Disordered..

"Muslim Personality Disorder" seems to be a composite of manic depression with elements of disassociative and even multiple personality disorder. Witness the documented personality change of Moslems, males especially, when in a Moslem dominated society and in a non Muslim setting.

Regarding the issue of Muslim creating "Islam" or vice versa, is an example of a disordered thoughts. "Islam" is a mental construct, it does not exist in the real world. "Islam" seems to be a compilation of various source materials, stories, legends, sincerely held beliefs, but fantasy none the less. It is ,therefore, obvious that is the "Moslem" that creates the fantasy of "Islam" .

I find it tedious and unproductive to pursue the discussion into into the details of some "Harry potter" type fantasy of half man/ half horse carrying away some character into a fantastic paradise where any and all desires and sexually repressed fantasies are fulfilled.

There is help available for those unfortunate enough to allow their disordered thinking to replace reality. Counseling with an understanding professional may help. In more severe cases, medicines and confinement are required if suicidal ideation, obsessive / compulsive thoughts regarding hostility focused toward others, ( ie Jews, Christians, infidels, ) who are not so inflicted.
