Islam as mental illness?
Hmmm… As someone who has dealt with chemical imbalances leading to depression and anxiety over the years, I’m not sure I want my own personal brand of crazy to be lumped in with Islam. Though when I think about it, wouldn’t you have to be crazy to subscribe to such a lark of a faith?
Attorneys for an Orchard Park man accused of beheading his wife want to pursue a psychiatric defense.
They’re asking the courts to give their client, 44-year-old Muzzammil Hassan, access to his bank accounts to pay for experts.
Investigators said Hassan beheaded his wife, Aasiya, in February of 2009.
In addition, he’s apparently suffering the ravages of Islamophobia.
Since we’re on the subject of various forms of madness, let’s look once again at the word “islamophobia”, shall we?
A phobia is an irrational fear - like of non-poisonous spiders, open spaces, enclosed spaces, or the number 13 (treskidekaphobia).
Islam indoctrinates its followers to run around the globe murdering people. Examples are September 11, Ecole Polytechnique, gay bashing in the Netherlands, the stoning of women in Somalia… the list goes on.
So is the fear of Islam really all that irrational? And if not, is there such a thing as “islamophobia”, since any fear of Islam is based in rational reasoning?
How about the “rioting” in Nigeria-stan over the weekend? The riots involved Muslims raiding Christian villages at 3AM and beheading people with machetes. The APee calls that “rioting.”

Come on. Be serious. Some one that beheaded his wife must be perfectly sane. I mean how much more rational can one get?

There is a diversity of memes out there similar to yours: the all christians are insane meme, the all non-socialists are insane meme, and so on. Of course, anything the leftists do not like is vilified and insane and bad. Since the leftists have infiltrated the media, academia, and bureaucracy (being aristocrats and attracted to a high paying, low effort lifestyle, this is where they go), there is no press, research, or action on these sorts of outrages that you speak of.
None the less, the word gets out. The people, the working class, has turned against these aristocrats. In time, there will be a breaking point, a tipping point, and the people, the working class will turn on all things leftist. Which is unfortunate, as the small problems could have been solved with small effort. Now we will, instead, have a large problem and a big effort to solve it.
The pendulum swings fast and hard, as my boss used to say.

Thank God YOU’VE decided to pick up on the since buried Orchard Park beheading case, RG!. This lurid tale disappeared from the MSM almost before it appeared. Immediately the act was characterized as one of insanity, the long tradition of “honor killings” and other Islamic justice methods quickly dismissed. Yet another in a string of unrelated “isolated incidents”.
Incredible that the doors still remain wide open, immigration an absolute free-for-all. What’s it going to take, to wake people up?

Over 500 people slaughtered in nigeria, mostly women and children, simply because they weren’t muslim. This event barely made the headlines here in Europeistan.

Ecole Polytechnique?
Come on Wendy, get a grip. Marc Lepine was out of the clutches of his father at age seven and raised Catholic. And on top of that, his brutal old man was an atheist.
