More of the West’s suicidal self-hatred, yet again emanating from academia. One would probably have to be an academic to take this sort of thing seriously. And of course the Daily Mail, the worst paper in the Western world, runs with it eagerly. There are many such studies. Evangelical Christians have published studies saying they’re the happiest, most contented people. I’m sure others have as well. Happiness is a subjective thing and the purpose of such studies is simply to tout the virtues of joining the happy group in question. Would the Daily Mail publish a study claiming to find that Christians or anyone else were the happiest people in the world? Not on your life. But this is the age of pandemic Islamopandering.
“Muslims have the highest life satisfaction: They have a feeling of ‘oneness’ that trumps Christians, Buddhists and yogis, study suggests,” by Natalie Rahhal, Dailymail.com, April 11, 2019:
Muslim people feel the most satisfied with their lives because they feel more ‘oneness,’ or connection than people of other faiths, a new study suggests.
Measuring life satisfaction is about as close to quantifying ‘happiness’ as we’ve been able to get thus far, and a German psychologist’s new study suggests that a feeling of ‘oneness’ predicts overall contentment.
And when the researchers divided their 67,562 survey respondents by religion, Muslims felt the greatest sense of oneness.
Research from a number of disciplines, including religion, philosophy and psychology have suggested that varying types of connectedness lead to an over-arching sense of well-being. …
Researchers at the University of Mannheim in Germany wanted to parse out how oneness affected life satisfaction across religions.
So, they surveyed over 67,000 non-students (using student samples is thought to limit and skew data on feelings of ‘oneness’ and self-reported life satisfaction) of unclear nationalities about their religious affiliations and used crafted questions to assess how connected and fulfilled these adults felt.
Among all groups, Muslims were most likely to believe that they were connected to something larger than themselves, according to the new study, published in the journal of the American Psychological Association.
Second to Muslims, Christians that considered themselves neither Catholics nor Protestants reported the greatest average oneness beliefs, followed by Buddhists and Hindus….

Carol the 1st says
This study is grammatically, mathematically, scientifically, and philosophically specious “smoke and mirrors”. The original article doesn’t even break things down as to how it corresponds to per capita religious affiliation but it does say this:
“A number of studies, including a 2016 Pew Research Center survey, have suggested that people who describe themselves as ‘highly religious’ are more likely to say they are ‘very happy’ with life.
The vast majority (95 percent) of these highly happy Americans were Christians: Protestant, Catholic or Mormon.”
“Very happy” is generally the result of inner cohesion in all kinds of dimensions for thinking people and so a vague new category called “oneness” purporting to relate to some mysterious “spirituality” wouldn’t warrant a change of lifestyle or religion among us I’m sure. Sharia anyone? Wiping out free speech and thought anyone?
Renate says
Muslims are the happiest people alright…when they’re killing infidels. Look at all the terrorist attacks.
lebel says
If you are a scholar than you know that you have to show what is wrong with the methodology rather than question the integrity of the researchers themselves.
Here is the problem. A study seems to show something good about Islam/Muslims….can’t have that!
CogitoErgoSum says
Seems to depend on how you define happiness. Is it based upon “oneness” or “individuality?” Does “diversity” fit into the definition of happiness?

Agree with Ashley: A psychopath is happiest when inflicting harm upon victims.
However, Muslims living in Germany have perhaps the MOST to feel happy about, since they have LEFT BEHIND THE STINKY SHARIA HELLHOLES that they escaped for a modern Christian welfare state that protects freedom of religion and the right not to practice Islam in Germany.

