And you thought global warming was the biggest crisis the world faces. My latest in FrontPage:
On Tuesday, a Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” and “Infidel, you must die” stabbed four people, killing one, at a train station near Munich. Nonetheless, Bavarian security officials immediately denied that he “had an Islamic extremist motive.” Then what caused the attack? Bavaria’s state interior minister Joachim Herrmann said that the attacker had “mental disorders.”
There you are. Nothing to do with Islam here, folks. Don’t go jumping to conclusions that these stabbings had something to do with Islam just because he screamed “Allahu akbar” and “Infidel, you must die.” He was mentally ill. That’s all.
In fact, we have seen this kind of mental illness in Muslims before:
France: Muslim destroys Christmas decorations, screams “Allahu akbar”: “His mental state, quickly found wanting, required his placement in the specialized hospital Allonnes.”
France: Muslim driver ramming pedestrians while screaming “Allahu akbar” was “absolutely not an act of terrorism”: “‘This is absolutely not an act of terrorism,’ Prosecutor Marie-Christine Tarrare told reporters during a press conference, adding that the man had a ‘long-lasting and severe psychological disorder’ and had been hospitalised over 150 times since 2002.”
UK: Imam accused of recruiting for jihad group doesn’t have to wear electronic tag — it breaches his human rights: “A terror suspect last night won a human rights case to have his tag removed – because he thinks MI5 has put a bomb inside it. A judge said the dangerous preacher of hate has mental health problems, and wearing the electronic monitoring device was making him ‘delusional’.”
California: Muslim arrested in mosque vandalism: “His older sister describes Khan as having schizophrenia.”
Muslim NYPD cop killer told passers-by to watch: “The gunman who fatally ambushed two New York City police officers in their squad car had a long criminal record, a hatred for police and the government and an apparent history of mental instability that included an attempt to hang himself a year ago, police said Sunday.”
France: Muslim who stabbed rabbi gets four years: “Haddouche was deemed unfit to stand trial because of mental issues following a psychiatric evaluation…”
Toronto Muslim charged with carrying concealed meat cleaver into Parliament: “RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson told reporters that Ali is known to authorities, but ‘not in the sort of counter-terrorism context.’ In fact, Paulson does not believe that the man’s actions were politically motivated or an act of terror. ‘I understand it is less a concern around so-called national security considerations as it is a mental health issue,’ he said. ‘There is a history of behaviours that are odd.’”
Austria: Muslim drives car into crowd, killing 3, then gets out and stabs passersby: “Police are not currently investigating terrorism as a motive and the man is believed to be suffering from mental illness.”
Canada: Police shoot Muslim wearing apparent suicide vest and holding triggering device: “In the aftermath of the shooting, police downplayed the incident saying only that the call involved ‘an emotionally disturbed person.’”
Muslim bangs on cockpit door, threatens to down plane, “wanted to see Allah”: “After being held back from the cabin door, which could not have been opened anyway, the man, who fellow passengers said appeared to have mental health issues, was then guarded by staff and the sports stars in business class.”
Muslima who beheaded toddler recently became religious, started wearing hijab: “One theory is that the woman is mentally ill and that she may have been exploited by a man or men she knew.”
Canada: Ottawa shooter’s father waged jihad in Libya in 2011; shooter not a recent convert but a longtime Muslim: “Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, the slain 32-year-old suspected killer of a Canadian Forces soldier near Parliament Hill, was a labourer and small-time criminal – a man who had had a religious awakening and seemed to have become mentally unstable.”
