Someone recently, from a program of Islamic Studies, defended Islam starting with the statement that all religions have spilled tons of blood in various conflicts.
I am no expert on blood spilled by all religions. But, when it comes to blood spilled historically and on-going in recent history, I know there is no other major religion that comes close to Islam. The only exceptions would be those totalitarian secular states that enforce the worship of kings and dictators.
It is essential for all Americans to do some research. One of the most authoritative resources I have found it the one below.
I ask my readers to spend some time exploring the following web cite. The truth, as best I can know it at this time, is there.
The Islamification of America is happening in so many small and large ways it is difficult to keep up with this sneaky transformational process. Muslims are now legally marrying or importing child-brides in America!
Wake-Up America, Islamification is happening while radical liberals move to impeach our duly elected President Trump and block his attempts to control Muslim immigration to put America First!
Once upon a time America called this pedophilia!
See what is happening in America, when citizens are not paying attention.
Someone asked in relation to securing our borders and therefore our country: Why has America forgotten 9/11 so soon?
Well I am certain that much of America has not forgotten 9/11, and those who have not are in strong support of President Trump’s desire to put a temporary hold on immigration from terrorist harboring nations and secure our borders with combinations of wall, technology, and more enforcement officers.
Others have not “forgotten 9/11”, but they appear to be putting politics and self-interest before our nation’s security.
America’s current population is vastly different from that of WWII, when Pearl Harbor enraged and united us.
We are now at war outside-of and inside-of ourselves.
Though many citizens have not been corrupted and softened by the products of modernity; i.e., wealth, unimaginable conveniences, hedonistic pleasures, and the decline of our indigenous religions…a very great many have been.
Furthermore, members of America’s burgeoning subcultures are increasingly balkanized; selfishly warring with each other for wealth, as well as political and social power. To a great extent Americans are alienated from one another.
Also badly weakened are our traditional values supporting sex for procreation, rather than sex just for pure recreation. Now on the rise is sex with technological inventions and even increasing human-like robots. Sex roles are now diffuse and sexual identities are confused. Females are increasingly masculanized and celebrated while males are feminized; historical male traits are increasingly villanized. These biosociocultural lines of demarcation have blurred to the extent that even the definitions citizen’s biological sex are confused and fractious.
American society is now divided into countless ongoing sub-cultural cold-wars., God forbid they become hot-wars.
There are many more facets to our presently dysfunctional America, but these problems are beyond the focus of this analysis.
Tragically, this is our America at a time when strong cohesiveness is the only path to long-term survival. I increasingly fear that nothing short of a great calamity could reunite and strengthen America’s resolve unify and fight to survive.

Two of these are Keith Maurice Ellison, (Dem. Minn.) and Andre Carson, (Dem. Ind.). Both Ellison and Carson have railed against President Trumps attempts to temporarily shut down immigration from Islamic terrorist centers in the world in order to design an “extreme vetting” program for immigrants to America. Both these men have called President Trump a Muslim Hater.
New Muslim Congresswoman, IIhan Omar, advocated the wearing of head covers on the House floor and it was approved. She will therefor be the first to wear a head cover (the Muslim hijab) in the House, in 181 years. She has also stated: “I look forward to the day we lift the Muslim ban separating Muslims all over the U.S. from loved ones”.
New Muslim Congresswoman Rashida Tliab was recently shown on television screaming her answer to her son, who reportedly said, “Mama, look, you won. Bullies don’t win.” She then screamed on video, “’Baby, they don’t.’ Because we’re gonna go in there, we’re gonna impeach the motherfucker!”
Now please learn the following information about how Islam is attempting to transform America. This is not a long video and it contains vital information for your consideration.
Prostitution is illegal in every state in America, except Nevada. You might find it interesting to review the state and federal laws against Prostitution. Please see below.
