Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

The Troubling Influence of the ‘Jihadist Psychopath’

Jan 18, 2019 5:10 am By Jamie Glazov

[Jamie Glazov will be speaking at Beverly Hills Hotel on Feb. 6 about his new book: Jihadist Psychopath: How He Is Charming, Seducing, and Devouring Us. Register HERE. Order the book HERE.] 

The review below is written by Diane Bederman and is reprinted from Jewish News Syndicate.

Why are the views of radical Islam accepted by Western left-wing audiences? Jamie Glazov answers that question in his riveting new book, Jihadist Psychopath: How He Is Charming, Seducing, and Devouring Us.

What has happened to the West—to the values of freedom and equality for all—questioning our moral values to the point that we have come to accept the delectable lie that Islam is a religion of peace? We witness Islamic terror, but choose to believe what we are told: It isn’t Islam. Islam is a religion of peace. If Islam is such a peaceful religion, why must we be reminded of it over and over again?

Glazov explains this “insanity”—this desire to believe what is factually untrue. He takes us on a journey through the lens of psychology and the mental condition known as “psychopathy.” He begins in the Garden of Eden with the Serpent, the original psychopath, who beguiles Eve with his pretense of good will.

May I suggest that Glazov’s “psychopathy” explanation regarding the acceptance of radical Islam is the same psychopathy that traps those who accept the idea that Israel is a pariah state.

Let me explain this term: psychopathy. One of my professors explained the “good and bad” of psychopathy. Like all “conditions,” it runs on a continuum. At one end is someone who has little empathy for others, though particularly harmful; someone who doesn’t worry about hurting feelings, most probably because he has few. And as a CEO, this person would be a great. He focuses on his end game. Then there is the other end of the continuum. And I have no doubt that most of you, if not all, have experienced the machinations of a psychopath in a relationship (or know someone who has).

In that relationship, there is one partner who always takes the blame for anything negative. She knows if only she had said this and not that, or done that and not this, then everything would be fine. She comes to believe that everything bad is her fault, never his. That she is the victimizer and not the victim is the goal of a true psychopath. That she takes on the role of victimizer, voluntarily, is the indication of a great psychopath.

Glazov takes this example into the world. We, the recipients of the Judeo/Christian ethic that calls on us to treat all people with equal respect, that all life is sacred, and that we have free will to make those choices are apologizing for our values in order to accommodate and include a value system that is diametrically opposed to ours, despite the statements made by world leaders. Islam is not compatible with the West. Here we are turning ourselves into the victimizers of 1.8 billion Muslims who remind us after every terror attack that Islam is a religion of peace, and that we must be careful not to allow ourselves to attack Muslims in any way. It’s not their fault that there are Islamic terrorists. It is ours. We, the West, are the oppressors. This is psychopathy at work.

Glazov shows us different faces of submission. He provides a litany of experts in psychopathy and a similar number of examples of jihadist psychopathic behaviors. He shares the stories of those who have had the courage to stand up to Islamic terrorism, and how in return, these people have been ostracized by those who should thank them for their courage to speak. Most impressive and important to me is Glazov’s revelations about former President Barack Obama; how he singlehandedly attempted to transform the nation’s perception of radical Islam from a terrorist ideology to a religion of peace by removing all references to Islamic terrorism in all government communications. He was not the first president to declare Islam a religion of peace. Former President George W. Bush introduced the term following 9/11. But Obama brought people into his administration who diligently promoted awareness of Islamophobia, which is universally defined as the irrational fear of Islam. If fear of Islam is irrational, then those who question it must also be irrational. However, the notion of a post-9/11 backlash against Muslims was a myth. The result of the obsession with Islamophobia is the silencing of dissenters.

