Schizophrenia?
Since September 11, there has been a concerted effort to present a new and improved Islam to the world. The moderate Muslim activists in the West avoid referring to teachings that may offend the Western citizen, such as the Islamic code of punishment.
They stress that they believe in Moses and Jesus. They refrain from calling Jews and Christians "infidels", "Zionists" or "Crusaders".
They use the term "Sunday School" in place of "Friday Class", and they end their speeches with the Christian expression "may God bless you".
Islam has two streams of theological thought; those based on Mohammed's sayings in Mecca and those penned from Medina. Both eventually were brought together in the Koran, but reflect two entirely different worldviews. Islam's Split Personality

Yes islam is split down the middle even in the division we see, daily, as Shia and Sunni commit multiple murder of their own bretheren.
Split down the middle is where they would have the "West."
Divide and rule they say, and how well the moslim politico/religious nazis are succeeding.
With our oil-junky Governments fawnng at the feet of mid-east rulers and Euro-Capital "moderate clerics," the jihad is romping home for a three-nil away win at Wembley.
(literally!)
One thing for certain, islam is past the point of responding to a little psychoanalysis.
They are like the true psychotic, manipulating analysis and reality for their own purpose, and adopting whichever of their multiple-personalities suits the purpose.
And that purpose?
Our submission.
Not one of the schizophrenias, but a dissociative personality disorder. That is the correct diagnosis for the Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde kind of phenomenon which is reflected in this split.
That is a good article as it must surely assist understanding of Islam where people are confused by the Mecca/Medina variations.
I am confused by it all. Full stop.
What semi-sane person wouldn't be?

Moussaoui, who is in the sentencing-phase of his trial related to 9/11, was yesterday declared a paranoid schizophrenic by a psychiatrist. All I could think of when I heard the news was "Is Islam a mental disorder?"
Going down the mental-disorder road in the Moussaoui trial is another whitewash of Islam.
The WaPo article is worth reading (free registration required).
Well, Islam is just a belief system, so there can't be anything inherently schizophrenic...
I think, though, that Muhammed's schizoid life comes through as it obviously does in the q'u'r'a'''n and appeals to those susceptible to schizoid behavior.
Or, perhaps this appeals to a baser instinct in man towards violence.
I would imagine the latter, and with greater effect on those who are schizoid.
islam's so called "belief in Jesus" does not square with what the Bible says about Him!
Isaiah 9. 6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
so in light of this, islam's prospects are pretty dim! LOL
forest,.. it is great to have a guest bible-scolar! No I'm serious. It is a counter-blast to all those surahs!
shalom bld,
i am happy to contribute to the discussion as a student who is still learning however! :)
and of course all of us who frequent these type of
blogs know the problem with islam is very serious.
if islam doesn't somehow fit into the end times apocalyptic scenario, then i don't know what will do it better!
Interesting thought! In fact, if the God of Islam (Allah) and the God of Christianity are indeed the same as some would have us believe, then God, himself, must be schizophrenic. If you don't believe it, just read the New Testament and the Koran. It don't take "no mental heavyweight" to figure out that there is no way, short of schizophrenia, that God and Allah can be the same deity. The Christian God is one of love, peace, forgiveness and redemption. Allah is the God of hatred, retribution, violence, intolerance, and bloodshed. Muslims are "spinning" this issue to lull us into dhimmitude.....
So true, Bld. So true.

Yes, it's crazy, isn't it?

Yes, I thought it was a good article, too. It's so simply put.

That's a very interesting observation.
Forrest Shalom:
Your Biblical input is always so interesting, and of course always welcome.
US Iconoclastic Patriot:
Yes indeed!
