Islam is a Grand Delusion

by: Amil Imani

“We are our beliefs,” it is said. Beliefs steer people in life. Some beliefs are harmless, some are the motive force for good, and yet others are delusional, misguided, and even outright dangerous. Every version of the belief called “Islam” ranges from the delusional to the dangerous.

Islam is a Grand Delusion, birthed by Muhammad’s hallucination that he relayed to his first wife and employer, Khadija. Greatly frightened, he told Khadija that he was visited by jinn (devil) in the Hira cave. Khadija comforted the distraught man by assuring him that the episode was Allah’s way of choosing him as his messenger. Muhammad believed his rich wife-employer who was 15 years his senior and the delusion became a belief—Islam.

Remarkably enough, under the early tutelage of Khadija, Muhammad succeeded in attracting a number of influential followers. Before long, the movement gathered more and more power through violent campaigns and the faith was taken to new people and alien lands. This grand delusion, Islam, presently has in its stranglehold over a billion humans, posing an existential threat to all non-Muslims.

Islam is rooted in the primitive tribal mentality of “We against Them,” “We the righteous against the heathens,” “We the servants submissive of the Great Allah against the rebellious enemies of Allah.” Islam is a polarizer. Islam is an enemy-maker. To Islam, a non-Muslim is a combatant against Allah and he is fair game to be subjugated and killed.

When some billion and a half adhere to the pathological belief of Islam and use it as their marching order of life, the rest of humanity can ignore the threat only at its own peril.

Once again, a resurgent Islam is on a campaign of conquest throughout the world. Hordes of life-in-hand foot-solider fanatical Muslims are striving to kill and get killed. All they want is the opportunity to discharge their homicidal-suicidal impulse, on their way to Allah’s promised glorious paradise. And in the background granting the foot-soldiers’ wishes are their handlers, the puppeteers, who pull the strings and detonate these human bombs. Those who cherish life must recognize these emissaries of death, what makes them, what motivates them, and how best to defend against them.

The campaign of death waged by the Islamist-jihadist, be he a puppet or a puppeteer, is energized by the belief of delectable rewards that await the faithful implementer of Allah’s dictates. Through a highly effective indoctrination, the jihadist has come to believe firmly in Islam’s grand delusion. He believes that Allah is the one and only supreme creator of earth and heavens; that it is his duty and privilege to abide by Allah’s will and carry out his plans at all costs; he believes firmly in a gloriously wonderful immortal afterlife in paradise, for which a martyr’s death is the surest quickest admission. Although the dominating theme of the delusion is quasi spiritual, the promised rewards of the afterlife awaiting the martyr are sensual and material. All the things and activities that the jihadist desires and cannot attain or practice, and rejects in his earthly life will be purified and proffered to him in the paradise of the next life. Thus goes the delusion.

It is important to understand that the human mind is not a perfect discerner of the objective reality. In actuality, reality is in the mind of the beholder. The outside world only supplies bits and pieces of raw material that the mind puts together to form its reality. Depending on the type and amount of bits and pieces that a given mind receives, its reality can be very different from that of another mind.

The more prescribed and homogeneous a group, the greater is the group’s consensual reality, since the members share much in common experiential input and reinforce each others’ mindset. Thus, members of a given religious order, for instance, tend to think much more similarly to one another than to members of other groups with different experiential histories.

Various approximations of the objective reality, therefore, rule the mind. The degree to which these approximations deviate from the larger group’s consensual reality determines its delusional extent and severity.

A cocaine mainliner, for instance, under the influence of the drug, may become convinced that a bug is burrowing under his skin. In his absolute, although clearly false, certitude of the reality of his perception, cocaine users are known to take a knife to their own body to dig the burrowing bug out before it has penetrated too deeply.

A methamphetamine user’s reality is often distorted in a different way. Under the influence of the drug, an intense paranoia overtakes him. His reality is dominated by the belief that one or more people are lurking about to harm or kill him. He may wield a deadly weapon, going from room to room, from closet to closet, in search of the assailants.

If you believe that a bug is camping deeply inside your body, then you might go ahead and try to dig the non-existent bug out. If you believe that people are lurking around the house to harm or kill you, you go after them before they get you. If you believe that all the troubles of the world are due to the evil-doings of the non-Muslims who war against Allah, then you do all you can to fight and kill them, particularly since Allah tells you to do so in the Quran.

The drug-induced delusions are hallucinations. They are dramatic and usually transitory, while religiously-based implantation of ideas program the mind with lasting delusions.

