The Suicide Bomber s Search for the Absent Father

THE LATEST OUTBREAK of violence in Israel included yet again another suicide bombing. Just this past weekend, on Saturday night, a Palestinian blew himself up in a crowded garden cafe across the street from Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's fortified residential compound. He killed at least eleven people.

Why do Muslim males blow themselves up among innocent people?

Yes, the first Muslim female just recently succeeded in this feat in Jerusalem. But overall, this has clearly been a male phenomenon in Islam.

Anti-American and anti-Israeli groupies would have us believe that suicide bombers act out of desperation because of American and Israeli imperialism.

Wrong.

Suicide bombers have embraced a death wish because of the nightmarish reality that Islamic culture and religion have imposed on them.

In Islam, "Jihad" (the holy war against the infidels) fills the void of an absent father in a young Muslim man’s life. Expressed through suicide, Jihad also allows the Muslim youth to punish himself for the agonizing guilt he harbors regarding his sexual feelings for women, which are demonized in Islam. Moreover, suicide offers the young Muslim male a final union with Allah, which ends the young man’s life-long search for a father figure.

Islam promotes polygamy. In any polygamist environment, children always feel abandoned by their fathers. Whether or not the father comes around, he is perceived as being absent. That’s because when a man does not have to invest in one woman, the concept of "the couple" is shattered - and the importance and role of both wife and child are minimized. Children are irreparably scarred.

The entire history of Islam is a story about the missing father. This was the reality of the Prophet Mohammed himself.

Without a father, a child’s ability to construct a healthy identity is seriously harmed. Within the setting of this tragic abandonment, any societal structure will always be lacking. History and empirical realities have demonstrated that there is one kind of "family" that tends to produce violent men: the one in which women rule and men are invisible.

A fatherless male child blames his victimization on the female. Boys who are nurtured by their fathers, and who see their fathers nurture their mothers, always have more respect for women than fatherless males.

In polygamy, the child sees that he has siblings born of different women, who obviously weren’t good enough to be cherished alone by their husbands. In this way, boys get their first taste of misogyny, since they internalize the notion that their own mothers were somehow deficient and therefore expendable.

This foundation for the hatred of women is fertilized by the venomous misogyny inherent in Islamic religion itself. In Islam, males are taught to control desire (shahwa). Women are the incarnation of shahwa. Shahwa comes from the devil. It becomes clear, therefore, why the association of shahwa, the devil and woman, is rife throughout Islamic religious literature.

Muslim males hate women because they are symbols of their own lust and repressed sexuality. As a result, males must oppress and denigrate the object of their lust. But this does not mean that males’ natural attraction toward the opposite sex disappears. The result is excruciating sexual rage and guilt.

The problem is that wherever men oppress and despise women, a collective form of suicidal behavior emerges. In the Muslim Arab world, the society is so pathological that suicide takes on a literal form.

It only makes sense that Islamic terrorists violently strike out against American freedom in the same way they strike out against their own women: they hate what stimulates their desire and guilt. In punishing America, they punish their own sinful urges.

And it is no coincidence that, in many interviews with failed suicide bombers, Muslim males confess they were motivated by how the shedding of their own blood would yield the forgiveness of their sins.

Interestingly these men also confirm that they acted out of a lifelong search for love and desire to be with Allah. In this case, the suicide bombers are clearly searching (unconsciously) for their absent fathers. They wish to please their fathers and to get the affirmation and attention from them that they have craved their entire lives.

Suicide, therefore, offers the Muslim male a tool with which to punish himself - as well as those who have made him feel an overwhelming sense of guilt. In killing himself along with the enemies of Allah, he is able to fulfill his lifelong dream: to be with the father whose love and presence he’s never ever known.

Finally, someone is pointing out the rot at the heart of Arabic Islamic culture. They need a reformation. They hate us, what is wrong with them and how must they change?

Idiotic.

FpM likes to think of itself as "the cutting edge," but sharp tools should be used with discretion.

More light, less heat = less injury to foot.

Or was it supposed to be funny . . ?

Hmmm. No. FpM has no sense of humour.

Nothing like a reformed drunk for lack of humour.

Meet the new boss . .

The Islamic religion is a satanic reversal of Christianity. A Christian is told that he is innately sinful or depraved, lost...but that God (the father, out of His great love) has sacrificed His own son that such condition may be overcome, and individual "sins" (shortfalls, peccadillos) forgiven.

The Muslim is told that he is already a "fine animal," beloved of Allah, if completely surrendered to him and prostrated before him. He has no sense of his own innate sinfulness or disgusting nature before regeneration.

But this god of his is implacable, unmoving, hardly more than a fact of nature, red in tooth and claw, responsible for the vicious and violent world he has willed (insha-allah, they say constantly)...a sort of Carthaginian molech god who devours his own children, a typical hobgoblin of the semites.

This god sits back, puffing on his hookah, and demands that his earthly children go out and kill, fight, sacrifice their lives for him--in fact, steal, rob, take booty for him, so that he can enjoy the ill-gotten gains, just like a typical Arab father!

In fact, all they get for this is pie in the sky by and by, the father takes it as no more than his right, women and children are a dime a dozen...allah has billions of children here, and probably tens of billions more elsewhere...the individual is subsumed...

No value is placed on life. Note that a Christian martyr is an innocent who has been slaughtered by some violent, often Islamic, monster of satanic nature.

But an Islamic martyr is someone who has gone out sword in hand to redden the streets with blood, infidel if available, his fellow muslims' if not! No innocent he! But if his victims somehow manage to overpower him, even then he has not lost all, for the allah that wants this carnage will reward it enough to keep it going!

Palestinians are quote open about this, stating daily in sermons that the Jews love life, want to live, and since the Arabs are in a position to deny them this, Israel can never possibly win and must fall in a matter of months.

Are they right? They are unless the Judeo-Christian world is willing to see that they are demon-possessed, already lost souls, and simply put them out of their misery that some less defective and less hideous, form of humanity may come in and replace them.

There can be no reform or conversion: those words apply to persons WITHIN the Judeo-Christian tradition who merely correct their individual behavior to the norms born and ingrained in them with their mothers milk, as it were.

There is no reformation or enlightenment for Muslims. There is only their removal and replacement with a less violent and demon-possessed people.

Y'gotta be (seemingly, outwardly) cruel to be kind. Nuclear weapons are the most humane thing we have; the hundreds of millions of Christians slain by Muslims were never so lucky.

In nomine christo.
