ was foretold.
Mahomet slew; Jesus Christ caused His own to be slain.
Mahomet forbade reading; the Apostles ordered reading.
In fact, the two are so opposed that, if Mahomet took the way to succeed from a worldly point
of view, Jesus Christ, from the same point of view, took the way to perish. And instead of concluding
that, since Mahomet succeeded, Jesus Christ might well have succeeded, we ought to say that, since
Mahomet succeeded, Jesus Christ should have failed.
600. Any man can do what Mahomet has done; for he performed no miracles, he was not
foretold. No man can do what Christ has done."
Pascal "Pensees"

>Matthew was an honest man
of course, Jesus himself was the living Gospel. The written Gospels are just pale imitations of the real Gospel of Christ

>Jesus Christ was foretold
Try telling this to a Jew

>Mahomet slew, Jesus didnt
better throw out all of the Old Testament Prophets then, especially Moses

>Mohamet forbade reading
What the fuck? where are you even getting this from
Muhummad was the archetypal stock standard Old Testament Prophet, almost all criticisms against Muhummad can be made against the old testament Prophets.

If Christians actually admitted that The Old Testament has nothing to do with the teachings of Jesus, then maybe you could criticise Islam without being hypocrites

Oh and, Muhummad did perform miracles. There are many in the Hadith and some in the Quran too, Muslims dont speak about them much.
Of course, Christards will say those are all made up, only Jesus's miracles are real.

What do you mean? I think there are moments when the author uses irony to make his point but overall he means what he is plainly saying.