Delusions, even when they are at great variance from the objective reality, can rule the mind without the need for drugs, or as a result of neurological dysfunctions or other factors. The young and the less-educated are most vulnerable to believe the claims of charlatans, con artists, and cunning clerics, as truth and reality.

A tragic example of the young’s susceptibility to induced delusion is the case of thousands of Iranian children who were used as human minesweepers in the last Iran-Iraq war. The mullahs issued made-in-China plastic keys for paradise to children as enticement to go forward and clear the minefield with their bodies ahead of the military’s armored vehicles. The children believed the murderers and rushed to their death, thinking that they were headed for Islam’s glorious paradise.

The repeated intense indoctrination of the children even changed the perception of some of the charlatan mullahs so that they, themselves, believed their own lies, took their own keys to Allah’s paradise and rushed to their death clinging to the plastic trinkets. Hence, some of the puppeteers, in this instance, became puppets themselves. Such are the follies and fallibilities of the human mind.

It is, therefore, understandable that many of the higher-up Islamic puppeteers, who are usually brainwashed from early childhood, devote their fortunes and persons to the implementation of their deeply engrained delusions.

Deluded by the threats and promises of Islam, Muslims, poor or rich, vie with one another in furthering the violent cause of Allah.

Many non-Muslims are also victims of a different, yet just as deadly, delusion. They believe that Islam is a religion of peace, that only a small minority of Muslims are jihadists, and that Muslims can be reasoned with to abandon the Quran-mandated elimination of the non-believers. These well-meaning simpletons are just as deluded as the fanatic jihadists by refusing to acknowledge the fact that one cannot be a Muslim and not abide by the dictates of the Quran.

New Orleans Went Under--A Black man's comments

By Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson


Say a hurricane is about to destroy the city you live in. Two questions:
What would you do?
What would you do if you were black? 

Sadly, the two questions don't have the same answer. 

To the first: Most of us would take our families out of that city 
quickly to protect them from danger. Then, able-bodied men would return 
to help others in need, as wives and others cared for children, 
elderly, infirm and the like. 

For better or worse, Hurricane Katrina has told us the answer to the 
second question. If you're black and a hurricane is about to destroy 
your city, you'll probably wait for the government to save you. 

This was not always the case. Prior to 40 years ago, such a pathetic 
performance by the black community in a time of crisis would have been 
inconceivable. The first response would have come from black men. 
They would take care of their families, bring them to safety, and then 
help the rest of the community. Then local government would come in. 

No longer. When 75 percent of New Orleans residents had left the city, 
it was primarily immoral, welfare-pampered blacks that stayed behind 
and waited for the government to bail them out. This, as we know, did 
not turn out good results. 

Enter Jesse Jackson and Louis Farrakhan. Jackson and Farrakhan laid 
blame on 'racist' President Bush. Farrakhan actually proposed the idea 
that the government blew up a levee so as to kill blacks and save 
whites. The two demanded massive governmental spending to rebuild New 
Orleans 
above and beyond the federal government's proposed $60 billion. Not 
only that, these two were positioning themselves as the gatekeepers to 
supervise the dispersion of funds. Perfect: 'Two of the most dishonest 
elite blacks in America ,' overseeing  billions of dollars. I wonder 
where that money will end up. 

Of course, if these two were really serious about laying blame on 
government, they should blame the local one. Responsibility to perform 
legally and practically fell first on the mayor of New Orleans . We are 
now all familiar with Mayor Ray Nagin the black who likes to yell at 
President Bush for failing to do Nagin's job. The facts, unfortunately 
do not support Nagin's wailing. As the Washington Times puts it, 
'recent reports show [Nagin] failed to follow through on his own city's 
emergency-response plan, 
which acknowledged that thousands of the city's poorest residents would 
have no way to evacuate the city.'

One wonders how there was 'no way' for these people to evacuate the 
city. We have photographic evidence telling us otherwise. You've 
probably seen it by now the photo showing 2,000 parked school buses, 
unused and underwater. How much planning does it require to put people 
on a bus and leave town, Mayor Nagin? 

Instead of doing the obvious, Mayor Nagin (with no positive 
contribution from Gov. Kathleen Blanco, the other major leader vested 
with responsibility to address the hurricane disaster) loaded remaining 
new Orleans residents into the Superdome and the city's convention 
center. 
We know how that plan turned out. 

