Ive been thinking a lot lately about the current state of the world..and in particular..the state of religion…Islam..to be exact. I dont know whats going on, I feel like all this is new..but its been going on since the inception, so I am left to believe that this is something very old and what is happening now has evolved, like everything else, from primitivity.

The state of our world is in complete shambles. You want someone to blame. As humans, we need someone to blame. I think that most people blame Islam..and thats..just not intelligent.

Religion is and always has been, above all else, a psychological weapon. Since the beginning of mankind, religion has been used as a means of power and control. Fear and longing for a non existent afterlife has governed peoples actions, or their non action, since the beginning of our species.
It doesnt take a genius to look at history and see what great events religion has brought forth upon mankind. The Crusades. The Inquisition. Waco. Jonestown.  In all of those occurances there is one common theme. Religion being used to control and manipulate mankind. Thats why religion was “created.” A way to manipulate the masses. There is another common theme among religion and that is the belief in the God-Man Mythology. The belief a human being actually physically existed on this Earth with powers inhuman and was more God than human. A hero. A typical Hollywood, fantasy hero.

Christians are a prime example. They rely on the belief in Jesus. The belief in a man who stood for everything good about humanity, but sadly, did not physically exist. There is no contemporary evidence supporting his existence, and everything logically points to no. And yet, millions of people believe on his FACTUAL existence when his FACTUAL existence really has little to do with the religion, he is a myth and what Christianity is based on is based on the idea and the harmony that his myth represents, yet so many Christians are so militant about his physical, historical existence that that is the only aspect of his myth that they focus on. Do you know why?
Because people in power rely on this physical existence to continue to propagate the myth that controls the masses. As long as he “existed” the people have something to believe in. God Man Mythology keeps people in line because they have a hero.

In the case of Islam..there is no God Man. Muhammad knew exactly what he was doing when he created Islam. He effectively tweaked mans greatest psychological weapon: Religion. He altered it to not only be the perfect way to control the masses, but the perfect way to build an endless army. Islam, just like Christianity, is the perfect way to control. Religion especially appeals to the common people. So, in todays general Middle Eastern society where there is NO middle class you are either rich or poor…religion is the perfect escape. Muslim extremists rely on the belief in an afterlife of contentment and happiness, and that governs their violent actions. Martyrdom = heaven. Heaven = freedom from poverty, freedom from political strife. Freedom. Freedom from the one thing that has kept them from being free. The greatest political weapon..their own religion. The religion they were born into and brainwashed into. A story so familiar in some Middle Eastern countries where the only form of education is Madrasah, an Islamic school where children learn to recite the full Quran from cover to cover. The only way to escape is through death.

So who is to blame but humanity? We created the seemingly perfect way to control our fellow man. The greatest psychological weapon and now…

It is backfiring.
