Introduction
I wrote this blog about a year and a half ago. I 'parked' it as a draft because it didn't quite 'fit in' with the other material.
It was a sort of 'therapeutic' blog - after I had finished researching ISIL, its mindset and the cornucopia of horrors it beckoned believers, from the ages of 5 or 6 to the elderly, to wallow in, for guaranteed eternal salvation and the 'joy' (or rapture) of welcoming Allah's first Sharia kingdom here on earth. I was still in a particular 'frame of thought' - which I felt I had to finally 'exorcise'.

I was still in a particular 'frame of thought' - which I felt I had to finally 'exorcise'.
I thought that, in some places, the blog 'rambled' on a bit, got too quasi-religious, ethereal and seemed to 'loose the plot'.
If it appears in places to be decoherent and 'off-track' then please accept my apologies and attribute this to what I have just mentioned above.
I was recently going to delete it (because it is 'too rambling') with the other bits and pieces which never formed completed blogs. But I looked at it again and, by coincidence, it was mentioned on TV that (yet another) a row about anti-Semitism was again raging within the British Labor Party. I was curious to find out what this row was about and saw that there were issues which needed to be addressed, however uncomfortable they made one feel or think.

I was curious to find out what this row was about and saw that there were issues which needed to be addressed, however uncomfortable they made one feel or think.
Recently, in the United Kingdom, a member of the Labour (Labor) Party was suspended for alleged anti-Semitism. Her 'crime' was that she said that, in effect, the Jews only care about their own holocaust and ignore other peoples holocausts - the crime of slavery and the holocaust against Black people for centuries, Stalin's holocaust against millions of Russians, Pol Pot against millions in Cambodia, the holocaust against the Tutsi tribe in the Rwanda genocide (note that this is called 'genocide' not holocaust - which is 'reserved' for the crime by the Nazis against the Jews.) I might add the Australian Aborigines and Native Inhabitants of Tasmania, the Indian Tribes in the Americas and the crime of economic slavery against the African-Brazilians in Brazil today (who numbered over 75% of the population - before Brazil stopped recording racial statistics - on the grounds that racial differences were irrelevant) - and all such holocausts ignored by the world media and international community.
The point being made here is that peoples on different parts of this planet have suffered their own unique holocausts.
It is neither generally known (nor publicized enough) that the term 'holocaust' has indeed, internationally, been extended to commemorate the sufferings of different peoples throughout the world. Holocaust Day in many countries provide an opportunity for younger and older generations to reflect on the sufferings not just of their own 'tribe' or 'race' but place this evil into a better world perspective to try to minimize the likelihood of it happening again.
On the eve of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, it's a fitting time to publish it as it was originally drafted, unedited.
The Islamic State or 'Bubbleworld'
ISIL is probably one of the most evil movements this century has created.
We have seen how the hatreds of Communism and Nazism tore Europe apart and resulted in the genocide and displacement of nearly eighty million souls during the last century.
The additional challenge in the twenty first century is now religious extremism preaching hatred, intolerance and death to unbelievers.
It's predecessors were imperial powers who used it's same methods of barbarity to
strike fear and terror into subjected populations and minorities in tribal backward Europe.
What is remarkable how much in common the Hutu preachers of hate in Rwanda, Pol Pot in Cambodia and all organizers of mass genocide have in common with Nazism and Communism - if you care to study their propaganda literature.
It's organisers are not uneducated. Quite the opposite.
But neither were the proponents and the politicians who supported Hitler or of Empires which used mass rape, enslavement of men and women as a means to their perfect end - a world where only one race or tribe or philosophy or religion would prevail.
But do you really need to read the vile and hateful literature of the Nazi regime to understand neo-Nazism or Communism or modern Fascism? I contend that you do not. Reading through it all is quite sickening and unless you have a strong constitution, bad for your mental health. So I recommend that you read about it through people who have studied it and will honestly tell you of it's evil herein. Why allow yourself (and if you believe, your soul) to be contaminated and consumed with the fires of hatred and contempt for all others?
I say honestly because, not too long ago, someone I know, on several occasions, asked that I lie at diplomatic receptions so that diplomats are asked dishonest questions and not those which ordinary people (myself) are genuinely concerned about.
Her basis was that 'we only ask nice questions' at our Receptions.
