ISIS Penetration in the West
Submitted by Charles Knighton
Mr. Matthew Farley cites the alienation of youth (February 22 Sunday Sun) as the major factor in the decision of so many to flock to the ranks of ISIS, and I am sure such feelings of alienation play a part. But alienation in itself does not explain the well documented phenomenon of the rise in recruitment following the posting on social media of every act of barbarity committed by ISIS.
ISIS jihadis boast online of enslaving Christian and Yazidi women. Others decapitate “infidels” and celebrate with tweets of themselves holding up severed heads. Such gleeful savagery is not purely the product of alienation or religious fanaticism.
Western intelligence experts say ISIS appears to be attracting mentally ill young men who thrill at the idea of rampaging across Middle Eastern lands like a vast gang of psychopaths, raping women and killing people for pleasure. ISIS’s Western recruits are mostly men in their late teens and early 20s—the age group of most mass murderers and gang members, and the years in which mental illness is often first observed in males.
For young men who have failed to fit into society in Great Britain, the U.S. or other Western countries, Islam may be just a vehicle for nihilistic rage. Joining the “brothers” on the front lines of jihad provides exactly what they’ve been missing most: revenge on the world that rejected them, along with a sense of greater purpose and meaning. ISIS is so deranged, in fact, that its taste for blood even alarms other Islamic terrorists.

Unlike you we see nothing special about the humanoid. More precisely, we would invert your Christian model and say than what you call wild animals are better than humans, by far, as a studied conclusion!
We know well your concept of continuous improvement. That could only happen by destroying all other life forms like we are currently doing. So we are killing ourselves and our supporting life systems by obeying your Christian ethic. How smart is that?
We do not recognize any human behaviour which differentiates us, positively, from your ‘wild animals’. But we recognize ‘wild animal’ behaviours which separates them from us. The ‘best’ of humans are indeed the wildest of all wild animals. How mature is it to have destroyed the environment, caused climate change and so on. ‘Wild animals’ never behave like that!
30 years ago we were in India with the people who were wearing dread locks hundreds of years before Rasta. Of course they borrowed it from the Africans, their ancestors. We’ve spent time with the peoples of the Kalahari and the Amazon whose social systems would not measure up to your exalted Judea-Christian, choking collar and tie, ethos. We met the people of Alaska who sometimes do not bathe for months, at a time, during winter. Are these not worthy to met your wicked god! Or are their gods less worthy than the mighty great White hope of a Christian god!
We are deeply disappointed that an otherwise good mind, that is yours, could be so biased against a social construction which is not based on the world you have come to see. We don’t see that world and never shall. Tell your god we shall never recognize him regardless of the consequences.

All that you are doing is letting Ross know that you have no idea what “improvement” means as it relates to the human condition.
Your inability to see the difference between humans and wild animals is another admission of your short-comings… in PARTICULAR, you miss the difference that allows a human to CHOOSE to create clean, productive, socially positive environments and to be continually be seeking to be a better and better human being, neighbor, and citizen.
Bushie has seen things in India too….many that the bushman would prefer to forget, …far less seek to emulate….
There …we have another desirable difference …. the ability to THINK FOR ONE’S SELF….unlike the herd instinct to do what 9th Century Africans may have initiated.
We don’t see that world and never shall.

Probably correct, and this is to your great loss…
Tell your god we shall never recognize him regardless of the consequences.

And you are also letting Bullen Robert Ross know that your conception of cleanliness does not extend to ablutions. Meaning that residue of fecal matter maybe following you. For that is your Christian conception of cleanliness, the use of paper, the transfer urine to females, etc!
‘Wild animals’ choose clean, productive, wholesome, positive environments all the time as well. People learnt these from the very ‘wild animals’.
We do not miss the difference between your ‘wild animals’ and humans. We prefer and are always on the side of the ‘wild animals’. We think that humans are the worst of all the animals. Do not support your creation mythologies.
We are not particularly persuaded that an ability to think for one’s self has any particular usefulness in the service of the mass or even the thinker.
This idea of some master designer is yet to be proven. It rightly belongs within the realm of the metaphysical. Beyond that it has no practical value!

New element
Oxford University researchers have discovered the heaviest element yet known to science. The new element, Governmentium (symbol=Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.
These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called pillocks. Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact.
A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete. Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2 to 6 years. It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganisation in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.
In fact, Governmentium’s mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganisation will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.
This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as a critical morass. When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium (symbol=Ad), an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium, since it has half as many pillocks but twice as many morons.

Again, ANY Muslim converting to the philosophies of ISIS is not difficult as ISIS is all part of their fundamental beliefs.”
Nice to see you back on the blog, “Dear” Lemuel.
So what are you Christian fundamentalists going to do about such Islamic extremist encroachment on your once hallowed places adorned with Chi-rho symbols and Piscean rituals signaling the beginning and the end of the ‘Jesus’ era?
What are you going to do when your fast disappearing houses of fable and magic are bought over and turned into Islamic houses of more recent fable and magic to subjugate females and train young boys how to become brave soldiers, not to join the army of Christ, but to fight for Allah in the raging battle in the heavens to kill off Yahweh.
What are you going to do when these same ‘Islamists’ demand from your corruptible politicians and politically correct ‘Islamophile’ Authorities the removal of offensive (un-Islamic) Christian symbols from schools (and workplaces especially government departments) which their “bright” children attend (and work in) only to be replaced with a special room where these specially blessed and chosen children can submit themselves to Allah during the day while wearing the hijab and niqab.
Remember, Lemuel, these same communities know nothing called birth control and by your God’s laws of procreation (be fruitful and multiply) it’s just a matter of time before the average Bajan will be speaking Arabic and reciting the Quran.
But, Lemuel ,you can always change your Christian views and convert to Islam to avoid a beheading in your old age the same way you have changed your views about the ‘decriminalization’ of marijuana seeing that, the once maligned and despised innocent plant made by your God, now has a new champion in Freundel Stuart.

In the same way that young Catholic men,and boys,in Northern Ireland were being enveloped by the IRA. And I’ve got this feeling that we will be seeing , not only middle class, but also more young black persons , especially from Europe and the Unites States signing on to ISIS. When they see Europeans singing racists songs, and mouthing racists slogans, and pushing innocent black men off a public train, or seeing a dirt poor and rejected Eastern European abusing and asking a black man on a public transport to not sit in front of her, or seeing unarmed blacks being killed by policemen in the United States, then ISIS in their view is the better of the two evils.
