HOW PEOPLE ARE RECRUITED
When someone becomes a terrorist, it has very little to do with religiosity.
If it were about religiosity,
why do we hear of attackers
partying and drinking at clubs
one night and murderously
driving vans over innocent
people the next day? After
these incidents in the West,
ISIS takes responsibility - but it
is often the case that ISIS was
never in direct contact with the
attackers.
MESSIAH HERALD / ISSUE 05 / JUN 2017
Many of the converts in the
West who adopt radical Islam
are those who come from
broken families.
They’re people who are
likely to suffer from inferiority
complexes 2 and who have felt a
perpetual sense of deprivation 3
throughout their lives. They
frequently feel alienated from
society due to their social class.

When a mosque needs
donation, the religious
orator will tell worshippers
specific stories of Prophet
Mohammad. They will recount
tales of people giving Prophet
Mohammad half of the things
in their house in support of
the establishment of Islam. In
Any doctrine pertaining to
any social or religious system
can be used as an instrument
of manipulation. If you
manipulate a religion, you are
controlling its theosophical
aspect to take advantage of
others. As a result of this mass
level manipulation, humanity is
enormously divided into many
different religious factions.
explaining these events, they
will declare that such people
who made these sacrifices
became the apple of God’s
eye. This is all said to ignite
emotions within the listeners.
Having done this, they ask
worshippers for donations,
implying that the more they
give, the closer they will be to
God.
In 2015, the office of a
French satirical magazine,
Charlie Hebdo, was the
location of a brutal massacre
by Islamist terrorists. Charlie
Hebdo had been printing
caricatures of different
religious figures such as Jesus
Christ and Prophet Mohammad.
In Islam, it is considered heresy
to depict Prophet Mohammad
in any way. Using this point,
Islamists rallied their troops
by saying that the people at
Charlie Hebdo were enemies of
Islam and that those who loved
Islam should come forward to
attack Charlie Hebdo.
Emotional manipulation is
the main tool that the terrorists
are using today. The inspiration
behind these emotionally
manipulative people is a hunger
for power and control.
If psychological
manipulation were to be
stopped, we would not have
as many terrorists as we have
today.
to a certain degree, perhaps
even without realising that
they are doing it. You will see
it on a domestic level, at the
workplace, at schools and
colleges - and especially in
worship places.
Religious manipulation is
a technique used by some
abusive mosques, churches,
temples, synagogues and other
worship places to give the
impression that their twisted
agendas are in accordance
with the Koran, Bible, Bhagavad
Gita, Guru Granth Sahib, Torah,
etc. They cherry pick the verses
of the holy books that support
their religious bias.
manipulation starts from
the cradle and takes
you to the grave. Religion and
society have a role to play
in strongly influencing our
emotions.
Some people will tell you
stories, generate a wave of
emotions, manipulate those
emotions and make you do
things that you would normally
hate to do. Chances are, you
don’t even realise how you’re
being manipulated while
it is happening because of
how discrete and deceptive
emotional manipulation is.
Sweet talk and words
of praise are gateways to
emotional manipulation.
If somebody is being really
nice to you who is never nice
normally, then this should
be a red flag for you. In a
similar way, those wanting to
emotionally manipulate you
might also start off by placing
blame upon you. They will
push you to a point where you
feel helpless; you feel guilty
for a crime you have not even
committed. In this state, you
ask them, ‘What should I do
to please you?’ and then the
original intent behind the
drama becomes apparent. This
is the moment they manipulate
you for their agenda.
This goes on every day,
everywhere. Everyone does it
