PSYCHO LOGIC

Submitted by DONVAN (United States), Aug 22, 2006 at 12:40

Greetings and salutations, The psycological dimensions of the Islamist cult are indeed interesting. Studies have indicated that about 65% of human beings display a willingness to adhere to an an authority figure. This was proven during the trials at Nuremburg where following orders was the shared mantra. Unlike the Nazi's, the Islamics have no individual, like Hitler, to submit too. Islamics must have submissive obedience to a undefined Mohammedism ideology which appeals to the exclusively masculine.

The imams,mullas,etc must always advocate the violent aspects of Islam in order to have status within the group.Unlike other religious ideologies which seek to mollify the masculine violence, Islam thru the texts and the interpretations seeks to elevate masculine violence to further advance the ideology. This is a particularly dangerous matrix. In effect, perpetual violence is the basis of this cult. Only the complete reformation or destruction will change the dynamic.
