Fundamentalist Terrorism – An Ideology of Nihilistic Sexuality

By Randy Gonzalez

In certain philosophical traditions, whereby theistic patriarchal ideologies subjugate

women through dogmatic admonitions, sexual frustration might be the hidden pretext.
For some in the classical school of criminology, human behavior is very intimately
connected the psycho-sexual identity of the person. In addition, with oppressive male-
dominated belief systems that enforce extreme unquestioned control and power over
communal morality, there likely lurks intense fear about human sexuality. As a result, the
collective libidinous anxiety is cautiously protected by aggressive and intimidating
arrogance against women. As such, rules and regulations, and eventually laws, are
promulgated to enforce the undertones of power, control and domination.
In a cultural context, where extreme fundamentalism of ideation dominates the social
spectrum, there tends to be an absence of tolerance for individual differences. Likewise,
there is little or no acceptance of private deviance that is not unlawful. Such conditions
often culminate in a dangerous psycho-dynamic matrix of subjugation, exploitation and
suppression of any semblance of individualism. Respect for personal freedom has no
place in this scheme. With this turmoil of human interaction, you’re likely to find the
dark secretive nature of sexual dysfunction. In a sense, it’s a kind of evil.
Aggressive anti-social actions, and especially anti-female abuses, are part of thinking
processes that punish women for the amative shortcomings of men. Add to this a
religious perspective of a fanatical construct, and you get deadly motivations that
rationalize human torture and destruction for the sake of personal satiation. When this
misogynistic anti-thinking becomes a radically orthodox doctrine, it purposely transforms
into punitive sanctions with an endless list of excuses.
Meanwhile in western cultures, given the existence of due process and equal
protection through legal sanctions, such sexist inclinations are generally diffused
elsewhere. Not always, but generally speaking. Covertly through alternative non-violent
means, other exploitive means are sought out. But, suffice it to say, there is a
preponderance of indications that ideological extremes are used to cover the perceived
impotence and amatory fears of terroristic perpetrators. In other words, the willful neglect
of appreciating and cultivating one’s natural sexuality becomes weaponized.

In the idealization of male supremacy, women are a threat to the fragile carnality of
egoistic self-gratification. The perversion of masculinity at the expense of the female
gender remains an age-old saga of purposely warped supremacy, contrived manipulation
and justified domination. Thus, it is necessary in the terroristic sense, as well as the multi-
murderer conception of communal collectivism, to reinforce despotic sanctions on
women. Children as well become the targets of such un-satiated pent up anxiety.
Seduction to criminal activity is a potent allure to the dark-side of human nature.
In the historicity of the human species not much changes through the ages. As such,
from an extreme theistic feudal tradition spanning several centuries, given the indicators
at present, it seems reasonable to conclude the generality that extreme paternal pietistic
rationalizations are a superficial concupiscent veil. Fear of amative intimacy in the
sensual expression of natural inclinations is masked by the pretext of “holy war”.
Ideologically, sensuality is transformed and channeled into alternate outlets of
“weaponized” destruction. In terms of “terroristic” criminality, anti-social behaviors are
chosen means by which criminals rationalize their perceived erotic deprivations.
Failure to fulfill normal salacious urgings of sensuality, allows the unhallowed
sanctification for criminals to hide behind the disguise of extremism in canon, creed and
code. Fanatical thinking is a matter of personal and willful thinking processes. If one or
more persons collude to do a terrorist event, they freely choose to do evil. As a result
then, evil is what comes from within the person, accepted into group thinking and not
from some invisible force outside the person or the group. From the choices individuals
and groups make, come the expression of the joint nature of their criminality.
For those adherents to an extreme dogma of beliefs, there is no limit to sanctimonious
arrogance in the perpetration of contrived ignorance. Acceptance of such purposed
seductions promotes bigotry, chauvinism and intolerance. Likewise, conscientious
stupidity seldom fails to conjure the radical manifestations of logical fallacies to
perpetrate injustice. By pursuit of intolerant and zealous illusions for the sake of self-
aggrandizement, people are capable of all manner of atrocities. Depending on the social
and cultural context and the degree of freedom and equality, anti-social and aggressive
distortions of reality can be counter-balanced. This is accomplished through the
conscious and deliberate selectivity of alternate mechanisms.

