More good uncommon common sense from the proprietor. I was required, in the line of duty, to spend many years among Muslims in their own countries, and I quickly learned that, if I wanted to survive, I should never, EVER, allow myself into a situation where one or more of them was in control and could act without consequence. I knew people who did and lost their lives. These lessons I learned more than 50 years ago.


Imo, the charge of "Islamophobia" is also used as a veritable projection of Faux Liberals' own treatment of Christians, Big Corporations, Capitalism, White Males, Guns, CO2, the United States, George Bush, etc., the Human Race itself, and/or any other arbitrary person, thing, or false construct they want to demonize - as a cover for, and indicator of, their own failure to deal with reality.

As much as Islam has demonized itself by its own acts, Faux Liberals, likewise, have demonized themselves.

They make a nice couple, indeed.


Here's a deal: I'll stop being Islamophobic when Muslims stop acting so scary.

C.A.I.R.: Creepy Anti-Semites Infiltrating the Republic

.... or is it

Cunning Arabs Imposing their Religion


We're not Islamophobic, leftists are Islamoblivious.


Dr. Sanity, I agree with all your points in this post. In addition, I would like to ask the question--what does Islam actually offer in terms of morality and human betterment?

In my previously uninformed state, I believed that Islam supported the "brotherhood of man" (and that the emancipation of women would be sure to follow) and the "giving of alms."

Now it turns out that Islam supports almsgiving only to other Muslims and that's it's OK to keep slaves (and that the emancipation of women is hardly likely, given the Koranic rules).

So--no brotherhood, no charity--what's left? Just a cult devoted to conquest and supremacy.

This cult should go the way of the Aztec cult and the sooner, the better.


I have a question. Is there any penalty in Islam aside from death? Or does that pretty much cover every situation?


Lan astaslem!


"phobia" literally means, "fear".

In this era of newspeak, "phobia" gets applied to anyone who simply disagrees with the other.

If I disagree with homosexuality, and I do, then I am labled as "homophobic" -- even though I have no fear of homosexuality nor homosexuals -- I simply disagree with them.

So the same tired old tool gets dragged out by the Islamists.

Just another example of the lame argument of the personal attack tactic when there is no real defense or ability to address the issues and arguments at hand intelligently.

There is one common denominator throughout all of written history that I have noticed and that is the fact that every single instance of evil in this world has always mislabled the words and deeds of the courageous as being driven by fear.

The ultimate -- and most deadliest -- example of projection.

"The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself."

FDR knew that at the time of his inaugural address.

"If everyone is thinking alike, someone isn't thinking."

"You're never beaten until you admit it."

"Prepare for the unknown by studying how others in the past have coped with the unforeseeable and the unpredictable."

"I do not fear failure. I only fear the 'slowing up' of the engine inside of me which is pounding, saying, 'Keep going, someone must be on top, why not you?'"

"If we take the generally accepted definition of bravery as a quality which knows no fear, I have never seen a brave man. All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened."

"Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base. All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty. Duty is the essence of manhood."

"The time to take counsel of your fears is before you make an important battle decision. That's the time to listen to every fear you can imagine! When you have collected all the facts and fears and made your decision, turn off all your fears and go ahead!"

Gen. George Patton knew what I'm talking about.

And he WON.

That's the whole point of terrorism, isn't it: to cause fear. I did this post on 23rd April: http://millennium-notes.blogspot...t- ideology.html


Has the fatwah been issued yet? Like our fellow species members on the Left, these folks have a strong aversion to truth.


It is fun to play make-believe!

Dr. Sanity likes to pretend that she and her family are in danger of an Islamic terrorist attack in Ann Arbor.

So she writes the same "blog" over and over and over about how Islam is bad. She is almost as bad as "Siggy". Did anyone reading this learn anything new? I thought not.

The irony is, Dr. Sanity is grateful for Islam, terrorists, and the war. Otherwise, she'd have nothing to do.


Anonymous is even more grateful for Dr. Sanity, otherwise he'd have nothing to do all day but praise Allah.


An excellent post doc, as always. At least one brave Brit comic has jumped into the fray with what was intended as a comedy routine. It is biting, humorous, accurate, and only in a place or two, over the top. After slogging through the OIC's incredible output of the past two days, thought you might appreciate it.
http://towncommons.blogspot.com/...- hypocrisy.html
Even money on whether the UK jails him before some adherent to the religion of peace has him on a seperate home video. Unfortunately, I am not joking on that.


I dont fear muslims. I'm just F*cking sick of them and the world revolving around their psychosis.

Looks more and more like it will take some over the top ass whipping, or their outright utter extinction to get some type of normalcy back to planet Earth. There will be a 4 day period where i'll just be inconsolable. Then I'll go fishing.


