At some point, they feel sorry for themselves, persecuted both personally and as a religion...and of course, it's somebody else's fault -- the West, the Great Satan, Israel or all three. The clue seems to be that they feel excluded, alone, separate from society, denied what others have. That this is self-imposed paranoia doesn't matter. They look around, see progress, modernity, vast quantities of everything the Arab world lacks, and they erupt in rage. God (Allah), forbid they blame the obvious suspects: Islam, mullahs, Arab leaders. They tell themselves that 1.8 billion Arabs can't be wrong. Clearly, they are, and we should think of it as a cargo cult gone bad. (The plane that brings goodies from above.)

God and "allah" do not mean the same thing. "Allah is the NAME of the Islamic Ilah(god). You should get into the habit of correcting this error western journalists perposely make.

Islam brainwashes Muslims and by definition is a cult. Five times a day they have to stop whatever they're doing and bow to Allah. Every single thing they do is covered by a rigid set rules(even toilet etiquette is covered), so where is there time for original thought or common sense? We're at war -- it's Nazism all over again. So called moderate Muslims, co-workers or neighbors in the West, have friends and family back home subject to reprisals, so shouldn't ever be trusted. That network of spies does exist, the corner mosque, mullahs, visitors or immigrants from the M.E., all should be viewed with extreme caution. Nobody's going to protect this country but us, and we'd better get serious.

That is a common misconception about the definition of a cargo cult. The word comes from the Spanish and means "to bear". Hence, a cargo cult is one in which adherents willingly take upon themselves burdens and responsibilities in order to attain a higher level or rank within the cult.