jayell says
“A study seems to show something good about Islam/Muslims….can’t have that!”
The study suggests that they apparently have a greater sense of communal solidarity than most indigenous groups in the West. This is because islam aims to have a comprehensive control of their everyday lives, and they are consequently deterred from thinking independently and are therefore more easily influenced (or even ‘brainwashed’, the excuse being put forward by ISIS brides trying to get back to the West). This, of coures naturally reinforces community cohesion, which might in other circumstances harness people’s energies together to achieve a great deal of good, co-operative enterprise, assuming that each individual in the group is allowed to develop him/herself to their full personal potential. But, sadly, that’s not what islam is about, especially as regards the female of the species, so the upshot is that followers of the ‘faith’ are more likely to be regimented into some loose kind of zombie-ism at the behest of their ‘spiritual leaders’ who will instruct them and make all their decisions for them (as happens in Sharia courts and can clearly be seen happening on islamic websites). That, of course, means that, with comparatively little individual initiative, progress is limited or even virtually non-existent and the whole happy cohesive, unthinking bunch of ‘believers’ get stuck in their Dark Age rut, as can be clearly seen in the somewhat unproductive 1,400 years of islamic history. Also, one has to bear in mind that a strong group dynamic is evident in other less desirable human manifestations such as mobs (e.g. the near-feral soccer supporters in the UK which bear a strong similarity to the violent mobs demonstrating against Ashia Bibi recently in Pakistan – amongst other occasions) and in criminal gangs, including the outrageous muslim rape-gangs that have blighted the UK in recent years.
So this is ‘something good about islam/muslims’ is it, Lebel?
Fred says
Not sure that shows anything good about muslims.
Multiple wives, all of whom he can beat rather than put up with nagging; sex slaves, honor killing with zero consequences; a government reluctant to prosecute for rape; sex with 9 year old girls…if I were so inclined, I’d be happy too.

Chand says
I don’t get it. Are the Muslims then lying?
Personally, I don’t buy these Happiness question and answer sessions. Or Gross Happiness Index and other such nonsense.
How on earth does one believe someone who says he/she is happy? What is the criteria?
Here the criterion seems to be ‘oneness’. With God, I guess. So those with the strongest faiths and beliefs in God are happiest. Muslims could be such a group. What is there to freak out about it?
But as an exercise this still seems dicey. Can happiness be equated with religious faith? As a sceptical atheist, I have my doubts. And lumping various people as Muslims seems problematical too.
But to reject a study just because Muslims came out on top just seems like common prejudice.
Mark Swan says
What exactly do you claim they come out on top with—if anything this so-called study
by a psychologist shows they are content with membership—belonging to something
bigger than themselves—this sense of self adulation is very common in gang membership.
What they could have been poled on was humility, the quality of being modest or respectful to others out side their membership.
This pole used crafted questions to assess how connected and fulfilled those asked felt.
Keeping in mind these are Muslims who were questioned here—how else could the
results of such questioning be slanted.
gravenimage says
This has nothing to do with being happy for having a strong belief in God.
The question about “oneness” is a key tenet of Islamic faith–Tawhid. Non-Muslims don’t usually think in these terms. The study was skewed in its answers to Islam.
jayell says
This report probably reflects the well-documented survey findings that muslims are apparently happier in non-muslim societies. No doubt because of all welfare handouts and the fact that they can offend and rape as much as they like and get away with it.
Tricia Stuercke says
When you are RAISED sitting on a floor, rocking back & forth, chanting the Koran/Quran, & are told/taught WHAT TO THINK & FEEL your entire youth, of course you will believe you’ve reached “peak happiness” & “peak oneness” simply by “minding” & “obeying” what you’ve been immersed in your whole life!
What they refuse to admit to, but is PREVALENT among teen thru middle age Muslim men, is the great “joy” & “oneness” they find outside the Madrasas, with their favorite MALE BONDING activity: GANG RAPE. Oh, the happiness & oneness found in brutally gang-raping toddlers, youth, preteens, teens, young adults, middle-aged & even the elderly & disabled, note either Gender is acceptable in all age categories.
And Shhh!…the extra fun when they have a few drinks & hit the local farm animals! Sure, the animals have to be put down afterwards due to the barbaric internal damage, but Oh, what happiness & oneness!

jarmanray says
Why should they not feel satisfied? The report states, “Second to Muslims, Christians that considered themselves neither Catholics nor Protestants reported the greatest average oneness beliefs, followed by Buddhists and Hindus….” is complete non-sense. My belief in Jesus Christ and a Heavenly Father and their teaching through both the Old and New Testaments helps me to stay focused on what is really important. It, also, assists me in retaining humility (sometimes very difficult) and love for most (I cannot honestly say “all”). Since this joke of a survey was taken in Germany where both Christians and Jews are constantly harassed and forced to pay for the freeloading sub humans, it is not difficult to understand why those who attempted to analyze the results arrived at these conclusions. While one group espouses love for their neighbors, the other one yells death to their neighbors through jihad.

