Islam’s Poisonous Projections onto Infidels

The reason so many “radical” Muslims target innocent “infidels” is often based on projection.

The recent execution of a Christian man by Muslim terrorists in Sinai showcased a little-known but interesting fact: the reason so many “radical” Muslims target innocent “infidels” is often based on projection, a word defined as “the attribution of one’s own ideas, feelings, or attitudes to other people.” One academic article/book chapter elaborates: “Projection allows the killer to project his (unacceptable) desire to kill (torture, rape, steal, dominate, etc.) onto some target group or person. This demonizes his target, making it even more acceptable to kill.”

Thus, in the April 17, 2021 video of the execution of Nabil H. Salama, a 62-year-old Christian, the Islamic State narrator suggested that he was guilty of and being killed for building a church in Sinai that was somehow engaged in nefarious activities meant to subvert the Islamic order -- precisely what many mosques do in and to the West.

Similarly, after the Islamic State slaughtered 20 Egyptian and one Ghanaian Christian on the shores of Libya in 2015, it made a video portraying its actions as “revenge” against the Coptic Church, which ISIS and other “radicals” regularly accuse of kidnapping, torturing, and forcing Muslim women to convert to Christianity -- all things Muslims regularly do to Christians in Egypt. (Apparently the killing of nearly 60 Christians in a Baghdad church a few years earlier -- which the jihadis then also portrayed as revenge against the Coptic Church’s forced conversion of Muslim women -- was not enough).

When a Muslim cleric said that “whenever they [U.S.] invade a Muslim country, they strike on a Sunday. Always,” he too was projecting. Muslim mob uprisings against Christians and their churches, in and out of Egypt, are almost always on Fridays

Islam and Communism share the same faults and always end in genocide.

Islam has “inshalla”, Allah will provide.
Islam is on a journey to a perfect world. When the World is not perfect, it cannot be the fault of their Moon God.
Therefore, it must be the infidel blocking the way to a perfect World.
Therefore, this is how Allah wants us to conduct ourselves.

From Leon Uris, The Haj he basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and the tribe against the world. And all of us against the infidel.