Canada: Muslim acting “in the name of Allah” runs down two soldiers, flips car after chase, charges officers with long knife, is shot: “‘We are at the beginning of an investigation. Several hypotheses are being looked at,’ said Sgt. Michel Brunet, adding that investigators would study various angles, including mental illness and terrorism.”Philly cop shooter: “I follow Allah. I pledge my allegiance to the Islamic State. That is why I did what I did.”: “Archer’s mother has indicated that he is mentally ill and Ross said investigators do not know yet if the suspect was indeed radicalized or tied to terrorism.”
Oklahoma: School evacuated after “Middle Eastern” woman says she came there to “take the kids to heaven”: “During the news conference, police also said that the woman had been having mental health concerns recently.”
Chattanooga jihad murderer viewed Awlaki material online, spoke of Islamic martyrdom as long ago as 2013: “As the F.B.I. sent more investigators into this city Monday to explore dozens of possible leads, a picture took shape of a deeply troubled young man who struggled with mental illness and drug abuse at the same time he found himself alienated from United States policies in the Arab world, according to the authorities, friends and the family representative.”
Colorado Muslim stabs cop, drops Qur’an during struggle: “At about 2 p.m. Saturday, the suspect’s family told law enforcement that they were worried because Clark left his residence in Penrose and said he wasn’t going to return. They also said Clark was mentally disturbed, had been working out a great deal during the last two months and recently had broken up with his girlfriend.”
NYC police commissioner: Hatchet attack by convert to Islam was terror: “Authorities also are trying to determine if Thompson had any history of mental illness.”
UK Muslim who admitted sharing jihad videos rants about “enemy of Islam court”: “Ahmed, who has a history of mental health problems, pleaded guilty to two counts of dissemination of a terrorist publication.”
France: Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” tries to strangle police officer: “Other police officers saw the events on the video surveillance system and rushed to save their colleague, who had been thrown to the ground. His assailant was said to have a history of psychiatric problems.”
Spain: Violent Muslim screaming “Allahu Akbar, all you Christians will die!” gets arrested: “Later, he was administered comprehensive tests to ascertain if he was under the influence of drugs or suffered from a mental illness.”
UK Muslim gets 20 years for trying to set up jihad training camp in Oregon: “Haroon Aswat, who has been treated for mental illness in the UK, had pleaded guilty to the charges in March after being extradited from Britain to the US last year.”
France: Knife-wielding Muslim teen screams “Allahu akbar,” shoots teacher with BB gun: “A psychiatric examination was scheduled for 13 October, with the teenager is likely to be brought before a judge.”
Colorado Muslima pleads guilty to conspiring to aid Islamic State: “Moore set sentencing for Jan. 23, saying he wanted time for Conley to undergo more complete psychiatric testing. ‘I desire more information’ on her mental state, he said, asking for both a psychological and personality evaluation.”
Are you starting to see a pattern?
What could account for this global outbreak of mental illness, that always manifests itself in similar ways? Authorities should start asking themselves why so many mentally ill people embrace Islamic jihad violence. This sort of thing happens so often that the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders should consider adding “Islamic jihad” as a mental illness to its next edition.
Forget global warming – what are Obama and Kerry and the learned theorists in North America and Europe doing about this curious epidemic of mental illness?