My experience is similar to Doc's. Before 9/11, I considered Islam a quaint, backwards religion. It may have been creepy, but was otherwise harmless. How wrong we all were.

The first thing to understand is that Islam is not a religion, but a hate cult. It just happens to be the most successful hate cult in history, but it's still just a cult. Mohammed was not a prophet, but a con artist who invented his cult for purely personal gain. It was about his greed and power and nothing else. It was no coincidence that all of Allah's revelations to Mohammed personally benefited him and legitimized the wanton looting, stealing, enslavement, raping and killing he was responsible for.

Throwing about accusations of Islamophobia is just an attempt to silence those who recognize Islam for what it is.


Dear Dr. Sanity,

Considering your high education and credentials I have to ask: Have you ever actually read the Quran or The Life of Muhammed by Siddiqui?

If not, I suggest you do. You seem to have been misinformed by the very MSM you so despise. I notice much talk which is evidence you may have trouble listening. I find that ironic since you are a member of the psychiatric industry.

What I see in your post and commentary is fear. Fear begats hate and hate begats violence. Can you agree with that Dr.? The fear and consequent hate is exhibited in all the three Abrahamic religions, as well as the violence. There are Christitian "Taliban" too like Mc Veigh and Rudolph.

Can you not recognize we are in a 21st Century Renaissance enhanced by the internet like Guttenbergh's printing press facilitated the Renaissance in Saint Francis of Assissi's time? Can you not see the parallels about the fear, hate and war in both those times?

I agree with your thoughts on CAIR and the push in Europe to create Eurabia. But, how about Turkey and what is happeng there? I can not help but believe from my research there are positive interactions between certain adherants of the Abrahamic faiths, look at the travels of Pope Benedict.

Your post accentuates the negative. I challenge you to research the positive like some of the changes occurring in Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan. Check out Bill Roggio, Frontpagemag's War Blog, Blackfive and look into Ayatollah Sistani's Najaf School of Shia Islam. Look into 4GW and 5GW. You may become a little calmer.

I am worried about your sanity, Dr.

I am a lover of love, hater of hate and seeker of truth. My code is Honor, Discipline, Integrity, Courage and Compassion.

Salaam.


3500 Westerners killed by Muslim fanatics since the early 1990s.

At least 60,000 Iraqi civilians killed by coalition forces since 2003.

Fear the Muslims! Why won't they realize that we're just trying to help them? Stupid savages!


Hey, Bizarr-- Did you happen to notice which side has been doing much (perhaps MOST) of the killing in Iraq? Last time I checked the American Military wasn't setting those car bombs to kill civilians in the market place, those just trying to survive.


"Have you ever actually read the Quran or The Life of Muhammed by Siddiqui?"

And much of the Hadith and much of Bukhari.

In the end, it matters little what is WRITTEN. What matters is BEHAVIOR and what matters is WHAT IS TAUGHT.

Religions are measured by what is built in the name of God, not but what is destroyed in the name of God.

Religions are measured by how many lives are saved in God's name, not by how many are taken in His name.

Cultures too, are measured.

In civilized cultures, heroes save lives. In other kinds of cultures, heroes take lives.

We can discuss what is taught in schools in the Islamic world, versus what is taught in the western world.

The proof is in the pudding.

Algeria, Sudan, Mauritania, Indonesia, India, Philippines, the Arab world, etc.

The Arab world is a monument to failure and repression. Other once successful Islamic societies are imploding as the beasts that have come to speak for Islam, are determined to follow suit.

Only Muslim religious services exhort worshippers to violence and to kill.

Please don't tell westerners what to read.

Tell us better how you think we ought to respond to the bestial behavior of radical Islamists.

Unless of course, you have no problem with that kind of behavior- and that says more about you than it does about us.


CapnBilly: "...if I wanted to survive, I should never, EVER, allow myself into a situation where one or more of them was in control and could act without consequence."

I agree most heartily. One would, I presume, also be extremely wary of placing one's life into the hands of any such physician.


I do fear Islam but I don't let that fear dictate my life.

Islamaphobia?

From the Woody Allen movie "Curse of the Jade Scorpion"

Dan Ackroyd: "There is a word for people who think someone is out to get them and it starts with a P. Do you know what word that is?"

Woody Allen: "Yes! Perceptive!"


Hooray! "Siggy" is here!

"Siggy" is grateful for Islam as well. He loves to write about how Islam is bad. He likes to think that radical Muslims attack him on his blog.

I am not going to pick on "Siggy" too much though. It is fun for a while, but then it starts to feel bad, as it's like teasing the retarded boy at the playground. Where is Garry K?


:I am not going to pick on "Siggy" too much though. It is fun for a while, but then it starts to feel bad, as it's like teasing the retarded boy at the playground."

Cmon Buzz, PRETEND you're intelligent- What EXACTLY did I say you disagree with? You can do it..can't you?

