Can we open the Muslim mind?

MUSLIM TERROR & HATE

The Islamic Psyche

Psyche is defined in Webster as, interchangeably, the Soul, the Self or the Mind of a person or body of persons. Let’s expand that to mean that which governs our core beliefs, behavior and reactions to the world around us. It is an impregnable mask that cannot be penetrated or changed without extreme intervention or, alternatively, a soul wrenching conversion or veritable epiphany from deep within a person’s soul. In simpler words it is what we are in a very fundamental way. The western psyche can, in aggregate, be said to be one of reasonably tolerant and open minds, accustomed to change and questioning and very accustomed to living amongst challenge and doubt about our personal beliefs. We can be quite firm in our beliefs and life styles while concurrently quite able to live civilly amongst others who do not accept our beliefs. Variable external conditions are an every day part of western life and, for the most part, we adjust and deal with it all very comfortably.
Not so Muslims, especially for fundamentalists. To them the very opposite of western thought forms their psyche. Allah, through Mohammed, his Prophet, established Islam the religion to shape human life and law and delivered to us the Koran as its only true word. The religion allows no questioning or interpretation and demands complete obedience and even has a set of religious law –Sharia - which is the basis for the only valid government. Muslims not only believe explicitly in the Koran as the total guide to life, they do not accept that others have a right to different beliefs. Thus, all others are Infidels. It is extremely difficult, if not impossible therefore, for a westerner to comprehend what he is faced with in dealing with his Muslim counterparts. The westerner will expect comity in his relations with Muslims, and may even get it on a superficial level, but will eventually become forced to face the fact of being held in contempt by Muslim acquaintances. On the other hand, Muslims seem to better understand us insofar as our psyche is viewed by them as a decadent and craven weakness that can be exploited to their advantage.

Nothing Is Hidden

The West would quickly mobilize against Islam on a massive, multi-front scale if it had an accurate understanding of Islamic aims and core beliefs. This counter attack need not be a violent one but rather would best be a constructive and aggressive engagement with Islam using only the truth on a massive, coordinated scale. If we fail to do this we will be faced with violent and destructive conflict. Intensive study reveals the danger to be palpable and terrifying in its implications. Muslims are not hiding anything and, in fact, are very open about their contempt for us as well as their religion based purposes for the non-Muslim world. In a well funded continuing and successful effort to overcome the truth and manipulate western perceptions they engage in modern and sophisticated public relations efforts everywhere to cultivate a peaceful and benign image. Remember, the Koran condones lying and deception to achieve ultimate Islamic world hegemony. The Congress of American Islamic Relations (CAIR) is a perfect example of the practitioners of this underhanded campaign aimed at deflecting our collective attention. To this end they have been incredibly successful at forming and/or reinforcing western opinion and using our own legal and social systems to forward their interests to our great disadvantage. Preventing a realistic awakening of the traditionally liberal, tolerant and accepting mode of western thought is their precise goal. To date, they have been all too successful. Western Europe has taken this politically correct but destructive philosophy to suicidal extremes and America is heading down the same road though we are, thankfully, still well behind them. There is time for America to make things right if we will only become adequately aware of the ideological enemy at our doorstep.
