The Mind of Jihad

An important passage from the book:

The Mind of Jihad – Laurent Murawiec.    Don

Pg. 256

A further reason for my hatred of national socialism and other ideologies is quite a primitive one.  I have an aversion to killing people for the fun of it.  What the fun is, I did not quite understand at the time, but in the intervening years the ample exploration of revolutionary consciousness has cast some light on the matter.  The fun consists in gaining a pseudo-identity through asserting one’s power, optimally by killing somebody – a pseudo-identity that serves as a substitute for the human self that has been lost.   Eric Voeglien (auto-biographically reflections, Columbia University of Missouri Press 2006)
