A COLLECTIVE NERVOUS BREAKDOWN ALL OVER THE WORLD?

 There has been yet another knife-stabbing (yesterday 9th May 2024) by yet another jihadi - this time by a 15 year old white Australian schoolboy in a school in Perth who had converted to Islam. He ran amok with a knife, injured a man with the knife before he was shot dead.

Here is some news :

• A parent had concerns about "radicalised" teenager
  
• who was shot dead after attacking stranger
• since he was 14 the teen part of govt-funded de-radicalisation program
• He once threw a science experiment – a small explosive – into a toilet
• in letter she claimed  student used prayer room to convert students to Islam
• letter included reference to school children watching videos of Z---r N- -k 
• controversial figure accused by I- - ia of spreading Islamic extremism
• "..inducing fear of world ending, targeting others for conversion" parent wrote
• in prayer room students encouraged to watch videos of Z- - - r N - -k. 

So the parent of another student at the school had already written to the Police warning them of a jihadi student in the school. Sadly they did not listen to her complaints. Here is that letter:

 

My Comments :

There was another knife attack in Australia by another jihadi on April 16th 2024. 
In December 2023 a French civilian in Paris was stabbed to death by a jihadi. 
In October 2023 two people in Brussels were shot to death by a jihadi. 
The list goes on and on. 

Yesterday there was that petrol bomb attack against an entertainment outlet in a country in South East Asia which is most likely jihadi related as well.

These are jihadi atttacks in western countries. The real action stuff goes on in the Islamic countries like Pakistan, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Sudan etc. People there die in the tens and dozens.

I have written before that Islamic societies around the world seem to be having a giant meltdown - a type of collective nervous breakdown. This nervous breakdown manifests itself through violence. Violence is always lurking just below the surface. And this violence is preceded by an intense hatred for just about anything and everything.

Dennis Ignatius has a list of some of these dislikes and hatreds at his latest article here : High hypocrisy at interfaith conference

He forgot to mention dogs and of course that other animal.

In 2011 the Arab Meltdown took place. It was mistakenly labelled the Arab Spring. The Middle East has been in a tailspin since long before then. The Islamic countries in Africa are also in a violent death spiral. Terror outfits like Boko Haram, al Shabab and Islamic State are now part of the landscape. In 2014 Boko Haram kidnapped 276 mostly Christian schoolgirls in Nigeria. Today 10 years later, over 100 of those girls are still being kept by Boko Haram. 

 We are now in the 21st century. But it is hard to believe that the jihadis live in the same century as the rest of the world. They live inside their own coccoon. 

The jihadis remind me of an episode in the 1970s TV thriller Kolchak The Nightstalker where a Neanderthal man is found frozen inside a block of ice. When the ice is thawed out the Neanderthal comes alive and immediately starts attacking and killing people. He simply could not stop because he only saw enemies and threats everywhere. In the end I believe he was "put down".

The jihadi problem is getting worse - all over the world. In Islamic countries and also in the West. 

Of course the only places which are safe are those places where there are no jihadis. Therein lies the solution.
