Jihad Jane Explains Why She Converted To Islam

 There are two things that can happen to someone who is repeatedly and severely sexually and otherwise abused - by a parent, other close kin, or someone else in the immediate circle - at a young age.

One is that that person is basically 'primed' to suffer further abuse (and quite often to also become an abuser).  Their 'boundaries' are destroyed; they do not know that they have boundaries, that they can say 'no' to others who wish to harm, or to their own impulses.  They are drawn to Abusers...and Abusers are drawn to them, as predators to prey.  In a society where Islam the Uber-Abuser (both Mohammed and 'allah' fit the profile perfectly, all one has to do to see this is to read Mark Durie, 'The Third Choice, on the psycho-dynamics of the Dhimma) is present, those whose boundaries have been shattered in this way will often be drawn to Islam...and Muslims will be actively on the watch for such people, those giving off 'Prey' signals. 

What this wretched woman could not see or refused to see is that  joining Islam - the Mohammedan Mob - was not an escape from or cure for the other forms of abuse she had embraced: prostitution, cocaine, heroin, two abusive husbands - but just more of the dismal same old, same old. That far from escaping or taking revenge upon her rapist father she was submitting to him yet again.

I wonder just how many of those who are voluntarily converting to Islam, within the western world, are people with this kind of profile?

And yet: not all who suffer Abuse of the kind that Jihad Jane endured go on to become either Abusers or serial Abusees.  There are others: I call them the Intelligent Survivors.  They are the ones who somehow, by the grace of God, manage to truly break free: not only do they cut and run from the original Abuser, but they vow to themselves to never go near anyone like that ever again, nor ever to do to anyone else what was done to them, and they keep the vow.  Somehow, somewhere, they seek out and find the help they need to repair their damaged souls, rebuild their boundaries, avoid - or wean themselves from - self-destructive patterns of behaviour.  Warily they assess other people, learning how to find the non-abusive.  They can spot an Abuser a mile away...and they run like hell when they do.  No way are they going to get 'sucked in'.

Interestingly, I have come across a number of people like this - people who have escaped from and survived and recovered from severely  abusive childhoods - in the Resistance to Islamisation.   They are those who found that in the presence of the Ummah all their personal alarm bells went off at once.
