The beliefs of any kind of cult seem bizarre\u00a0to those outside of its grip.\u00a0 Jim Jonnes\u00a0or Manson could do no better than the kind of twisted brainwash that results from belief in Islam.<\/p>\n

Sure, not every believer in Islam is an extremist.<\/p>\n

\n

Defeated but unrepentant, some jihadists limping out of their besieged final bastion in eastern Syria still praise the Islamic State and promise bloody vengeance against its enemies.<\/p>\n

The skeletal and dishevelled figures shuffling out of the smouldering ashes of the “caliphate” may look like a procession of zombies, but their devotion seems intact.<\/p>\n

At an outpost for US-backed forces outside the besieged village of Baghouz, 10 women stand in front of journalists, pointing their index fingers to the sky in a gesture used by IS supporters to proclaim the oneness of God.<\/p>\n

They shout in unison: “The Islamic State is here to stay!”<\/p>\n

Most refuse to disclose their names or nationalities.<\/p>\n

Indistinguishable under their identical black robes, a group of women arriving at the screening point manned by the Syrian Democratic Forces swarm around reporters like hornets.<\/p>\n

Some throw rocks at the cameras of those trying to film them, while one screams at a photographer and calls him a pig.<\/p>\n

Another grabs the uncovered hair of a female reporter, saying: “Have you not read the Koran, are you not ashamed?”<\/p>\n

A third woman snarks at the way the reporter is dressed: “God curses women who resemble men”.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

People can not seem to understand that many, if not most, Islamic women do not see themselves as being “freed” from anything.\u00a0 Like Jehovah\u00a0Witnesses or any other bend in the mind…they see the rest of us as repugnant and lost.<\/p>\n

I really have a hard time with people that do not see this kind of thing for what it is…a mental illness.\u00a0 If an invisible friend tells you to hate other people, please seek professional help.<\/p>\n
