The Top 40

Dr Goldberg has been pointing this out for a long time now. Most of the rage and frustration the Muslim community is feeling is a sense of frustration, humiliation, and cognitive dissonance.

They believe Allah blesses the faithful and punishes the wicked. They believe that the holy man will conquer the wicked and dominate. Except for six centuries, they've been basically everyone's punk. Backward, left behind, easily and repeatedly beaten, they have little to offer the world even though they sit on oceans of oil.

Feeling shame and humiliation (especially in an Arabic culture this is a strong cultural force), they lash out in rage and hate. Their problems cannot POSSIBLY be their fault, it has to be the rest of the world. Its the Jew, its the Great Satan, its evil westerners and their corruption. They blame everyone, everywhere else for their shame. If it wasn't for the clever, evil Joo they would not be so humiliated and ashamed.

Chris, good call. I think we should ease the Muslims' pain by killing as many of them as we can. It is the least we can do.

Sorry to offend whoever, but that is a profoundly Jewish response to a problem of this magnitude: "I know what lets do, lets analyze their motives so everybody will know we were right when they kill us."

This is exactly equivalent to establishing that grizzly bears have some sort of unresolved Mother issues, i.e. not very fuckin useful if you're hiking in Alaska.

And if it wasn't for the Jews and Westerners they would, and are, destroy themselves.

Rob: as ever, you separate the wheat from the chaff. If I might add a clarification in this case: the Israelis, as opposed to "the Jews" are goal oriented.
They care not the motives behind Muslim behavior nor do they heed the opinion of the rest of the world (except in gaining support and money); rather they identify the threat and act accordingly.
It has been submitted that the Muslims have arrested development. They adopted a code of living and a spiritual framework way back in the, um, 700s which included killing all non-Muslims and cherishing suicide and its theoretical reward and they have not deviated from this view.
One might say they are more consistent in their beliefs than Christians but consistency does not imply rightness. Reaction by the non-Muslim world has been and ever should be to meet Muslims on the field of battle and respond to them with the same actions they utilize.
We should consider killing as many Muslims as we are able in as short a time as is feasible to be the winning strategy. The Israelis are doing that and, motives be damned, we need follow their lead. If we choose not to bring troops into the fray we should provide arms and munitions and support.
The mindset of Muslims is like unto feral dogs or rabid wolves. the appropriate response is lethal violence swiftly administered.

Rob, after all the Muzzies are buried up to their necks in sand, then we can sit down and resolve the so called mother issues while plinking at the ones that occasionally move their eyes.

VW: That sounds like a good way to spend some time. A front end loader would finish the work.

The difference between a grizzly and a Muslim is that the Muslim is a human being, and has an innate worth far greater than a bear. Further, knowing your enemy brings understanding and a better way of fighting and stopping them.

Even if you're hunting grizzly you damn well better know what it does and why, or you'll end up mauled or dead.

Compounding the problem of suicidal viciousness, is the Muslim's belief in perpetual torture, after death, for failure to behave as demanded by the Koran and their other authoritative texts/traditions.

Dying in Jihad is sufficient for the Jihadist to not be subject to the 'tortures of the dead' and thus allowing entry to Paradise.
Dying in jihad also provides entry to Paradise for family members upon their death in jihad or otherwise.
These ideas, drilled into children's heads are not easily overcome. The teachers of these murderous ideas must be dealt with in Chasmatic's manner or by being forced to listen to endless loops of our president's speeches -- a suitable means of rehabilitation worse than "adhab al qabar", the tortures of the dead.

When a man's personal or general environment is poor the best way forward, and perhaps the only way, is to improve himself. But the Israelis find themselves in an environment where the more they improve themselves the more they will be hated by the same people already humiliated in their own ineptitude. This can only get worse.

As a Christian, what my friends call a born-again Catholic, I can only ponder the "innate worth" of someone who has chosen to be a vicious killer. It definitely tests my charity to consider Moslems who embrace Jihad, or gangbanger punks in the cities where I've lived.

And turning the other cheek doesn't mean choosing to be a victim, however that is mis-interpreted by lefties.

I'm 'way too beat up to consider hunting bears at this stage, although I've found myself unarmed and on foot more than once in suspiciously bear-y country. My response was exactly what it is to Moslems and gang punks: I'm real hip to their behavior. Their motivation doesn't concern me.

Goldberg's fascination with the motivation of savages is insanity. As much as I acknowledge my debt to Judaism, and to Jews in my life, Goldberg's obsessive intellection is the perfect illustration of why so many Jews vote Left, and feel guilty about seeing the creature Obama for the monster he is.

The "even if you're hunting grizzly you damn well better know...." line is, of course, part of C. Taylor's original response - which is un-italicized due to incautious code-leak on my part.

Pardon.

There is no valid comparison of Grizzlies and Muslims. The only commonality is that both can kill humans. The bear, however, is acting without malice aforethought and in a simple dynamic: a threat to the bear or its territory is expressed as a threat to the bear's food. Nothing more. Sometimes the bear will not attack and kill the human. Google up "bear attacks" so I don't have to write it all here. If someone in the woods has to kill a bear, the bear's family and friends and neighbors will not seek revenge.
The Muslims' motivation is based on following a spiritual framework that was dysfunctional when it was first put forth in, er, the 700s IIRC. It has become less functional in present times. All the horrible traits and actions of Muslims are done on purpose, usually pre-meditated. There is no negotiation or reasoning that will deter them. Death to them, their family, their village, their livestock, the very ground on which they walk is the only and most effective way to remove the threat.

Grizzlies are pretty surly, they aren't about protecting territory, they just like beating the crap out of anything that gets near them or looks different. Most bears are shy, not so the grizzly.

But Muslims are not bears. They are people, fellow human beings. Misguided, confused, misled, even wicked and sinful human beings. The desire to dehumanize or reduce the worth of your enemy is, I suppose, a useful device in time of war, but its not right.

Understanding what makes them tick isn't about excuses or leftist ideology, its about curiosity. Goldberg does a good job pulling this apart not because he's obsessed with feelings or excessively Jewy or some other slight, but because he's curious and wonders why.

Wrong, Mr. Taylor. They are quite different, and from the womb. Islam is a reflection of their makeup, not a cause. Stanley Kurtz has written extensively on this. Goldberg is no Kurtz. Goldberg is a putz.
