A Critical Analysis of 'Real Islam'. Its People ... - Bukti dan Saksi

Islamic dehumanization of non-Muslims results in people innocently taking a tube in London, a train
in Madrid, a plane in Washington, a bus in Jerusalem, or going to the theater in Moscow or a school in
Beslan, to be wantonly murdered with nary a Muslim afterthought. Indeed videos like the beheadings of
American civilians or mutilating their corpses invokes excitement, pleasure, and celebration in the Arab
world, where they are replayed over and over to a demanding audience. The graphic video of the decapitation
murder of Nick Berg, while his faithful Muslim murders chant ‘Allah Akbar’ sickens human
beings capable of empathy and normal human emotion, ...but is a spiritual religious experience to
Islamists. It is pure stupidity to expect reform from individuals or cultures excited and thrilled at the
images of such wanton violence and brutality as has been perpetrated by Osama and his ilk. One can
study the culture and religion to understand in an abstract intellectual level the process of Islamic
corruption of the individual psyche, but one cannot truly ‘understand’ the depth of animal depravity
gripping the hearts and minds of these ‘new barbarians’ without trying to put yourself in their place and
trying to think and feel as they do, but any attempting such methods of full immersion risk losing
humanity in the journey, if not sanity.
The Full Immersion and Education factor:
The first step in any process wherein an individual surrenders personal will over to any cause is full
immersion into the alternate doctrine and philosophy demanding the devotion, and separation from all
competing realities. In keeping with this rule, the secrets of Islamic extremist group’s successes lie in the
effectiveness of Islamic schools worldwide. The secret is embodied in millions of poor and
impressionable boys kept entirely ignorant of the world and, for that matter, largely ignorant of all but one
interpretation of Islam. These schools often manufacture young men who are the perfect Jihad machines.
With support from governments, family, and cultural traditions, such schools continue to serve as Islam’s
primary method of indoctrination. The Qur’an is recited, memorized, and then recited again. Considering
the source material memorized, it is a simple, natural act for those so brainwashed to step out of such
schools, pick up a weapon, and start killing infidels.
We all know (because it’s true and because it has been repeated so many times) that ‘repetition is the
best teacher’. Repetition and consistency are indeed the best teachers, of which Islamic students receive
heavy doses along with further reminders five times a day when called to prayer. For Muslims, daily
prayers are not personal supplications where questions are asked or answers expected. The Islamic God is
unapproachable and unknowable, and certainly above considering anything as mundane as individual
needs or personal revelation. All instructions and answers are already contained in the scripture, word,
and example of Muhammad, and it is the duty of Muslims to accept the Cleric or Imams explanation of
how these unalterable revelations apply to their life issues today. As such daily prayers represent more
declarations of compliance than typical supplications seeking help on a personal level. These personal
devotionals, repeated five times a day, seem designed to be more chants to reinforce commitment to all
Islamic principals and aims. Then there is the socio-emotional power of ‘group-think’ events. In many
other Muslim group settings (Friday sermons, funerals, protests), the rapture of large gatherings raising
arms and chanting ‘Allah Akbar’ have the same socio-emotional effect as the huge crowds in the early
1900’s raising arms, clicking heals and proclaiming ‘Heil Hitler!’ The otherwise weak and powerless
individual gains power, acceptance, and respect by surrendering self to the group, thus cloaking that
weakness with the perception of power that comes from affiliation with a group drunk on a sense of
superiority and a divine mandate to make war.
The Overcoming Empathy factor:
Man is born with internal mechanisms intended to further both the individual and the species. Some
of those mechanisms are emotional, including the natural tendency for empathy towards others. Empathy
is the ability to see and feel things from the viewpoint of another. Empathy plays a critical role in
persuading individuals to conduct their activities so as not to cause undo harm or pain in others. A person
who has not lost the ability to feel empathy and compassion actually "feels" a portion of the anguish and
pain experienced by a victim. A person so in tune with others responds by seeking relief for the victim,
and in doing so also consoles his own empathetic suffering. Empathetic feelings are quite natural in
children, increase with cognitive development, and are further sharpened when children are born and
