“But the bible does say that Satan is the enemy of God.”

Chapter and verse, please.

“Islam worships satan. They’re just too stupid to admit it.”

You can’t worship something unless you believe in it. The mideival Christian Satan might not be the Islamic conception of evil. That doesn’t mean that they aren’t evil (sure are), just that they don’t worship the personification of evil as first envisioned by the Manicheans. They worship, imho, the Creator of Heaven and Earth, but they believe he demands that they commit great crimes in order to conquer the world in His name. Not too long ago, Christians also committed great crimes, such as murder and enslavement, in the furtherance of the Gospel. But the Gospel, it seems, is a sufficiently flexible doctrine that later interpretations ruled that sort of behavior out.

The Koran is not so flexible, which is why the Islamic world remains so totally dysfunctional despite its vast oil wealth and a language with a rich literature. Mass murder, intolerance of the very worst sort, paranoia and overall backwardness will forever keep its adherents impoverished and miserable.

Many. Starting in the garden when the serpent tempted Eve and continuing right through revelation when the dragon is cast into the lake of fire. The devil (Satan, Lucifer, Allah, Baal etc) works against God throughout the entire bible

“Islam worships satan. They’re just too stupid to admit it.”

Hogwash. In this world you either worship God and His Christ (Jesus) or you worship satan. You either serve God or you serve His enemy. Doesn't matter whether you believe or not. Atheists are some of the enemy's greatest servants whether they realize it or not.

They worship, imho, the Creator of Heaven and Earth,

No. They worship Allah the arabian moon god. If they worshiped the creator of heaven and earth they would be worshiping Jehovah, the God of Israel

Not too long ago, Christians also committed great crimes, such as murder and enslavement, in the furtherance of the Gospel.

The key point is that when so called "Christians" committed those acts they were violating the scriptures. When moslems murder innocents (non-moslems) they are adhering to their scriptures.

The Koran is not so flexible, which is why the Islamic world remains so totally dysfunctional despite its vast oil wealth and a language with a rich literature. Mass murder, intolerance of the very worst sort, paranoia and overall backwardness will forever keep its adherents impoverished and miserable.

And here we are in agreement.
