Bollywood One: //Dil Se Desi// Fida'i, Shahid and Islamikaze - by Raphael Israeli [Brainwashing of the fanatic]

Good Day Brothers and Sisters,

Its Sunday, 25th January 2009

Extracted from ... Islamikaze: Manifestations of Islamic Martyrology by Raphael Israeli and published by Frank Cass (2003).

In order to cultivate their self-image as the alternative to the existing order, these Islamikaze-prone revolutionaries not only boast their slogans of 'Islam is the Solution!', 'Islam is the Alternative! ' and 'Islam is the Truth!', but they also delegitimize the regimes under which they live, and the enemies against whom they are pitted, be they godless communists, the corrupt and corrupting West, aggressive America and Israel, and the like. Rhetorical violence against opponents, enemies or rivals sets the stage for their ultimate elimination. And if they cannot be annihilated by face-to-face confrontation due to their (temporary) superiority in weaponry and technology, then self-sacrifice by way of Islamikaze may be the answer. Once again, it is not the desire of these people to commit 'suicide' that propels them, but the burning and uncontrollable eagerness to destroy the enemy even if it costs them their lives.

To induce a young Muslim to become an Islamikaze his operators must first emasculate the natural fear of death that is innate in any human being. They may fascinate their naive and adept novice by comparing the promised hereafter, where the would-be martyr is free of concern and pursues a rewarding and eternal material life depicted in lively colour and enveloped in lust and debauchery, with the hardships of his real life, which is full of pitfalls, frustrations and uncertainties, and fleeting in any case. He may be tempted to take a shortcut to Heaven to save himself the vagaries of his actual and temporary stay on earth. In April 1995, a poignant story was published in an Israeli newspaper concerning a young 15-year-old Palestinian boy from Gaza, whose quest to blow himself up among Israeli civilians had been foiled. He said during his police interrogation, 'We are born to die, and our lives are merely a transition to death and eternal life in Paradise…

Death is a good thing, not the bad, horrific and ugly thing that we were made to believe.'

In Islamic folk representation of Paradise, which is often supported by
popular religious sheikhs and citations from Islamic sources, the martyr
may freely mingle with the virgins of Paradise (huriya), some say as many
as 72 of them each, and after each sexual intercourse the girls
miraculously regain their virginity in order to afford the martyr a
continuous virginal pleasure. So it goes for alcohol, the other major
taboo in Islamic society, since Shari'a does not apply in Heaven.

After admission into Paradise, the martyrs are blissfully rewarded by
acquiring a higher position than all the other dwellers, which enables
them to partake of the eternal pleasures and delights that the place has
to offer. The Holy Qur'an abounds with exciting descriptions of the Garden
of Eden, where the climate is temperate-not a trifle for Arabs originating
from the deserts of Arabia-and where they can indulge in drink from silver
cups, dressed in expensive silk, adorned with silver jewels amidst gardens
where wine flows like rivers. This dream-like living is certainly
mind-boggling inasmuch as it provides a never waning source of happiness
and bliss, as compared with worldly suffering, uncertainty and
deprivation. It was the Prophet himself who urged jihad fighters to
distinguish themselves in battle, in view of what was awaiting them in the
quickly attainable hereafter. The position of the martyr in Heaven is
extolled, for his dwelling surpass all the others, as it is located close
to Allah's throne.

Many Hadith elaborate on those magnificient descriptions, like the one
painting Paradise in terms of a divine blinking light, branches of
fragrant trees, flowing rivers, tall palaces, an abundance of fruit,
luxurious clothes and exquisite women, which make for eternal, glorious,
peaceful and plentiful living.

This mind-boggling mode of life, that is no doubt irresistible to the
prospective martyr, also has a spiritual side. The shahid is considered a
mediator for others to gain admission to Paradise, for after his death he
can 'lobby' for others before the highest in Heaven. This striving on
behalf of others, known in Islam as shafa'a, which for the most part has
been reserved as a prerogative of the Prophet himself in Muslim tradition,
was expanded to the martyr by scholars like Abu Talib, the Meccan, and the
famous scholar and mystic, al-Ghazali.

They are taught as one of them testified, "To be born to die, and our
lives are merely a transition to death and eternal life in Paradise. Death
is a good thing, not the bad, horrific and ugly thing that we were made to
believe." So to stop them you MUST kill them; you CANNOT negotiate with
them - and you will be condemned by a world which will not understand
their fanaticism.

Note : Its not just in Islam that tenets of the faith are twisted and misrepresented

to manipulate the ignorant majority ..

Over time, we have seen the same happening by interested sections

in every Faith that holds itself as the sole inheritor of the salvation

of its followers and the rest of the world ...

Its only through self introspection and personal reading of the scriptures to begin

with that we can unshackle ourselves from the slave mentality that is sought to be

imposed and maintained upon us ....

Think over it and don't miss the rest of the reading of the article
