What do the Muslim traits tell us about their character and their religion?

Thanks for your response, M Tovey.

Yes, you will agree with me then that feeling superior for having certain beliefs makes a person arrogant and pride, hence, prone to make many mistakes that walk along with jealousy, hatred, rage and unhealthy levels of self-righteousness and self-confidence. These traits entail that a person lacks empathy and possesses a grandiose self-image. This people can't see what they do wrong because of these traits. This is where the danger lies.

And this, M Tovey, it's the definition of the Narcissistic Personality Disorder that you can find in the DSM-5.

It's not a coincidence that Muslim men suffer from this disorder, M Tovey. A lady named Hopes also referred today to this disorder when talking about her experience with a Muslim man in her reply to Tracey.

They're already in hell by suffering from this. Love has no room in a religion that promotes and perpetuates this kind of feelings nor can be found in their earthly lives. I have soundly studied this personality to understand many things that I experienced, and there can't be more evidence of this behavioural pattern in Muslim men, starting from their leader. So no, grace can't be found within Islam. Not in this life nor after.

Thanks very much for your post. Much appreciated.
