IT is well established within the mental health field that a child’s formative development (from birth to age 3) sets the stage for adaptive or maladaptive behavior. Duly noted, children from high-risk environments can not only survive but thrive too, that is, with early and proper intervention.
The fact that children are affected by their surroundings is too obvious to bear repeating. Child development specialists have produced decades of research showing that the environment of a child’s earliest years can have effects that last a lifetime.
Thanks to recent advances in technology, we have a clearer understanding of how these effects are related to early brain development. Neuroscientists can now identify patterns in brain activity that appear to be associated with some types of negative early experiences.1
But the long-term effects of early stress, poverty, neglect and maltreatment were well documented and virtually uncontested years before we could “see” them with brain scanning tools. So why should we need an understanding of brain development to show us how important children’s earliest experiences are for their well-being? Isn’t neuroscience just telling us what we already know?
Actually, there are several reasons why we should pay attention to the evidence provided by neuroscience. For instance, it may help us learn exactly how experiences affect children. This knowledge can aid our efforts to help children who are at risk and to undo, where possible, the effects of early adversity. Additionally, neuroscientists may help us learn when experiences affect children. If there are specific periods of vulnerability to certain types of experiences, then understanding these patterns will improve our attempts at intervention…..continue reading the developmental facts here….as evidenced within countless studies alike.
BY extrapolation, while on an individual basis positive outcomes are, indeed, achievable for children reared under adverse scenarios, the same cannot be said when children are raised within the (shame-based) cultural and religious underpinnings of Islam – discomfiting and disquieting as it is for non-Muslim westerners to internalize. Get over it.
BE that as it may, the above is a major contributory factor to why Muslims not only hate infidels but each other. In the main, Sunnis and Shiites despise each other, and both abhor Sufis as well as other Islamic sects. Still yet, special animus is reserved for Jews and Christians. To wit, they are able to place aside their intra-fighting (for hegemonic rule) for a long enough period to join forces and vent their murderous Jihad onto the “Saturday and Sunday” people – as instructed by their supreme role-model and prophet, Mohammad.
AND it is into this vortex of (global) Jihadi hell that a preeminent scholar and subject matter expert enters the fray, Dr. Nancy Hartevelt Kobrin. Dear reader, to recognize what animates the Jihadi’s rage-fueled mindset, just take a glimpse into a few snippets from her volume of scholarship – see here and here – in addition to this expert’s book review of her most recent work, “The Jihadi Dictionary.”
SO, it is with the above firmly implanted in mind that it is imperative to imbibe Dr. Kobrin’s recent evaluative “diagnosis”; that which will not only shed further (mental) light on the global menace the free world is facing, but empower PC multicultural devotees to realize that no amount of largess, prostration, and overall appeasement will dissuade Allah’s committed soldiers, Mohammedans, from Jihad.

The Case of Khalil Jabarin: A Palestinian Wind-Up Toy – September 19, 2018 – Islamic Theology of Counter Terrorism – ITCT
Seventeen year old Khalil Jabarin violently murdered Ari Fuld who left a wife and four children on Sunday the 16th of September 2018. Jabarin is now being referred to as “a child” by the Palestinian Authority. While technically he is a minor and his parents say that they informed the Palestinian Authority and Israeli military forces, the parents should still be held accountable because the need to hate and the need to have an enemy is in place by age three. Jabarin learned to hate Jews as he imbibed unconsciously the murderous rage which swirled around him and through him as a little child, all occurring in the home behind closed doors. While it is hard to know what exactly went on, what we can say post-murder is that he held murderous sadistic fantasies that he acted out through the brutal murder. Little do we talk about child rearing practices and the unconscious in the development of the jihadis’ violent mind. This lays the groundwork for neuroscience and cognitive behavior psychology when researching the behavior of the jihadi.
Shame honor cultures unconsciously manufacture violent children as if they were destructive wind-up toys and all before indoctrination or what is patently called brainwashing. The Palestinian shame honor culture like all Arab and non-Arab Muslim cultures are especially brutal in its aggressive violent treatment of its own children. They treat them as objects not as children with real needs and desires. Needs are considered dirty in shame honor cultures and “the dirt”- – their toxic rage, is projected on to us and acted out. In a shame honor culture, one can’t get their needs met in appropriate ways. They have no boundaries so they exploit boundaries that exist. It is palpable as can be seen in Palestinian propaganda, the military parades, and the weaponizing balloon, a simple child’s toy.
All of the aforementioned have long unconscious histories of generations that propelled such perverse doers into perpetuating a communal self-fulfilling destructive fantasy. Khalil harbored a pervasive rage that exceeds murder itself. We see such rage on the Arab street or in Gaza at the border. This is because the lethal ideologies harness the preexisting unconscious sadomasochistic fantasies that have been seething below the surface throughout the child’s development for years. It merely gets triggered by the incitement at a later point. The turning on and off of the incitement faucet has an overlooked, yet critical unconscious dimension that acts as a trigger, making it combustible.
An online comment was posted that the entire village where Jabarin lived, should be razed. The comment alludes to the clichéd phrase – “It takes a village to raise a child.” The razing also alludes to the Israeli military practice of destroying the homes of terrorists.
This practice makes concrete one of the worst curses in Arabic – “May your house be destroyed.” The IDF merely replies in “Palestinese” – the concrete autistic language of their shame honor world in order to send a message that specifically speaks to them. The house embodies the entire paranoid family unit and brings shame and humiliation upon them for wrongdoing. These enmeshed families have no boundaries, hence a lot of sexual abuse, raising personalities that are destructive and raze “things” never assuming responsibility nor apologizing.
The Islamic theology must also change because Jabarin acted out the famous Hadith: “Oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind the tree, come and kill him. . .” This is part of the Palestinians’ reverse world where good is bad and bad is good. Jabarin is one of countless numbers of other Palestinian children who have been “pimped” by their own parents and will continue to be used to murder the Jews until its people admit to and take charge of the problem of hatred before the kids even go to school.
What is to be done with a culture that has completely gone off the rails? We have to stay the course, be strong as Miriam Fuld told her children, maintain boundaries, and pressure the Palestinian community into completely gutting their destructive child rearing practices. The recent withdrawal of U.S. funding for the Palestinian Authority sends such a message. It is ironic too that Israeli Arabs bitterly complain about gun violence in their intracommunal existence yet they separate it out from the violence committed by Jabarin even though it too is inherent in their shame honor world. All these cultures cause the violence and influence one another like a contagion because unchecked aggression breeds aggression and more murder.
One of Golda Meir’s most famous quotes which some say is not verifiable, nevertheless it does get the psychology right: “Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us. Tragically Jabarin reveals how much his parents must have hated him unconsciously even though they may deny it to the end.
INEXTRICABLY, the scene below is a demonstrable and direct knock-on effect (out of countless) of the rage-fueled, maladaptive rearing within Islamic culture!