I thought, I reflected and I contemplated for some guidance on what I had been asked to do.
I was taught that you never have to obey any command your conscience tells you is wrong.
You do not have to tell people in authority lies - especially if you believe that such lies will ultimately assist in creating misery and suffering for others.
It's almost as if lying is an essential part of our psyche or culture. [At least it is of hers!]
Without it, we [some people] are lost in a dishonest world where other wolves will devour the lambs caught between right and wrong.
This happened on three separate occasions over a period of 3 months.
Something else happened around that that time - between at least two of the events.
I was speaking with a teenager (18 year old, practicing Christian, male) who was telling me that it was all 'the buzz' for kids to be watching the video of a Jordanian pilot being roasted alive by ISIL.
I almost jumped out of my skin when he told me this - but (alas!) pretended it was of insignificance to me. It was of plenty of significnce!
During my lifetime I have personally seen the aftermath of bomb explosions - where people have been torn limb from limb and have been a witness to other horrors (both first and second-hand) which I do not want to relive, because, believe, me it is not therapeutic to relive everything - as the psychiatrists will falsely tell you in order to make money out of treating your misery and torment.
So I was absolutely horrified that this is what teenagers (and possibly younger) are watching 'for kicks' as he had no reason to lie to me and the manner in which the issue had arisen was not designed to either boast nor impress me - but just 'matter-of-fact' - this is what 'turns them on.'
In a world where children are constantly lied to - and they know they are being lied to - is it any wonder that they look 'elsewhere' for 'excitement?'
They are told they cannot have sex - yet their parents do it every night.
They cannot look at porn magazines, that taking drugs [even legal 'highs'] are evil and forbidden. They cannot watch violence [unless it is violence sanctioned ritually by the State to promote the ideals of heroism in war or law enforcement] because we have 'nannies' to constantly regulate and monitor every aspect of their private existence. They cannot gather in shopping Malls or within seconds security (active or passive electronic subsonic or ultrasonic) will turn up to confront them. They cannot walk even in shops without being followed [see the recent law case where staff in the U.S. were ordered to follow every Black customer who came into the store chain - throughout the United States - and is now (quite rightly in my view) being sued for racial discrimination.]
I linked both these things (my politically correct individual living in her 'bubble') and what 'excites' young adults - the roasting alive, like a sheep on a spit, of another human being, and his screams of pain - Reality TV ISIL style - for the pleasure of the masses.
We all live in 'politically correct' bubbles. We try to creat these same bubbles for all those around us - then ultimately attempt to impose the 'serenity' of these newly 'discovered' bubbles on the rest of society and ultimately on the rest of the world. We create a whole industry or structures which justify such bubbles - in much the same way as Dr. Goebbels created a whole industry of writing letters from Jews burnt in gas ovens in concentration camps to create the 'illusion' of 'normality' existing. But things were far from 'normal' in concentration camps. The issue was that things were so abnormal that it was necessary, no should I say a prerequisite that 'normality' be invented because what was happening was patently abnormal and too insane to be a part of the normal world - but in actual reality it was a part of normal life if you were a prisoner in Bergen-Belsen or Dachau or Theresienstadt concentration camps or a camp guard or commander.
People needed to invent lies to remain sane in the insane world we live in.
A furthert example is the mass rape of women and children by the Allied Forces during World War II.
Mass rape of women and children during World War II was just as common by Allied Forces as it was by the Russians. Yet an industry of lies through historical books were created for the world 'to buy into' and a new history 'created' where the only 'rapists' were the 'barbarian' conquering Russian troops. If you did not 'buy into the lie' you were 'frozen out' of mainstream society and denied a platform to evocate such truths.
Why such events happened can only be discerned if you study history since the dawn of human civilization and go figure out for yourself.
But
we pretended that Allied troops were above such atavism,
were Saints and the epitome of every lie we had invented over the
centuries.
That we (in the West) are somehow more advanced in spiritual development than the animals in the jungle or the 'naked savages' in Africa, Asia or the 'uncivilized' Americas or convict colonies Australasia and New Zealand - until the truth finally surfaces that is to say.
Allied Western troops don't rape women in war zones 'en masse' only the 'barbarian' Russians and the Japanese, Africans, Mongols and other 'savages' do this.
The lies our society creates to maintain it's sanity are quiet profound.
