Supernatural 'Jinn' Seen as Cause of Mental Illness Among Muslims

It may be common for psychiatric patients who are Muslim to attribute their hallucinations or other symptoms to "jinn," the invisible, devilish creatures in Islamic mythology, researchers in the Netherlands have found.

The findings demonstrate one way in which culture may influence how people perceive their psychotic symptoms, and could help Western psychiatrists better understand patients who have an Islamic background.

Moreover, in today's connected world, patients may fuse the symbols from their own backgrounds with those of other cultures to explain their symptoms, study leader Dr. Jan Dirk Blom, an assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of Groningen, told Live Science.

Centuries of inbreeding!

I’m thinking it has more to do with stunted sexual expression.

If ya can believe a guy just walked off into the sky

And had a nine year old bride

Yeah, who knows what set him off..

Inspired by ‘Allah’?

Yep, that’s been their problem (and ours) for 1,400 years, which is why the West, when it had a brain, a faith and a civilization (Western) to defend, kept these cavemen in their respective hell holes. It’s only been the past 40-50 years that we’ve been foolish, naive or just plain stupid enough to let them in our countries. Sorry to say, they will not assimilate; they will have to be deported or destroyed, the sooner the better, I prefer the first option, easily, but am not convinced they will easily go nor will our internal enemies agree. They’d rather commit civilizational suicide then appear bigoted or racist. As far as I’m concerned, we have a civilization worth saving and defending from these muslim hordes, and if their “fellow travelers” (liberals, leftists, marxists, anti-semites, etc.) want to commit suicide, let me help them.

I bet this has a lot to do with it..

More evidence of the effects of the Islamist practice of generations of consanguineous marriages. There is no negotiations when the enemy (a minority of Muslims) have an army of "zombies" made willingly malleable by mental and physical birth defects from inbreeding. And many of the abusers are simply nuts.

I am flummoxed to understand the reluctance to make this central to our relations with the Islamist enemy and to make shame be upon them.

". . . close to ninety percent [of suicide bombers] were suffering from severe illness such as blindness, cancer, missing limbs or leprosy . . . being physically handicapped or mentally retarded often leads to exclusion . . . and becoming a martyr might be the only chance of achieving social recognition and honour — if not just a way to end the pain of being socially isolated (which is especially traumatizing in collectivist cultures like Islam). . . People with low intelligence (because of inbreeding) might also be easier to brainwash with fundamentalist Islam."

[from Internet sources] What causes some Muslims to become Islamists?

I have often wondered what is the core problem? Is it poverty? Tyrannical, brutal, corrupt leaders? Hopelessness? What?

Well the essence just may be the very same thing that damaged European royal families: inbreeding; to wit, centuries of Islamism's practice of consanguineous marriages.

Global prevalence of consanguinity

Coincidence? I don't think so.

Fie on you!! I was going to post the same remark. You’re guilty of telepathic plagiarism!

This takes a while to set up. If you’re very impatient, go to 1:30 mark where it really starts.

All it takes is a girl dressed in white to make them fall to pieces. Kind of hard to have any fear of them at all.

[Jack Hydrazine]

The Israelis have proved that time and time again.

Great minds think alike, eh?

[bunkerhill7]

In Indonesia, the jinn live in the trees.

One of them Indo jinns done moved from a tree to The White House.

Many of us on this thread. The extent of telepathic plagiarism is awe-inspiring, so much so I can’t even find a real culprit..

[miss marmelstein]

Add in inbreeding as well.