You should know that prostitution, like gambling, pornography and recreational drugs were outlawed for good reasons. They were once called “vices” because they ruin families, businesses and individual’s lives. Separately each of these legalized activities is a great cost to society that should supersede hedonistic quests for more personal pleasures. Taken together, I judge that their synergistic costs to America are, or soon will be, disastrous.
On a strongly related matter: “technological determinism” is a term used by those who wish to illustrate how advancing technology shapes the perceptions, thoughts, beliefs, emotions and behaviors of populations within civilizations. When perceptions, thoughts, beliefs, emotions and behaviors change they can spread through populations via well-known biopsychosocial scientific laws and principles. I call these laws and principles the mechanisms of change. I call the changes they cause within populations, behavioral contagion. The effects of behavioral contagion can be good or bad for populations, cultures, and societies.
Technological determinism is only one important source of the many summating and multiplicative changes in societies that, when viewed at-large, are identified as cultural evolution. Behavioral contagion is an important component of many chains of causes (war, depletion of resources, disease, natural disasters, religion changes, technological developments, politics and more) that drive good and bad cultural evolutions. Therefore, behavioral contagion can also be an important force in the rise and decline of civilizations. Changing and even clashing subcultures can easily be observed in societies.
Unfortunate, the workings of the biopsychosocial mechanisms that drive behavioral contagion for better and for worse, are not easily observed. In fact, from what I can tell almost everyone is oblivious to them. Even most scientists that I know do not think much about their involvement in sociocultural evolution and the survival value of societies
The video below is a perfect example, among countless others, of technological innovations that can catalyze destructive forms of behavioral contagion in America.
The following video is only soft-pornography But, I warn you that your own imagination will rapidly convert it to XXX rated hardcore-pornography. If you are offended by this video, and your own naturally occurring imagination, I will invite you to “grow-up” and face reality. You will have to politically defend against this reality, or you and your loved ones will be hurt to varying degrees by it.
Psychology is very much at play in this robotic example of technological determinism, its resulting behavioral contagion, and also resulting cultural evolutions will likely produce . I will explain in brief.
All animals are generally influenced by the same Psychological laws and principles. One of these principles is the Law of Effect. This law states that behaviors that produces rewards for individuals will normally cause them to repeat the same behaviors more often in the future. These behavior patterns, with repeated rewarding consequences, can become deeply ingrained within the in individuals and greatly increase in future frequency. Such high rates of behaviors have, in lay language, been called “psychological addictions”. When the rewards are actually biologically addicting, both psychological and physiological addictions present concurrent problems to individuals, families, businesses, etc., and entire societies. The psychologist B. F. Skinner researched and promulgated these laws and principles he called Operant Conditioning and Learning.
Basic Laws of Association increase the likelihood that stimuli, perceptions, thoughts, beliefs, emotions and behaviors that occur together with individuals will be psychologically linked together and will be more likely to occur together more often in the future. If the stimuli are closely associated with pleasure, individuals will be more likely to be motivated to work to produce them more often in the future. Conversely, the stimuli, perceptions, thoughts, beliefs, emotions and actions are closely associated with pain or discomfort will be more likely to be escaped and avoided. Ivan Pavlov’s discovery of Classical (Respondent) Conditioning helped psychologist to understand how, for better or worse, new learned (conditioned) emotions and reflexes can be learned in humans and other animals.
The Principle of Least Effort often leads to people and other animals seeking the least effortful ways to obtain their rewards and the least effortful ways to escape or avoid pain and discomfort. The implications for sex with robots as opposed to all that one must do to find and retain sexual partners should be clear. The more realistic the sexual robots become the more powerful their attractiveness is likely to become.
It is critically to note that behavioral scientists have demonstrated that humans and other animals are generally highly motivated get their rewards more immediately, more frequently and in larger magnitudes.