Slavery or Personal Slave Ownership Was Abolished Because It Became Too Uneconomic In It's Existing Form In the New Industrialized World
A further example is slavery. Slavery was not abolished because of do-gooders but because slavery, as it existed, was had become patently uneconomic and, with the advent of the industrial revolution and mass production, better forms of 'new slavery' which were more productive financially were now available for exploitation.
This is why Christendom enjoys the luxury of criticizing 'slavery' in the developing world - where, to survive, children must work to support the extended family.
In developing and underdeveloped societies there are no advanced networks of State support and as all that you have is your extended family to turn to for financial and social assistance when times are hard there are no other options but to do something to earn a living - enter the Western NGOs to 'remould' third world societies and cultures into their own making and values -which never incidentally existed in reality(!)
Another word for this is neo-colonialism.
So even the history books we teach our kids values about are all built on lies.
Why My Colleague Was Right And You Can Never Tell The Truth
I am now going to turn the argument upside down and say that lying is an essential prerequisite for survival and success.
This individual was right about lying and that I was patently wrong and naiive.
But it is because of the fact that I was naiive and wrong, that ISIL and it's inheritors [and even more evil from the dark side, just waiting for the boat ride across the Styx] will be waging Holy Wars for the next 100 years - and that, when such conflicts in the Muslim Arab world finally simmer, millions of souls (if not more) will have either perished or suffered greatly.
Evil Does Not Arrive From Nowhere
Yes, you could tell the truth - but who will ever listen if nobody will ever publicize you - because the mass media is also living in the same bubble and will never entertain your
viewpoint as part of mainstream knowledge - that is - until a tsunami hits or is predicted to hit (sic. that revelations about the truth are about to 'go viral') and someone 'politically' acceptable can be 'invented' to sing a new narrative about the 'revised' history or 'truth.'
It's a perfect system of bubbles of lies all insular from the feelings and emotions and sufferings of the real victims.
This is what has happened in the Arab world over the past centuries.
A few have benefited but the masses have ben impoverished and enslaved without a voice and without any hope of salvation - except through the words written in the Koran.
So ISIL was a movement waiting for it's time to come in the Arab world.
It was never a matter of 'if' but 'when' this monster-in-waiting would be let loose on the world stage.
To Prepare For What ISIL Is Saying Through It's Publication, DABIQ, You Must Recognise These Facts Or You Will Have Nothing To Argue Against It's Evil
I won't even talk about the horrors of slavery of African people by the colonial powers nor the selling of naked men and women, boys and girls in the Slave Markets of Liverpool [England] or in South Carolina or Lexington Kentucky or even slavery today in Brazil or wage slavery in the United States. Neither will I dwell too long on the fact tha African and Arab rulers and those victorious in battle traded captured slaves to Christendom and that the Koran endorses slavery - but it does not call it slavery by name. That similar practices exist worldwide is true today.
If you live in a financially impoverished community, have an extended family where a single income will not pay the bills, the children must work or everyone will starve to death. But you will be hard-pressed to find such controversial subjects talked honestly about in your history books or even in your media.
the emphasis will always be on 'exploitation' 'abuse' and 'neglect' and the urgency to impose our 'enlightened' Western values on Muslim, African and Asian societies.
The only acceptable slave economies are that run by multinationals where outsourcing destroys local Western and U.S. communities which are considered 'uneconomic' overpriced and no longer competitive - so the availability of labor in the developed world
Lies have been invented to 'protect' the children from the 'truth.' Bubbles of politically correct language have been invented by the new Dr. Goebbels' so that nobody asks 'awkward' questions.
But kids are not stupid. Intelligent ones never were. They now have access to a treasure of information via the internet which once could be hidden away from them for their entire lives - effectively creating the perfect world bubble of blissful lies for them to exist in. Should any raise 'awkward' questions it was never a problem as there were always enough too frightened to reveal the truth.
But nobody can conceal the truth forever - only just long enough to benefit from the lie.
So now the aurhorities attempt to ban whole societies from sites on the internet in order to 'protect' from 'exploitation'.
Call 911! Kids Are Attempting To Find Out The Truth via the Internet!
We attempt to ensure that the only websites they can visit have our stamp of approval and
are not politically incorrect [sites we say the law forbids them to visit.]