Maladaptive sexuality surfaces wickedly from the selfish motivations of human

nature. From this matrix of thinking, aggressively malevolent hypocrisy lurks in the
shadows behind pretended assertions of moralistic codes of behavior. All over the world,
but particularly in ideologically oppressive regions, the fraud of moral precepts covers up
the degradations of intentional human tyranny. All too often this is particularly present in
those areas of the world where male dominance is supremely enforced by unquestioned
adherence to ideological doctrines. In some ways, this kind of purposeful inclination can
be seen as a sense of entitlement to both enjoy and punish the taboo and forbidden
pleasures others are denied. Outside public exposure, they conceal the other part of their
true personalities. That’s the myriad aspects of sexual promiscuity shaded by hypocritical
admonitions of so called “morality” and “family values”.
Terrorism expresses this licentiousness of hatred by men toward women. As a result,
the hypocrisy of religious extremism, dogmatized around a mythical belief system,
allows for those who have “sin” to cast many stones. Around fanatical adherents and
fixated gurus, there are usually enough rocks to build a mountain. Acts of chauvinistic
discrimination reveal the well-purposed narrow-mindedness of grotesque selfishness.
From fantasy to fruition, the fanatic mobilizes the energies to murder others in counter-
reflection of their own impotence and amative shortcomings. They can choose to harm
themselves (murder bombers), have other harm themselves on their behalf (more murder
bombers), or carry out homicidal behaviors on their own (hostage taking, kidnappings
and beheadings, assassinations, bomb plots, etc.).
Barbaric acts of treachery, torture and humanistic terrors are committed against the
less empowered and hide behind the guise of religiosity. Such cultural immorality is often
cloaked behind the veil of some “noble cause” for a “higher glory” for “eternal bliss” in a
“heavenly oasis”. By stifling individual freedom, particularly that of women and girls, the
fascistic terrorist controls his perception of “competition” for his greater personal
libidinous glorification. From genital mutilations, to honor killings, daily acts of gender
violence are justified by “holy sanctification” from some supernatural authority.
Duplicitous intentions contrive to inflict licentious tyranny by wanton implementation of
beatings, veiling, domestic slavery and rape. As such, terrorism and the crimes associated
with it, essentially stem from the twisted aberrations of abnormal sexuality.

The seduction to criminality, which affects us all in one way or another, is acting out
poorly constructed thinking processes reflective of faulty interpretations for the dynamics
of our psycho-sexual nature. As a larger scheme of ‘global jihad’ and ‘scheme’ is a key
word here, the aberration of “holy war” can be viewed as profound gender bias. In its
replication from fantasy to reality, terroristic application is devolution from a women
hating culture. Ideologically aggressive and socially hostile individuals, who choose
destructive views of women, are likely to inflict grave harm in a variety of forms. Not
only women within the culture, but women outside the culture, are treated with disdain as
well. Slightly different kinds of treatment can be observed from the violence.
Some of these abuses were mentioned earlier. Others come in the form of
condescending writings, communications, verbal derisions, and physically invasive leers.
In response to their erroneous perceptions of their inadequate masculine identification,
ideologically extremist terrorists, unlike all criminals in general, will do whatever they
deem appropriate to compensate for their amatory impotence. Perpetrators of psycho-
sexual violence find it all too easy to rationalize the cruelty of their behaviors.
In some cases, on a lower primitive scale of the criminal nature, we might call them
bullies or batterers and even bigots. At another level, with an ingredient of political and
alleged religious cover stories, we refer to them as assassins and terrorists. Given the
subjective validations in the perpetrators persistent rationalizations, especially from the
framework of fundamentalist ideations, murderous inflictions are erroneously
misinterpreted, misunderstood and ill-defined by the willing gullibility of most mass
media organizations. As a result, attendant fallacies of inference are readily accepted
without serious critical analysis from the distorted mindset of terroristic thinking.
Maladaptive sexuality is potentially dangerous and literally explosive when expressed
by the meanness of radical philosophically extremist human intentions. The lives,
freedoms and liberation of others, who chose non-violent means in pro-social situations
to evolve their sexuality, remain in constant jeopardy. Given the salacious proclivities
humans have, set the stage for purposeful excuses to inflict shameful atrocities. Criminal
activities and communal oppressions thereby collude to carry out egregious sanctions
against those less powerful. In the fundamentalist cultural context, this plays out life-
threatening zealousness, whereby hypocrisy is disguised as authenticity.

By impetus of the contrived inclination for personal hedonistic satiation, an

exclusively patriarchal system, supported by obsessive militant beliefs, will necessarily
treat women as objects to be conquered, controlled and dominated. Thus, “weaponized”
ideologies abusively create counterproductive social interactivity. No doubt zealots will
mess up a good thing and do so in very destructive ways. Their callousness for their self-
centered proclivities transcends normative processes of societal development. Later on,
this comes to be expressed in unnatural extremes of the terrorist versions of nihilistic
sexuality. As naturalistic eroticism are communally denied and punished through
theocratic canonicity, criminogenic perversions will contravene personal emancipation.
Unless such anti-human behaviors are dealt with, respectful capacities for civility,
equality and tolerance in matters of human sensuality will continually suffer.
