Islam: Libido Unleashed?

David Yeagley

May 15, 2013

Islam is Freudian libido unleashed. Under the robes of dark religion,

the system of Islam glorifies the most naked, destructive passions of

human nature. Libidoundefined sexual energyis expressed in

gruesome death. Among civilized people libido finds more tolerable

expression through creative sublimation, such as art; but in Islam,sublimation is removed.

Sigmund Freud (1856-1939), the famous Viennese Jewish

psychologist, father of the couch, or confessional talk therapy,

introduced a profound sexual theory in which libido explained what

was formerly called mayhem and cannibalism. In The Future of an

Illusion (1927), Freud suggests cannibalism, along with incest, was

an instinct. Cannibalism, always involving mayhem, is directly linked

to libido. In Totem and Taboo (1918), Freud describes various casesof incest, and suggests that sexual taboos develop precisely around

the most powerful but self-destructive desires. (Civilization simply

harnesses or re-channels these dreadful desires.)

But Islam glories in removing sexual taboos. The brutality of Islam,

so unprecedented in modern times, is the studied absence of civilized

inhibition.

What inspires such horrid Islamic acts of bodily dismembermentthe

beheadings, the chopping off of body parts, the compulsive delight in

blowing to pieces the human body, and the ghastly acts of

cannibalism?

Libido.

Barbarity we thought characterized more primitive man, in moreprimitive times. Tribal people have always relished the grotesque.

Indulgent violence is part of what it means to be heathen.

But, according to Freud, barbarity is man, at any time, primordial,

bizarre, and even mystical.

Cannibalism, as sexual desire, is the ultimate union of two separate

entities. Union, the coming together of separate entities, is the

object of all sexual desire. By cannibalism, two entities become one

in the most literal way. (This union accounts for the thinly

sublimated cannibalism of the vampire legend, and the everlasting

popularity of the Dracula story.)

Mayhem is only the foreplay of cannibalism. Murderers who have

eaten the bodies (or body parts) of their victims always dismember

the body first.

Islam, world famous for mayhem, is also famous for cannibalism.

The religion of Islam honors this very worst human denigration.(And Muslims accuse Jews of blood eating? This is simply projection,

with an odd twist of impotence.)

Islamic abuse of women, the brutal beatings, killings, and

dismemberings, are normative in Islam. On the other hand, the

reward of the faithful is a harem of seventy virgins. Islamic reality

and fantasy clearly exhibit psycho-pathological conflict and

perversion.

Islams notorious terrorisma suicidal perverts mass-murderingslaughteris mayhem on steroids. Mayhem en masse. Delight in

this practice is a clarion declaration of sexual perversion in the

Freudian sense. The lust for killing (mentioned in The Future of an

Illusion) is clearly sexual in naturedemonstrated by the nature of its

exhibition: mayhem, or dismemberment. Islamic cannibalism is but

the climax of the psychological perversion.

Islam may also involve supernatural influence. Normally, sexual

desire is sublimated by religious energy and its culturalaccoutrements. But, what today is called radicalization of a Muslim

simply means the person is given to the libido unleashed, through the

supernaturalexpressed through long-established cultural modes.

But Freud warned the young Swiss psychologist Carl Jung

(1875-1961) to keep sexual theory separate from the

supernatural. Jung recalls a conversation with Freud in 1907 (in

Vienna):

My dear Jung, promise me never to abandon the sexual theory.

That is the most essential thing of all. You see, we must make a

dogma of it, an unshakable bulwark against the black tide of mudof

occultism. See, C. G. Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections, ed.

Aniela Jaff, trans. Richard Winston (1961; rpt. New York: Vintage,

1989), p.150. Sex is more manageable than the supernatural.

So, the power of Islam is libido unleashed by the impetus of the

supernatural. It is precisely belief in the supernatural, which

unleashes the libido. It may be that all religion is liable for some

degree of amalgamation with unleashed libido. Indeed, Freud says as

much in Civilization and its Discontents (1929).

Yet, Judeo-Christian westerners understand religion as a restraint.

Ancient Hebrew religion involved animal slaughter (sacrifice) for food,

but modern Judaism no longer has such a ritual. Christianity, on the

other hand, aggrandizes the historical slaughter of one human being,

for forgiveness, thus psychologically turning the libido on its head,

and does finally allow religion to function as a restraint.

But Islam shows us how lethal libido is unleashed through belief in

magic, in the context of barbarous cultural identity with historical,

collective support.
