The Roots of Islamic Rage

I think it was on the Dennis Prager show last Thursday when I heard Dr. Phyllis Chesler talk about the Psychological Roots of Islamic Rage. Although I had never heard anyone express these revelations, they made perfect sense when you see how women are treated in the Islamic world.

That feminists organizations are silent on the rampant abuse of women in Islam societies speaks volumes about the feminists.

According to Dr. Chesler, Islamic boys are taught at a very early age to hate women:

In Dr. Chesler's 1978 book, 'About Men,' she posited that the paternal abandonment of, and cruelty toward, sons may be a crucial component in mother- and woman-hating. Dr. Nancy Kobrin, in her forthcoming book The Sheik's New Clothes: The Naked Truth About Islamic Suicide Terrorism, suggests that the absolute degradation of Arab and Muslim women by a shame- and honor-society means that sons must perpetually rid themselves of the 'contamination' that contact with women represents; and that sons must psychologically abandon their mothers even as they experience abandonment by their mothers. Many such sons are trained to mistrust, police, routinely batter, and sometimes even murder their female relatives.

Dr. Kobrin believes that such psychological dynamics may play a crucial role in contemporary Islamic terrorism.

While girl- and woman-battering and honor murders are increasingly normalized in Islamic culture, the enemy-outsider, who must also be scapegoated, has been increasingly eroticized. Israel-hatred and Jew-hatred have achieved a level of political-erotic obsession among jihadists that may even surpass that of the Nazi era. Israel is no longer 'feminine' and for some, this is its great, existential crime. Israel refuses to absorb the hatred and violence or to forever turn the other cheek.

Individual Jewish women, though, may present a particularly tempting target to mentally ill and violent Muslims in a jihadic era. The 'Jewess' is the most denigrated female in Islamic ideology. Zaynab bint Al-Harith, the Khaybar 'Jewess,' is the woman who was falsely accused of having poisoned the prophet Muhammed after having witnessed the beheading of her entire male community in the Battle of Khaybar. Not coincidentally, Hizbullah currently calls its missiles 'Khaybar.' We have also been told that a new Iranian television station is known as 'Khaybar.'
