Here is a variant on the frequently recurring phenomenon of the global outbreak of mental illness. Instead of jihad violence being dismissed as “mental illness” in an attempt to deflect attention away from its ideological roots within Islamic texts and teachings, in this case jihad violence is classified as itself a form of mental illness, under the rubric of “religious delusions.”
Here are the religious delusions this chap is likely suffering from: the Jews in the Qur’an are called the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); they love to listen to lies (5:41); they disobey Allah and never observe his commands (5:13). They are disputing and quarreling (2:247); hiding the truth and misleading people (3:78); staging rebellion against the prophets and rejecting their guidance (2:55); being hypocritical (2:14, 2:44); giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad (2:87); wishing evil for people and trying to mislead them (2:109); feeling pain when others are happy or fortunate (3:120); being arrogant about their being Allah’s beloved people (5:18); devouring people’s wealth by subterfuge (4:161); slandering the true religion and being cursed by Allah (4:46); killing the prophets (2:61); being merciless and heartless (2:74); never keeping their promises or fulfilling their words (2:100); being unrestrained in committing sins (5:79); being cowardly (59:13-14); being miserly (4:53); being transformed into apes and pigs for breaking the Sabbath (2:63-65; 5:59-60; 7:166); and more. They are under Allah’s curse (9:30), and Muslims should wage war against them and subjugate them under Islamic hegemony (9:29).
That’s what German authorities are now classifying as mental illness. The implications are fascinating, but those authorities will, of course, leave them unexplored.
“Attacker of Jewish student in Hamburg sent to psychiatric hospital,” by Elad Benari, Arutz Sheva, February 26, 2021 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A German court on Friday ordered a man who attacked a Jewish student in Hamburg this past October to be sent to a psychiatric hospital, The Associated Press reported.
The Hamburg district court said the attacker, a 29-year-old German man of Kazakh origin who was not further identified, was mentally ill and suffering from religious delusions and therefore could not be held legally accountable for the attack.
He had been charged with attempted manslaughter and dangerous bodily harm.
The suspect hit the Jewish university student on his head in front of a Hamburg synagogue during the holiday of Sukkot. The student was admitted to a hospital with severe injuries but survived the attack.
German investigators later said they were probing the attack as attempted murder with anti-Semitic intent. At the time, they said the suspect was dressed in combat fatigues and had a piece of paper with a hand drawn swastika in his pocket.
Judge Birgit Woitas said in Friday’s ruling that it while it was clear “this was a targeted attack on a Jew,” the attacker was a “mentally ill person who acted on his own.”…

Good news for white supremists – they now only have racial delusions

The Afghan who slaughtered a mother in front of her children just outside a supermarket in Prien, Germany, was at first sent to a psychiatric institution. He had exacted the Sharia penalty – death – for leaving Islam. The victim was known to him from Afghanistan, and he had tracked her to Germany.

Evidently the judge in this case needs to begin her Learning Curve on Sharia. The accused may not be the only one with delusions about religion.

Quite there again too. Islam is a major religious delusion. Unfortunately psychiatry will not help.

Germany: Muslim migrant who attacked Jewish man sent to psychiatric hospital with ‘religious delusions’
………….
Never mind that those “religious delusions” are orthodox Islam.
Michael Copeland says
German judges may have similar delusions about Islam as English judges.
Killing kafirs is a “betrayal of Islam” ……..Judge Sweeney
“The Koran is a book of peace”. ………….Judge Haddon-Cave
“You have violated the Quran and Islam with your actions”…ditto
The legal establishment have yet to begin their Learning Curve.

Even if those judges learned the truth about Islam, how many of them would be willing to act on it without being called racists and Islamophobes? Then, promptly thereafter, get ‘cancelled’ and have death threats made against them and their family? By the time those idiots realize what is truly going on, they’ll be too weak to oppose it.
