Suicide Bombers NOT Crazy??? "Experts" Say:

First, remember it was the "psychiatrists" who decided that Adolf Eichman was "sane"...they ignored that sociopathy is a personality disorder.

People with personality disorders are not typically considered clinically insane.

[Paul_Denton]

No they are not crazy. They are monsters.

"Sane people are commonly passionately pursuaded by nonsense."

So, they went crazy right?

Do you suppose that just as soon as they've "hit the button" they, for a split second, think....OH SH**????
But then it's too late...a little to late lapse of insanity.

[PGalt]

"Experts".

LOL!

[FlashBack]

I guess whenever I see the phrase: "Experts Say" it brings to mind those tabloid papers you see at the grocery store while standing in line.

Or, the late night commercial where they're selling 'diamonds'...the guy comes on and says..
"I'm in the business and this looks like a 10,000.00 diamond to me."
In the biz of selling crap that is.

They may not be crazy, but they are definitely evil.

Well put. Just so.

[ladyinred]

I was trying to decide what in the world to say about this. I read your post, and you said it all. They are EVIL, as are those who try to justify their monstrous actions.

This line of analysis -- which is popular among academics for political reasons -- rests on poor quality data: accounts from the families of suicide bombers and surveys of captives.

There are many reports that, along with stable if sinister personalities, gullible and abused kids and outright nut cases are especially targeted, recruited, and fired up in mosques and clubs, then trained and sent to do suicide bombings and terrorist attacks. They move along as if on a conveyor belt. No matter the particulars, the families always insist on their lack of knowledge and the normality of their offspring for the sake of honor and to avoid scrutiny and punishment by the authorities.

Yet there is a sense in which Islamic terrorists are normal. The "normal" part of Islamic terrorism is that it stems from Islam, which approves of terrorism and martyrdom; and that Islamic societies and their self-made ghettos in the West produce a surplus of discontented young males with little prospect of employment and marriage.

A rare example of the rehabilitation of terrorists by the PLO and Arafat suggests the nature of the problem. When entering a phase of pretend peace, Arafat and his gangsters realized that they would have to do something about their most capable and dedicated killers and terrorists. If not somehow kept busy and pacified, these hard men would soon be drawn into their former trade in factional disputes, with Arafat and the senior PLO as targets. What to do?

The PLO recruited dozens of young women for a task that would require deep loyalty to the Palestinian cause and lifelong commitment. The bad boys were cleaned up and, at small parties, were introduced to the Palestinian gals.

Matches and marriages were quickly arranged, and with nice apartments, cash rewards, jobs, and stipends, the young couples settled down. The hard men supposedly became doting husbands and fathers who declined all offers to return to their former line of work.

Obviously, we cannot do the same sort of thing for Islam's millions of alienated young males. Islamic societies have to do that. Until then, Islam will generate a constant pool of discontented young men who require lots of police work and firepower to dispose of.

Psychiatry is the biggest form of theoretical hocus pocus in America.

Throw in all of the humanities and social sciences and you're right!

[America's Resolve]

"Normal people, given the right circumstances or right set of friends, can become suicide bombers," said Marc Sageman, a forensic psychiatrist and former CIA officer.

This is SUCH bull****!!!

We aren't raised fron infanthood to believe that the vast majority of humanity and less than human and should be eradicated because they're "impure".

. Christianity teaches us that just to believe in Jesus we are offered an eternal spot seated in heaven

Actually,for most Christians it is a bit more complicated than that...

Jesus offers us salvation, but we can turn from it. Also, some people don't really follow Jesus, they merely pretend to.

Finally, non evangelicals think that we are saved by grace, but that we need to cooperate with graces...this is why at the "last judgement", the sheep and goats are separated by their deeds...and why Catholics believe that Jesus, thru grace, can save one who has no gift of faith but tries to follow God as best he or she can...which we call baptism of desire.

Islam is not monolithic. Most Muslims are pious people who try to follow God's will in everyday life, be generous to the poor, and pray daily. The Islamofascists have more in common with fascism and communist left ideology with their utopian ideas than with true Islam...
