AH, //I have said before, that by any definition, a Jihadist is a psychopath.//
And I’ve said before that you’re mistaken. The definition of a psychopath is “a person suffering from chronic mental disorder with abnormal or violent social behaviour.”
These people are not suffering from a mental disorder and it’s a mistake to endow any of them with a mind-set resembling in any way, shape or form, that of the western world. Islam means ‘Submission’ and it is unique for many reasons, not least because it is not simply a religion but a whole way of life. Moreover, its sole purpose is to conquer and control until such time that Islam rules the whole world. Its adherents are required to further that cause in any way available to them, whether that be by entering the political system of non-Islamic nations, feigning friendship by inviting the infidel to the mosque for tea and biscuits, or by killing in the name of Allah, the latter option carrying the ultimate accolade of martyrdom and the promise of a lucrative reward in heaven. Until the west relinquishes its liberal attitude towards Islam and instead takes the trouble to learn and to understand what it is actually facing, it will never defeat it.
