Muslim communities must face up to bad apples : Comments

By Tanveer Ahmed, published 15/8/2014

This is outlined by Danish psychologist Nicolai Sennell's groundbreaking work visiting Muslim criminals in jail, where he makes reference to the Arab notion of 'holy anger', which is completely foreign to English.

SPQR,

LOL, you mean the contradictory and compartmentalised thinking of the politically correct?

OTB
"thinking" may not be the right word to use in that context

“And I'm equally not sure that we are in any position to judge the religion – unless we've spent years studying it.”

I don’t think we need to study a particular religion to know that it has no redeeming qualities at all. You do not have to study any religion at all. You have to study human behaviour. This can bring you to a conclusion that religious behaviour is fundamentally neurotic and all theological discussion is merely an argument about the best way to rationalise neurotic behaviour to questioners. Religious beliefs are not opinions they are just ways of trying to explain the irrational behaviour that religious people practice.

Whilst extremist behaviour may be the province of only a small minority you have to question where that behaviour came from and there is a very good chance that it is a result of non-extremist religious people who have abused their children and forced them to adopt such practices. People do not become extremist in a vacuum or overnight. It is a product of their life experiences and if that involves things like being beaten for not following religious practice as a child then you have to lay the blame at the feet of religion and those who practice it.

Point taken.

Correction:

My "contradictory and compartmentalised thinking of the politically correct"

should have read,

"contradictory and compartmentalised dogmatism of the politically correct".

Foxy said,

"Not sure if we can lump all Muslims into
the one group ....".

As Muslims are followers of Muhammad and the Koran then they can all be lumped together, they do have have their differences but not about the Divine inspiration of their Book, nor that Muhammad was chosen by Allah.

The message of Muhammad advocates violence.
The message of Christ advocates peace.
