New Study Claims Muslims Are the World’s Happiest People

61

Here is more of the West’s suicidal self-hatred, yet again emanating from academia: the UK’s Daily Mail reported Thursday that “Muslim people feel the most satisfied with their lives because they feel more ‘oneness,’ or connection than people of other faiths, a new study suggests.” Why the establishment media feels the need constantly to cover for an even proselytize for Islam is unclear, but it is certainly a project that it pursues indefatigably.

Not surprisingly, the source of the Daily Mail’s latest proselytizing effort is German academics at the University of Mannheim. “Measuring life satisfaction,” says the Daily Mail, “is about as close to quantifying ‘happiness’ as we’ve been able to get thus far, and a German psychologist’s new study suggests that a feeling of ‘oneness’ predicts overall contentment.”

Lo and behold, by this scale, Muslims turn out to be positively blissful: “And when the researchers divided their 67,562 survey respondents by religion, Muslims felt the greatest sense of oneness.”

The academics determined that “among all groups, Muslims were most likely to believe that they were connected to something larger than themselves, according to the new study, published in the journal of the American Psychological Association. Second to Muslims, Christians that considered themselves neither Catholics nor Protestants reported the greatest average oneness beliefs, followed by Buddhists and Hindus.”

One would probably have to be an academic to take this sort of thing seriously. And of course the Daily Mail, the worst paper in the Western world, runs with it eagerly.

But what the Daily Mail does not tell you is the fact that there are many such studies. Evangelical Christians have published studies saying they’re the happiest, most contented people. I’m sure others have as well. Happiness is a subjective thing and the purpose of such studies is simply to tout the virtues of joining the happy group in question.

Nor does the Daily Mail mention the fact that the Qur’an offers believers a pathway to happiness: jihad. The Islamic holy book tells believers that they can find comfort and remove their “fury” by fighting against unbelievers: “Fight them; Allah will punish them by your hands and will disgrace them and give you victory over them and satisfy the breasts of a believing people and remove the fury in the believers’ hearts.” (9:14-15)

And happiness in other senses is un-Islamic anyway. Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini famously said: “Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. There can be no fun and joy in whatever is serious.”

There is also the possibility that the Muslims surveyed by the University of Mannheim researchers really are happier than everyone else, because Islam is a closed system that purports to explain and provide the rules of acceptable behavior for every aspect of life, and which has a unique contempt and even hatred for other worldviews and belief systems. This might foster in Muslims, whom the Qur’an terms “the best of people” (3:110) a feeling of superiority over unbelievers, “the most vile of created beings” (Qur’an 98:6), which might translate to a smugness that could appear to clueless outsiders as actual happiness.

In any case, no matter how many such studies are published, the claim that Muslims are happier than everyone else can never be truly substantiated, and to publicize this claim is all part of the establishment media’s relentless efforts to normalize Islam and reduce suspicions about jihad terrorism and Sharia oppression among the public in Western Europe and North America.

Would the Daily Mail publish a study claiming to find that Christians or anyone else were the happiest people in the world? Not on your life. But this is the age of pandemic Islamopandering.

World Happiness Report: “All the top countries tend to have high values for all six of the key variables that have been found to support well-being: income, healthy life expectancy, social support, freedom, trust and generosity.” None of the top 10 countries have Muslim majorities. One of the top 20 countries has a Muslim majority.

Muslims are full of hatred toward jews, christians, lgbt people, and I read the article about the happiest countries and there was no muslim country in the top ten chart, so how come they became the happiest people?

Millions and Millions of islamic analphabets feel happy among themselves and due the circumstance, that they haven’t got any other education but Islam (Quran) only.
Muslims are virtually strong indoctrinated from birth to bliss.
But the rest of the nonislamic world knows the other very dark side of Islam very well.

Very good question. They have the best of both worlds, free to practice their faith unsupervised (child marriage, FGM etc) and generous welfare provided by the kaffur. A substantial number, over 50 % in many countries do no work at all and are kept by the state. For them it is paradise on earth. They are in fact connected to a fantasy plus we all know the propensity of Muslims to bow to peer pressure and taqqiya

They must be referencing the males.

That’s why they all have victim complexes. 98% of Muslims are pedophilia survivors.

Husseys are very historically significant.

If you knew my dad, graddad, uncles, and brothers, you’d know they are famous in parts of the country I live in.

We are directly related to Rollo, first Duke of Normandy, through Helene, daughter of one of his grandsons, also Duke of Normandy, married to Hugh Hussey in Normandy, who, with his three sons, John, Walter, and William, fought with William the Conqueror in the Battle of Hastings in 1066.

They were given lands and titles in Great Britain, which they eventually lost in the 1700s when the reigning monarchs were persecuting, ie killing off lesser royals who refused to convert to the Church of England.

Catholic monarchs did the same thing before that when the ruling classes refused to convert to Catholicism, so it was only fair.

Joseph Hussey migrated from Great Britain in 1750, arriving in Eastern Canada, and we’ve got tons of streets named after our ancestors, have several empty estates in Newfoundland which still belong to our family.

My father manages those things, I understand.

As for Mecklenburg, we have ancestors from there recently and they are formerly royals.

Oddly enough, my mom is recently descended from royalty, my dad’s direct paternal line was royal a few hundred years ago, and we found out my ex husband is also from a direct royal line much further back.

It’s really weird to do your own genealogy! But a huge percentage of Europeans are descendants of royalty, so no biggie.

Also, my great grandmother told us Queen Victoria is our grandmother but the only people we look are the Tsars of Russia that were killed in Russia.

We have no clue how we are related to Queen Victoria if we aren’t the Tsars’ direct offspring. My great grandmother and I are dopplegangers for Tsarina Tatiana, though I didn’t get the height. My son is a doppelganger for Nicholas II, my brother is a male lookalike for Princess Alice, my mom looked like Princess Margaret as a young woman, but Alexandra in her 30s. Her sister looks exactly like Olga, youngest sister of Nicholas II.

