Mass Insanity explores the subjects of insane communities, the clash of identities, the relationship between Islam and the Western values, and how societies indoctrinate their members and shape their way of thinking in a simple and straightforward way. It argues that people can develop collective ethical and psychological problems when their society adopts immoral and irrational norms and values.The book explains why Islamic terrorism has persisted for many decades and why conflicts like the Arab-Israeli conflict, the Indian-Pakistani conflict, and others appear to have no end in sight. It poses questions about Islam as a religion of peace, its contributions to civilization, and why millions of seemingly sane individuals endorse extreme ideas such as the assassination of writers, cartoonists, and journalists, the suppression of women, the killing of children, and the destruction of art, culture, and heritage. It examines the root cause of these practices and how they are presented as moral practices. The ideas Hamas, ISIS, the Taliban, and the Iranian regime use to justify their crimes and entice individuals to join them are assessed in detail. The issue of how and why wealthy Muslim states are propagating radicalism and supporting terrorism globally, in many cases with the complicity of some Western politicians and academic institutions, is also investigated.Mass Insanity also explores whether a society that includes millions of people can lose its collective sanity and how this can happen. It delves into why a community might lose the will to defend itself against an enemy seeking its demise, among many other questions.Employing theories of social, clinical, and forensic psychology, it analyzes the psychology of totalitarianism. Additionally, it discusses the decay of Western civilization and the emerging psychological difficulties it faces. The book highlights how many prestigious universities accepted donations and gifts from non-democratic regimes and the resulting impact. Furthermore, it addresses the topics of mass migration and the rapid demographic changes taking place in Europe and North America.In conclusion, 'Mass Insanity' is a masterful work that connects psychology and history and philosophy. It is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of human behavior and societal dynamics in an increasingly divided world.
