[CHARLITE]

John Kerry and the liberals believe that these age-old, barbaric atrocities can be eliminated "more smartly" and "more efficiently," if the U.S. gov't just convenes summits in Brussels or Paris where heads of state sit around huge conference tables and solve the problem of terrorism. Presumably this would include - by summit conferences - rectifying 15 centuries of human devastation, done by this cult upon its own people and everyone else who gets in their way.

Beyond belief. You couldn't make this stuff up. Polygamy is a stone age practice that seems to create problems wherever it is practiced.

With all respect, and I do despise Islamics, Ms. Chessler still sounds like a loon: Women and Madness.

They can analyze them all they want. It all comes down to one thing: small penis syndrome.

[Conservative Canuck]

Gee, and here I thought they were just all fu8&%d in the head...

[Eastbound]

So the women wear burkas to hide their bruises, scars, cuts, and other deformities caused by there loving men kin? Who'd a thought it?

Widespread child sexual abuse leads to paranoid, highly traumatized, and revenge-seeking adults.

Gay marriage anyone?

[Poincare]

Good post. Should be read by all. I have heard this information from Arabs in Detroit. It is credible (and incredible too).

[hershey]

This explains a great deal. Horrific.

[pepperspray]

I'm a psychiatrist and I couldn't care less why they do it. So now we supposedly understand why they cower and hide behind their children, train them to kill themselves and then seek safety in populated areas, who cares.

THE PSYCHOANALYTIC ROOTS OF ISLAMIC TERRORISM

IMHO, the psychoanalytic problem might (partly) have it's roots in genetics.

I won't waste time tracking it now, but maybe a year ago I stumbled across a
demographics web-page (from the Palestinian Authority, no less) that documented the
high rate of cousin-marriages in the PA area.

Although some very smart commentators think that "cousin-marriages" aren't
that big of a problem...
I think that what we see in the PA is nearly proof of it.

I can't recall the exact rates of "cousin-marriage", but it was high enough to make
me feel much better about having grown up in Oklahoma!

[JSteff]

Wow! This explains a bunch about what is behind the problems there. It IS far deeper than even a religion thing, though Islam is the culture that condones and fuels it.

Most Americans do not know, or want to hear about this. Because of this our war on terror has far further to go before the country will understand it enough to be ready to commit to it totally.

Will the problems only end when the current generations are removed?

This article seems pretty outrageous, especially from what people have told me about Muslim society.

A guy I used to work with grew up in Jordan. He said during his lifetime he had personally seen several people beheaded for being caught in homosexual acts (as well as a number of other punishments for murder, theft, etc). Someone brings a charge, they find the witnesses, the witnesses testify, then the guy who is the judge makes the sentence. The trial and sentence is carried out all within a week or two, no long-drawn out appeals.

I'll have to take this article with a grain of salt until we can get some more confirmation.

So let me get this straight-now the world will have yet one more reason to pity these barbaric thugs? Give me a break. There is no way you can theorize about matters sadistic and sexual to "explain" away an entire culture's abbarent behavior. When will these people start to take some responsibilty for themselves for crying out loud! Why should we need to simply understand some ridiclulous analytic theory just so some kook can sell a book?

[pepperspray]

This is nothing more than CYA for the entire Islamic community-When people are turned into victims, they can do whatever they want. Poppycock to this junk.

[John O]

Allahu Fubar!

The only answer seems to be to kill them all.

Father God, I pray that You will save them, change them, and deliver them all from this plague of islam. But if they refuse to be saved and changed I pray that You kill them before they drag others into hell with them.

does anyone see a pattern here?


Phyllis Chesler is a pioneer feminine psychologist.

She was born in the late 1930's early 1940's to her mother Lillian (Chesler, Rothblum, & Cole, 1995; Phyllis Chesler, PhD. n.d.).

She says that she had few female role models as a child (Chesler, Rothblum, & Cole, 1995).

The only women she noticed who had college degrees were women in "feminine" careers, like nurses (Chesler, Rothblum, & Cole, 1995).

Chesler taught one of the first accredited women's studies classes at Richmond College in New York during the 1969-1970 school-year (Chesler, Rothblum, & Cole, 1995).

During the same year she founded the Association for Women in Psychology (Phyllis Chesler, PhD. n.d.).

During her time at Richmond College (now CUNY) Chesler established many services for her female students (Chesler, Rothblum, & Cole, 1995).