Albert Bandura, conducted important research into the psychological field of Social Learning Theory. There are a great many social influences upon perceptions, thoughts, beliefs, emotions and behaviors the individuals within societies. These influences include all of the previous laws and principles, and more. These influences are spread through language, written words, popular media, and the imitation of other’s behaviors that are perceived in some fashion. All of this presents another level of complexity of influences upon individual’s perceptions, thoughts, beliefs, emotions and behaviors. The principles of social learning theory present countless other avenues of behavioral contagion with good or bad effects upon individuals, cultures and societies.
All of this, and much more, is part of human and animal nature.
Historically, in Western Civilization Judeo/Christian religion’s stimuli, perceptions, thoughts, beliefs, emotions, behaviors and sacred values have militated against bad behavioral contagion. Also, Western Civilization’s, more’s, folkways and governmental laws; largely based upon these religious values, punished the spread of bad behaviors within the populations. All of this and the population’s own social controls (encouragement, praise, material rewards; or, criticism, social censure, rejection and physical punishment) also militated against bad behavioral contagion and strengthened good behavioral contagion.
Finally, it is now increasingly clear that genetics is a very important factor in the inheritance of tendencies towards a host of diseases, both physical and psychological; as well as a number of personality features that often produce maladaptive behaviors in individuals.
All of this provides fodder for the behavioral contagion of bad or good outcomes for individuals, culture and society.
Perhaps you are beginning to understand that psychology is one of our most important sciences and technologies for future human social and political survival.
Finally, please note that all levels of America’s governments have been suppressing the power of Judeo/Christian influences. Also, our corrupt governments have been legalizing the behaviors that were formerly labeled as sinful and illegal. Governments are doing this in order to augment their tragically depleted revenues. Governmental revenues horrifically depleted by unprincipled spending designed to secure a dependent electorate dedicated to furthering politician’s personal wealth and political power.
Sex robots are perfect technological symbols of secular post-modern nations now in steep decline.
Will America be one of these?

For more “Big Picture” thinking, I invite you to study two of my professional publications below. There I detail a few (just a few) of the determinants of human behavior, cultural evolution and potentially the rise and decline of civilizations.
Also, you undoubtedly note that I have not specified what is good or bad behavior, or good and bad behavioral contagion. I invite you to think about your own value judgments about these matters. However, I ask that you put these judgments within the context of the biopsychosocial laws and principles discussed in this blog. If you wish to know my own thoughts on this difficult matter, you will find them in my publications below.
Declining Christianity and Fecundity = Declining Western Civilization
The many different variables associated with the decline of societies have been identified (wars, natural disasters, depletion of natural resources, uncontrolled immigration, etc.. This posting will focus upon two other important correlates of societal and cultural decline; they are the decline of indigenous religions and fecundity. Fecundity is a term used to describe a population’s ability to produce an “abundance of offspring”. For our purposes, the concern is the loss of a socioculture’s ability to reproduce enough citizens to sustain itself.
I am reading an excellent, but controversial book, entitled The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order (1996). I was surprised to find that the author, Samuel P. Huntington, wrote that modernity and the stresses that go with modernizing societies, actually stimulated increasing rates of Christian religion within populations, as well as other religions.
I will not address “other religions” in this posting, but will focus more specifically upon modernity, Christianity, fecundity and the decline of Western Civilization.
The idea that modernity has strengthened Western Civilization’s indigenous Christian religions is counter-intuitive to me and it also is in conflict with virtually everything that I have read in other scholarly publications on this topic. My broad-based readings on the topic of cultural decline have informed me that when cultures are in decline, there is a correlated decline in the population’s adherence to it’s indigenous religions and also its birthrates.
While there can be many interacting causes of cultural decline, loss of indigenous religions and fecundity seem to be omnipresent.
This is exactly is exactly what has been happening in Europe and America.
In my view, all of this (and I expect more) appears to underlay the “seemingly illogical”; and in my view, culturally suicidal impetus toward borderless states and uncontrolled immigration.
Please evaluate these and other sources you may find and tell me about your conclusions.