Glazov is reaching out to the millions of people who have come to believe that Islam is not the problem; we are. I suggest that many readers will see themselves in this book, having fallen victim to the declarations of the psychopathic jihadists. And once you do—once you realize how you have been tricked into believing that Islam is the religion of peace—you will no longer be frightened into silence. You will develop the courage needed to stand up and say, “Enough.” You will act to protect and defend Western civilization described by the late George Jonas as “the best and most humane form of civilization developed by mankind,” and that we must not let it “perish by default.”

    looking forward to finally being able to read the book. i don’t expect my views to be changed, since i already share dr. glazov’s beliefs about islam, but it’s *always* good to have a few good sources of information to which one can refer.

    “May I suggest that Glazov’s “psychopathy” explanation regarding the acceptance of radical Islam is the same psychopathy that traps those who accept the idea that Israel is a pariah state.”

    The use of the adjective radical is unhelpful as Islam is, at base, radical. A better term is fundamentalist. The use of the term radical suggests that there is a benign Islam. There is no such thing. Islam is a totalitarian conquest ideology which will always be at war with non-Muslims and the use of a term like radical to describe Islam is obfuscation which leads to confused thinking. Islam is evil. Hating evil is virtuous.

    “Most impressive and important to me is Glazov’s revelations about former President Barack Obama; how he singlehandedly attempted to transform the nation’s perception of radical Islam from a terrorist ideology to a religion of peace by removing all references to Islamic terrorism in all government communications.”

    This is hardly a revelation, but in any event Obama has succeeded as is demonstrated by the mandatory use of the term radical even before wholly legitimate criticisms of Islam.

    Indeed everyone loves a winner, but that statement would have real meaning if one substituted lost for won.

    It had been exposed in the new book by Jamie Glazov which had the title JIHADIST PSYCHOPATH , for on pages 38,39 the reader is informed about the subversion of the United States of America by reckless unchecked mass immigration that “By importing so many masses of people who hate America and seek to destroy its way of life, the Left succeeds in severely damaging the United State and making it more vulnerable to attack This explains why President Obama worked so hard to flood the US with Muslim refugees and why the Left is now fighting Trump’s efforts to protect America from refugees who hail from terror –infested nations.”

    In addition it might be of interest to a few people that during the summer month of August in the year of 2010 I had attended a lecture in a church about the subject of Islam. The guest speaker was a man who in times past was a Muslim and a Hezbollah member as well as an Iranian citizen. Now he’s Christian and an American citizen. After the lecture, during the question and answer part, he was asked “Is Obama a Muslim?” The speaker replied that “I don’t know if he is a Muslim but his deception is Islamic.” Then he added about Obama “Whenever he talks he sounds just like a Muslim.” Moreover the guest speaker further said about Obama “He is going to hurt this country.” As just keyboarded above that lecture was hold in the year 2010 and since then Obama had ,indeed, hurt America by and through his words , actions , politics and polices .

    Jamie Glazov in his book the JIHADIST PSYCHOPATH when he wrote about how the pro-Islamic Left Wing has much power and influence even in and on sites Twitter and Facebook. This has been further confirmed ,as of just now, as on the time of 1:09 on the date of 1/18/19 For ever day for the last week of more I have signed in of Twitter and posted two plugs for the sites jihadwatch.org and the Christian site answering-islam.org .

    Now at this time /date just keyboarded Twitter had now reject me from the use of Its Twitter site .
    Twitter must not like and even dislikes those two sites and the idea’s those two sites stand for .

    Therefore, Mr Gazaov with his book must have a very good and valid point in the things he had said and also in what he wrote

