#1 NOW that was interesting.

Too bad he didn't quote Viktor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning"...no wait Frankl is Jewish.

Oh never mind

But Frankl said man could find meaning in three endeavors:

Love
Works
Enduring a hardship

When I was reading the Quran during my six months in Libya, I don't ever remember seeing the word "love" anywhere in the Quran.

#2 It is particularly difficult for many Moslems to comprehend how some people can use Islam, a religion of peace with clear prohibitions on unjust killings, as justification for their barbarity.

Classic 'Denial' as evidenced by both psychosis [symptoms] and neurosis [the actual mental disorder]. Move along now, leave them to their communal excoriation. Nothing can be done for them at this point.

#3 Nothing can be done for them at this point.

But quite a lot can be done for us.

#5 I don't want to understand them, I just want them to die. Painfully and alone (eg without taking innocents with them).

#6 Psychiatry, sociology and psychology cannot understand the terror mindset. Nor can they help eradicate it. Theology is the source of the mind-set ... well, alleged theology ... and that means mullahs and that means hanging mullahs from lamp posts. That is real theology. And a Saudi writing about eradicating terrorism?!?!?!? That is really, really rich. Saud is the world's main funder of it. So, essentially, this piece in Arab News is entirely misdirection.

#8 Well Mohaammed Fahad Al-Harthi. The Koran, the basis of Islam, has 109 verses calling for violence, war and death. Taqiyya on your part?
