The world learned, for example, that an American civilian had been burned alive by a Muslim mob in Duluiyah, Iraq, but you won't find a bit of sympathy or outrage on the Website of the notorious CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations). In fact, of the more than 3100 fatal Islamic terror attacks committed in the last four years, we have only seen CAIR specifically condemn 18.

Regrettably, this sort of narcissistic self-absorption is the norm in the Islamic world rather than the exception. Despite the massive assistance that U.S. citizens and military alike have provided to Pakistani quake victims, for example, the talk elsewhere is only about the burning of two dead Taliban terrorists (although not much in Afghanistan, we note, where the Taliban is deeply unpopular).

Compare this to the collective yawn over the murder of two temple boys in Thailand by Muslim radicals, who shot them in their beds after slitting the throat of a 76-year-old monk. These three bodies were also burned, but you won't find any tears shed on the "Arab Street," CAIR's Website, or anywhere else where "there is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is his prophet."

We know that there are decent Muslims whose sense of moral perspective hasn't been fully lost to this bizarre religion, which splits humanity into two disparate factions, where the cadavers of one group are considerably more deserving than the lives of the other, but you would never know it by the exhibition of selective outrage from the likes of CAIR.

Her crime? Being a Christian.

BUT WHAT DO WE HEAR FROM THE MEDIA? It's a constant drum beat about the deaths in Iraq(Caution - very graphic image).

(AP, via Yahoo) News As of Friday, Oct. 28, 2005, , at least 2,011 members of the U.S. military have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count. At least 1,567 died as a result of hostile action, according to the military's numbers. The figures include five military civilians.

HOWEVER, What the media avoid like the plague is the List of Islamic terror attacks for the past 12 months, and the list of Islamic Terror Attacks in 2004, and the list of Islamic terror attacks from September 11, 2001 to December 31, 2003.

But aside from the fact that the media choose to concentrate on everything negative about Iraq while ignoring the ever-growing number of deaths by Islamic terrorists - world wide, in juxtaposition with the importance of our role in Iraq to combat terrorism, why aren't the media and politicians, as well as Americans on both sides of the political spectrum, asking what kind of culture produces human bombs, glorifies mass murderers, and supports humiliation-based revenge? Think about it, and recall:

In Fallujah, terrorists used women and children as human shields against American soldiers. On April 27, 2004, in Jerusalem, Hamas used a Palestinian human bomb to kill two Palestinian alleged "collaborators." On April 28, 2004, even as UN envoy, Lakhdar Brahimi, was busy characterizing Israeli policy as the "great poison in the region," Jordanian police arrested al-Qaida operatives who were quite literally trying to launch a chemical poison attack that might have killed 80,000 Jordanians and Americans. And, on May 1, 2004, in Gaza, Palestinian gunmen shot and killed a Jewish woman who was eight-months pregnant together with her four young daughters.

Despite enormous and continuing denial on the part of left and liberal ideologues and the media, we are facing an exceedingly pathological strain of Islamofascist terrorism.

According to Minnesota based psychoanalyst and Arabist, Dr. Nancy Kobrin, it is a culture in which shame and honor play decisive roles and in which the debasement of women is paramount. In an utterly fascinating and as-yet unpublished book, which I will be introducing, the Sheik's New Clothes: the Psychoanalytic Roots of Islamic Suicide Terrorism, Kobrin, and her Israeli co-author, counter-terrorism expert Yoram Schweitzer, describe barbarous family and clan dynamics in which children, both boys and girls, are routinely orally and anally raped by male relatives; infant males are sometimes sadistically over-stimulated by being masturbated; boys between the ages of 7-12 are publicly and traumatically circumcised; many girls are clitoridectomized; and women are seen as the source of all shame and dishonor and treated accordingly: very, very badly.

According to Dr. Kobrin, "The little girl lives her life under a communal death threat--the honor killing." Both male and female infants and children are brought up by mothers (who are debased and traumatized women). As such, all children are forever psychologically "contaminated" by the humiliated yet all-powerful mother. Arab and Muslim boys must disassociate themselves from her in spectacularly savage ways. But, on a deep unconscious level, they may also wish to remain merged with the source of contamination--a conflict that suicide bombers both act out and resolve when they manfully kill but also merge their blood eternally with that of their presumably most hated enemies, the Israeli Jews. In Kobrin's view, the Israeli Jews may actually function as substitutes or scapegoats for an even more primal, hated/loved enemy: Woman.

Widespread child sexual abuse leads to paranoid, highly traumatized, and revenge-seeking adults. Based on my own experience in Afghanistan (a non-Arab, Muslim culture), a polygamous, patriarchal culture also leads to an infernal, fraternal competition for paternal favor and inheritance. It is brother against brother, full brothers against half-brothers, full and half brothers against first cousins--and thus, can entire families and clans remain locked in revenge-fueled mortal combat for generations.

Radical Islam is a sick society, a sick culture, and a sick religion, with a pathologically sick agenda - as was expressed this week by Iran's President - the elimination of Israel and the United States by an Islamic Republic and it's religion - Islam.

We're not talking about Muslims in general here, we're talking about Islamic fundamentalism, a culture that places suicide bombers, glorifies mass murderers, and supports terrible acts of murderous revenge, even if innocent men, women, and children die from their acts. Radical Islam and the nations that support it - they are the real story, not the sacrifices of America's treasure giving their all for their country, our way of life, our freedoms, and our civilization.