    It’s an interesting review of Jamie Glazov’s book. I have seen a few reports about the book here at Jihad Watch and I’ve been intrigued by the book’s cover where it says the Jihad Psychopaths are “charming, seducing and devouring us”. I think, what the hell is he talking about? Charming! Seducing! I’m not charmed by anything about evil, barbaric Islam. Nothing about islam charms me and nothing about it seduces me. The crap about how it’s peaceful and it’s somehow the western world’s fault is unadulterated BS to me. I don’t think the awake and aware people here at Jihad Watch buy any of the rubbish that Islam tries to feed us. I do agree that many people in the western world do (for some reason that I can’t follow) buy the rubbish that the western world has upset Muslims and that we deserve some of the hatred and violence from Islam. I guess Jamie’s book is aimed at trying to wake up those self-loathing people . I hope those types of people read it and wake up. I haven’t read much of Douglas Murray’s “The Strange Death of Europe” yet, but I got it out of the library and a review on the back cover from the Literary Review says,”Murray is at his strongest when lampooning the neurotic guilt of Western liberal elites”. There’s certainly a lot of that western self-loathing among leftie types. I agree with the statement( in the review above) from George Jonas that the western civilisation is the best ever. Nothing human is anywhere near perfect, but, compared to Islam’s totally evil barbarism, our civilisation is fantastic. It probably makes us a soft touch though. Maybe that’s the bad side of being decent and civilised when it comes to trying to deal with barbaric Islam. I hope Jamie’s book wins over the fools who buy the lies from Islam’s apologists.

      Indeed, the quran is from the first page no charming. Muhammad was a rapist, murderer liar criminal ect. Some verses in the Qur’an are peaceful, but they are surpassed by psychological intimidation / terror

      • tim gallagher says

        Jan 19, 2019 at 5:55 pm

        Yes, ron. I was struck by the strange use of the word “charming” when talking about Islam. Where’s the charming bit? The underage girls married off, the honour killings, etc. I guess there are peaceful verses in the Koran, but I bet they only apply to Muslims. As a non-Muslim, there’s nothing but evil in Islam. Islam is full of hatred for non-Muslims and calls to kill non-believers, etc. There’s certainly nothing charming in it

          Muslims engaged in “love Jihad” are often “charming”–in an oily and transparent way, of course.

        • tim gallagher says

          Jan 19, 2019 at 9:22 pm

          Yes that’s true, gravenimage. I hadn’t thought of that angle at all. This slimy thing of Muslims pretending to be in love with non-Muslim women, usually so they can stay in some non-Muslim country, or maybe it is to gain a new recruit for Islam by getting the woman involved to become a Muslim ( and then there’s breeding of new Muslims for their fight against the infidels) seems to happen a lot. Usually, later on, we then hear about what a nasty, violent, wife beating bastard the Muslim male turns into. In fact, he’s being a typical Muslim husband and father. Of course, I find it hard to believe there is what we would call love in Islam at all, but I guess calling it “love Jihad” (sarcastically I’m sure) is a good description of this phenomenon. In Islam, I think the men think only in terms of possession and control of women ( and their daughters, who are just objects to marry off).

          Jan 19, 2019 at 9:34 pm

          True, Tim.

          And I have seen Muslims be superficially “charming” in other contexts as well, such as telling us how much they “love Jesus” or how Islam is a “religion of peace”.

          I’ve always found this sort of thing completely transparent, though–but I guess this is what some people really want to hear, so they swallow it no matter how implausible.

    The only problem with a book like this, is that it will probably only be read by people who already know the awful truth. Let us just hope the truth gets heard before it is throttled out of existence. We need to pull out all of the stops!
    We are being sold down the river by too many zombies, who are hypnotized by Islam. This is a war that we cannot afford to lose.
    We are just like a herd of Wildebeest. One gets picked off here, another there, but the rest keep munching contentedly.

    • tim gallagher says

      Jan 19, 2019 at 6:03 pm

      I was thinking the same thing, Dave. The people who should read the book, and who might be woken up by it, almost certainly won’t read it. Then again, I have made my mind up very strongly over the years when it comes to islam and I wouldn’t waste my time reading or listening to anyone trying to say nice things about barbaric islam. Life’s too short to waste time on their idiotic thoughts. I like your images of “zombies hypnotised by Islam” and also of how too many of us like a bunch of wildebeest munching away without a clue.
