So why are converts to Islam (and sometime to Christianity) always the most radical and dangerous of people?

Well the answer has to be, simply because they chose out of conviction to become Muslims (or Christians or Buddhists or whatever), and so the light of the true believer shines through their eyes.
They are the most scrupulous of mosque attenders, and sticklers for all the religious rules, the most adamant in defending their new beliefs, so much so, that they also often bore the tits off of people born into the religion by chastising them for not always adhering to all their faiths rules.
Now none of this is very new, and normally apart from making bores, it does no harm to anyone else, but the difference now is that current mainstream of Islamic belief appears to push converts into, the admittedly wide, stream of violent thought that is the current Muslim intellectual world.
This propensity for violent action by the convert, has been noted before throughout history, and for instance some of the worst persecutors of the Jews of Spain were Christian converts, and similarly Muslim converts in the Ottoman Empire where the worst persecutors of Christians or Jews in the Balkans and Middle East ... the Barbary coast pirates who enslaved Europeans were often Christian converts to Islam.
It's almost an over compensation behaviour, for the feelings of guilt that they often feel about abandoning previous beliefs, and friends. So the violence of their verbal or physical attacks are carried out with all the fervour and viciousness, that only the totally righteous, and totally certain believer in the cause, can muster. By attacking your previous convictions, one can figuratively or literally, try to blow away any reminder of your past deviance from your new normalcy of belief.
Another point about converts is that they appear to often be loners, losers and people looking for a better self image. The idea of starting afresh with a new belief system and way of life, one that offers all the answers as long as you submit totally, can be attractive to a certain personality type.
The men who convert often have had a string of strongly held beliefs in the past, that were just as violently abandoned for another 'new' value system. They are often men who could not get women to look at them as being 'important,' and who held low value occupations and were not highly esteemed in Western societies ... many have long histories of criminal behaviour and drug abuse.

For instance, Islam attracts a number of black male converts, often with a prison background. They very often find that a more pliant South Asian wife comes along (via arranged marriages) with the conversion. Wives who have a lower expectation about men's behaviour than Western orientated women, and who are not likely to stand up against violence, or highlight any of their financial failure as a bread winner.
The women who convert to Islam on the other hand, often have had a series of failed emotional relationships, which they equate in their psyches with their earlier beliefs and lifestyles, and which have left them with a low self worth. They often come from a highly religious back ground, such as Catholicism or Hinduism, which makes them more prone to any belief system that claims to have all the answers. Again with the conversion, an arranged marriage often comes along, either as the reason for the conversion, or as a part of the package. This is an attractive fillip to someone who may have felt that they were not worthwhile enough for anyone to want them.
Islam often claims to be a religion of love, but currently appears more often appears differently to the West, and certainly ‘doesn’t promote love of others as Christianity does’. These Islamic converts are so notorious for their extreme beliefs, and the gratitude that they feel for a religion that they feel has rescued them from their previous problems, that they are often actively sought out by recruiters for terrorist cells. A German Interior Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble had warned that Islamic militant groups were 'deliberately trying to recruit converts to Islam to carry out attacks, because are less likely to raise suspicion,' or attention, from the security services, and especially because it takes so little to prompt violence from them.
They are in fact primed for violence, so to speak, by the mental process of their conversions and often told that to the truly devout, combat jihad is like a coming of age ‘pilgrimage’, almost an expected rite of passage before starting a family.
As an illustration of my point, the Germans have just announced that they have stopped a planned attack on American linked sites by Al-Qaeda motivated Muslim terrorists – the arrested suspects are one Turk and two German converts to Islam.
This follows in a line of converts who have gone on to become terrorists and advocates for Jihad. Richard Reid the UK“Shoe Bomber” was a Muslim convert with a long history of petty crime and a father who was also a career criminal. In fact there have been a number of arrests of converts to Islam in the UK, Europe and North America. Three men, including a convert from Catholicism Joe Padilla, have just been found guilty of Islamic terrorism in the US.
In France, Willie Brigitte, from the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, was sentenced to nine years in jail for planned attacks on Australia. He converted to Islam in 1998. Andrew Rowe, 36, a Muslim convert from west London was convicted for 10 years in 2005.
A Muslim activist was arrested in east London over allegations of encouraging terrorism. Abu Izzadeen is of Jamaican origin and converted to Islam in early adulthood. A Muslim convert called Dhiren Barot was sentenced to 40 years for bomb plots.
Australian Guantanamo detainee David Hicks will be sent home to serve nine months in prison – the ex-kangaroo skinner (What a job description!) was captured in Afghanistan as a Taliban fighter.
I could list more examples, but the above illustrates the point and there are comprehensive lists of a more general kind of conversion to Islam on the web.
There also those converts who are apologists of terror acts. As this behaviour is more subjective opinion, and therefore possibly libellous, I shall not name anyone (cowardice I know, but these are PC times we live in), however these people are given plenty of air time on TV, especially on those late night Muslim rants put on as community TV after midnight, and hosted by women journalists who couldn’t walk the streets in Saudi Arabia for fear of the purity police, but insist that Islam is the ideal way of life for women 😅

We should all remember that Islamism, is only the latest in a string of “ism’s” that have threatened the free world, from Communism, Fascism, Nazism, and Stalinism, to Totalitarianism. Islamism is just the latest reactionary ideology that threatens to kill equality, freedom and secularism wherever it is present. Its victory could only lead to a world of injustice and domination: men over women, fundamentalists over others.
The foot soldiers of its attacks are listed above, and even ordinary Muslims should fear these people.
Only one Link says it all:
MANIFESTO: Together facing the new totalitarianism
Update 2008: British Muslim convert Nicky Reilly (aka Mohamed Abdulaziz Rashid Saeed-Alim)
who was jailed for life, after partially blowing himself up in May 2008
in an Exeter restaurant toilet cubicle, in a failed suicide attack - he
was described in court as the 'least cunning person ever to have been charged with terrorism'
i.e. thick as two short planks, with Asperger's syndrome and learning
difficulties ... he got stuck in the toilet as he prepared the blast,
leaving one of the bottles to go off before he could leave the cubicle. Almost the perfect poster boy example of the personalty type who convert.

Further Update 2016: Nicky Reilly hanged himself in his prison cell in 2016

Sadly, the estblishment are still trying to cover up and deny the extent of the problem.
ReplyDeletePartly because it was themn who made the rules that allowed Islam to come into the west, so they have to deny the problem in case they get the blame.
