Pure Strain of Evil
In order to do the required analysis to isolate what was making our "nominally Christian" societies "nominally work" (so that I could also find out what was making the defects of our societies - ie Christian rapists etc - tick), I needed a pure strain of evil - that only Islam, not Buddhism etc, could provide. Without Islam, I simply couldn't have diagnosed the problem. I needed these people to keep attacking so I could bounce questions off them (or their supporters), to find out the underlying genes.
The internet provided the environment for me to access sufficient quantities of evil in order to make the diagnosis.
Anyway, here's a poor guy who has to live amongst it. There are many such people who know the truth in the Middle East. Memri has stacks of them. You can see them for yourself. Just click on "reform".
Anyway, here it is:
In my opinion, we should not describe these people as deviant. This is the product of our culture.
[...]
They are the product of a culture that believes the other does not deserve to live, and is an absolute enemy with whom no understanding is possible.
[...]
There is a fundamental flaw in our culture that leads to this behavior. This ideology, which was advocated by Sayyid Qutb, and which is implemented by those who kill innocent people - women, children, and people who have done nothing wrong - did not emerge out of thin air, but is the product of this culture. This is a one-dimensional culture, a culture of tyranny - tyranny in culture, in politics, in society, in the family, and in everything.
[...]
The "other" does not have to be someone completely different. When we disagree with someone, even over minor iussues regarding ritual purity, we regard him as the "other," we boycott him, we excommunicate him, defame him, level accusations at him, and so on.
Tyranny of course is not quite the right word to be using. An inherent, purely natural (genetic) desire to subjugate - a survival trait not appropriate in the 21st century - but in a modern liberal democracy it has been suppressed - except for the occasional rapist etc.
