“Cultural and social norms are highly influential in shaping individual behaviour, including the use of violence. Norms can protect against violence, but they can also support and encourage the use of it. For instance, cultural acceptance of violence, either as a normal method of resolving conflict or as a usual part of rearing a child, is a risk factor for all types of interpersonal violence. It may also help explain why countries experiencing high levels of one type of violence also experience increased levels of other types. Social tolerance of violent behaviour is likely learned in childhood, through the use of corporal punishment or witnessing violence in the family, in the media or in other settings.”

“A politically incorrect point must be noted here. Of the countries where women are held back and subjected to systematic abuses such as honor killings and genital cutting, a very large proportion are predominantly Muslim. Most Muslims worldwide don’t believe in such practices, and some Christians do – but the fact remains that the countries where girls are cut, killed for honor, or kept out of school or the workplace typically have large Muslim populations. To look at one broad gauge of well-being, of 130 countries rated in 2008 by the World Economic Forum according to the status of women, 8 of the bottom 10 were majority Muslim. Yemen was in last place, with Chad. Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan right behind it. No Muslim country ranks in the top 40.

Can anyone claim given the evidence
the Islam-Muslim culture-ideology will create Islam-Muslim Altruist Terrorists called
Islamists and as the ratio of Muslim to Other increases not only will Other cultures
be subject to increasing violence and social/political marginalisation, women including
Muslim women will increasingly find themselves in a much worse position than the
previous social/political influence of Other cultures enabled? Pertinently sufficient
evidence exists of the inherent cultural nature of the Islam-Muslim culture to significantly
moral shift not only at the individual level but at cultural-ideology State level
from moderate to cleansing/blasphemous/terror mode.
Given the significance of negative outcomes for humanity for any number of variables aligned to the relative numbers of Muslims residing in any space to determine it is only the 'few' and not the culture-ideology framing relationships ethics social/political method inclusive of violence simply cannot be true. For how can only a few across many different nation States inform the same negative outcomes in such a consistent manner across time and space where many other cultures-ideologies have the same marginalised, resource deficits but do not inform the same negative effect on such a scale, it is simply not possible. Could it be the assurances we have been given as to the underlying construct of Other including Muslims determined as hypocrites is not one of acceptance, innocents, live and let live, within the Muslim sacred ethic social/political method source?
The same culture-ideology leaving 22 dead in Iranian streets kills citizens in our own streets yet we do nothing we protect the religion which kills, maims, subjugates and determine those opposed to such insanity as bigots, deviants - the propensity of humans for invention via social imagination of the most absurd destructive behavoral constructs is manifest.

and those in whose hearts is a disease, and those who stir up sedition
in the city, desist not, we shall certainly stir thee up against them: then will
they not be able to stay in it as thy neighbours for any length of time: (those to be
cleansed from the neighbourhood are not only those determined as 'stirring up

categories of peoples the culture determine 'diseased'?)

they are found, they shall be seized and slain (without mercy). (There is no

“Societal functions are performed by people in interconnected roles accomplishing standard actions within venues that have needed instruments and supplies. Examples include families breakfasting, physicians examining patients, lawyers conferring with clients, teachers querying students, and clergy conducting funerals. An enculturated individual understands what is going on in each such locale and can participate when that individual has an operative role-identity in the situation .
Navigating between societal functions involves defining situations in order to choose interconnected role -identities for self and others. For instance, an individual entering a building labeled as a hospital is primed to expect medically related interactions. When encountering someone, the individual searches among hospital identities—such as doctor, nurse , patient , visitor , or staffer—while attending to cues such as attire or verbalizations like “I’m Doctor Fix” in order to find the interconnected role-identities best suited for other and self—doctor–patient, nurse–doctor, or visitor–staffer, etc. Then social interaction is constructed within the framework of the interrelated roles.
Contemporary civilizations contain thousands of role -identities, and each person has hundreds of identities for the self (MacKinnon and Heise 2010), so settling on an immediate set of operative identities, with agreement across individuals at the scene, can be challenging. The claim here is that individuals manage to define situations and perform societal functions through their implicit knowledge of social institutions, which allows them to recognize the locales, actors, and actions that they encounter, thereby foregrounding a manageable number of role-identities for self and others in the given situation. Every institution comprises a body of knowledge that defines the institutionalized areas of conduct and designates all situations falling within them. It defines and constructs the roles to be played in the context of the institutions in question. Ipso facto, it controls and predicts all such conduct. Since this knowledge is socially objectivated as knowledge, that is, as a body of generally valid truths about reality, any radical deviance from the institutional order appears as a departure from reality. Such deviance may be designated as moral depravity, mental disease, or just plain ignorance . (Berger and Luckmann 1966: 83) Individuals enact societal functions by jointly applying their institutional knowledge, settling on an institutional frame, embodying selected role -identities, and undertaking actions associated with their role assignments.
This account proposes that individuals’ knowledge of social institutions works as a bridge between individual definitions and societal functioning. Anthropologist Goodenough (1961: 522) formulated these two poles as two cultures : “culture 1, the recurring patterns [social structure and social process] which characterize a community as a homeostatic system, and culture 2, people’s standards for perceiving, judging, and acting. Culture 1, moreover, is an artifact or product of the human use of culture 2. … Individuals can be said to possess culture 2 but not culture 1, which is the property of a community as a social ecological system.” In Goodenough’s framework social institutions correspond to “disparate public cultures,” where a public culture consists of “perceptual and conceptual features embedded in the meanings of the vocabulary of language and other public symbols ,” plus shared knowledge and beliefs, shared conventions, rules, and recipes regarding behavioral activities, and a shared value system. “The more complex the community or society , then the greater the number of disparate public cultures which are likely to obtain and the fewer the number of situations and contexts for which there is a public culture pertaining to the society as a whole” (Goodenough 1961: 524).
Berger and Luckmann (1966: 92–93) also considered the duality of shared knowledge and societal functioning. “Institutions’ linguistic objectifications, from their simple verbal designations to their incorporation in highly complex symbolizations of reality, … represent them (that is, make them present) in experience. And they may be symbolically represented by physical objects, both natural and artificial. All these representations, however, become ‘dead’ (that is, bereft of subjective reality) unless they are ongoingly ‘brought to life’ in actual human conduct. The representation of an institution in and by roles is thus the representation par excellence.” For Berger and Luckmann , shared knowledge is the quintessence of social life, and language is the means for creating and maintaining knowledge. “Language objectivates the shared experiences and makes them available to all within the linguistic community , thus becoming both the basis and the instrument of the collective stock of knowledge. Furthermore, language provides the means for objectifying new experiences, allowing their incorporation into the already existing stock of knowledge, and it is the most important means by which the objectivated and objectified sedimentations are transmitted” (Berger and Luckmann 1966: 85–86). Because “language and the cognitive apparatus based on language, … orders [the world] into objects to be apprehended as reality” (Berger and Luckmann 1966: 84), institutional worlds are experienced as objective realities, even though originating from verbalizations about activities that were emergent solutions to joint problems. These classic statements linking individual knowledge , subjective culture , and social institutions imply that individuals have knowledge about social institutions.”(Heise, Heise et al. 2019)

True "Words are dangerous weapons."

