The Light Goes On In Israel About The Insanity Of Islamic Jihadists
I’ve recently returned from Israel, my third trip to the Middle East, my second one this year. While I was in Israel, terrorist bombs blew up a southern part of Beirut, apparently ISIS bombed a Russian airliner killing all on board, and the terrible attacks occurred in Paris. If you go back even to the attack in the United States on 9/11, I think I can come up with a fairly simple profile of who does these things and why.
As politically incorrect as this may sound, make sure the security people at DIA pay attention as you watch them hoist grandma out of her wheelchair wearing Depends to make sure she’s not a threat. I think I know who these people are.
I got cranked on to Sigmund Freud about the middle of my sophomore year in college, where, as you know, the good doctor believed that almost all human behaviors have something to do with sex. Now taking us back in a time machine to when I was of the age of sexual awareness, playing baseball with some older guys, I was taken on my first sexual adventure. I never forgot it.
The motivating force throughout almost all of my life, and other men who are smart enough, have all been driven by … that’s right, sex. Now it’s believed that young men have thoughts about sex about every 35 or 40 seconds. At the grand old age of 72, I find myself thinking about it every 3 or 4 minutes.
In Jerusalem, the centerpiece of all Western faith, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, I believe the most repressive is mainstream Islam. However conservative Christianity and Judaism share that sexual actions are sinful and abstaining from these pleasures is a part of these beliefs. Note to self, you all remember the religious member of your family jumping up and down about gay marriage as if two men who love each other getting married was going to destroy the conservative religious believers of marriage.
So we begin. Imagine you’re a 19-year-old Muslim male and you’re being taught there’s a promise of 72 virgins waiting in heaven for any martyr of Islam. Over here is the pool of young, sexually frustrated Muslim males with no chance of marrying, having nothing to lose and much to gain. To again make my case, in almost every incident suicide bombers have been historically young, unmarried Muslim men. These men join Islamic groups committed to suicidal attacks on infidels to go immediately to paradise to enjoy the beautiful women there.
That’s why I’m reading Roots of Islam. There’s an Oxford sociologist Diego Gambetta, who says these little monsters have little to do with religion but everything to do with sex. Sex is unattainable for most young Muslim males, but homeboy, if you just hit this little red button the party starts. How can you go wrong?
As for the women in Saudi Arabia or Iran, and other countries ruled by Sharia laws, none have legal or property rights and certainly not full rights as human beings. Dr. Freud was a great believer in all of this being motivating for behavior at that time in modern Vienna. (Note to self, Freud also thought that cocaine was also the answer to all problems).
Bad treatment and no rights for women, and Islam also tolerates sexual abuse of both boys and girls. Another one of the facts that Freud uncovered in Vienna was that these women had been sexually abused, and remember, if you please Allah, you’re a hero. If you destroy the infidel, you become a good boy. An Islamic hero by becoming a brutal killer. Men are allowed to beat their wives who don’t do what they ask. We’ve witnessed sexual abuse of afghan boys by military and police. It’s an interesting conclusion that political correctness will not allow people to enter that room.
By writing this article I will immediately become an Islamophobe, or simply exercising my white male privilege.
I think we’re watching it work itself out. Remember honor killing? When a young Islamic woman can do such horrible crimes as leaving the house on her own, refusing to enter an arranged mar-riage or dressing in ways that the faith deems inappropriate. Now if that ain’t sexual repression, I don’t know what is.
So I leave you with this one at the holidays. Sexual drive is found by most men and women but apparently remains a mystery to Allah, but you keep kids buttoned up and then tell them all they have to do is hit the red button on a suicide vest and its Christmas morning. And I’ll leave you with one more of uncle Sigmund’s statements, “Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.”
