Wakey, Wakey: Understanding The Islamic Mindset, Part 1

By Audrey Russo / 27 April 2014



“We are raising in a generation of young Americans who are by and large historically illiterate…it’s a very sad situation.” — David McCullough

It’s true that education is not a panacea, as we were able to see with WWII Germany having the highest educated populace in the world at that time. But in a world replete with venal influences…ignorance of those entities is a perilous place to be.

As America has encountered difficult times in her past and has been struck by outside enemies before 9-11, no attack has revealed the dangerous state of ignorance that now renders us vulnerable beyond being borderless, than Sept. 11th.

Sun Tzu, the great Chinese military strategist once said, “If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself.”
Our country has reached this point. We have a population that does not know its history, and is woefully ignorant to the mindset of our ardent enemies.
This spells disaster any way you look at it.

Knowing the Islamic mindset will enable us to comprehend our foes and to know what to expect from our adversaries in Muslim regimes (and their ilk).
They do NOT think as we do. They are weaned on a festering fare…and the result of that nutrition is NOT benign…

Individual Choice/Free Will:
Islam is not simply a religion. It cannot be practiced separate from the culture. It IS the culture, and its iron fist dictates every move a Muslim makes. From what they eat and with what hand they eat it…to what hand they use in their lavatory hygiene. It does NOT allow its followers to think for themselves, but dictates every aspect of life. There is NO autonomy.
But Islam micro-manages much more than that…

Equality:
Looking for equality under the law? Not under Allah’s law (Sharia Islamic Law). If you happen to be a woman or a child, good luck gaining equal worth to a Muslim man. Women and children are chattel in the eyes of Islam. Infidels (unbelievers) can NEVER be treated with respect simply because they do not believe in Allah and his self-proclaimed prophet.
If you happen to be “people of the Book’”…aka Jews or Christians…you are ever in Islamic crosshairs. Disdain to the point of slaughter is not unthinkable in Muhammed’s economy. Congenial relationships with infidels is forbidden, for the good Muslim.
In other words: There’s no place for T-Ball in Islamic culture…

Compromise:
No compromise, if it involves dealing with infidels. If Muslims agree to compromise with unbelievers, they are practicing Taqiyya (deception). And if the infidel compromises…it is viewed as weakness to be conquered. A good example of this is the “truce” or hudna that the Palestinian Authority has called numerous times with Israel. It’s based upon the treaty of Hudaybiyya that Muhammed made with the Quraysh tribe, which controlled Mecca at the time. Muhammad agreed to a hudna or “truce” that was to last for ten years. After two years Muhammad became strong enough to defeat the Quraysh, so he broke the treaty on a pretext and conquered Mecca. Muhammad set the example, and since that time the language of a hudna between Muslims and non-Muslims became code for a pause in the fighting that Muslims can use to build up their strength, then break at a strategic moment.
And we’re just scratching the surface. Their mindset is based upon the Quran and the Hadiths (the traditions of the prophet)…and EVERYONE must submit to these books.

Just a reminder… Islam MEANS submission.

Wakey, Wakey: Understanding The Islamist/Middle East Mindset, Part 2

By Audrey Russo / 30 April 2014





“Terrorists know more about America, than America knows about them. These [Terrorists] are people who have lived in America, they have studied America, they know how the media works, they know how the psyche works….they know how we function, so they are more efficient in fighting. We don’t know them and that’s a very big problem. Ignorance is very dangerous now.”
–Marianne Pearl, widow of Daniel Pearl (Journalist beheaded by terrorists)

They know us better than we know ourselves. That’s a dangerous place to be if the “they” are our enemies. And in the case of our current and most accessible enemy, Jihadists …“they” are.

Since well before the Muslim terror attacks of 9-11, Islamists have been studying us. Our ways, our thoughts, our ideology…and most of all: Our vulnerabilities.

And those vulnerabilities can easily be exploited if we continue to view their words and deeds through Western values.
Integrity:
We value truthfulness in our agreements with other nations and peoples. But entering into a treaty with those of the Islamic ideology would be a dangerous endeavor for anyone in the West. This due to the fact that integrity is not a shared value with Islamists. They are permitted, and do, lie to infidels in the West for the sake of Islam and Allah (Taqiyya). If we were to look at the Israel-Palestinian conflict, we would see proof that the Muslim side, the Palestinian Authority (PA), have not honored one agreement they have made with the “West in the Middle East’” or Israel.

Family Values:
There is a growing population of Islamists who believe it is an honor to send their sons to die for Allah…as they kill infidels. A study done at Monash University in Australia found the pattern is in keeping with studies of Fatah, Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Turkish terrorists, which revealed that about one in five involved individuals were direct kin, while seven in 10 were close friends as youths.
The mother of a suicide bomber said in an interview: “I am a compassionate mother to my children,… Because I love my son, I encouraged him to die a martyr’s death for the sake of Allah… Jihad is a religious obligation incumbent upon us, and we must carry it out. I sacrificed Muhammad as part of my obligation. This is an easy thing.”

A bizarre and disturbing statement that displays the antithesis of Western thought.

How many think this way?:
Various stats have affirmed that only 7-10% of the Muslim world is radical. But with an estimated 1.3 billion following Allah…that would give us about 100-150 million radicals…and growing. The 90-93% that will not behead us, support their brethren in silence. What exacerbates the situation is the high illiteracy rate, coupled with a draconian government with its tentacles enveloping every aspect of the culture with an iron umbilical cord, from the Quran, wrapped around the throat of every citizen: Muslim or Dhimmi (infidel living under Islamic rule).

It is fair to say that, aside from Israel, a general anti-West mindset is endemic to the Middle East (as well as other Islamic nations). And when the West finally assimilates this, we will be on the road to victory over tyranny…for as Thomas Jefferson once said: “Educate and inform the whole mass of the people…They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.”