True "words matter"
Why are both statements true?
When a person reads words contained within a cultural sacred ideological codex text, be it secular or religious, one will see literally or analogised in the adherents behavior past, present, and know with relative certainty that the future holds the exact same behavior as detailed in the cultures codex ethical social/political method word template. Believing you, or your culture will be spared or it’s worth the sacrifice of the lives of your fellow citizens to manage such an abhorrent ideological construct into your streets is pathological altruism.
What do we know happens when you allow the normalisation of extreme violence of a culture's altruists justified authorised method of punishment/alignment/conversion in a society, give such violence 'serious consideration', in fact blame the very victims for the cultures terror-genocide against them - give the cultures extreme violence the imprimatur of justified reaction against unreasonable fear of what the culture can and does do, the political/social forms, subjugation and cleansed neighbourhoods, this culture will create given the time and space to do so?
Western security policy is based on a lie: Islamic-Muslim (good-spiritual) Islamist (evil-religion) Dichotomy Paradigm. Religion is needed to define the state of spirituality (relation to the entity-spiritual state), Islam-Muslims and Islamists are therefore derived from the same source of cultural codex, walk the same cultural family, institution development floors. It follows, as night follows day, the so-called Islamist-terrorists are "defeated", as we see every time in every space they will be replaced by Islam-Muslims because they are Islam-Muslims and always have been.
When you base policy on a lie what invariably happens – Yes the architect and builders of an edifice with such shoddy foundations, crumbling to the ground as it takes many precious lives with it, blame everyone else except themselves for the policy abyss of their own making.

"Pathological altruism is found in any pattern of altruistic behavior that results in severe harm to oneself or others. However, the pathological altruists thinking is also irrational and distorted. That is to say, his or her thinking appears to be characterised by a suspension of logic and reason and respect to the outcomes of their actions.
Pathological altruism victimizes the altruists themselves, as well as those in their path."

“Without errors there is no possibility for improvement.” (Lindenfors 2017)
“Results show that error management culture compels employees to lead out of a sense of duty and responsibility (i.e., social-normative motivation to lead (MTL)) as well as to develop leadership skills.
The proactivity literature supports this finding because a constructive approach to errors creates a supportive and autonomous situational context that motivates employees to adopt a proactive orientation towards work.
That is, supportive contextual cues build employees’ confidence, perceived control, psychological ownership, psychological safety, and positive affect. These positive psychological states collectively encourage employees to take responsibility for setting, striving towards, and accomplishing goals (Grant & Parker, 2009; Parker, Bindl, &Strauss, 2010).
In contrast, a punitive approach to errors appears to increase the perceived psychological costs of leading. Results indicate that employees are less likely to be motivated to lead – when they like to be in charge (i.e., affective-identity MTL) or when they do not see benefits or perquisites associated with leading (noncalculative MTL) – in an error aversion culture.
In such a constraining environment, employees may experience low psychological safety, low control over outcomes, and negative affect, diminishing their motivation to lead. These findings imply that significant costs exist to avoiding and punitively reacting to errors. (Maurer, Hartnell & Lippstreu 2017)
“Biased assimilation occurs when perceptions of new evidence are interpreted in such a way as to be assimilated into pre-existing assumptions and expectations. Because this bias may not be deliberate, people suspect the motives of others who do not share their evaluations, and the bias is difficult to overcome...

the very nature and meaning of how the new evidence is perceived. The perceptual
system relies on assumptions and expectations to make sense of an inherently ambiguous
world. We see what we expect to see, and experience what we expect to experience.’ (Lord &

"Just
as cultural variation clearly dictates the language children eventually speak, cultural
variation exerts significant and differential influences over mental, emotional,
and social development of children. Every culture is characterized, and distinguished
from other cultures, by deep-rooted and widely acknowledged ideas about how one
needs to feel, think, and act as a functioning member of the culture. These beliefs
and behaviors shape how parents rear their offspring. Culture helps to construct
parents and parenting, just as culture helps to define mental health. Culture is
also maintained and transmitted by influencing parental cognitions that in turn
shape parenting practices. Whether culturally universal or specific, controls are
in place to ensure that each new generation acquires culturally appropriate and
normative patterns of beliefs and behaviors."

"Even in integrated theories that account for both personal and situational factors (see Anderson & Bushman, 2002), the bulk of the explanatory power is placed on the individual. In other words, the classic developmental and personality theories of aggression do not necessarily constitute theories of group aggression, yet groups commit and receive more aggression than individuals (Meier & Hinsz, 2004).

“There are more ways .. to understand cooperation in humans. Most notably these concern cultural group selection and spatial selection; that we can sacrifice ourselves from groups we belong to, such as nations, religions or ideologies, and that we tend to cooperate with those in our proximity, or move closer to those we cooperate well with.
All
explanations, however, are aimed at understanding the same crucial dilemma: the
conditions for when one individual will absorb the cost for another. Thus all proposed
explanations come down to answering the question in the title: For Whose Benefit?
Or, if you prefer Latin: Cui bono?
In cases in nature where there seems to exist no short – all long – term benefit to the self-sacrificing individual – the individual taking the cost – the answer can instead come down to benefits for lower level units, what Richard Dawkins has termed replicators: genes or ‘memes‘." (Lindenfors 2017, p. 3)
“Cooperation creates order from disorder by repeating the same procedure over and over. Genes, cells and memes are copied; individuals reproduce. Genes are structured in DNA, cells are structured in organs, neurons are structured in brain components, humans are structured in groups (e.g. Ethnic or professional groups), memes are structured into different fields of knowing or cultural constructs.” (Lindenfors 2017, p. 7)
Terror of the 'few' in time works from a particular culture's historical-perspective and determined necessary otherwise the method would not exist, and more importantly it was nor ever is only the 'few', claiming you can adapt to terror by being more resilient and accommodate the Insurgents-Terrorists by managing them into your streets, having the cultures adherents infiltrate your security apparatus and political institutions will result in your cultures destruction however powerful you deem your culture to be even at the bitter end. There is no such thing as a ‘moderate’ embedded in the same cultural spectrum (Dominiczak 2013) as insurgent-terrorists walking from the ‘moderates’ families, communities and institutions.

