Eveniment

This piece by David Gutmann is one of the best psychological analyses of SHAME and the Arab PSYCHE I have read, and because it deals with something so critically important, I am going to quote a rather large excerpt:

The Arab world is suffering a crisis of humiliation.
Their armies are routed not only by Americans, but also by tiny, Jewish Israel;

and as Arthur Koestler once remarked, the Arab world has not, in the last 500 years or so, PRODUCED much besides rugs, dirty postcards, elaborations on the belly-dance esthetic (and, of course, some innovative TERRORIST practices).

They have NO SCIENCE to speak of, NO ART, hardly ANY INDUSTRY save oil, vVERY LITTLE LITERATURE, and portentous MUSIC which consists largely of LUGOBRIOUS SONGS celebrating the SLAUGHTER of Jews.

NOW that the Arabs have acquired national consciousness, and they compare their societies to other nations, these deficiencies become PAINFULLY EVIDENT, particularly to the upper-class Arab KIDS who attend foreign universities.

There they learn about the accomplishments of Christians, Jews, (Freud, Einstein, for starters) and women.

And yet, with the exception of Edward Said, there is scarcely a contemporary Arab name in the bunch.

NO WONDER, then, that major RECRUITMENT to al-Qaeda' s ranks takes place among Arab university students.

And NO WONDER that suicide bombing becomes their tactic of choice: it is a LAST-ditch, desperate way of asserting at least one scrap of superiority—a spiritual superiority—over the materialistic, life-hugging, and ergo SHAMEFUL West.

But this TACTIC is not, I suggest, a PRODUCT of Islam.
Rather, it is a product of the BRUISED Arab PSYCHE.

Remember that the Japanese also turned to suicide tactics in WWII to evade the humiliation of defeat.

Though their religion was SHINTO rather than Muslim, they too constituted a PARADIGM SHAME/ HONOR culture, and defeat brought about, as with the Arabs, a furiously suicidal / homicidal response.

After their armies had been defeated, their fleets sunk, their cities set aflame, and their home islands invaded, they launched the kamikaze bomber offensive, thereby committing a hi-tech form of HARA - KIRI, their usual remedy against INTOLERABLE SHAME.

It is in this way that the modern Arab world resembles the Japan of World War II. In both cases it is NOT RELIGIOUS but PSYCHICS wounds, the wounds inflicted by defeat and evident INFERIORITY, that INSPIRE suicide bombers.

NOTA: ERGO, CLERUL ISLAMIC manipuleaza exact pe aceste baze, ei vor sa tina lumea araba la nivelul actual, fara nici un pas inainte. Un popor bou, poate fi tinut mai usor la ham, asta e cheia de explicatie.

Mai citeste inca o data, ca ai inteles totul pe dos, profesor mai profersor decat cei care au facut analiza citata... unde vezi tu tampenii naziste... doar nu e un discurs de-a lui Ahmedinejad !?

o sa cistigi dragostea si respectul arabilor. Si citeaza logici tipice "natiunilor superioare". Inca putin si il vei gasi si pe Hitler de actualitate ...

PE LINGA AHMEDINEJAD si CLERUL militar, Hitler e un diletant !

Paradoxal, Osama recruta' numai oameni ... "cu carte", el insusi e un inginer, doar tembelii DE BARBOSI, IMAMII, GHIZII CICA SPIRITUALI AJUNG SA SELECTEZE pina si pe copii, ca sa ucida. Preferabil din familii cu putina carte, imbacsiti de propaganda urlata.

De la beduin, pina la cel mai cult, odata ce i s-a spalat creierul in halul asta, reactia este aceeasi.
Clerul asta violent nenoroceste lumea musulmana, aici e buba.
