Combating The Cult Of Islamo-Fascism

The sooner Western civilization recognizes that extreme cultism is what fuels the twisted, faith-based terrorism of Islamo-Fascism, the sooner it will get down to the dirty business of waging all-out war on this blight that’s spreading across our planet.

Cultism conjures up the image of brainwashing. Justly so, as brainwashing leads people to adopt rigid ideologies and then behave in robotic fashion. Cultists lose their judgment skills, which leads to actions and viewpoints that are programmed, automatic and unreceptive to dialogue and debate. A cultist is blind to the “other,” and cannot see past his nose.

Many people are members of cults or engage in cult-like behaviors that cause no harm to themselves or anyone else. Extremist cults, by contrast, pose grave threats because they almost always exhibit three distinct behaviors antithetical to all civilizations and to the very fabric of society. In these dangerous forms of cultism, you will find (a) destructive views on human sexuality; (b) hostile, manipulative, or exploitative relationships with children; and (c) counter-evolutionary attitudes about death and dying.

These cult-driven perspectives negate the basic and enduring human life cycle, which for thousands of years of civilization has comprised a lifestyle revolving around finding a mate, reproducing, creating a family environment to insure survival of the offspring, facing the inevitable, and then renewing the cycle. Cultists attack and alter these relationships to enhance their infusion of a doctrinaire mindset into susceptible individuals.

Debasing of Human Sexuality. Extreme cultists often engage in aberrant sexual activities or subjugating behavior toward women. These include multiple sexual or marital partners, sadomasochism, misogyny, and gender apartheid, to name a few.

By denigrating the status of women, cults degrade human sexuality, thereby debasing the family structure within the human life cycle. The epitome of this bizarre behavior is the fanatical teaching of male Muslim children (among extremist sects) that women – the very bearers of children – are worthless or valueless.

Exploitation of Children. Children of cultists are often programmed from an early age to receive the ideological imprint, making it much easier to manipulate and exploit them. But worse, the parent-cultist will actually sacrifice the child’s life in the name of the cult. In recent times, suicide bombers in the Middle East appear to be dropping in age.

In a foiled attempt to blow up multiple airlines en route from England to the U.S., one woman intended to bring her children on a “test-run” flight. And we know that in the Palestinian territories children are taught to “practice” suicide bombing and celebrate imaginary acts of this diabolical violence.

Children are the ultimate goal of civilization. Nothing endures in this world unless you first bring children into it and foster their development to carry on the tradition. Our world starts with children, and the world renews itself continuously through sustained efforts to insure their safety, security, and survival.

Islamo-Fascism negates this central factor of civilization by sacrificing the lives of children for an ideology of hatred and zealotry, and the brainwashing is so effective that many children rabidly support the very Jihazis who would send them to an early grave.

Mortality Glorification. Most civilizations have great respect for death because of its universality, inevitably, and the awe or fear it brings. All people will know death, and throughout the stages of our lives most of us witness the various ways humans die among our friends, our family, and others in our community.

As a clear example of a natural response to death and dying, consider that most soldiers in the midst of combat do not profess a state of utter fearlessness. Just the opposite – most engaged in warfare feel fear and anxiety about what lies ahead. This is a sign of emotional intelligence, as the individual remains alert to make wise choices in battle. Islamo-Fascists view death as a perverse answer to the age-old question “What is the meaning of life?”

Instead of attending to the more difficult responsibility of facing the challenges of a living world, the terrorist indulges in a ritual of martyrdom with the intention of being rewarded for doing so – with one reward (e.g., special virgins) apparently continuing the subjugation of women in the afterlife.

For the Islamo-Fascist, death is the ultimate goal.

These perversions of the human life cycle are frequently embedded within extremist cults. The cult leaders use these perverted perspectives to break down natural relationships between men and women, parents and children, individuals and their Creator. Once these are broken, it is much easier to control and manipulate cult members.

Instead of directly seeking land, economic advantage, or wealth and resources, the cult leader negates the human life cycle and causes cult members to be guided by these corrupt principles: women must be controlled, children must be exploited or sacrificed, and death is to be welcomed. Once cultism takes root, the group then expands its ambitions, usually for nefarious aims.

It is not out of the ordinary for extreme versions of cultism to lead to self-annihilation, but if the cult grows too large, its destructive energy is increasingly directed outward. At that point, it is not something to bargain with. No negotiations will tame, mollify, or reverse the jaded thinking of cultists. On an individual basis, some cultists can be deprogrammed. But when the cult grows sufficiently powerful, it represents an extreme threat to its host society, and, as we now see, a serious threat to civilization itself.

Extremist cults of this nature and scope should be feared, measured, and then reckoned with. Lamentably or not, the proper reckoning can only be an all out assault on the cult leaders and those cult members so brainwashed as to believe that death is in their self-interest.

We must help these cultists who seek this malevolent, anti-human destiny to attain it as quickly as is humanly possible.
