"It's called Brainwashing - ISLAM IS NOT A RELIGION IT'S A CULT! Every Cult brainwashes you into believe what they want you to believe!"

I guess you are gonna think I'm naive but I've always had a hard time believing that a cult could start with a perfectly normal person and get them to believe totally unbelievable things. When I was younger I used to wonder about picking a cult to join to prove I couldn't be brainwashed.

Of course, I'd also like to try to resist waterboarding so I may not be normal. I've read that most agents who experience it for training can't last 30 seconds even though intellectually they know there is no danger.

What evidence do you have that he was perfectly normal before he became an Islamicist?

EVERY cult begins with normal people and then gets them to believe what no normal person would believe. In truth, all religions have at one point or another spawned cults who turned normal people into kool-aid drinkers. Christianity included. But Islam is reading its kool-aid right out of the book! I am not surprised that some Muslims believe that bin Laden had nothing to do with 9/11. Believe me, there are plenty of Muslims that believe he did and are cheering for another one. No doubt many Imams tell their (American) flocks that Islam is peace and it is impossible for Muslims to do any of these bad things. I would expect nothing less.

The Koran and its prophet were the forerunners of Nazism. The Koran is to Mohamed and his followers what Mein Kampf and Hitler were to the Nazis.

Having read both thoroughly, I can say with some authority that both works rely on the same formula. HATE. It is easy to control and influence people when you can givie them an object of hate for all of their problems, and thereby offer them a vision of paradise to be achieved when the object of their hate is eliminated.

It has nothing to do with brain-washing. It is simple human psychology. The Koran gives would-be follower plenty of hooks to hang their hate and anxiety upon, and then tells them they are right for doing so, and also right if they destroy what they hate. Same as Mien Kampf.

Ideology and religion operate on faith.