“To the extent that living beings diverge from the specific type, are they abnormal in that they endanger the specific form or are they inventors on the road to new forms?” (Georges 1991)
Although your own culture through the existence of sacred foundation precepts and exemplar behavior justified authorised potentially permanent removal of terror-genocide from your cultural ethics-beliefs social/political method rationale model to inform a liberal-democratic space (Siedentop 2014); terror-genocide which enabled your culture in the past, in time over hundreds of years, to wear down-infiltrate-destroy-supplant another culture, to assume or simply hope other cultures can change, undergo an Obama hoped for “reformation” to the "modern" (Stone 2016), from utilising the exact same methodology by the removal-defeat (Stone 2016) of a perceived cluster (Dominiczak 2013) of ethics embedded in a cultures behavoral variance, when the culture has no similar sacred foundation precepts nor exemplar template justifying authorising such a change; terror-genocide systemically emanates historically currently from the culture despite the same protestations of cultural innocents and loyalty your very own culture made as you destroyed previous cultures determines once again history has been written down to be wasted on fools.
The Islam Islamist Dichotomy Paradigm logic determines being obstinately attached to a belief, opinion, and intolerant towards other people's religious or secular script, schema, beliefs and practices which systemically = terror-genocide and misogyny is unreasonable, deviant. Who could reject such 'sociological imagination', based upon how the world actually works not how we would hope it would nor for self/organisational/cultural-serving 'false imagining' I do.

“Cultures are those patterns of belief and behavior that orient life and provide it significance. They constitute the human kingdom by organizing reality and indicating what we ought to do and avoid. Cultures are humankind’s distinctive and immediate environment built from the material order by men and women’s creative effort. Cultures are those webs we stitch together to direct societal practice, the embodiments of our living as persons in community. Max Weber calls them the “webs of significance” within which the human species uniquely lives. Echoing the same theme, anthropologists since E. B. Taylor have contended that we are dependent on the inheritance and transmission of cultural forms or we cannot exist as a species. I speak of a universal practice—all humans are cultural beings…
Realities
called “cultures” are inherited and built from symbols that shape our action, identity,
thoughts, and sentiment.” (Christians 2007)
“A
recurring lesson in social psychology is that individuals act on the beliefs that
they perceived to be widespread in their society, community, and group (e.g., Cialdini
& Trost, 1998; Jetten, Postmes, & McAuliffe, 2002; Latane & Darley,
1968; Mead, 1934; Newcomb, 1961; Paluck, 2009; Sherif, 1936). When making everyday
interpretations, individuals tend to rely on the ideas they assume are shared –
on “common sense” or social representations (Moscovici, 1976). Yet this lesson has
commanded little attention in cross-cultural literature (c.f. Kashmia, 2008). Cultural
variations and social cognition have been explained almost exclusively in terms
of what individuals see inside themselves (self-concepts, personal values and beliefs)
rather than what individuals see when looking outward at their social environments
(Markus & Kitayama, 1991; Schwartz, 1992; Triandis, 1989). The focus of cross-cultural
research on individuals' private, inward views is particularly surprising given that
culture is generally understood to be a collective phenomenon that exists, to some
extent, externally and publicly (Geertz, 1973).” (Zou et al. 2009)
“Morality is presumed to develop through community formation and not in the obscure sanctums of isolated individuals. Moral values are situated in the cultural context rather than anchored by theoretical abstractions. It gives ethics its proper orientation. It contradicts the Western tradition of extrinsic morality and situates the moral domain in culture instead. Morality is grounded in community understanding. Reciprocal care and understanding, rooted in emotion and experience and not in formal consensus, are the basis on which moral discourse is possible.” (Christians 2007)

"In the first place, ideologies (culture) provide a perspective, or 'lens', through which the world is understood and explained. People do not see the world as it is, but only as they expect it to be: in other words, they see it through a veil of ingrained beliefs, opinions and assumptions. Whether consciously or subconsciously everyone subscribes to a set of political beliefs and values that guide their behaviour and influence their conduct. Political ideas and ideologies thus set goals that inspire political activism. .... a, unifying set of political ideas and values can develop naturally within society, or it can be enforced from above in an attempt to manufacture obedience and exercise control. The clearest examples of such 'official' ideas have been found in fascist, communist and religious fundamentalist regimes."

“….political socialization begins earlier and faster than previously suspected, and is evident among young children.
….the
agents of political socialization impart narratives of the ethos of conflict and
of collective memory in young children that support continuation of the conflict.
….the great majority of the young children form systematic and coherent systems of beliefs, attitudes, and emotions that support the conflict as a result of political socialization and direct exposure to conflict.
….the conflict-related contents absorbed by children have lasting effects on the solidification of children’s later socio-psychological repertoire.”

"Despite deeply conservative and gendered regulation, brutal violence, and widespread coverage of the group’s use of rape, more than 600 women have left Western countries to join Daesh. Researchers explain this recruitment primarily through women’s desire for romantic adventure, deception on social media, and anti-Western sentiment spurred by discrimination and violence in their home states. Using an original dataset of social media activity from seventeen Western female recruits between 2011-2015, we evaluate these arguments and offer a new explanation centered on a religious and political ideology that necessitates a physical hijra (migration) to Iraq or Syria. We find consistent evidence that anti-Western sentiment and ideological commitment drive women’s migration. This finding has valuable implications for counterterrorism policy and security studies, which tend to treat women’s mobilization as separate from general extremism. Our findings suggest female recruits should be taken seriously as motivated insurgents intent on establishing an Islamic caliphate."

"Kochanska and Akasan (2006) conscience is a personality system that gets coherently organised early in life and is relatively stable over time. Individual differences in conscience emerge as a complex interplay between children's temperamental individuality and socialisation in the family.
Kochanska and Knaack (2003) also looked at a negative influence of maternal power-assertive child-rearing style on the development of conscience. This relation was indeed found, and it is interesting that it was found to be mediated by the child's effort control (EC). In other words, this study suggested that maternal power-assertive discipline may impair the child's development of EC, which in turn may impair his or her development of conscience."

"..children raised in religious households, who are perceived to be more empathetic and sensitive to justice, are in fact less altruistic to their own class mates .... children from religious households also differ in their ratings of deserved punishment for interpersonal harm (F(2, 847) = 5.80, p < 0.01, h2 = 0.014); this was qualified by significantly harsher ratings of punishment by children from Muslim households than children from non-religious households (p < 0.01).

".. categorizing is a practical and contingent matter. Category work then should not be thought of in abstract terms – it is closely tied to actions and serves to justify what has happened in the past, and prepare the ground for future actions. In some cases, the cohesion of categories is maintained by joint commitment to future actions. Neither is categorizing an individual matter – we have seen that it is coordinated, not just between allies but also between enemies. How categories develop is contingent on the situation, but it also draws on given cultural resources, which are provided by language (Nekvapil, 2002)."

