OK, so what is the point?

Does islam make you mentally ill?

Do the criminally mentally ill find acceptance in islam and the islamic community?

Do the criminally mentally ill use islam as a scapegoart to support/justify their actions?

Is the "mental illness" angle being over played when there is a violent act linked to a belief in islam?

Or, did this guy want to read 8:30 minutes of headlines to make a poor social comment or sarcastic joke?

More to the point, shouldn't the individuals mental state be questioned every time there is an act of violence, whether muslim, christian, jew, hindi, ............ or not?

All religion makes people mentally ill to an extent. What Wahaabi-Salafis do is prey on vulnerable people. And we get the situation, perhaps after years of negativity or sometimes mere months we end up at crisis point. Lots of Saudi money brainwashing these youth.

Saudi is the most dangerous regime on the Earth. And it's support, of course, by powerful allies such as Hilary Clinton. I've made so many anti-Fascist statements on this forum that you have be truly brain dead to think I support Donald Trump. It's very sad that must shut up about how Hilary is complicit in financing terrorists, such as Saudi, simply because Donald Trump could be president. Hilary is a arrogant birch.

Wit stoner it's always nutjob quoting nutjob. That Spencer guy is the founder of Jihadwatch. Depending on point of view it's either an extreme rightwing site to discredit every muslim on this world or about covering yourself into tinfoill from head to toe.

Don't expect stoner to post anything sane people can subsrcibe to.

Agree. That's why I refer to it as a fantasy delusion. Unfortunately society accepts the delusion, for the most part. When the delusion is taken to the extreme, or is incorporated in with other delusions, is when problems within society begin.

I do wonder sometimes about the portrayal of crimes where Islam is an obvious motivation being portrayed as mental illness. The people who give that leeway towards, say the nightclub shooter in Florida are the same who say the planned parenthood shooter (who was actually mentally ill and judged unfit to stand trial) was a right wing terrorist. Maybe some of the incidents are mentally ill people, seems like kind of a stretch that there are so many muslims who are severely mentally ill and happen to pledge allegiance to the Islamic state. To brush it all off as mental illness seems like political correctness run amok.

Of course to believe all the supernatural claims made by Islam does require a bit of mental illness.
