Actually, Holly (writing in the third person, of course), is uncompromising in her criticism of pious adherents to a politico-religious ideology that seems to breed a mental disorder.
What Holly has read from both Tlaib and Omar are standard islamist slogans aimed at Israel that could have come from any of the islamic terrorist mouthpieces from Gaza, the West Bank or Iran. Hamas and Abbas got their Israeli withdrawal from Gaza more than a decade ago and their freedom (to elect an openly belligerent Islamic terrorist regime), the lack of which they kept telling the world was at the root of their ongoing mass murder terror campaign. Yet, for some reason, onward they press with more terror. Still, world leaders, academics, and plenty of other intelligent and otherwise just people refuse to recognize this nonpattern of a "cycle of violence."
The most recent statements from Abbas (âMillions Of Fightersâ Will Take Over Jerusalemâ) or Hamas praising the âheroicâ killers of Israelis speaks to a mental disorder that is fueled by an identifiable politico-religious ideology. This is why Moslems say that Islam is not just a religion, but a complete way of life. That's what it is. How you go to the bathroom, make love to your spouse, punish those who transgress against Muhammudâs will, go to war, eat, wash, borrow money, treat infidelsâin short, anything you may do in the course of being aliveâis strictly regulated by the Sharia. Life for the Moslem is a complex series of bizarre rituals and habits that are commanded by Islamâs inventor. Islam is the obsessive-compulsive disorder of religions.
Other than islamist ideology, (as delineated in the Hamas Charter), there is nothing that prevents âPalistiniansâ from clawing their way out of their self-created hell. Take lessons from those in Hong Kong, South Korea. Vietnam and elsewhere. The religious fundamentalists as represented by Islamic Jihad, Iran, Hamas, etc. want to press their own agenda of returning the Middle East to a time as life existed on the Arabian Peninsula in the 7th century. They murder and oppress their own people as well as others. They are purveyors of violence. In reply, others will respond with violence to settle a score. Itâs not as though diplomacy will work with groups such as these. And itâs true that non-violence can work under certain circumstances. Ghandi and Martin Luther King provided examples of that, although, in both cases, they were operating against an injustice, not a barbarian.
But Hey, there's a reason why Iâm not rocking back and forth over a Koran after having watched my neighbor collapse in a bloody heap under one hundred lashes for committing a âcrime against Koranityâ.
Welcome to the twenty-first century where vicious, embittered barbarism in God's name gets you... nowhere.
Being bludgeoned by a psychopath to the droning intonation of "Allahu Akbar" is dehumanizing.
Rashida Tlaib criticized the wall that stopped suicide bombings - PMW Bulletins
Ramadan Shalah, Head of Palestinian Islamic Jihad:
"The Martyrdom-seeking [suicide] operations as a strategic option invented by the Palestinians, is an option which exists, we haven't abandoned it. However, the timing of [suicide terror] operations, and the ability to execute those operations, are issues for the field [commanders]. For example, in the West Bank, there's the separation wall, which is an obstacle for the resistance [terror]. If it did not exist, the situation would be completely different."