So now, having failed to achieve voluntary 'compliance', we introduce 'the whip' to compel it. If that fails, then we can commence the 'torture' program.
It is, in part, a rejection of our perfect world of lies that kids, for entertainment, today, watch a human being roasted by other human beings (and prodded with an iron rod from time to time to ensure his 'full' and 'complete' roasting - according to ISIL's twisted interpretation of Islam.]
Rejecting The Narrative Christian kids, rejecting our perfect lies, are watching human roasting - 'Reality' Islamic TV - ISIL-style - because of it's 'entertainment' value (us having left them with little else but boredom, deceit and lies.) I am beginning to understand why young Muslims, some probably equally out of boredom many others for certain out of a rejection of the 'bubble of lies' we create to deceive, join ISIL for 'adventure' and in search of 'the truth.' I will tell them this now - and this is not propaganda. Christians never found the truth through their creation of a world or universe of lies neither will Islam nor any other civilization or religion or philosophy.
Islam Rules, OK?
Islam is a wonderful religion but sadly it can never be hijacked to 'rule the world' on a foundation of lies - which is what ISIL is attempting.
You probably do not know that, until the rise of movements such as ISIS and Al Qaeda which are, visibly, even to an educated
non-Muslim such as myself, anti-Islamic and rotten to their core, Islam and not Christianity, was the fastest growing religion in the world.
Without movements such as ISIL, Salafism and Wahhabism, by pure default, Islam would have dominated the world - but as a conformist intolerant religion not one of peace tolerance and co-existence for all faiths, at least not yet.
If, to take it further, Islam had our equivalent of a Martin Luther, John Wesley, John Calvin then ther is no limit to it's possibilities after breakout from it's fixation of intolerance and conformity.
There are contradictions between what I have just said and above, but, go figure(!)
You cannot build and sustain an existence forever on foundations of lies.
Yet we all cannot live with the truth because it is too painful otherwise. This is humanity's sad paradox.
In the absence of lies, we are all naked in the embarrassment of the hypocrisies we have all hidden before our God or Gods and, more important, from each other.
It is much easier and more practical to build edifices to Mammon than to an abstract all knowing all seeing entity.
You can never build the prefect world either on the lies my colleague wanted me to 'buy into' or by roasting other human beings alive just for the fun of it - then justifying this in the name of religion. Both are two sides of the same coin. And you'd better recognise this or you will not survive the ISIL's of this world mentally intact.
'Herrenvolk' - ISIS Style
Many civilizations have a narrative around themselves as a 'Herrenvolk' or 'Master Race'.
ISIL's is built around the Prophet as leader or Fuhrer with Islam's followers as the 'Herrenvolk'. Such has always been appealing to imperial powers from time immemorial and indeed civilizations have been built upon such lies - until they all came crumblimg into the dust with nothing remaining except their ultimate physical demolition by the next Master Race-in-waiting. The Taliban smashed history into dust so too do ISIL.
But such is the ultimate faith awaiting all civilizations - if they do not succumb to other catastrophies first.
Edutainment [of sorts!]
Have you ever watched 'Planet Of The Apes' - the made for TV series?
In one episode a human and an ape fall into a hole in the ground and discovers a picture on a wall showing apes as caged animals in a zoo for human entertainment and spectacle.
The ape immediately attempts to kill the human fearing the truth about the past world will be revealed and upset the order of society.
The Killing Fields
So too ISIL kill everyone who is remotely linked to the past because their new world can never be built upon any effigy or picture which shows a prior contrary view of existence to that narrative they have created about existence.
This effectively means they (ISIL) will ultimately have to convert, kill, or enslave at least 98% of all Muslims and 100% of everyone else (including you and me.)
Surprisingly you are probably thinking that I will say how appalling this is.
To myself however this is simply a logical extension of the past millennia.
They say that the past cannot be changed. The present and the past both together influence the future.
ISIL's future is built upon the horrors of the past - as they so perfectly demonstrate today - so logically it can never be the Heaven of the future.
It follows the same sad pattern of every Satan which preceeded it and such makes it our quest to ensure it fails in its tasks of murder, enslavement andthe roasting alive of our children and loved ones as heretics - like witches to be burnt at the Stake.