David says
Mental illness OR demonic possession?
Humm…. islam IS Satan worship. Most educated muslims KNOW THIS. Could it be that they are making a conscious choice to lend themselves to be a tool of satan and his demonic purposes?
I wonder…..

Agree with Wafa 100%. But, makes us wonder, what excuse the non-muslim Islamic-terror- deniers raised in the West have , to be so mentally ill then?
Leftism maybe, as many retired psychiatrists have in recent years confirmed this in books.?
Salome says
Islam IS mental illness.
Christianblood says
Salome posted
(Islam IS mental illness) true… and a satanic death cult!
What about the Western authorities who are constantly misrepresenting and hiding the real islamic motives of muslim jihadist killers such as the one above, writing them off as simply ordinary people with some mental issues? Don’t you think since they are constantly hiding the facts and covering for and even in many cases openly enabling the islamic jihadist killers they are even more dangerous than the islamic jihadist killers?
elektra says
It is a well known fact that muslims marry 1st cousins. This has been a tradition for over 1000 years. It has been banned in the west for over 2 centuries. It is a direct cause of mental illness, learning disabilities and other genetic defects. You just need to look at European royalty to see how this problem manifests. The Pharaonic dynasty was doomed because of inbreeding. Could islamic jihad be the result of genetic mutation? You decide.
TheDane says
Was thinking the exact same thing. It is the same. Islam is devil-worshipping, and they of course become possessed when they worship the devil. Possession is not recognized in the psychiatric world.
They could get a problem by labelling these moslem terrorists mentally ill, because it follows that islam is the common denominator,and they are thus calling islam a mental illness. When one frequents http://www.thereligionofpeace.com there sure is a lot of ‘mental illness’ worldwide.
Another great article by mr. Spencer, by the way!