"The Multilevel Selection Theory (MST) approach thinks of the group as being akin to a single reproductive unit, and, given that groups with more altruists are more successful in terms of inclusive fitness, the MST approach argues that the success of an altruist-dominant group increases the reproductive success of the constituent individuals comprising that group (i.e., group-level selection). By this reasoning, inclusive fitness is not only promoted at the individual level that also by group level selections pressures....
A concomitant of the group selection process is an evolutionary-based predisposition to conform to group norms, to make distinctions between ingroups and outgroups, and to enforce compliance to rules and norms, even at the cost to group members (Richerson & Boyd, 2005)...
Higgins, Feldman, and Ruble (1980) noted that mere social category knowledge, acquired from the direct experience, may be adequate for generating prosocial behaviour, and its deployment is probably less effortful than perspective taking or empathising.
...
It became clear that learning can occur without direct reinforcement, merely from observation (e.g., Bandura,1997)."

"Human populations vary in their degree of polygyny, corresponding with factors such as high male mortality in war and high pathogen stress (Ember et al., 2007). Polygyny is most abundant where males are heterogeneous in the quality of their territories and in human societies when there is substantial inequality in resources and social status (Borgerhoff Mulder, 1990; Orians, 1969). The degree of polygyny likely reflects the intensity of male mating competition. Higher levels of competition would be associated with higher male mortality rates."

Male Mortality Rates, Daniel J. Kruger, April 1, 2010
"In addition to male scarcity and pathogen stress, cross-cultural researchers see polygyny as predicated on territorial enlargement. White and Burton (1988) reported that societies in which polygyny is common are characterized by an expansionist strategy."

"Effective polygyny means that some males gain more than their “fair share” of copulations, while other males are shut out entirely, banished from contributing to the ancestry of future generations. Such a system leads to more ferocious competition within the high-variance sex. In essence, polygyny selects for risky strategies, including those that lead to violent combat with rivals and those that lead to increased risktaking to acquire the resources needed to attract members of the high-investing sex. Violence can occur at the top as well as the bottom of the hierarchy. Given an equal sex ratio, for each man who monopolizes two women, another man is consigned to bachelorhood (Daly & Wilson, 1996). For those facing reproductive oblivion, a risky, aggressive strategy may represent a last resort. The homicide data reveal that men who are poor and unmarried are more likely to kill compared with their more affluent and married counterparts (Wilson & Daly, 1985)."

“So we learned in the family and what we did learn and the lessons we learned led to behaviour we adopted and we got habituated to, we get skilled at so our early learning drivers inform and awful lot of the way we deal with conflict and we go choose organizations where we apply those skills and it all fits within the culture so we are not people who come into conflict, like it is a new subject, we are people who come to the subject of conflict management having learnt it early, we’ve got built in ideas,.. some of the ideas we got, the way of dealing with conflict turned out to be wrong ideas.”

"Values of caring and morality can lose their power when circumstances activate and move to dominance other values. ...
Relevant to how values that lead to immoral actions can become dominant is the concept of moral equilibration. ...
..The moral principles that prohibit killing or harming other human beings are replaced by the principle of 'social good,' defined (by Nazis) as protection of the German nation from internal subversion or genetic contamination by Jews. Or loyalty and obedience to authority may become the relevant moral principles.... Although this can happen consciously, moral equilibration often occurs without awareness....A preconscious or unconscious equilibration circumvents moral conflict. As people progress along a continuum of destruction, moral equal liberation becomes more automatic" (Staub 1987, p.147).....
The authors see such a shift is an automatic response to a threat to identity into one's moral status as a member of one's group. In terms of personal goal theory, members of one's group engaging in immoral acts activates and raises in the hierarchy values of loyalty and authority over genuinely moral values, which in turn can lead to justification of immoral acts. Such value shifts can make active bystandership to oppose harmful practices or to promote peace and harmony less likely."
The Oxford Handbook of prosocial behaviour, 2015, p701-2
Nye (2011, p. 14) points out that power can be defined as resources or behavioral outcomes. He further describes each of three faces of power, faces that allow both hard and soft methods (2011, p. 91). The hard methods are the use of coercion or inducement: to change a subject’s strategies (first face); to curtail a subject’s agenda (second face); to shape a subject’s first preferences (third face). The soft methods are the use of attraction or persuasion to change a subject’s preferences in the first face (inducing behavioural change); or attraction or institutions to convince a subject of the legitimacy of one’s agenda in the second face (framing and agenda-setting); and to shape a subject’s first preferences through priming in the third face (Nye 2011, pp. 42, 91).
There
are “complex structures of culture, social relations and power that affect and constrain”
people that Nye (2011, p. 14) includes in power’s second and third faces. Wendt
(1996, pp. 57–8) notes that it is rhetorical practice that is employed as third
face power to manipulate “shared meanings and significations”

""I love Australia," she said as she was accompanied to a waiting car by police."
“As a Muslim American active in community issues I know that many of my colleagues either avoid, deny or are flummoxed by the problem of what is often called "radicalization"-- that is, alienation, politicized resentment and deep confusion about religious guidelines. That said, some of us do have some useful perspectives and some of us have reach into our communities, fragmented though they may be.
And yet. Almost nowhere do I see any government funding for prevention, done in a way that is respectful as well as effective. Outreach to Muslim leaders is done in such a way that keeps Muslims passive. Virtually all the money goes to law enforcement and of course the military.
Until there is humility and commitment instead of PR and bureaucracy, until there is real sustained engagement at all levels, we will continue in the current wasteful cycle of action and reaction. And much of the US public just wants to kill more of our Muslim brothers and sisters and has little interest in our hearts and minds.”

The Afghan people cooperated fully with the international community with a great desire to see their country peaceful and nice and prosperous and democratic, which we did. It is factors outside of Afghanistan which are more decisive with regard to security and stability of Afghanistan. Pakistan was the main factor and we all knew and the world knew: The sanctuaries there, the training grounds there, the financial resources provided to terrorism and the ideological inputs that they give to terrorism and send to Afghanistan. The second most important factor or rather equally important factor was the whole conduct of US strategy in Afghanistan.”

In the midst of the factional fights, Mao started the “Cleansing the Class Ranks Campaign (清 理阶级队伍运动)” in May 1968 and made new revolutionary committees carry it out. The campaign was “a purge designed to eliminate any and all real and imagined enemies” and “provided whoever happened to be in power with an opportunity to get rid of opponents” (MacFarquhar and Schoenhals 2006, 253). Although it originally had a well-defined target, that target became blurred and the process became uncertain. As MacFarquhar and Schoenhals (2006, 256) observe, “Local officials invariably broadened its scope and used it has an excuse to intensify the level of organized violence in general.” (Wang 2017)

"words matter" Australian Federal Police Commissioner Andrew Colvin 2015
Strategies founded upon Patience and Pathological Altruism enables enemy cultures to Dissimulate, Adapt, Discover, Improvise to Overcome.
New South Wales Attorney-General Gabrielle Upton and Australian Federal Police Commissioner Andrew Colvin determining discourse-words "matter" and are therefore "dangerous weapons" when utilised to detail the actual threat of a proven terror-genocide culture that is the Muslim culture and not the Muslim discourse-words which have, are and will if given time and the social/political space inform terror-genocide and social/political exclusion subjugation of Other cultures is simply insane behavior, pathological altruism.
Culture’s worldview matters, cultures will tell you what you want to hear, it is what cultures have done and are doing which are the true measure of a culture's word, and threat, not your hope the future will be different, it will not.

