Insane Muslim Terrorists

A Muslim terrorist stabbed four people at a train
station near Munich while screaming, “Allahu Akbar”.
In between proclaiming the glory of Allah, he also
shouted that his victims were all “unbelievers”. A
woman heard him say, “Infidel, you must die”.
The
German authorities came to the inescapable
conclusion that the attack had nothing to do with
Islam. Instead the stabber had been “mentally ill”
and was probably not even fit to stand trial. The
Koran wasn’t to blame. It was the fault of his
psychological problems.
This isn’t surprising. It’s a well known fact that
there is no such thing as Islamic terrorism. Instead
there are just a lot of people out there, of Muslim
origin, suffering from a unique set of psychological
problems that cause them to shout Allahu Akbar while
trying to kill people who aren’t Muslims.
This should not however be attributed to the
notoriously peaceful religion of peace.
Just last week the FBI busted James Muhammad who had
been plotting to shoot up a Florida synagogue for
the “glory of Allah”. Muhammad explained that he
wanted to murder the men, women and children praying
at the synagogue because, “I have a lot of love for
Allah”.
Not only did this minor story receive only a
fraction of the attention devoted to the truly
important news that a Muslim teenage girl had Isis
written in her High School yearbook, but Muhammad’s
lawyer insisted at a bail hearing that he isn’t a
terrorist, just suffering from mental problems.
Much like Ahmed Ferhani, who plotted to bomb a New
York synagogue a few years ago to, in his own words,
“send a message of intimidation and coercion to the
Jewish population of New York City." Ferhani however
wasn’t just a racist terrorist, he’s also a cause
célèbre for The Nation which five years later
continues to advocate on behalf of an aspiring
anti-Semitic mass murderer. The latest report from
the left-wing magazine breathlessly informs readers
that prison guards are being mean to poor Ahmed and
that he never really meant to kill any Jews, but was
entrapped due to his “psychiatric problems”.
Muhammad and Ferhani join Shahawar Matin Siraj who
was convicted of plotting to bomb the Herald Square
subway station in New York. Siraj was an illegal
alien who worked at a Muslim bookstore and boasted,
“I want at least 1,000 to 2,000 to die in one day.”
His family and defenders claimed he had a low IQ.
His co-defendant, James Elshafay, suffered from, you
guessed it, psychological problems.
Matthew Aaron Llaneza converted to Islam and tried
to blow up a bank in Oakland. His defenders blamed
mental problems. Muslim ISIS supporter Emanuel
Lutchman plotted a machete attack in Rochester last
year. Despite his contacts with ISIS, the culprit
once again was mental illness.
Sami Osmakac plotted to bomb Florida nightclubs. He
recorded a “martyrdom” video issuing a call to
“Muslims worldwide” to carry out terrorist attacks
and avenge Osama bin Laden. He declared that the
toenail of a sinning Muslim is worth more than all
the non-Muslims in the world put together.
You’ll probably be surprised to hear that his lawyer
blamed “mental illness” and claimed that his client
had been “entrapped”. As has every Muslim terrorist
ever for 1,400 years since Mohammed.
Mansour Arbabsiar was dispatched by Iran’s
Revolutionary Guard to kill the Saudi ambassador in
Washington. His defense claimed that he was bipolar.
His lawyer insisted that the fact that he had
confessed to everything proved that he was mentally
ill because his illness, “led him to believe that he
could convince the agents to see things his way”.
Him and every other criminal out there.
Even when Muslim terrorists don’t claim mental
illness, the media is happy to plead it for them.
When Nidal Malik Hasan murdered 13 Americans in the
Fort Hood Massacre, Time and the New York Times
suggested that he had somehow contracted PTSD from
treating soldiers. In fact Hasan was a Muslim
terrorist. No media outlet would stop claiming that
he had PTSD long enough to read his letters in which
he explained that he was a Jihadist, supported ISIS
and killed American soldiers “for the greater cause
of helping my Muslim brothers” and defending the
“Islamic Empire”.
