I resent your success. I hate you and your kind. So I bomb you

The tendency to resent lies in all of us

And in America that tendency is institutionalized in the rat party.

I will fight for you, said the algore, meaning: resent anyone making more money than you.

We need to end the tax giveaway to the richest 1%, says the hildebeast, meaning: resent anyone making more money than you.

The Left and the Terrorists have a great deal in common.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Resentment and envy. The two formative planks in the Donk platform.

[Tijeras_Slim]

It's easier to hate than work.

[Mark was here]

This discipline lies at the heart of Christianity and many argue that it lies at the heart of Islam too.

The argument that Islam is about peace and love is a deceitful tactic by those who carry the torch for Islam. It may be argued but it is a blatant lie.

Forgive faults in others? I think it has gone way beyond that. A group hug is not what they are looking for.

[TADSLOS]

The tendency to resent lies in all of us, and can be overcome only by a discipline that tells us to blame faults in ourselves and to forgive faults in others. This discipline lies at the heart of Christianity and many argue that it lies at the heart of Islam too. If that is so, it is time for Muslims to organise against those who preach resentment in the name of their religion, and who regard the crimes of last Thursday as virtuous deeds, performed with God’s blessing, in a holy cause.

I don't see this happening unless the western world can come up with some way to de-program a massive amount of koranic koolaid drinkers in a relatively short period of time.

I don’t say that Nietzsche’s analysis is correct.

Freud thought it was correct...and Einstein agreed. That's good enough for me.

[PeteB570]

I have made that point a number of times.

It is hard to toil every day for your family. No glory.

Terrorists and thugs beat up the helpless, are adored by many admirers, are supported by illegal money and are hero's in their own minds.

For some it is an easy choice to make.

The notion that Islam will instill this type of discipline is a pipe dream. Maybe 500 years from now Islam will have watered down its ideology allowing this to happen. Maddraass (sp?) around the world are teaching Muslim children to hate your enemies; telling me it is going to worsen for a while.

Perhaps the only thing they will understand at some point is an Old Testament response. Utterly destroy them!!

There are too few of them, or too few willing to stand up. Just as there were too few "good Germans" to stand up against being consumed by Hitler's Nazism....for those who think a large number of people cannot be led to murderous raging extremist revenge against their "victim hood" .... or passive acceptance of such extremism's by others...in a short, very short time.

"Moderate muslims" who "speak up" are those who are having fatwas pronounced against them and their families, throats slit, bodies bombed and burned. "Moderate muslims" are those such as the majority of Iraqi civilians the Pelosi/Kerry/Dean wing of the democrat party is urging American to cut loose and withdraw from.

"religion of peace" --- not. Not without a serious reformation and I see little chance of that happening before a great world conflagration led by the rebellious and courageous of all beliefs. That is why the "religion of peace" is so threatened by the Pope. God help him.

Islam has been around for 1400 years. Why will an additional 500 years make a difference?

I think Allah is Satan. I think Mohammad was a dupe. I think Islam is a tool of the Devil, intended to corrupt the world and move people away from God. Peace and Love are not part of Islam. It is a destructive force. A tool of evil.

"The notion that Islam will instill this type of discipline is a pipe dream. Maybe 500 years from now Islam will have watered down its ideology allowing this to happen."

Never Ever Going To Happen!!!!!

The five pillars of Islam..... murder, bestiality, terrorism, cowardice and abuse of women and children.

Know islam, no peace; No islam, know peace!

The Pope was correct in his quote...."Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus

[Chewie84]

" I think Islam is a tool of the Devil, intended to corrupt the world and move people away from God."
Also to spread destruction and chaos, and kill off God's children for petty reasons.

[Fraulein]

Nietzsche and Freud have very little, if anything, in common, regardless of what Freud says. If anything, it's a misunderstanding, a misinterpretation, or else a flat-out lie on Freud's part.

[Ditter]

>>I think Allah is Satan etc.">>>

Right on brother I am in full agreement.

[Battle Axe]

Did any one catch the comment at the very end of the Hannity and Combs show by Combs??

The idiot defended Islam as the religion of PEACE. I do not think he was being sarcastic...please tell me he was.

[liberallarry]

Success breeds resentment, and resentment breeds hate.

The article identifies the above as Neitzsche's observation. Google the "Einstein Freud letters (or correspondence)" and you'll find that Freud made the same observation (although phrased differently) when Einstein questioned him about the possibility of permanent peace.