About five years ago, in a debate before the National Association of 
Black Journalists, I stated that if whites were to just leave the 
United States and let blacks run the country, they would turn America 
into a ghetto within 10 years. The audience, shall we say, disagreed 
with me strongly. Now I have to disagree with me. I gave blacks too 
much credit. It took a mere three days for blacks to turn the Superdome 
and the convention center into ghettos, rampant with theft, rape and 
murder. 

President Bush is not to blame for the rampant immorality of blacks. 
Had New Orleans ' black community taken action, most would have been 
out of harm's way. But most were too lazy, immoral and trifling to do 
anything productive for themselves. 

All Americans must tell blacks this truth. It was blacks' moral 
poverty, not their material poverty, that cost them dearly in New 
Orleans . 
Farrakhan, Jackson, and other race hustlers are to be repudiated 
for they will only perpetuate this problem by stirring up hatred and 
applauding moral corruption. New Orleans , to the extent it is to be 
rebuilt, should be remade into a dependency-free, morally strong city 
where corruption is opposed and success is applauded. Blacks are 
obligated to help themselves and not depend on the government to care 
for them. 
We are all obligated to tell them so.

Take a traditional enemy of the United States, say, Nazism, or the Soviet Union, or Japan during World War II. All of these enemies fought in the name of something mortal. Nazism fought in the name of Hitler. So the way you win is you fight Hitler until he gives up or kills himself. Then you win. The Soviet Union fought in the name of Communism. Make Communism collapse by spending it into the ground, and you win. Japan fought in the name of the emperor. Make him, a mortal man, surrender, and the war is over. It’s all a question of tactics and force.

Islam is different. They fight in the name of God. The problem is, you can conquer them militarily and they’ll just keep going after you. You’ll win whatever war it is – Iraq, Afghanistan, Lybia, but the more you vanquish them militarily, the more they’ll keep slaughtering your men, your women, your children, even your babies. It will drive you mad. How can we beat them? Well, if they fight in the name of God, the question really is, how do we kill a GOD? Sounds crazy! I’ll explain how, but first we must go back to the year 1967.

Muslim theology is quite simply that the Bible is a forgery spread by the Jews, the Koran is the real Bible, and Islamic law must spread throughout the entire world via the destruction of the Jews. The one weakpoint in their theology, staring them in the face, is Israel. The fact that the Jews are back in their homeland just as the Bible promises, is evidence that they are simply wrong. They can’t deal with it theologically. So they try to kill it.

In June 1967, the Muslims attempted to destroy Israel, but the Jewish People beat them so badly that not only did they lose, but Biblical prophecies became even MORE true. The Jews returned to all of Jerusalem, to Judea, Samaria, and finally the Temple Mount itself!

But then the Jews did something insane. Something so dangerously stupid that it gave birth to Islamic terrorism. Moshe Dayan, Israeli Defense Minister at the time, simply gave the Temple Mount back to the Muslims. At that very moment, the possibility for Islamic terrorism was born, because they suddenly realized that the core weak point in their theology – the Jewish People and the Jewish State – was spiritually weak. Maybe they could crush you militarily, but in the end they wouldn’t even know what to do with a victory.

At the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, Jews are escorted by the Muslim Waqf and are forbidden to bow down or pray there by police for fear of starting a Muslim riot.

When the Jews left the Temple Mount, Muslims knew all it would have to do is wear Israel and the West down with fatigue until they simply gave up.

So what we have to do is simple. Take their weak point and HIT them there. No, we don’t have to bomb the Temple Mount. But we do have to allow Jews, their wost nightmare, and Christians too by the way, to pray there. Not in the name of freedom, but in the name of the GOD of freedom. America and Israel quite simply must start fighting Islam in the name of God. The God of Goodness and Freedom. That’s how you defeat a God. With a God. Fight in His name and you will win.

1) Israel must take back the Temple Mount, and in the name of the God of freedom, allow all religions to worship there freely. Right now a Jew who so much as bows there is arrested for fear of starting a Muslim riot.

2) America, if she chooses to fight militarily, must fight not in the name of justice and freedom, but in the name of the God of Justice and Freedom.

Finally, and most importantly, there is nothing that strikes fear in the heart of an Islamist more than a Jew building a house in his ancestral homeland. If he so much as puts up a a SHACK in Judea and Samaria (AKA the West Bank), the whole Muslim world goes mad. Every Jewish home built in Israel is another nail in the coffin of the Koran. If the Jews are back, the Koran is false, and Islam will finally be defeated.