The Quran, if its instructions are followed, makes a man appear mentally ill when he is simply obeying orders from the mind of Muhammad.
duh_swami says
Crazy people understand a lot…They just t understand it weird…
Westman says
True and there is much weirdness to understand in Islamic Ideology. It could be a chicken-egg conundrum since Islam creates mentally ill thought and mentally ill thought is attracted to Islam.
It seems likely that the Quran is a successful transfer instrument of irrational thinking.

mortimer says
“Concerning anger, it quickly becomes clear that Muslims in general have a different view on aggression, anger and threatening behaviour than Danes and probably most of our Western world.
For most Westerners, it is an embarrassing sign of weakness if people become angry … Trying to get one’s will by acting aggressively or using threats is seen as immature and our reaction is often to ridicule or simply ignore them. Thus, the shortest way to lose face in our Western culture is to show anger.
It is completely opposite in the Muslim culture. While most of my Danish clients who had problems with anger felt embarrassed about it, none of my Muslim clients ever seemed to understand our view on anger … In Muslim culture, it is expected that one should show anger and threatening behaviour if one is criticized or teased. If a Muslim does not react aggressively when criticized he is seen as weak, not worth trusting and he thus loses social status immediately.” – Nikolai Sennels, PhD, clinical psychologist
linnte says
If “professional people” are qualifying religious violence as illness, that puts all religious people in the category of being mentally ill. THAT is the pattern they are trying to create. It is the unsaid diagnosis of any religious person. A Dangerous and covert way to make devout Christians or any religious person look insane.
Polk1970 says
It doesn’t because all other religions preach peace,except for one.
The Judeo-Christian faiths of Judaism and Christianity have as their symbols the Star of David and The Cross.
That other religion has the Quran above CROSSED SWORDS as it’s symbol
The more religious in that other religion,the more dangerous to Infidels.
And then there are the Buddists,
They’re certainly not warmongers.
Nor are the Hindus,a frequent modern and ancient target of Jihadi violence
The Shintos of Japan haven’t been warlike nor barbarians since 1945
And then of course the Confuscians and the Hare Krishna ,who only invade public spaces singing,dancing,and chanting,but you can be certain they’re not chanting “Death to the Unbeliever”
Frater Saturn 666 says
Hindus are very violent when pushed.
linnte says
My point was, it is the plan to make all religious people look deranged. What a great way to cause all people to be non-individuals. If everyone was the same everywhere there would be no need for strife and controlling the masses becomes a piece of cake. The goal of the New World Order.
Sonja says
Couldn’t agree with you more. This is exactly what they are doing. As soon as there is another islamic terrorist attack, ‘professionals’ either say it has nothing to do with islam or they’ll claim it is ‘religious’ so also not islam specifically. And Muslims also pretend these terrorists have nothing to do with islam and love to point to ‘violent’ parts in the bible to show it is all a case of interpretation. In my point of view it is not. The bible (OT) does have some violent texts, nobody will deny that, but not all is commanded by God, some is just a historical description and sometimes it is for one specific time and place. Not like in Qu’ran where it says (commanded by allah) to kill until the Last Day. The whole idea of dividing the world in the house of islam and the house of war is insane in iself. But most people have no clue about these things.
Kepha says
linnte, I think you’re right.
I’m old enough to recall when the term “Islamic fundamentalism” was coined. It was back during the Iranian Revolution, and meant by the Leftist media people who coined it that the Evangelical Christians, who were deserting the Democratic Party of their grandparents in Jimmy Carter’s hour of need were horrible anti-Americans of a stripe similar to the Khomeini-ites.
This is one reason why I think that our secular so-called “humanists” are a weak reed to lean on ifor those of us who are anti-Jihadi. They’re the selfsame people who will run a Christian florist or baker out of business with lawfare for refusing to celebrate a homosexual coupling but who will gingerly tiptoe around Muslim sensibilities. They’re also people who have made Malcolm X into a secular saint and his ghosted otterboggerfee a classic.
linnte says
It is kind of a scary thought to me. Especially since I am a new Christian. But time will tell. It was “hip” to be a Pagan, but absolutely NOT OK to be a Christian in my old circle of liberal friends!
wtd says
At first I was going to email this link to Robert for consideration, but this thread seems just as apropos for sharing with his readership:
VladTepesblog has a video posted of an extended and extraordinary interview by Saron of Akkad with the politically (shariah compliant) persecuted “Tommy Robinson” during which Tommy reveals the evolution of his exposure to Islam in Luton, England.
It’s an exceptionally revealing interview in which Tommy highlights personally experienced moments which mirror examples of shariah enforcement through the ages as described by Dr. Andrew Bostom’s “Legacy..” series of books. He expands on the failures of the police to address various sexual grooming gangs as not isolated failures. Rather, the police uniformly turned a blind eye to every intolerance of the native population including racism, extremism (remember the Hook handed imam preaching openly)where the locals just came to accept that this intolerance was the way it was going to remain.
As just one example …ff: 17:32
The entire interview is 1:36:28 in length…MUST WATCH but infuriating revelations!!
linnte says
No link! I love Tommy! Please supply the link or the name of the video so I can look it up. Thanks!

