Mass Insanity

When delusions supersede facts and societies refuse to defend their identities, madness becomes logical-and collapse is imminent.

The people warning the West about Islam and demographic change often do not understand it. The people defending Islam and migration often refuse to examine it. Mass Insanity challenges both.

Theo Alistair's investigation began in the aftermath of 9/11 while he was living in New York City. Driven to understand not only the men who carried out the attacks but the far larger number who approved of them, he spent the next twenty years studying radical Islamic movements. His research took him across Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, and Syria, where he interviewed hundreds of extremists. Crucially, he also spoke with hundreds of their victims-those who managed to rebuild their lives, and those left scarred forever.

The second edition of Mass Insanity addresses the subjects routinely avoided or distorted in public debate. Alistair pursues these questions through the Qur'an, the principal sources of sharia, and the history of Islamic movements. By applying theories of clinical, social, and criminal psychology, he analyzes both the extremist ideologies and the men who carry them.

The book examines:
The Public Debate: A direct look at terrorism, the treatment of women, sharia laws, and the refugee crisis dominating Western politics.A Forgotten History: How medieval philosophers like al-Khwarizmi, Ibn al-Rawandi, and Ibn Rushd stood up to sharia centuries ago. These surprisingly humorous chapters document how opponents of jihad and tyranny used reason and sarcasm to reject the very ideas being promoted today.Western Institutions: An exposure of how prestigious Western universities take money from radical Islamic regimes, and how jihadist movements have infiltrated the West to subvert it from within.
The World is at a critical breaking point, and the future is unknown.

The first edition of this book predicted the Israel-Hamas war and the US-Iran confrontation before either happened. This updated edition warns of further unrest across the Middle East and civil disorder spreading to Europe and North America-unless citizens and decision-makers enact real changes in how they deal with extremist ideologies and organizations.
