The human mind is a battleground of contending forces where the two most potent are reason and emotion: where reason assesses the life and produces measures that are adaptive to the best of its ability, while emotion, by and large, operates on feelings. Ordinarily, an uneasy truce prevails between the two generally incompatible powers.

Islam is an intensely emotional authoritarian system of belief. Hence, Islam induces powerful, vibrant imprinting in many of its adherents. From this segment of the Muslim population, fanatic jihadists arise and pose existential threats to the “other.” The jihadists are rigidly-imprinted foot-soldier Islamic automatons with little choice but to carry out the fatwa and dictates of their high-ranking religious leaders, such as the Ayatollahs in the case of the Shi’a and Muftis for the Sunni. 

The authoritarian type poses numerous problems and presents many ramifications — ramifications much too significant and complex to be comprehensively treated here. For now, it is essential to understand that a person with an authoritarian personality is an extremist.

 Understanding that the human mind could be a better discerner of objective reality is essential. Truth is in the sense of the beholder. The outside world only supplies bits and pieces of raw material that reason puts together to form its existence. Depending on the type and number of bits and pieces a given mind receives, its reality can be very different from that of another.

The campaign of death waged by the Islamist jihadist, be he a puppet or a puppeteer, is energized by the belief in delectable rewards that await the faithful implementer of Allah’s dictates. Through highly effective indoctrination, the jihadist believes firmly in Islam’s grand delusion. He believes that Allah is the supreme creator of earth and heavens; it is his duty and privilege to abide by Allah’s will and carry out his plans at all costs. He believes firmly in a magnificently immortal afterlife in paradise, for which a martyr’s death is the surest, quickest admission. Although the dominating theme of the delusion is quasi-spiritual, the promised rewards of the afterlife awaiting the martyr are sensual and material. All the things and activities that the jihadist desires and cannot attain or practice and rejects in his earthly life will be purified and proffered to him in the paradise of the next life. Thus, goes the hallucination.

 The more prescribed and homogeneous a group, the greater the group’s consensual reality since the members share much in standard experiential input and reinforce each other’s mindset. Thus, members of a given religious order, for instance, tend to think much more similarly to one another than to members of other groups with different experiential histories.

Various approximations of objective reality, therefore, rule the mind. The degree to which these approximations deviate from the larger group’s consensual truth determines their delusional extent and severity.

Therefore, it is understandable that many higher-up Islamic puppeteers, who are usually brainwashed from early childhood, devote their fortunes and persons to implementing their deeply ingrained hallucinations.

Deluded by the threats and promises of Islam, poor or rich Muslims vie with one another to further the violent cause of Allah.

And right here in America, the suffocating tentacles of Islamic bigotry are beginning to reach out to people. A few years ago, for instance, a teenage girl had to run away from her Muslim family and fear the threat of death at her own father’s hand for her conversion to Christianity.

Over the years, Islamic leaders have found it expedient to feed the masses, mainly the toxic ingredients, to further their interests. Individuals and groups, for instance, have used the immense energizing power of hatred to rally the faithful; the cohesive force of polarization creates in-group solidarity and the great utility value of blaming others for their natural and perceived misfortunes. Jews have been their favorite and handy scapegoats from day one. To this day, as actual fascists, like the Nazis, Muslims blame just about everything on the Jews.

 Remember that Islam not only condones but encourages lying and dissimulation—Taqqyeh—in dealing with non-Muslims. No, it is not the Zionists and fundamentalist Christians who are misrepresenting Islam. The left and the Islamic institutions are guilty of dissimulation and fraud.

 A German immigrant wrote this to me: “I love America, but its political correctness is suffocating and shows too much tolerance towards its enemy at home.”

 These are trying times for all of us. Free people must prioritize their priorities with wisdom and avoid shortsighted simplistic solutions. It is far more prudent to face the implacable Islamofascists on the march now than go through another 9/11.