Also notable: Tommy remains OFF of the voter roles in England for security purposes, despite his political activity, he cannot vote if he wants to physically protect those closest to him. Insane injustice against one of the bravest men confronting the danger of Islam today!

mortimer says
“The fact that most Muslims do not actually develop the full Islamic disease is not an assurance to the rest of the society, because those people already harbor the ‘virus’ in their minds and things can get nasty any time. There is no shortage of cases where the perpetrators of terrorism were described to have been “perfectly nice people” in the past.” – Mumin Salih, ex-Muslim, writer
Jerry says
So true, and even if muslims who have the “virus” aren’t killing they are too often aiding those who are with financial and “moral” support. The simple fact that “moderates” keep islamic ideology alive as mainstream religious belief is a form of aid to the terrorists. Moderates are like a swarm of bees, one can’t kill ya, but collectively they can get the job done. The combined effect they will have on our neighborhoods, politics, education, and freedoms, will be far, FAR, worse than what most muslims could accomplish through terror. And then there’s the threat that you mention on top of it, the fact that many muslims now peaceful will turn violent if given the chance. It’s reasonable to suppose that muslims will continue to employ terror because it produces results. They have already intimidated many of our politicians, media, and public into self-censorship and appeasement out of fear of reprisal. Violence is working for muslims and people tend to use what works. Moderates are more dangerous than terrorists, their methods are far more pervasive and effective in effecting lasting change. A thousand terrorists couldn’t destroy our nation and culture if moderate muslims were for us more than islam. But they aren’t, and that’s why I see them as the larger threat.
Jerry says
If the muslims that commit these crimes are mentally ill then what does that say about islam, it teaches this violence as a religious devotion:
…strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.
…slay the idolaters wherever you find them…
…fight the leaders of unbelief…
strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them
…fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah…
This mental illness excuse is to divert away from the ideological underpinnings that cause this violence. One could say this about any manifestation of an evil doctrine, it’s a mental illness!
Unfortunately it does nothing to address the islamic faith’s role in provoking such violence. We all know the power of commercials to propagandize our minds and affect our behavior. Nobody calls my preference for Nike over other shoes a “mental illness,” so why is islam’s detrimental effects granted immunity by declaring those that follow its violent dictums to be a mental illness?
Doesn’t make sense.
No, the real mental illness here is with those that declare islam a religion of peace when it teaches bigotry and murder for the worst possible reasons.
Charli Main says
Somewhat OFF Topic
A group of Islamic State terrorists armed with AK-47s attacked the headquarters of a Real Madrid supporters club killing 14 people.
Information on the incident in Samarra in Baghdad, Iraq, is just emerging.
A further 28 people were injured in the gathering of around 50 people during the terrorist attack at the centre.
Gruesome scenes have started to emerge on social media that illustrate the aftermath of the bloodbath.
Bullet holes can be seen littering a room full of armchairs with an upturned chair in the centre – and blood smeared all over the floor with a trail leading out of what appears to be a main meeting room.
Another outbreak of Global Mental Illness AKA ISLAMO-RABIES.
Jan Aage Jeppesen says
“What could account for this global outbreak of mental illness that always manifests itself in similar ways? Authorities should start asking themselves why so many mentally ill people embrace Islamic jihad violence. This sort of thing happens so often that the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders should consider adding “Islamic jihad” as a mental illness to its next edition.” (Robert Spencer).
Mr. Spencer is not the first person to observe a causal link between religion, mental illness and extreme violence. The ancient Greeks called any psychic disturbance for “hiera nosos”. They were talking about holy illness. To them religious fanaticism and excitement was the original form of any mental illness. Religion, in the vicinity of which the demonical, the crime and madness are located, contain in its nature impulses and seeds to the most gruesome distortions and excesses. To the honor of the Gods more blood has been spilled than for any other purpose. As irresistible as religion only one force can take control of a human being – Eros. Both are characterized as being able to bring humans into a transcendent state of ultimate happiness and joy.
You could say that it is most ingenious of the creators of Islam to combine the religious desire with the erotic desire and make both transcendent desires holy. The virgins of heaven, as reward for the holy warriors who kill and are killed for God is a brilliant concept, and a very powerful motivation. For a Christian it is a perversity or blasphemy to talk about God and sex in the same sentence.
Last year here on JW the Danish psychologist Nicolai Sennels wrote an article about this subject worth quoting from:
“ … Having worked with criminal Muslims (see my article: “Report from the therapy room: Why are Muslims more violent and criminal?”) and done extensive psychological analysis of Islam’s texts for years, my take is that the enormous amounts of hate speech in the Quran (Allah’s revelations through the angel Gabriel to Muhammad) and the Hadiths (Muhammad’s equally holy words and deeds) function as propaganda that makes the psychological step to follow these same books’ hundreds of orders for Muslims to kill non-Muslims shorter and easier – no matter if you are sane, rich and have a happy family, or not.
