FP: How do these four Muslim psychological traits increase the risk of them becoming terrorists?
Sennels: Anger, hurt pride, a victim mentality and a strong feeling of belonging to a group that is superior and opposed to all others are the main components of the terrorist’s mindset. And this is exactly the feelings that Muslim upbringing and Muslim culture instills into a great many Muslims’ personality.
The cultivation of anger and seeing anger as a sign of strength provides the necessary aggression and motivation to harm the object on which one projects the anger. The hurt pride creates a feeling of need for revenge, fuels the anger and increase the wish for domination (”I will show you who are the strongest!”). The outer locus of control – the cause of the widespread and well known victim mentality in Muslim societies – creates an experience of oneself as a persecuted victim that is allowed to defend himself by all means against the brutal and unjust suppressor. The strong identity pinpoints both friends and enemies. Both in wars and in the Hollywood movies the designation and denigration of the enemy helps people feel less empathy with the enemy and thus destroys the psychological border that normally prevents us from harming “the bad guys” or feeling joy when they suffer or are killed. The values implemented in Muslim child education creates and strengthen this tendency to a great extent. Houndreds of thousands of Muslim children in the West attend Quranic schools and in many cases their negative view on non-Muslims are enhanced there.
Muslim culture basically creates a lot of angry people, with fragile self confidence, a great amount of victim mentality and a feeling of being opposed to non-Muslims. Combining such a culture with a violent ideology is the worst possible combination between psychology and religion you can have.
Fascinating.
As the last paragraph states, it is all about “submission”, which is why the Dutch film maker of Submission was assassinated, and his collaborator, Ayaan Hirsi Ali has had to flee to America. Her book Infidel portrays growing up Muslim and rejecting the religion.
Angry people, with fragile self confidence and a victim mentality should not be allowed among normal people.

The behavior described in this article sounds a lot like Obama - raised in a Muslim country during formative years - can’t take criticism, acts thuggish, stirs racial division every chance he gets, etc.
