Moslems´ Dissonant Response to the Jews
Alan M. Goldberg, Esq.

Night after night we hear the Middle East experts
pontificating on the issues at stake in the
Arab(Moslem)/Israeli conflict. None has ever
addressed the underlying cause of the conflict.
The «problem« is religious/psychological.
Identifiable patterns and historical trends have
emerged over time that have revealed the
psychological aspects of Moslems´ religious
fanaticism. The phenomenon underlying this
conflict is «cognitive dissonance.« This is the
name of a condition in which a person or people
grow tense when forced to accept mutually
exclusive ideas. Over time, the tension builds and
a release valve is needed. In its broadest sense,
the dissonance arises when Moslems are forced,
upon pain of Hell, to believe that their religion
is the true religion but the facts on the ground
suggest otherwise. In its micro-analysis, the
pinpoint source of the tension is Jerusalem.

The reason for the Moslem war against Judaism in
our time is that, in the last 120 years, the
Moslems have witnessed the Jews surpass them,
theologically, culturally and militarily, and the
tension has increased. In our day, the tension has
burst through Moslem society. Moslems attack Jews
in particular because Jewish success, especially
theological, causes Moslems to question the truth
of Islam. Moslems are suffering the effects of
cognitive dissonance and the release valve is Jew
hatred....."

".....Once again, history is repeating itself. In
the 20th century Europe took a third of the Jewish
people, and the 21st century is opening with the
Moslems trying to take away a third of the Jewish
country along with the Temple Mount. The Jews are
the sacrificial lamb to appease the ravenous
Moslems. The non-Jewish nations continue to devour
Israel yet they do not become more robust (Gn.
41:17-21). What is needed is a value judgment: the
Moslems have no legitimate theological claim to
the land. It must be said over and over by Jews
everywhere. What are Jews to do about Moslem
insecurity about their faith? Give them a shoulder
upon which to cry (watch your neck), but, do not
give up our divine inheritance to make them feel
better....
