What a great article. You are spot on and have such good ability to “cut to the chase.” Thanks for all your hard work and efforts to educate with truth. 👍

It is sadly true that the only Muslim converts I know of are people who could be described similarly as lost and suffering mental breakdown before doing so. Sadly, academics seem to follow this belief by demonstrating with Islam the principle that some ideas are so absurd that only an intellectual can believe them!

I think the best way to view these alternative religions is to do a deep dive on the founders. Those 'searching for meaning' feeling that they are not part of current society are those with aberrant views who cannot connect on what would be deemed a normal basis. Foucault and his crew were all pedophiles which, if this fact were heavily promoted as not a viable basis, would not support him claiming he was better at understanding humanity. The same basic misconnect occurs with those in the small minorities of social aberrants. Yet, we promote their ideas as above the rest as if their minority carries special insights to which we should all succumb. Their 'great insight' that global villages are superior to nuclear families suits their personal agendas of achieving social status and acceptability, but highly destructive of societal norms in my opinion.

I noted the " Christians" and Jew were all gay. I'm sure that had nothing to do with the philosophy.

I know. Why does political radicalism so frequently keep coming back to s*xual dysfunction?

May be that’s why it's not good according to Ha Shem.

I think it's the other way around. Because HaShem prohibited those behaviors, that is why they rebel against Him by subverting society.

I suspect that antisemitism is a unifying principle among the Catholics and the Muslims. Catholics are more likely to convert to Islam because their antisemitism is more satisfied there. And Muslims are more likely to convert to Catholicism because its antisemitism is more lethal, it being more covert.

Wikipedia's biography of Massignon includes the following: 1) Massignon shared with his friend T. E. Lawrence (of Arabia) a sense of betrayal at the 1917 disclosure of the Balfour Declaration (re-establishing a Jewish national home); 2) Massignon committed himself to the Arabs living in Palestine who were displaced by the founding of Israel in 1948 (but not to the 800 thousand Jews expelled from Muslim countries at that time); 3) Massignon admired M. K. Gandhi (who famously called for non-resistance from European Jews during World War 2). What a character.

Interesting and informative dive into the significance of yet one more cruel deviation from Western societal self-defense.

Arbel's Law strikes again: "the trouble with fighting stereotypes is that some people are hell-bent on living up to them". T
