natural parental instincts become more active. A person who has lost the ability to feel empathy feels<br />

nothing at the sight and sound <strong>of</strong> fellow beings in anguish, and those who take pleasure at the suffering <strong>of</strong><br />

others have deteriorated further into depravity and are said to suffer a <strong>dan</strong>gerous form <strong>of</strong> mental and/or<br />

emotional illness (narcissism is a <strong>dan</strong>gerous personality disorder characterized by the lack <strong>of</strong> empathy<br />

and self-deceit, which malady most <strong>of</strong> the worst despots in history have suffered from).<br />

The Over-riding Conscience factor:<br />

Other innate internal tendencies are also programmed in the human spirit, including longing for<br />

freedom, and our conscience. Conscience is defined as that internal moral sense which enables us to<br />

differentiate between right and wrong, and which lights the way for moral conduct. It is the gut feeling <strong>of</strong><br />

rightness or wrongness, which grips ones heart as we act on the varied daily impulses that drive us.<br />

Normal empathy certainly plays a part in this internal compass, but conscience is cognitively and<br />

spiritually more significant than simple empathy. All these codes are ingrained in our minds and hearts<br />

and serve us individually and as a species, for without subjecting behavior to a common standard <strong>of</strong> vice<br />

and virtue, social evolution is not possible. This is the reason that even primitive societies have always<br />

had words denoting a differentiation between good and bad. Although societies do not all practiced<br />

universal standards <strong>of</strong> vice and virtue, yet it is well known that almost all communities have always had<br />

codes to acknowledge what was good and bad. Codes, for example, respecting others and their property,<br />

mutual fidelity, speaking the truth, keeping promises, respecting family ties, helping the poor, weak, and<br />

handicapped. These codes come into being in response to our innate conscience, and are generally<br />

considered signs <strong>of</strong> good morality. Since every one desires security <strong>of</strong> person and property, liberty to<br />

worship, fair trial, freedom <strong>of</strong> speech etc., these facts, over a period <strong>of</strong> time, rose to become what is called<br />

Human Rights. He who violates these rights is considered by developed nations to be an enemy <strong>of</strong><br />

humankind.<br />

The Islamic Superiority factor:<br />

For a person to abandon internal standards guiding proper behavior towards others, forces or factors<br />

must first be applied to break down those natural internal clocks. There are many ways this can be<br />

accomplished in individuals and societies, and proven methodologies continue to be applied today with<br />

predictable results, as has indeed been the case with every political, national, or religious sect, which has<br />

ever behaved badly toward non-members or the non-privileged (including Islam). Islamic fundamentals<br />

preach innate superiority <strong>of</strong> Muslims over non-Muslims, social segregation, hatred <strong>of</strong> unbelievers, and<br />

elimination <strong>of</strong> dissenters through dominance, death and destruction. We turn to more quotes from the<br />

Qur’an to verify that conclusion:<br />

• Do not let non-Muslims enter mosques. They will go to hell. -Repentance: 17<br />

• ye who believe! The non-Muslims are unclean. So let them not come near the Inviolable Place <strong>of</strong><br />

Worship. -Repentance: 28<br />

• ye who believe! Murder those <strong>of</strong> the disbelievers ...and let them find harshness in you. -<br />

Repentance: 123<br />

• Humiliate the non-Muslims. -Repentance: 29<br />

• Certainly, God is an enemy to the unbelievers. -The Cow: 90<br />

• God has cursed the unbelievers, and prepared for them a blazing hell. -The Confederates: 60<br />

• Let not the believers take the unbelievers for friends.... whoso does that belongs not to God. -The<br />

House <strong>of</strong> Imram: 60<br />

• Moslems are hard against the unbelievers, merciful to one another. -Victory: 25<br />

• Muhammad has been sent by God with the religion <strong>of</strong> Truth, that He may cause it to prevail over<br />

all religions. -Private Apartments: 28<br />

• Muslims are the best <strong>of</strong> all nations. -House <strong>of</strong> Imram: 110<br />

A Muslim naturally believes in all such Qur’anic verses, pounded into his mind and spirit from<br />

childhood, which then warps his social outlook as he quickly becomes a narrow-minded sectarian. This