Dance for us Buzz, dance... pretend you are are intelligent..put on a good show and tell us EXACTLY what is so offensive to you...

Put on a good show, Buzz...

LOLOL


"Siggy" likes to respond to simple and direct statements by claiming I am "dancing". That is a classic case of denial, and projection, and all the other psychological terms you will hear.

He does not offend me, nor does the retarded boy at the playground, but sadly neither is capable of writing anything worthwhile. I suspect he has been a bad influence on Dr. Sanity, too. Her writing had some potential at one time, but now, like "Siggy", Dr. Sanity is sadly writing the same thing over and over again. What will she do when people tire of leaving encouraging comments? We shall see.


LOLOL

Still the same old dance moves- nothing to say, nothing to add.

Here, let's try again. What EXACTLY did Dr Sanity or I say that you can refute?

C'mon, show us some hew dance steps!

What EXACTLY did Dr Sanity say in this post that you take offense at? Where EXACTLY is she mistaken?

Where EXACTLY in my comment do you take umbrage?

C'mon, show us a few new dance steps, Buzz!!

Show us some us some substance!


Buzz (aka "anonymous")- you keep forgetting that you are banned because you contribute nada to a substantive or intelligent discussion. Have you considered going to school? Or, perhaps therapy? Good luck.


Islam is mal.

1) Saddam killed over 2,000,000 in his wars against Iran, Kuwait, and his own people.

2) The vast majority of deaths since the 2nd Gulf War were the muder of Muslims by Muslims in order to foment anarchy.

3) In the last month alone there were:

Yep, that's one Bizarro World you live on, when you blame deaths caused almost entirely by Islamic Fanatics attempting to scare and/or intimidate Iraqis who might DARE not to toe their fanatical line on coalition forces.

Good for you. Now if you can get the, oh, 1% of absolutely fanatical nutjobs of Islam (that would be on the order of 10,000,000 martyrs, suicide bombers, nuclear and bio-weapon misusers, etc) to agree with you, then we'd ALL breathe a lot more comfortably.

When I hear even 1% of this presumed 99% stand up themselves to those nutjobs, tell them "shut the f*** up, you're scaring people!", see and hear of that 1% showing the courage to publicly and openly denounce these nutjobs, and assisting authorities in preventing these LOONS from making Islam ***LOOK*** like nothing else but a religion consisting ONLY of fanatics -- Then I'll figure that you of Islam are starting to TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for your religion and NOT LEAVING IT TO THE REST OF US to deal with.

There would certainly be a few more criteria I'd add to that before I'll breathe easy and stand down. Until then, Salaam my ASS.

There's a scene in Ghandi where they stand up to the Brits, who are armed with clubs. As the Brits knock one man down, someone helps him aside and another steps forward to take his place. When I see the peaceful members of Islam demonstrate a fraction of that amount of courage, and see them standing up to the (I'm fairly sure) limited number of fanatics in their midst -- THEN I'll be less concerned that Islam is becoming MY problem.


Mohammed was not a prophet, but a con artist who invented his cult for purely personal gain.

An apt characterization of Mohammed is that he was a successful Hitler.

In the end, it matters little what is WRITTEN. What matters is BEHAVIOR and what matters is WHAT IS TAUGHT.

Actually, with regards to Islam, it matters a lot what is written, as what is written is the basis for both behaviour and what is taught.

Since the Quran according to Islam consists of the divine, eternally valid, flawless words of Allah, the room for interpretation is negligible. This matters because behaviour and teachings contradicting what is literally written in the scriptures of Islam cannot be justified, and will therefore never be viable.

Tell us better how you think we ought to respond to the bestial behavior of radical Islamists.

When answering the question, remember that "radical Islamists" is just a euphemism for "true, devout Muslims". The "radical Islamists" just do what their religion commands them to do - in that regard they are not in any way "radical" or "extreme".

"Siggy" is grateful for Islam as well. He loves to write about how Islam is bad.

On the contrary, "Siggy" has a bad tendency of going too easy on Islam and making excuses for it, even claiming that it has been "redefined by some of the most evil and dysfunctional regimes in history" instead of admitting that Islam itself has always been inherently evil and dysfunctional and therefore has not been redefined at all.


Security against Islamists and fighting them in Iraq, Iran etc. is an absolute necessary component of treating the symptoms. As are posts in the nature of the docs (Dr. Sanity, Siggy, et. al) that shine a spotlight of reality on the acts of Wahhabi and Khomeinist Islamists and their ilk. One must know the nature of the sickness if one is to defend against the symptoms and seek a cure. It will ultimately be up to people like M. Zuhdi Jasser to eventually develop that cure. To those who would criticize the doc, I would submit your time would be much better spent writing in the nature of Mr. Jasser.
http://towncommons.blogspot.com/...t- islamism.html

That is, if you are interested in the cure. If you only wish to come to the defense of the indefensible, then by all means, continue the criticism. I think the days of such criticism being accepted suffered a mortal wound with 9-11, and at this point only serves to publicize the negative, further pointing the finger of disgrace at Islam.


