The Psyche of Al-Qaeda

reads like a summary of the last 5 years of newspaper articles on "the base" where are your own thoughts Khalid?

desi men are so easily excited! ... may be 'lack of opportunities'! combined with vivid imaginations ... I saw the vid posted on UP ... there was hardly anything there to be honest

Cheema sahib,

these are not ugly rumours

By rumours I was referring to the canard that YRG had fondled Ms Rehman in full public view with the latter's consent.

Re: # 15; majumdar

these are not ugly rumours ... i recently presented Ibn-e-maja's reference (hadith quoted by ayesha ... who else!) advocating this ... allegedly the full script was not available since it was eaten by a goat!! ... with "editors" like that, who needs enemies! ... LOL!!

SR sahib,

Maybe YRG and Sherry Rehman shud do what Al Azhar is suggesting and that too publicly to remove all ugly rumours.

Regards

Dr. Sohail: There is no "Psyche of Al-Qaeda" discussed in this article. And the rest is an otiose potpourri of cliches bandied by the army of terrorist experts that was spontaneously created on 9/11 (this being the same process of creation that blessed us all with Masadi).

This article therefore represents conduct unbecoming the psychologist and the gentleman that you are.

brother masadi,

r u saying that sohail should reference your way of referencing when he references?

Brother, how r things in lahore? kaka is hearing, people r losing jobs.. do you still have yours or you didn't have to begin with?

Sohail sits on the editorial board of chowk and shameless copies my writing style:

Note this "(Ref 1)"

And then note how I quote my references. I challenge him to produce even one of his articles written before my blogs of this last month where he has used such referencing....and then the damn fool has the audacity to block my articles

This is a great article with references and quotes. Apart from Lenin's warfare, I also learned about the fight between good and bad people in Pakistan and that Sohail wishes that the good guys win. Great article overall.

Sohail is a painDu psychologist offering mid-wife homilies for an audience that he confuses for his pinD.

'The Psyche of Al-Qaeda'???

'world consciousness'???

What's next? The mindset of kaka's chappal? The smile of a nation?

Yes, it is shallow. The article does not even address the psyche part of the story. Talking about Salafi, Has the learned author ever had a chance to read about Lutheran beliefs?

Most of the previous millennium's Islamic sects are derived from the several sects of Christianity. Salafi, Wahabi etc. can be traced to Christian revivalist movements.

Syed Qutb and later Maudoodi mostly copied from Christian Science monitors publications after the missionaries started working in India and in the ME. The RSS and its publications are copied from Christian Science monitors publications too.

These extremist and purification sects were part of the British game to control, divide and rule. These groups still are part of the ruling alliances in several countries.

Now they will ban me for 24 hours and forget about my account for 48 more....

Saima writes "I am a little surprised at this shallow analysis."

No surprises here, we have come to expect "shallow analysis" from Sohail the shrink (did I forfeit my cup of tea and free palm reading?) and gill the plumber not to mention the fact that psychology as a field is devoid of any substance, it has not original material whatsoever, it depends on biology or sociology to explain what little it can muster, before the shrinks turn that into a prescription for Prozac and hook the nation to it....

Have a nice day and take it easy,

TNI Masadi

I am a little surprised at this shallow analysis.
To start with the comment about Al-Ghazali is a little bit unfair. He has been heralded as the anti-rationality fellow, however the process by which he concluded this was very rational. He did not want to divest the spiritual from the scientific. Maybe that wasn't such a bad idea because un checked 'scientific progress' has led to immense plunder of the planet's resources. There is a lot more to this story than what has been covered in these brief paragraphs. There are questions here that haven't been asked e.g.,
Syed Qutb reads no different than many western writers such as Henry David Thoreau who were critical of the mindlessness of industrialization. Considering all of the above, it does not explain the violence of Al-Qaeda---violence is the 24million dollar question.