Argument:
"..the sphere of things incorporeal and intelligible, just as men define the ideas, whether envisaging them truly or falsely imagining them."
I will initially detail claims made by Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) director-general Duncan Lewis regards to Muslim terror, detail why I believe the Muslim culture as a whole is culpable for the terrorists walking from their floors, explain why it is not “blasphemous” sacrilegious, disrespectful to determine a religious ideology informs terror-genocide, detail why Muslims utilisation of terror as a conflict resolution method exists and necessitated the creation of a terror-genocide sub-schema and development processes to enable the method to be utilised, explain why Duncan Lewis’ observation it is only the ‘very few’ which are of concern may not be correct, and finally I will argue determining the Muslim method of conflict resolution terror as an accepted norm within our Western political-social space means in my opinion terror will become an increasingly accepted form of resolving-settling social or political conflicts, grievances.
In 2015 Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) director-general Duncan Lewis empathically rejected the view “Islamic extremism is in some way fostered or sponsored or supported by the Muslim religion”. He went further to claim it is “blasphemous to the extent that I can comment on someone else’s religion.”. Further stating such a connection between Islamic extremism and the Muslim religion was not “smart” and “very, very dangerous”, inferring being “smart” by not making the connection and holding the Muslim religion/Muslim culture culpable means “This problem is solvable.”. (Maiden 2015) The problem being "Islamic extremism".
In 2017 ASIO director-general Duncan Lewis stated it was only a “very few” who were “subjects of interest” and further the (Muslim) refugees or children of (Muslim) refugees involved in three fatal terror attacks were terrorists not because they are (Muslim) refugees but because of the "violent extremist interpretation of Sunni Islam that they have adopted“.(Yaxley 2017)
Please consider the following:
"When we describe one of our friends as rational, we often want to imply that they are dispassionate, logical, thoughtful, and in control of their actions.
However, to a decision scientist, “rational” means “consistency with some
model.” Rational decisions are not necessarily dispassionate, nor well-reasoned,
nor selfish. They aren’t even necessarily good decisions, from others’ perspectives.
They simply are consistent." (Huettel 2014)
Huettel (2014) raises two arguments which are pertinent to the veracity of Duncan Lewis’ statements firstly what may be determined as extreme i.e. not well-reasoned, extreme, irrational behaviour from one perspective may not be “from others’ perspectives” in fact it is irrelevant when examining a rationale system, and secondly more importantly in this case where we need to evaluate actual threat a culture represents given some religious cultures consistently inform violence(Courtois & Ford 2016) is “consistency with some model.”. It follows if it is true as we are told the ethical-belief method rationale model upon which all Muslim doctrine informing Muslim behaviour beliefs method are to be justified and authorised by ethical-beliefs social/political method categorisation-schemas-constructs within Mohammad’s Quran and behaviour; the Quran itself stipulates all which is contained within, even that which may be perceived as contradictory, irrational, extreme from one perspective, are to be, not may be, the foundation of Muslim behaviour; the Quran is the Muslim sacred worldview source of religious moral instruction; it is claimed(Nabulsi 2015) and can be verified the so called “violent extremist interpretation of Sunni Islam”, one presumes Wahhabism(Blanchard 2007), is consistent with the Quran ethical-belief social/political method rationale model; if the Muslim cultural behaviour i.e. evidence of terror-genocide, social/political subjugation of Other, murdering of those ridiculing Mohammad or the Muslim religion as occurred when Mohammad existed, particularly where and when the culture has become dominant(Guiso, Sapienza & Zingales 2003) continues consistent with the Quran ethical-belief social/political method rationale model then the claim ‘terrorists’ are not Muslim religious derived terrorists is false, the phrase “violent extremist interpretation” is false.
In my opinion it is the same logic as determining only the good behaviour, from a particular subjective perspective, of an individual’s behavioural variance is the true representation of the is-individual the negative outcomes are not-individual, and therefore the individual cannot be held culpable for the harm they cause, and worse to point out to the individual they are causing harm and should stop is not ‘smart’ in fact ’very, very dangerous’, and therefore you, not they are responsible for the resulting “backlash”, moreover you are diagnosed as suffering from a mental illness individualophobia, stigmatized, and branded deviant. Franz Kafka has been relegated to the ordinary.
To determine a cluster (Conway III & Schaller 2007) of interlinked non-contradictory ethics-values-beliefs social/political method consistently found in time and space within a cultural behavoral variance determines a dichotomy exists, is the same rationale as determining the trunk of a body is necessarily unconnected to the head and limbs, exists as an independent living entity. Lucian Conway and Mark Schallers 2007 reflection on how communication shapes culture gives an insight as to why you cannot claim an Islam Islamist Dichotomy exists given the terrorist 'Islamists' continually walk from the Islam-Muslim cultural floors, Islam Islamists have to be one and the same - for there has to be within the Islam-Muslim culture existent communication strength, immediacy, numbers imbuing those walking from the Islam-Muslim floors with the ethics-beliefs-cause and therefore motivation to carry out what is termed 'Islamist' terror - the logic is Islamists appear from no cultural rationale-communication system simply a culture without culture-it is true madness, pathological altruism, yet to disagree particularly with our security elite determines you as what and subject to what reaction?
The integrated theoretical framework for the cross-cultural study of human development(Kar 2013, p. 232) shown in the image above appears to determine it is impossible for any Muslim to walk from a Muslim family(Boehm 2012, p. 98; Healy et al. 2015; Labella & Masten 2016, p. 74; Narvaez 2014; Sigel, McGillicuddy-DeLisi & Goodnow 2014) or institutional(Allport 1966; GiMC 2017; Hawley 2017; Jensen 2010; O'Brien 2012) cultural transmission(Conway III & Schaller 2007; Rupesinghe & Correa 1994), genetic transmission(Henry et al. 2016), social and physical settings floor, anywhere the Muslim culture exists, and commit terror-genocide without the Muslim family, communities and institutions, framed by Muslim religious values(Bar 2004) and sociopolitical context((Bar-Tal, Diamond & Nasie 2017; Latzman et al. 2016), being complicit in the "socio-psychological infrastructure: the ethos of conflict, a collective memory of conflict, and collective emotional orientations" (Bar-Tal 2013). and the cultural emotive-value moral judgments(Blair 2017; McGregor, Hayes & Prentice 2015; Victoroff et al. 2011) imbued within the individual which enable the Muslim ‘very few’ to commit a political act, terrorism-genocide, a potentially costly(Schroeder & Graziano 2015, p. 191) altruistic third-party punishment of adherents or Other deemed as not showing sufficient deference of even unqualified acceptance of the Muslim rationale system.
Counterinsurgency research determines Muslim terror is necessarily driven by what must be an existent Muslim ideological(Galula 2006) aspirational worldview-cause (Pangallo 2017; Thomas 2013b), of which the Muslim cultural whole must be at least be mutually aware of, and also understand the Muslim cultural justification and authorisation for, which potentially holds enough cultural power to culturally promote individuals and organisations advocating and working towards the worldview-cause to ‘True-Believer’(Acevedo, Ellison & Yilmaz 2013; Thomas 2013a, 2013b), 'good Muslim' (Wilkinson 2011) ‘true Muslim’ (McKay 2016) status, negating Muslim cultural arguments for an alternative (Bar 2004; Nabulsi 2015; UCANEWS 2015), ‘radical Islamists’ ‘extremist views’ and therefore Muslim “extremist actions” are normative within a Muslim rationale system, otherwise there would be no basis upon which the insurgent-terrorist could hope to obtain sufficient support and submissiveness(Galula 2006; Van Cappellen et al. 2011; Wintour 2014) from the Muslim culture to justify an altruist terrorists existence as there would be no intrinsic psychological reward for being an altruistic enforcer/punisher.
Cultures develop methods of resolving significant value belief differences, for instance in Western Nation States including Australia Democratic institutions in conjunction with interest groups and judicial systems are utilised to resolve differences non-violently. Certain religious cultures can be shown to inform aggression as a political method to resolve differences (Blogowska, Lambert & Saroglou 2013; Courtois & Ford 2016) even terror( Colquhoun 1898, pp. 33, 288-91; Rogers et al. 2007; Wolff 2007) or the threat of it (Belfast Telegraph 2017; Toksabay 2017), and the Muslim religion continues to do so (Beller & Kröger 2017; Wright 2016). Some cultures, not all, utilise violence to align adherents to the sacred values (Atran 2016), injure or kill those who refuse to accept those sacred values (Srubar 2016) even though it can be at great cost to those carrying out the violence (Atran 2016; Maarouf 2013), this clearly can and does apply to certain secular ideologies such as the Nazi and Marxist cultures which inherently contain an ideological driven Us Them dichotomy which can as we have seen inform terror-genocide purging of their own and Other cultures who refuse to convert (Maclean 1957, pp. 74-8).
The Muslim justification, authority and motivation for moral equilibration, ‘morality shifting’ often an unconscious culturally derived moral continuum, which enables such manifest movement of Muslim cultures altruists from the ‘friendly’ law abiding citizen to carry out killing for the ‘social good’(SCHICK 2017; Schroeder & Graziano 2015, pp. 701-2) I believe requires the existence of an identifiable severely circumscribed Muslim categorisation of innocent combined with a development process providing the necessary levels of aggression to enable such action to occur.
“We are language-using and culture-incorporating entities whose forms of experience, conduct, and interaction take shape in linguistically structured environments and are conditioned by the meanings they bear.” (Christians 2007)
Muslim violence as a method came into being in my view due to significant ethic-belief social/political methods difference with Other informing a Muslim cultural necessity of developing an Us Them Dichotomy language-categories(Hofstadter & Sander 2013) creating cultural sub-schema (Hertlein & Weeks 2017) which provides religious motivating Muslim rhetoric which should be consistent across time and space (START research on consistency of Muslim terror motivating rhetoric), to explicitly justify Muslim terror-genocide as a method identifiable within and able to be analogised from the Muslim religious sacred ethical-behavioural source, the Quran and the Prophets behaviour, to be inevitably reflected in humanities streets(Duncan 2017; GARISSA 2015).
“..findings suggest that violent actors adopt religious rhetoric to solve the logistical challenges associated with violence, including access to mobilizing resources and recruitment and retention of members.” (Isaacs 2016)
How is the Muslim cultural sub-schema constructed regards Other, I have examined the Quran content and I suggest it contains what all effective methods for enabling a culture be it secular or religious to silence subjugate Other contain.