I’d almost say that terrorists are to Islam, what hooligans are to professional soccer. But since professional soccer organizations appear to put real effort into limiting hooliganism the credibility of that sport hasn’t been ruined too much.

It’s to their own detriment that the OIC isn’t similarly motivated.


I’d almost say that terrorists are to Islam, what hooligans are to professional soccer.

No, terrorists are to Islam what soccer players are to professional soccer. Both groups simply follow the relevant rules.


Sigmund,

Point taken. Well done. Understood and thanks.

Islam skeptic,

And your suggestion for taking them all on is..?
.


Thanks Doc, for allowing Dr. Insanity to prove your points. Revealing, as he does, a glimpse of the 'future world' he has in mind for us.

Dear Dr. Insanity,
Considering your love of death and hatred of women, I have to ask: Has anyone ever shoved a Quran down your throat, one page at a time?
Call me...


Don't have the time nor the inclination to go it one page at a time.

So I'll just opt for shoving the whole thing down his craw in one swoop.

Unlike the toilets at Gitmo, I can make it fit.

Big louts like myself can do stuff like that.


.


And your suggestion for taking them all on is..?

To recognize that Islam does not belong in the West, and that immigration from Islamic countries therefore needs to be halted immediately, and the Muslims already present made to leave.

Not ideal, of course, but sadly it's necessary.


Maybe when the Vanguard Network becomes more popular..

I’m betting that most of the little people in Authoritarian Islam are being coerced against their will - just like in the 20th century USSR, where the Pope, Walesa, Reagan, etc. had the luxury of simply encouraging the human nature dynamics that were already at work there. I think mandating Islam as ‘the enemy’ might set other human nature dynamics in motion, but they’d be the kind that are much harder to work with.

But wouldn’t it be interesting to see what an isolated Islamic world could come up with compared to a democratic rest-of-the-world? Alright, I’m being silly – these malignant narcissists’ utopias just aren’t that “interesting” anymore.


Maybe when the Vanguard Network becomes more popular..

Why would they want to expel adherents of an ideology similar to their own (especially with regards to anti-semitism)?

I think mandating Islam as ‘the enemy’ might set other human nature dynamics in motion, but they’d be the kind that are much harder to work with.

Islam is the enemy regardless of what consequences this acknowledgement may supposedly have, and therefore Islam should be considered the enemy.


Islam Skeptic, et al:

There are two wars going on at this time. One is within Islam between those who believe in democracy against those who believe in fascism, dictatorship and oppression. It is similar to the wars faught within Christindom between the same factions in the past century (WWII, Cold War).

The second war is between the smart/wise and the stupid/ignorant.

I am a lover of love, hater of hate and seeker of truth. Think a bit. Study a bit. There is a wealth of data on the net. Do you understand the generations of war?

I became acquainted with Dr Sanity from her comments on the Belmont Club Blog. Have you seen it? Or are you just some hate consumed puke venting by opining on blogs. You do not impress me. You do not contribute to solutions and you do not understand the nature of this World War.

BTW, I have enjoyed Dr Sanity's analyses for years, ever since I read her stuff on Belmont. What we have in common is our love for USA.

What I am is a servant of the Most High doing what I can the best I can. I am not a pacifist. I consider pacifists one step below the suicide killers because they are suicidal too.

All I want to kill is the hate.

Salaam


There are two wars going on at this time. One is within Islam between those who believe in democracy against those who believe in fascism, dictatorship and oppression.

Could "Dr. Insanity" then identify for us those variants of Islam believing in democracy and inform us how they justify this belief according to the contents of Islamic scriptures and how they argue that those who do not share this belief is wrong?

I am a lover of love, hater of hate and seeker of truth.

Then he surely cannot be Muslim, or else that doesn't make sense.


The good Doc has done it again; putting things into perspective and devoid of Post-modern and Marxoid/ Mohammadian synthesis Trope.
Too which is explained in some turns of thought in modern Philosophy.


Thank you so much for this piece. It echoes the sentiments of many people living in Western society.

Islam has declared religious war on all non-Muslims; they have made that crystal clear.

They will not be reasoned with - they think they are doing the bidding of their god, and regard our words as non-relevant - in their eyes we are lowest of the low and must be subjugated to them and to their god.

Stopping the spread of Islam to Western society is not unjustified or paranoid. It is not hateful, racist, or intolerant to recognize a direct threat, and then to openly protest and alert others to that threat.
It's only common sense if we want to maintain our way of life and our freedoms that Islam seeks to destroy.
