Inside a jihadi brain, the neuropsychological elements of aggression and rage run rampant, due to socio-political conditions. These overwhelming mental elements of young souls, when attached to the sacred texts of the Quran, by the authoritarian groups of fundamentalists, become weapons of mass destruction in the pursuit of the exclusive supremacy of one religion over the others.

About This Quote

The idea of jihad is an important one, and it has its place in Islam. However, young Muslims who are brainwashed and raised on a particular interpretation of the “holy” books end up with very different ideas of jihad than do moderate Sunni Muslims. The extremists believe that they are engaged in a holy war to protect Islam from the evils of the West. They feel that Islamic law (sharia) should replace all other laws, and that all non-Muslims should be forced to pay the jizya tax (a special tax), submit to Muslim rule (hijra), or be killed.