November 2017
"their (Muslims) murderous propaganda." is contained in the Quran so to "stamp out their (Muslim) murderous propaganda.", as we are told rightly "words are dangerous weapons" requires the Quran to be determined as what it is "murderous propaganda." and removed from societal space so as to stop Muslim terror-genocide and the "terrorist finance supply lines." Which originate as they must within the Muslim population.
The like minded: How Nazis courted the Islamic world during WWII, DW, Nastassja Shtrauchler, 13.11.2017. The important point is the Nazi succeeded. The cultural ethics, method regards Other cultures drive both behaviors-actions, still do and will.
It is my view cultures which utilise violence as an intrinsic discourse-conflict resolution tool need to develop not only the terror-genocide justification and authorisation but also learning frameworks and cultural rituals, practices which heighten aggression. In the case of the Muslim culture this may entail the repeated requirement to attend prayer in an exclusively male environment. Studies have shown Mosque attendance is a predictor of passive support for terrorism (Cherney & Murphy 2017) this may be linked to communication reinforcement of the Islam-Muslim (Conway III & Schaller 2007) justification for terror-genocide and suicide attacks(Ginges, Hansen & Norenzayan 2009), other studies show exclusion of women from cultural institutional activities may be linked to raised aggression in males(Faris & Felmlee 2011). Another study found Muslim children determined significantly harsher penalties for personal transgressions than other children from religious and non-religious backgrounds(AP 2017; Decety et al. 2015; Kilcullen 2010, p. 40; Mehra 2016) this aggression may be linked to the resource protection-scarcity, status, enforcement psychological effects of polygamy not only on men but women as well(Barber 2008; Buss & Shackelford 1997; Kruger 2010) leading to heightened hostility which harnesses a key human drive sex - the ability to pass on your genes to a next generation, cultural manipulation of an innate drive provides the justification-emotional motivation for terror and cultural expansionist (Barber 2008) imperative.
Given psychological problems, and fraught home environments are determined by research as being linked to raised levels of aggression (Faris & Felmlee 2011) the Muslim practice of polygamy I feel may be contributing to a potential heightened level of aggression, importantly research into polygamous marriage have found wives suffer significantly higher levels of physiological stress and psychological problems than do women in monogamous marriages(Al-Krenawi & Kanat-Maymon 2017) this I believe may have a flow on effect, meta research on children and adolescents has found increased mental health and social problems, lower education achievements(Al-Sharfi, Pfeffer & Miller 2015). Learning by imitation making violence easier and more likely(Schroeder & Graziano 2015, p. 700) may being informed by the patriarch nature of polygamy with reported women’s subservience, emotional, physical and sexual abuse. My view is polygamy and the evolutionary advantage it gives to those able to have access to more than one sexual partner, with the justification and authorisation of the Muhammad's own behavior as the Islamic-Muslim exemplar is, if not the driving force for Islam-Muslim violence a very significant contributory cause.
Duncan Lewis’ determination at a specific point in time, the ‘very few’ of a culture perceived to be imbued with the motivation to do harm to fellow citizens because they hold a differing worldview are in no way connected to the many of the same culture as the ‘very few’ which systemically creates within the cultures behavioural variance from generation to generation the motivation to do harm which results in more of the ‘very few’ taking up culturally defined expected roles with culturally attributed expectations as to what behaviour will result denies reality.
"Many years later the two fellows were caught, … At the trial I stated that I did not want a severe sentence as the two miscreants were only victims of the Nationalist (Nazi) Press outcry against me. As a matter of fact, both of them quoted in defence of their attempt the calumnies that appeared in the papers (Nazi) of the Right. ..
I repeatedly received official warnings of attacks .. intended attempts by private individuals , as, e.g. by a philosophical writer and a Professor of Medicine. In one case a women was deputed to quench my vital spark; in all other cases it was alleged that students and broken-down officers were concerned.”
Memoirs of a Social Democrat by Philip Scheidemann 1929
“...the Germans that great unified people are looking for peace and see friendship with Britain as a basis for peace not only for themselves but for everyone else”. ...In fact, if the extremist’s elements had prevailed. I have not the least doubt that disruption would have been more drastic and that we should have real reason by now to fear German aggression from both a military as well as political point of view.”
Norman Hillson “I speak of Germany”, London 1937
There were only two Nazi behind the tree stalking and attacking Philip Scheidemann in Germany before World War II (Scheidemann 1929), ASIO Duncan Lewis' 'very few', did it come to pass the culturally ideologically imbued 'innocent' many "only victims of the Nationalist (Nazi) Press" from which such 'very few' walked determine it was only the symptoms of a cultural terror-genocide construct the 'very few', which is exactly the same as contained within the Quran, who must be "subjects of interest" if any culture other than the one sending its 'very few' into the streets wish to survive past the current generation?
It is my view the utilisation of the ‘very few’ firstly underplays the fact there are invariably only the ‘very few’ because of the intrinsic cost and secondly cultures make sure the social/political methods utilised have an impact which far outweighs the number of the ‘very few’ involved(Schroeder & Graziano 2015). Altruists are created by all cultures but not all cultures utilise violence as a conflict resolution tool, the fact Muslims are culturally imbued with the beliefs and aggression and culturally justified and authorised to utilise such a tragic tool against humanity and they in my view are allowed to continue to do so (WILSON 2017) because of the Islam Islamist Dichotomy paradigm I believe is enabling individuals and other cultures to utilise the same (World Health Organization 2009) as we have seen in Melbourne CBD, Australia (ABC 2017c; White 2017) as elsewhere (ABC 2017a, 2017b, Antifa Australia 2017; BBC 2017; Bickers 2017; Daily Sabah 2017; Kaste 2017; KOOB 2017; Roe 2017; SBS 2017; SHEAR 2017; Sibthorpe 2017; Singhal 2017; Van Der Hasselt 2017; WOODS 2017), and my view possibly influenced the attacks in Las Vegas (BURFORD 2017; Daily Sabah 2017), Texas (GOLDMAN 2017), and Toronto (CBS NEWS, 2018).