Again, no clue who we are really.

No one told us how Queen Victoria was our grandmother and her statue they showed us looked really scary when I was little so we didn’t really want to know…

You see it one way, and many of us will disagree.
When people are so engrained in their own religion, would not it have been best for all to remain in one’s own country. People could trade, and assist, and be civil to one another, but each to his own customs and beliefs?
That is not the case. Pity.

To respond to this nonsense survey is unnecessary, but I
feel compelled to write something. The reference to the verse in this article
from their Quran that states: that they
must fight them and with Allah’s help and with their own hands defeat them,
speaks volumes about their belief system. Although Islam beat back the crusaders,
if my recollection of history is accurate, they were pushed out of Spain, and Islam
has been on the losing side of conflicts over the eons, and more recently as
allies of the Nazi’s during WWII and against Israel on a number of occasions.
They should now know that their cause does not have a Deity on their side, and
they ought simply to sulk into a hole of oblivion. That is the simple factual
truth.

After the length they go to get to Christian countries completely ignoring the Muslim countries nearby, I suspect those polled lived in Germany where their “oneness” of ecstasy includes living off the nonbelievers, raping and committing violence then getting sympathy from nonbelievers who are fools! Now, Islamics kill each other all the time in Islamic countries where there isn’t a lot of oneness until a nonMuslim girl comes by then they kidnap her, forcefully marry then rape her to get their bliss! Is what it is!

It’s simple. Muslims are Muslims which give them a sense of purpose, no matter how perverted that purpose is. Westerners are foolishly abandoning Christianity with the help of corrupt religious leaders and self-proclaimed “intellectuals”. This leaves many Westerners with no purpose in life except to pursue pleasure. If the West as a whole does not change it will deserve what it gets. The righteous judgement of God remains eternal. God is not dependent on the West or anyone else. He does as He pleases. He has used the wicked to perform His judgements throughout history and is perfectly capable of doing it again. Just as with Assyria, Babylon and many others, they, too, will fall for their wickedness. The West still stand because there is still enough good in the West. Only God can determine when there is no longer enough righteousness to preserve a nation.
Also, for this survey, they obviously didn’t interview any Muslim women.

If they feel more oneness and connection than people from other faiths, it is because the left has not been allowed to divide them.
In the US, people of a certain party are attempting to remove a cross monument which does not actually represent Christianity but is a cemetery type structure to honor deceased veterans.
Prayer was removed from our schools, the mention of God is being removed from everything we once knew, it will be removed from the money, from the Pledge of Allegiance, from solemnly swearing in courts of law.

What Dribble . . . from the Halls of Karl Marx . . .

How Islam Creates Sociopaths
Psychopathic people and behavior are found within all cultures and religions. But one tops them all — by many lengths.

As a psychologist in a Danish youth prison, I had a unique chance to study the mentality of Muslims. 70 percent of youth offenders in Denmark have a Muslim background. I was able to compare them with non-Muslim clients from the same age group with more or less the same social background. I came to the conclusion that Islam and Muslim culture have certain psychological mechanisms that harm people’s development and increase criminal behavior.

I am, of course, aware that Muslims are different, and not all Muslims follow the Quran’s violent and perverted message and their prophet’s equally embarrassing example. But as with all other religions, Islam also influences its followers and the culture they live in.

Muslim Inbreeding
A Study by Nicolai Sennels

Nicolai Sennels is a Danish psychologist who has done extensive research into a little-known problem in the Muslim world: the disastrous results of Muslim inbreeding brought about by the marriage of first-cousins.

This practice, which has been prohibited in the Judeo-Christian tradition since the days of Moses, was sanctioned by Muhammad and has been going on now for 50 generations (1,400 years) in the Muslim world.

This practice of inbreeding will never go away in the Muslim world since Muhammad is the ultimate example and authority on all matters, including marriage.

The massive inbreeding in Muslim culture may well have done virtually irreversible damage to the Muslim gene pool, including extensive damage to its intelligence, sanity, and health.

According to Sennels, close to half of all Muslims in the world are inbred. In Pakistan, the numbers approach 70%. Even in England, more than half of Pakistani immigrants are married to their first cousins, and in Denmark the number of inbred Pakistani immigrants is around 40%.

The numbers are equally devastating in other important Muslim countries: 67% in Saudi Arabia, 64% in Jordan and Kuwait, 63% in Sudan, 60% in Iraq, and 54% in the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.

According to the BBC, this Pakistani, Muslim-inspired inbreeding is thought to explain the probability that a British Pakistani family is more than 13 times as likely to have children with recessive genetic disorders. While Pakistanis are responsible for three percent of the births in the UK, they account for 33% of children with genetic birth defects.

The risk of what are called autosomal recessive disorders such as cystic fibrosis and spinal muscular atrophy is 18 times higher and the risk of death due to malformations is 10 times higher.

Other negative consequences of inbreeding include a 100 percent increase in the risk of stillbirths and a 50% increase in the possibility that a child will die during labor.

Lowered intellectual capacity is another devastating consequence of Muslim marriage patterns. According to Sennels, research shows that children of consanguinous marriages lose 10-16 points off their IQ and that social abilities develop much slower in inbred babies.

The risk of having an IQ lower than 70, the official demarcation for being classified as “retarded,” increases by an astonishing 400 percent among children of cousin marriages.

(Similar effects were seen in the Pharaonic dynasties in ancient Egypt and in the British royal family, where inbreeding was the norm for a significant period of time.)

In Denmark, non-Western immigrants are more than 300 percent more likely to fail the intelligence test required for entrance into the Danish army.
