The other fascinating insight is the differentiation made by the man in the video, between the sunni and shia on matters of sexuality and sex, the shia method of mitha as described is often maligned but i guess in this context it can seem almost logical. very interesting video, thank you. this was fascinating, i have observed muslim prayers, and enquired as to which surah was used at the prayer, and they like most muslims i have met use the fatiha and the surah al ikhlas to form the bulk of the prayer, this was also true of the prayers i saw pergormed on cnn during the hajj, where they had brief coverage, you can also see it on most sattelitte stations

In the first place, it was a Shiite, the Ayotollah Khomeini, who greatly popularized martyrdom operations in the muslim world. Thousands of Shia Basij volunteers killed themselves in Iran-Iraq War simply to clear minefields. Given what we know about psychology of young men, I'm sure that they would rather have gone out in an exciting terrorist attack than something as pedestrian as land mind clearance. In the second place, I suggest that Koranic induced delusions of persecution are an adequate explanation of all Islamic suicide bombing.

His rules were arbitrary and seem to be based upon his moods, and questioning is not allowed. The pastor often told me that I think too much, and that was a cardinal sin, couched in terms of "pride." He often spoke of the eternal reward while denying life today. Questions were not tolerated. True faith can stand up to scrutiny, false faith cannot so dissent is squashed before it can even begin. And if anyone wonders how religions like Islam come into existance, how a madman, a sociopath, can gather a flock, it's surprisingly easy. Intelligence can actually be a curse in that the more intelligent a person, the greater the fantasy is weaved around the message/messanger. True Believers are often very intelligent. And once you have given up everything for your faith, you become capable of anything to prevent any doubt or crack in the veneer to appear. Suppression of natural human instincts, of rational thought, of logic; creating a mythology to become better than everyone else; a charismatic leader who will tell you what to believe, what to think so you no longer have to. Islamofascists have the same mindset as cult members, as True Believers. Luckily, I got out - I just couldn't turn off my brain, no matter how much easier it would have been to do so. You have no idea how nice it would be to be stupid, to not think, to not question, to follow blindly.