I would not be surprised if it turns out that people with psychiatric diagnoses are over-represented among criminal Muslims. There may be several reasons for this. One is that inbreeding – which is known for increasing the risk of schizophrenia and other psychiatric problems, which again increase the likelihood of violent behavior – is exceedingly widespread among the followers of Islam (up to almost half of Muslims may be inbred) (see my article: Muslim Inbreeding: Impacts on intelligence, sanity, health and society). It can also be because violence is more accepted in upbringing in Muslim families – which is also known for increasing risk of psychiatric disorders and violent behavior. Finally, it may be that the Quran is more likely to inspire people who are crazy and prone to violence, while sane people might reject these books as outdated and barbaric.
The fact is that there are also people from other religions who have mental problems, who are poor or have problems in the family, but none of them (or at least many, many fewer – as in 1:1000) commit mass murder in the name of religion. If the latest wave of “mentally ill” terrorists had not been brought up with a religion that preached death and annihilation of non-believers, would they have committed their atrocities? I believe not.
The problem is not insanity, poverty or family problems. The problem is a religion that preaches hate against people of all other faiths and orders its own followers to kill us. People with psycho-social problems who have been fed this religion since birth may be more vulnerable to act according to its God and prophet, but the root cause – the match that lit the fire, the cause without which these people would never have been told that killing is a good thing – is still the religion.”
Jessica Stern, the author of “Terror in the name of God” reflected over the puzzlement that initially strikes almost everyone encountering Islamist terrorism until they come to understand its ideology as a pseudo religion rather than as a political movement. She writes:
“I have come to see that apocalyptic violence intended to `cleanse` the world of `impurities` can create a transcendent state. All the terrorist groups examined in this book believe – or at least started out believing – that they are creating a more perfect world. From their perspective, they are purifying the world of injustice, cruelty, and all that is anti-human. When I began this project, I could not understand why the killers I met seemed spiritually intoxicated. Now, I think I understand. They seem stat way because they are.”
To me it seems that people in a transcendent state being spiritually intoxicated and violent could and should be classified as suffering from a pathological disorder. As Islam aim to create this pathological disorder to promote Islam, in this case religion is the root cause both to the pathology and the violence.
mccode says
jan,
Your post is well written.
I very much accept the theory that if Mohammed was alive today he would be diagnosed as mentally deranged, perhaps a paranoid psychotic or schizophrenic. The apples haven’t fallen far from the tree.
Jerry says
“…You could say that it is most ingenious of the creators of Islam to combine the religious desire with the erotic desire and make both transcendent desires holy…”
All very interesting, nicely expressed. And by some coincidence I just read today a neat little work of fiction called, “The Case Against Satan,” by Ray Russell. It’s about a little girl possessed of Satan, perhaps. It was written in 1962 before Blatty’s The Exorcist and is a quick, entertaining read. Chapter 4 starts with a quote from a fictional article written by a priest who later does the exorcism on the girl. It’s relevant to your larger point, and it goes like this:
At the supreme moment, at the highest peak, sexual, artistic, and religious ecstasy are surprisingly similiar. It is difficult to tell them a part. It is only in the trappings, in ‘the limbs and outward flourishes,’ in the building up and the dying away, that it is possible to distinguish one from the other. In that split second of ecstasy in which one is ripped off the earth and flung into the Eternal, the lover, the artist and the religieuse all feel much the same thing. They are akin for that instant. They are one…”
I have no big point here. I was only struck by the pertinence of that viewpoint with what you said. It seems plausible to me that muslims who commit crimes for allah are living an ecstasy similar to that of sex or creative expression. Islam gives them the chance to live out their sick and sinful desires with their god’s blessing and expect to be rewarded for doing it! Islam condones slavery and religious murder, it condones child rape in marriage, if one is an immoral pig or power hungry then islam is a tailored fit. I’m no psychiatrist, so I can’t say if these muslims are mentally ill or not. But it seems that the big question of sanity is whether or not people who do these sick and murderous acts know they are doing wrong, are they mentally competent? Of course some may be of diminished moral or intellectual capacity. But we know that a great many of these jihadists and sharia-enforcers are highly educated, functional in society, have good jobs, friends, and family with all manner of support. Such intelligence debunks the notion they are insane. This is more a willful choice for evil, very much the same as serial killers that get the death penalty.
But the punch line here for me, even if some jihadists are mentally ill islam is still culpable. A religion that promotes murder and other crimes will always be party to the crime, there is no defense in pointing out the mental deficiencies of those that do their bidding.

