We have a mental health pandemic. The mythology has created, thru pattern and practice , a "Muslim Personality Disorder'. By internalizing the mythology, a pathology of ever increasing hostility toward non initiates, perpetual victimhood, grandious deluded thinking, and in many cases, homicidal/suicidal ideation, disordered thinking and destructive behavior. We see the extreme in those areas of the planet where this mythology is practiced. Iran, saudi Arabia, etc. The extreme subjugation of women, supression of individuality, and a requirement of absolute obedience to authority, as defined by the mythology. This results in a mental health condition not unlike other stress disorders. The mythology is designed to exploit this repression by encouraging the 'Jihad' an ambigous term which is, basically hostility and violence toward non initiates. This pattern and practice is unique to so called "Muslims' and their dogmatic mythology.
