Islam and Mental Illness

[koshergrl]

She tried to blame it on their gayness, now she's trying to blame it on mental illness.

Jihadists are not mentally ill. The millions who want sharia law WORLDWIDE are not mentally ill. They are MUSLIM. THAT is their affliction. And everybody needs to get it through their heads that it's okay to defend yourself from them, even if they do claim that they have the blessings of Allah. It doesn't matter. Blessings or not, you don't get Sharia in America. Sorry. Get the fuck out of here, your ideals are not compatible with a free society, and we are a free society. Leave. And understand if you try to change our society to yours, you might die.

If you check out the examples I gave, mental illness was a factor. In fact, the man who hacked a woman to death is spending the rest of his life in a prison mental hospital.

Are you always such a stupid twat?

The legal defense of mental illness and actual mental illness are two different things. One is a sage legal defense maneuver, the second a genuine affliction. They rarely intersect. Someone who hacks a woman to death isn't mentally ill, he's evil. And if he gets off on a psych defense, it means he had a good attorney, probably Jewish.

THANK YOU. Precisely.

Islam and mental illness -- when westerners make it their life's work to defend Islam, they are mentally ill.

Any other questions?"

When a person does something crazy, even violent and crazy - we usually accept that they are mentally ill. Our culture still has a long ways to go in regards to erasing the stigma of mental illness, and recognizing it as something that needs treatment - but it's come a long ways.

But, when that person is Muslim, there seems to be a double stigma attached to it. One: they are Muslim, and any crazy or violent behavior is blamed on their religion. Two: they are crazy, and mental illness still retains a huge stigma in the Muslim Community.

Take for example:

Amina Ali Ahra, who out of the blue grabbed a flag, and started attacking a nearby woman. She'd been reported as hanging around the area but did not live there, chased another woman into her house and when arrested was unable to give police coherent information. This sparked threads, claims of outrage directed at Muslim extremists and Muslims in general and immigrants in general, and in the end it was determined she had mental issues.

Nicholas Salvadore, who went on a bloody rampage, decapitating an elderly woman and two cats. Much was made of it as a religious terrorist attack because he was a Muslim. But, he was also mentally ill, and a paranoid schitzophrenic.

If they were not Muslim, it would quickly have been yesterday's news, no demands for "why isn't this in the news" etc. If they were not Muslim, people would have considered mental illness as a causative factor because the "religion thing" would not have been occupying so much headspace. It's also possible that if they hadn't been Muslim, their families and friends may have recognized signs and sought treatment in childhood before it erupted in to a tragedy.

‘Muslims must fight this taboo’ Islamic leaders want stigma around mental illness to end

Praising the Sunday Express for its Crusade for better mental health Shaykh Ibrahim Mogra, assistant Secretary-General for the Muslim Council of Britain, said feelings of shame, cultural and religious ignorance and a general lack of physical fitness meant that the rate of mental illness within Muslim communities far exceeded the three per cent national average.

In some quarters the situation was so bad that parents have banned schools from referring to their children as having special educational needs in awards ceremonies because of the perceived stigma involved, or feelings of personal guilt.

“Mental Illness still remains a taboo subject in Muslim communities and people are not seeking the help that is available. This is causing unnecessary distress to themselves and loved ones,” he said.

“Many parents try to keep mental illness with children hidden and under the radar. They don't want anyone to know. Sometimes they feel it's their fault, that as parents they are responsible for their children’s’ conditions. And others might agree.”​

Their women are treated like cattle, of course they are going to be messed up in the head.

The men are even worse. Probably the majority of Muslim men in ME countries engage in homosexual acts with young Muslim boys. Sexually abused and repressed people are very prone to mental issues, that's why the Islamic world is so fucked up everywhere around the world.

There is no indication that they have higher rates of mental illness than non-Muslims. But they still place a heavy stigma on it, and it's largely kept hidden and untreated.

Hey, actually we' re concerned and want to treat it...

I recommend radiation therapy!!!

I'm sure you'd feel right at home in Nazi Germany

You're the one that goes out of her way to defend the most prevelent Jew-hating, homosexual executing ideology on the planet.