DABIQ
Is the magazine of the Islamic State. I have read it from Issue 1 and it is built on a pack of lies. The sad thing is they are the mirror-image of the bubbles of lies Christendom has created - so the wheel is simply being re-invented.
This is why young adults are turning to extremist literature and propaganda online.
It gives them a perspective which is being actively denied or hidden in and by the mainstream mogul-controlled media and their networks worldwide.
Such propaganda, similar to ISIL's, plays with your thoughts and feelings by 'revealing' to you 'truths' which have been 'hidden' by politicians, schoolteachers and the media over the centuries. All of such are mentioned above in brief.
Dabiq, like the more effective extremist counterpart online publications is a very carefully crafted propaganda magazine based on the worst the twentieth century had to offer.
It does little to conceal it's contempt and hatred of Christianity and it's perception of Christians as savages and 'unclean' - not worthy of the term 'human being.'
But, like all extremist publications, unless you have studied propaganda you will be lost in it's content and accept it's 'connections' between what the Prophet said and the history of the Muslim world.
Sadly, ISIL has nothing to offer Islam but more blood.
Was it Mahathma Ghandi who said that if we all practice 'an eye for an eye' soon the whole world will go blind.
Protect and Serve
When your services are called upon by your Commander-In-Chief to protect America and the world in the Middle East and in the Gulf you need to be fully aware of what a Holy War entails in order to persevere to final victory.
For the reasons above, it will be a 'hollow' victory - but at least you will have the reassurance that your family and loved ones will continue to enjoy the freedom to be different, to practice whatever religion they want (or none) to criticize without fear and, above all else, to be able to express themselves as they so choose.
Underlying Thoughts The two most important objectives of education are to provide knowledge and to give it's recipients a compass or GPS so that they are not stuck in a rut forever.
ISIL achieves both in DABIQ but it's truths are lies and half-truths and it's 'compass' or GPS is attempting to drive Islam over a cliff and into the abyss out of which it will take centuries to recover.
My book, entitled 'DABIQ' or 'Honey, How Do We tell the Kids About ISIL?' was inspired by the above encounters with MCW and 'the kid'.
I had sort of run out of new ideas and had no 'compass'.
It is deliberately written in a quasi-mystical style (gotta get yer brain re-orientated!) to bring readers into the 'thought framework' of what a Holy War, 21st century style, entails.
Unlike ISIL and rather paradoxically, I hardly make any mention of God - but the essence of the divine is contained in selected quotations throughout it's content.
I leave them 'nameless' so you can judge them 'by their content' and not, metaphorically speaking, 'by the color of their skin'.
The booklet will enable you, as a novice, to be more than prepared for assignment in the Middle East or Persian Gulf without having to read through ISIL's hate propaganda to understand completely their 'message'. Nothing will shock you so hopefully, with such knowledge, you will be less traumatized and suffer far less in the aftermath than someone totally or less mentally prepared than yourself.
You will be able to manage better the hypocricies and contradictions and fortify yourself
with both as strengths rather than, as ISIL intends as weaknesses - thereby leaving you more vulnerable to ISIL's emotional or psychological exploitation, by a very cunning enemy.
Your senses will aslo be heightened - and this may save your life as you will be less complacent in this unique hostile environment than you might otherwise be in a 'normal' war zone.

What Ha'aretz fails to mention (below) is that Walker is, herself, Jewish - but I think that reflects a 'psychological' 'problem' within Ha'aretz as much as anything else - but that's another day's blog for me (!)
http://www.haaretz.com/jewish/news/1.745379
On reflection,to save myself the time of yet another blog on the above issue, best that I refer you to one already out there which aptly summarizes what I might have said, in the referenced article below written by Sam Kriss:
(extract)
''It's hard not to see this as racism. Jackie Walker is of mixed heritage, both Jewish and black Jamaican; it's easy for white Jews to dismiss her as being not fully Jewish. When the pronouncements of a few unrepresentative and unelected "Jewish community leaders" are taken to be representative of our entire community, black, leftist, pro-Palestinian Jews like Jackie Walker don't fit into simple conceptual categories. (And it's worth remembering that this Jewish inability to be easily assimilated into existing structures was a major factor in pre-war European anti-Semitism.) But if Jews can be anti-Semitic – and this is what Walker's critics are tacitly claiming – then her treatment is also bald and despicable anti-Semitism.''