The utopian absolutes of Mo’ and His Allah, the happiness of killing infidels is higher than mere prayer. Drilling down into what is ‘happiness’ what constitutes ‘happiness’ in that population would make a much more interesting study. Scary, but way more interesting.
Of course the prof could never make a study inspecting the dictates of sharia to submit ‘all others’ and it’s effects upon ‘all others’ and upon ‘muslims’.

frankie is on his knees again!
Honestly,At this rate frankie should become a muslim,then he can spend all his time kissing carpets.His false piety would be well suited to islam.
After all,he thinks the muslim god allah{who CURSES Christians k9:30 and denies Christ k4:157}is the same as the christian God and having studied the koran has come to the astonishing conclusion that “authentic islam and a proper reading of the koran is opposed to every form of violence”, an idiotic statement that can only come from somebody who 1)never actually read the koran and 2)doesn’t know what exactly constitutes a “proper reading” of something.
That’s a bit like saying “authentic nazism and a proper reading of hitler’s “mein kampf” is opposed to every form of anti-semitism”
It’s the Great HUMILITY of the man,oh the HUMILITY of the man,see how he is on his knees again…:but seriously, frankie needs to do something about his foot-washing/sniffing fetish.It is disgusting and unbecoming of any pope.

The “oneness” that supposedly means they are happier than the rest of us…comes from the “group think” that their fake prophet, the mass murderer, raper of children, snake of the desert, demanded. None of them are allowed to think for themselves.
Just because a group of people are braindirtied to believe they must lie, hate, steal, rape, mutilate, and kill in order to please their evil fake ‘god’, doesn’t mean that any of them are happy.
And, we can conclude something real from their “study.” All moslims think the same, so none of them can be trusted not to commit acts and crimes of terror. It’s “group think” burned into their minds by islam and its many teachers repeating the commands every week, all over the world.

Muslims may be happy, but they do not seem to be happy in muslim majority countries that they are fleeing. Probably they are happy because the virtue signalling leftists in the West appease them and let them turn their liberal countries into Muslim hell-holes. It reminds me of how happy Hitler and the Nazis were about appeasement. Only it just wetted their appetite for more takeovers and more oppression. I guess Germany was happy when the Jews disappeared too. Now there is the possiblity for Muslims to be happy because the Germans are disappearing too. And happy because the EU is appeasing them.

Here is a fairly standard study of global happiness:
World Happiness Report
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Happiness_Report
The rankings of different reports have slightly different outcomes–sometimes Finland is deemed the happiest country in the world, sometimes Denmark, or Switzerland, or Australia, etc. Certainly, the disparate elements of happiness can be hard to codify.
But broad trends are quite consistent–generally, Western nations are the happiest, authoritarian nations less so, and Islamic or African (or Islamic and African) nations at or near the bottom. Just check out the map that accompanies the article.
Demsci says
Oh, yes, GI, and the study was conducted in Germany. So I firmly believe that played a big role in the happiness of all the surveyed. There are several big determinants of happiness and one of them is good governance by civil servants and another autonomy of the individual, and of course prosperity. All of these are provided much more by Western Democratic countries than by Islamic countries.
Demsci says
I meant the study in the article
Demsci says
And so what if this one determinant of happiness is a “sense of oneness” and yes, this is a redeeming factor of Islam?
That still does not make Islam unique, this “sense of oneness” can be provided by other religions, maybe ideologies, associations. We don;t need Islam for it.
Allah still failed to give us something uniquely positive. For Allah to succeed, HE must procure a WINNING religion, in the sense of winning in procuring the best possible effective religion. it is no use if Allah only provides just another religion, so low in performance as Islam is, so NOT unique. And Allah never did get around to judgement day and never since MOhammed did improve Islam one iota. So attributing Islam to Allah is having a very low opinion of Allah.
Islam is pre-democratic (for modern democracy) and democracy really is anti-Islamic and an approvement upon Islamic society. And Islam is a danger to democracy and we democratic people want Muslims to become ex-Muslims.
But what we should not do is underestimate Islam. So what if it produces partial happiness through “sense of oneness”?! That then explains partly Islam’s success in past and present and it is no good to deny it. It explains partially why Muslims so cling to Islam, OK.
But Islam STILL is only a CULT, with an abominable founder. Manifestly, historically demonstrably untrue, and not much truer than “the lord of the rings”.
Even if it initially brought something good like this “sense of oneness”, It is now obsolete. Otherwise it has nothing unique good to offer to mankind in the 21st century. Rather Islam is blocking so much progress and other determinants of happiness.