"nothing
that has it to compromise the national security at this time."? The reality?
How is it our National Security policy diviners have come to a conclusion an ideology informing tyranny, political and social, with the subjugation and terror-genocide of Other(Tadros 2017; Wirtschafter 2017) and even their own despite any number of a Muslim cultures ‘good’ “individuals of conscience and a sense of responsibility”(Einstein 1934), allow such a culture to utilise their time honoured method of terror-genocide as a conflict resolution tool in time destroying Other as well as causing redirection of scarce resources(Dudley 2016) to create an ever growing security complex which may in the end make Eisenhower’s fears of a military-industrial complex(Eisenhower 1961) look ridiculous in comparison, given “alert knowledgeable” citizens questioning the veracity of the very foundation of the National Security policy Islam Islamist dichotomy paradigm is regarded by the National Security complex itself as “blasphemy” (Maiden 2015)?
In conclusion I believe it is necessary we face a truth the Islam Islamist Dichotomy paradigm cannot in my view be sustained and the sooner we hold the Muslim culture culpable for their cultural conflict resolution tool they utilise consistently through time, although involving fraught times ahead will I believe determine “This problem is solvable.”. Otherwise you by being complicit in supporting the existence of the impossible, an Islam Islamist Dichotomy paradigm are responsible for the image below being repeated, repeated,....

century could never be resolved by mere peaceful dialogue, necessitating development
of categorisations-scripts-schemas to justify authorise Muslim altruists utilisation
of terror-fear as a conflict resolution tool to exterminate, subjugate, exclude,
convert Other cultures adherents.

“There are no safeguards provided by nature against employment of thoroughly inappropriate concepts by communities who are self-harming, apparently wilfully, but actually without realising it.”

2015
“Convincing threatened populations that we are the winning side, developing genuine partnerships with them, demonstrating that we can protect them from the grillers and that their best interests are served by car operating with us is the critical path in counterinsurgency, because insurgents cannot operate without the support – active, passive, or enforced – of the local population(Kilcullen 2010, p. 4)”
“If the population rejects the partisans and lends its full support to the struggle against them, no partisan problem will exist” Colonel Reinhard Gehlen 1941 (Kilcullen 2010, p. 6)
Given the “partisans” “insurgents” are of the population, representing as altruists the cause of the population, willing in some cases to sacrifice their lives for a cause, which is of the population, what determines a population will be convinced their cause is not worth Other cultures pushback and cost of their own culturally developed altruists making sure the population keep to the ethic-moral social/political imperatives underwriting the cause for which the population is willing to sacrifice altruists lives? For as we know with more certainty than most ideas we hold, not all populations will be convinced you will win, more importantly do not want you to win and also as with Muslim “partisans” “insurgents” there is a significant element which is global not local-populations are not only subject to or assisted in their cause by just local altruists.
What single metric may inform you, you are wasting the lives and wealth of your citizens and simply feeding a culture which thrives on the resources war waged by powerful external powers intent on ‘winning’ the population, enable the population to obtain so as to be better able to continue the conflict to keep the resources flowing, and in the future end-game despite all the precious lives and wealth expended by powerful external powers intent on ‘winning’ the population are inevitably destroyed by the population as they always have in the past when powerful powers (cultures) become so conceited their worldview 'civilised' attractiveness surely will 'win' in time.

cell commits suicide. “If the cell cannot fix the problem, the cell is killed,”
Walter said. “It’s a life and death decision.”"

Cultures as systems of life develop their own method of dealing with 'misshapen adherents' or Other, not all cultures develop the same method, yet in the end it becomes a struggle of life and death. There is no conflict between each level of life, one will reflect the other to believe humanity is excluded from this truth is a dangerous place to reside. Though it is understandable cognitive devices-reasoning seeks to separate us from the truth of what we as individuals and cultures actually inform.