This is not what Robert Spencer is saying here at all–and I doubt you think that he is.
He is talking about how the Islamic basis of Jihad terror is so often ignored in the West, and this violence is falsely chalked up to run of the mill mental illness. Odd that so many pious Muslims just happen to have ‘mental health issues’.

I guess every human that’s been serving in jail on charges of rape, murder and terrorism of any colour creed or belief is entitled to be released then. Based on the claim of ‘mental illness’. They’ll be sueing the state for unfair sentencing soon.
Gives the natives something to build their defense case on though. When the civil war breaks out, natives can claim they suffered from ‘islamophobia’ so they can’t be tried murder 🙂

In 2002 a German Court described the tension Muslim girls have to go through in fundamental families as circumstances comparable to a phsychotic state. The girl suited the school because she only wanted to attend the class tour with a personal male Muslim caretaker.
Nonetheless, Islam is still the best and most peaceful “Religion” you can belong to, isn´t is?
Annak says
Robert’s sarcasm is always hilarious.
Here in Europe Muslim criminal fanatics are often described as ‘ confused’
There is one defining factor all these ‘mentally ill ‘ people share, and that is some form of Islam. But why let such an insignificant detail get in the way of PC diagnosis?
Now hypothetically, had all terrorists world-wide been Jews or Christians screaming ‘Yahweh is greater’ or ” Jesus is Lord!’ ” unbelievers must die ” or “we will behead you all for our God”etc etc.Jews and Christians would be tarred with the same brush, called religious fanatics and the Bible eventually banned as dangerous.No mental illness to be found in their fanaticism.
Hmmmm.. they already are, called ‘plotters’, ‘ behind all evil’ ( Jews) and Christians :religious fundamental fanatics,vile Crusaders, homophobes, racists, all sorts even WITHOUT terrorising everywhere !

But, of course, THEY will say: GLOBAL WARMING! “Global warming” caused it all. You see, if not because of it, brains of Mohammedans will not become so hot nowadays, bringing them false ideas that their religion, Islam, has anything to do with… Islam. Global warming causes their brains boiling with similar “false” ideas. Perhaps soon, when it become particularly warm, globally – mean you, the new prophet Mohammed will see his Archangel Gabriel again and we will all witness even more crazier examples of mass mental illnesses. Hence: Beware of global WORMING in brains!

Of course, they’re all mentally ill. How could it be otherwise when they really believe that 72 virgins and slave girls wait for them in Paradise if they blow up/stab/shoot/behead/stone to death non-believers? That’s as delusional as it gets.

Yes, Islam is a Mental Illness! Anyone who has a clear head will never follow anyone of those ~ Base, cruel, ungodly activities nor life styles! Even animals know better! Satan runs that theocratic religious culture. Not God our Heavenly Father! Our Heavenly will never allows anyone to willfully Violets any of the Ten Commandments and, then, rewards the souls of those offenders with Virgins…. Our God is a Holy and Mighty Being! He will never violate HIS OWN WORD! His word is LIFE!

Clearly Islamic values are contributing to widespread mental illnesses. To prevent an epidemic of violence I suggest that all Muslims who fail to pass tests on logic, respect and tolerance should be immediately quarantined away from civilians. Also that the institutions responsible for promoting beliefs that have led to this epidemic should me closely monitored and a punitive financial burden placed upon them to pay for the mental health care now found necessary for this epidemic. Potentially this epidemic could reach very high numbers. Creating institutions for the care of these unfortunates in remote locations such as Siberia, Antarctica and the Sahara desert is strongly advised. Sexual and violent crimes seem to be major attributes to this epidemic. It would be advised that the feet, hands, genitals and teeth of the affected need to be kept confined and unusable to prevent injury to themselves or to others. lockable boxes to contain these body parts is strongly advised if they are to be encountering any other sentient life forms before their affliction is properly treated.

involving your self in evil doings will make you insane as mentioned in the bible. courting evil brings demons to your doorstep and onto your life. Jesus mentioned this many times when he was confronted by satan.