The defense for the surviving Tsarnaev terrorist who
had carried out the Boston Marathon bombing went one
better by blaming the “severe psychiatric disorders”
of his parents. The Boston Globe, had interviewed
psychologists to determine what possible “mental
health conditions” he might have had.
Any mental condition will do when it comes to Muslim
terrorists.
And the media never leaves any exculpatory stone
unturned when it comes to finding a crazy excuse for
a Muslim terrorist. The Los Angeles Times tried to
find excuses for Syed Rizwan Farook, the San
Bernardino Muslim killer, by claiming that he had
grown up in a home “racked by mental illness”.
If a Muslim terrorist isn’t actually mentally ill,
maybe one of his relatives was mentally ill. Or
maybe, like Hasan, he once met someone who was
mentally ill and got PTSD all over himself.
Internationally all Muslim terrorists are also
mentally ill. Zehaf-Bibeau opened fire at the
Canadian Parliament. Terror apologists claimed that
he was mentally ill. In the UK, Muhaydin Mire tried
to behead a man while shouting, “This is for Syria”.
He had ISIS material on his phone and pictures of
the Paris and San Bernardino shootings. His brother
claimed that smoking pot had given him a “mental
problem”. Sydney hostage taker Sheikh Man Haron
Monis, who had become infamous for sending threats
to the families of dead Australian soildiers, had
his actions blamed on “mental instability.”
Michael Adebowale, one of the Jihadists who brutally
beheaded British soldier Lee Rigby on a London
street, also went the mental illness route.
In Russia, Muslim monster Gyulchekhra Bobokulova
beheaded a 4-year-old girl and displayed her head in
the street while shouting, “Allahu Akbar. I hate
democracy. I am a terrorist. I want you dead.” Faced
with these bafflingly inscrutable statements, the
authorities blamed mental illness.
It was the safe thing to do. It always is.
Mental illness requires nothing of us except horror.
Islamic terrorism demands that we do something about
it. And that’s the last thing that the authorities
who helped make this mess want.
German authorities, like their American, Russian,
Europe and Australian counterparts, don’t want to
take on Muslim immigration. It’s much easier to
shove some more money at mental health clinics.
And what is mental illness anyway?
In the West, the conviction that you must kill
people in order to receive 72 virgins in paradise
would be considered a mental illness. In Islam, it’s
a mainstream belief. 89% of Pakistanis believe in
genies. But then again genies are present in Islamic
scripture. 89% of Tunisians believe in witchcraft.
72% of Iraqis believe in the “evil eye”. 1 in 5
Afghanis have witnessed an exorcism. Half of
Pakistanis believe in fairies.
Saudi religious police have a special
Anti-Witchcraft Unit and there are actual witch
trials. Majorities of Muslims don’t believe that
Muslims carried out the 9/11 attacks. 40% of
Pakistanis believe that fathers have a right to kill
their daughters if they engage in premarital sex.
Half of British Muslims think that the Jews are in
league with the Freemasons. A third believes that
Princess Diana was murdered to stop her from
marrying a Muslim.
Ideas and behaviors associated with mental illness
in the West are mainstream in parts of the Muslim
world which exist in a pre-rational medieval
universe brimming with conspiracy theories, paranoid
delusions, lack of personal responsibility, erratic
emotions and an inability to apply reason to
reality.
Western psychiatric benchmarks don’t mean much in
the Muslim world where witchcraft is a major
problem, Jewish conspiracy theories abound and
genies are responsible for psychiatric problems.
Killing your daughter or just non-Muslims in general
is socially approved behavior. The Muslim world has
fundamentally different social norms than we do. And
that means very different concepts of sanity.
Misattributing Muslim terrorism to madness is
convenient, but meaningless. It’s a way for us to
avoid dealing with the difficult questions posed by
Islam. And that avoidance is also a form of
insanity.