Since most Islamist bombers and shooters are in their early 20's, it may be an issue of immature brain development. The brain is not yet fully formed and so irrational hate based motives can more easily be formulated than in a normal mature adult.

Insanity as in Holmes' case in Aurora Colorado could also be an issue, but I tend to think that desperate radicalization by immature males (and occasional females too) is the real problem.

These wacko's will simply need to play out their course until they are all dead themselves.

In the meantime these pin pricks at airports and nightclubs will simply keep playing themselves out too.

Nothing much you can do about it.

A quick clean up and then back to business like the Turks did is probably going to become the model response.

Wherever you screen these bombers is where they are going to blow themselves up and take out others in the same line.

I used to be of that age. My brain was immature and I felt a sense of bravado and was in the Army ready to die for my country. But never once did I relish the thought of throwing homosexuals off roofs, sawing off the head of a coworker, or shooting up a nightclub.

Why is everyone so eager to explain away evil?

Any other questions?"

When a religion and culture doesn't progress and continue living with obsolete ancient customs and beliefs, then they will not compromise with America ways. They make us submit to their Islam nation customs, where our American women must where head scarves and be second class. Islam women may not have rights to vote, in America if their loved ones forbid
this. Even Islam control the Islam women rights in America. Submit!

So for the record Coyote is convinced that all Muslim terrorists are mentally ill. I find it amusing that all of them say and do the exact same things, they justify their crimes against gays and infidels by shouting Allahabad Akbar. So what makes all Muslim terrorists crazy? Is it the religion?

My Opinion:

Most mentally ill people are very religious to start with and combining their religious way of thinking and mental problems usually turn into a blood bath.

Mental illness need to be address but I also fanatical religion should also be focused on because it prey on the weak minded that have mental issues and look to religious guidance but instead get manipulated into believing in all the wrong things and going batshit crazy.

Omar Mateen was nuts and wanted to use his religion to justify his heinous acts against the people of Orlando.

Actually I would like someone to show me one Terrorist that was not mentally ill and when you do then you have taught me a lesson...

 

[WillowTree]

I've spent 5 or 6 years heavily studying the Pisslam, praised-by-Hitler, Jew-extermination, child-fucking, beheading fetish, clitoris-chopping-off hate ideology, I wish I could simply dismiss that odious death-cult bag of garbage as mere mental illness. But it's not; every detail of the Pisslam crybabies is an exercise in Pure. Human. Evil......absolutely PURE!

You have to excuse Coyote. She's one of two generations of women who have been told all their lives that everything is relative, that their will is all that matters, and anybody who doesn't think like they do is not right in the head, and that nothing is their fault...you get the picture. And she, like all those women, romanticizes the shit out of these ruinous minority cultures. In Coyote's world, nobody in their right mind would ever choose to blow people up...she denies it even as it's happening in front of her because she has been taught that when the reality doesn't meet up with the ideology, then it's the reality that is misunderstood. She's been taught that Christians are the devil, and all minorities are noble, and Americans are universally and justifiably despised....having never seen anything or gone anywhere, she doesn't question it. Her experience is limited. So you can understand her spasms when she has to come face to face with the butchery of innocents by the people she champions.

She called you a twat! That was not nice was it?

I used to be of that age. My brain was immature and I felt a sense of bravado and was in the Army ready to die for my country. But never once did I relish the thought of throwing homosexuals off roofs, sawing off the head of a coworker, or shooting up a nightclub.

Why is everyone so eager to explain away evil?
(That last statement not directed at you)

Me too -- I used to be that age also.

And at that age there was no fear of death. Not yet.

Right around my 25th birthday suddenly everything changed in my outlook and things started to make perfect sense. I attribute it to the complete development of the brain at that point.

Suddenly at that point of maturity you start to think more in terms of self preservation and taking care of those whom you love.

That's what I think these radicalized Islamists are lacking -- maturity. Thus while they seem insane they are really brainwashed and immature.

I think the rest of us are trying to understand this Islamist syndrome rather than explain it away.