" Hundreds of other men watched, holding their phones aloft to try to get a glimpse of the violence, but never making a move to intervene. Those standing by included several police officers.
..then the enraged men below her picked up poles and planks of wood, and hit at her until she lost her grip and tumbled down.
Her face bloodied, she struggled to stand. Holding her hands to her hair, she looked horrified to find that her attackers had yanked off her black hijab as she fell. The mob closed in, kicking and jumping on her slight frame….

“If it’s violence, who is responsible
for this violence? The guy who started the episode and encouraged the people to
hit her? The guy chanting slogans who encouraged the people? Was it a blow from
a stick that killed her? A stone? Was it that she was burned, or was it the car
running over her?””

Quran: Surah 8 Al-Anfal - The Spoils of War
12 "Remember thy Lord inspired the
angels (with the message): 'I am with you: give firmness to the believers: I will
instil terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and
smite all their fingertips off them. '
14 "Thus (will it be said): 'Taste ye then of the (punishment) for those who resist Allah, is the penalty of the fire. '
15 "O ye who believe! When ye meet the Unbelievers n hostile array, never turn your backs on them."
17 "It is not ye who slew them; it was Allah: when thou threwest (a handful of dust) it was not thy act, but Allah's: in order that He might test the Believers by a gracious trial from Himself: for Allah is He who heareth and knoweth (all things)."
22 "For the worst of beasts in the sight of Allah are the deaf and the dumb – those who understand not."
23 "If Allah had found in them any good, He would indeed have made them listen: (as it is), if He had made them listen, they would but have turned back and declined (faith)."
29 "O ye who believe! If ye fear Allah, he will grant you a criterion (to judge between right and wrong), remove from you (all) evil (that may afflict) you, and forgive you: for Allah is the Lord of grace unbounded."
37 "In order that Allah may separate the impure from the pure, with the impure, one on another, heap them together, and cast them into Hell. They will be the ones to have lost."
38 "Say to the unbelievers, if (now) they desist (from unbelief), there passed would be forgiven them; but if they persist, the punishment of those before him is already (a matter of warning for them)."
55 "For the worst of beasts in the sight of Allah of those who reject him: they will not believe."
56 "They are those with whom thou didst make a covenant, but they break their covenant every time, and they have not the fear (of Allah)."
59 "Let not the unbelievers think that they can get the better (of the godly): they will never frustrate (them)."
60 "Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies of Allah and your enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not know, but whom Allah doth know. Whatever ye shall spend in the cause of Allah, shall be repaid unto you, and ye shall not be treated unjustly."
65 "O Prophet! Rouse the Believers to fight. If there are twenty amongst you, patient and persevering, they will vanquish two hundred: if hundred, they will vanquish a thousand of the Unbelievers: for these are people without understanding."
66 "For the present, Allah hath lightened your (task), for He knoweth that there is a weak spot in you: but (even so), if there are hundred of you, patient and persevering, they will vanquish two hundred, and if a thousand, they will vanquish two thousand, with the leave of Allah: for Allah is with those who patiently persevere."
67 "It is not fitting for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war until he had thoroughly subdued the land. Ye look for the temporal goods of this world; but Allah looketh to the Hereafter: and Allah is Exalted in might, Wise."
74 "Those who believe, and adopt exile, and fight for the Faith, in the cause of Allah as well as those who give them asylum and aid – these are (all) in very truth the Believers: for them is the forgiveness of sins and the provision most generous."
Quran: Surah 9 At-Tawbah The Repentance
1. "A (declaration) of immunity
from Allah and his messenger, to those of the Pagans with whom ye have contracted
mutual alliances –
2. Go ye, then, for four months, backwards
and forwards, (as ye will), throughout the land, but know ye that ye cannot frustrate
Allah (by your falsehood), but that Allah will cover with shame those who reject
Him.
3. And an announcement from Allah and
his Messenger, to the people (assembled) on the day of the Great Pilgrimage – that
Allah and His Messenger dissolve (treaty) obligations with the Pagans. If then ye
repent, it were best for you; but if ye turn away, know ye that ye cannot frustrate
Allah. And proclaim a grievous penalty to those who reject Faith.
4. But the treaties are) not dissolved
with those pagans with whom ye had entered into alliance and who have not subsequently
failed you in aught, nor aided anyone against you. So fulfill your engagements with
them to the end of their term: for Allah love of the righteous.
5. But when the forbidden months are
past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever you find them, and seize them, beleaguer
them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war). But if they repent,
and establish regular prayers and practice regular charity, then open the way for
them: for Allah is oft Forgiving, Most Merciful."
The reality of such Muslim dissimulations and explicit denunciation of non-Believers after each statement to honor treaties and alliances with completely standalone justification and authorisation of grievous harm drives a Muslim terror truck through any claims of Muslim claims of "peace, not violence". For the proof lies explicitly in the absence of, and subjugation-terror of Other in any Muslim dominated space, as well as terror visited upon any space Muslims have access to.
“Although religious hostilities affect countries throughout the world experience, Muslim-majority countries consistently have higher levels of a range of religious hostilities than other countries and by wide margins. For instance, Muslim-majority countries are more than three times more likely than other countries to have religion-related war, terror or sectarian violence, ...”

“Australian Muslims should publicly disavow "belligerent" verses of the Koran to weaken the moral conviction terrorists say the holy book gives them, a judge has said while jailing two Sydney terror-plotters.
"Terrorists' reliance on verses of the Koran to support an Islamic duty of religious violence has been seen with more or less clarity in a number of NSW and Victorian cases," Justice Des Fagan said in the NSW Supreme Court on Thursday.
"If the verses upon which the terrorists rely are not binding commands of Allah, it is Muslims who would have to say so.
"If Australian followers of the religion, including those who profess deep knowledge, were to make a clear public disavowal of these verses, as not authoritative instructions from Allah, then the terrorists' moral conviction might be weakened."
Sameh Bayda and Alo-Bridget Namoa, both 21, were found guilty in October of conspiring between December 8, 2015 and January 25, 2016 to do an act in preparation for a terrorist act
[…]
The couple's phones contained a vast amount of extremist material, including graphic images and videos of beheadings and soldiers carrying Islamic flags.
They also included videos of sermons delivered by Islamic scholars, quoting Koran verses which "unmistakably instruct the believers to undertake jihad in pursuit of universal Islamic dominance", the judge said.
"As seen in this and numerous other prosecutions, the hostile verses (in the Koran) are inspiring serious crimes," he said.
He noted that jihadi propagandists and terrorists "consistently invoke belligerent verses of the Koran".
The judge accepted Bayda was inspired by jihadist propaganda to commit a violent street robbery, with two friends, of two non-Muslims on New Year's Eve 2015.
"Some of the material on (his) devices urged Muslims to attack and plunder Western civilians in their own countries in furtherance of their religious duty," he said.”
