Historically, aggression, regarding religious,
political, and economic freedom goes back many years-Jews leaving Egypt, the Crusades,
the founding of our country and our own Civil War to name a few. Currently, we
know about Muslim extremists with their idea of death to the infidels, the Jews,
Israel and to anyone holding the values and attitudes in current and modern Western
culture.
We understand that adaptive aggression serves us well and is
necessary for life. However, if we view malignant aggression as a character
flaw, and that man can be driven by impulses to kill, torture and feels just
doing so, then we have a major problem. This malignant aspect sets man apart
from animal as the human animal is the only one that both kills and destroys
his own species. Individuals whose character structure have developed the
potential for killing and destroying life under pretense of God’s will, or some
other distortion are to be feared. These individuals are not worthy of being
loved as they can be characterized as loving death, destruction and are driven
to exploit and to control others. Not only are they deviants who hate life as
opposed to loving life, they have a necrophilia orientation and worship
violence and destruction. The use force ,
torture, to humiliate and kill their
possessions as their victims are not seen as individual people .These
necrophilia’s are not capable of loving
others with mutual respect, equal sharing in a non-possessiveness,
non-dominating atmosphere. This means that the hope for rehabilitation for these
individuals is extremely limited and that improving their socioeconomic,
educational conditions is not the answer.
Another characteristic of individuals that have developed an
anti-life philosophy and behavior relates to their engaging in some terrorist
bombing, killing- kidnapping episode. What is often the case, is that a
homicide mission becomes a suicide mission as well. This is perfect example of
sadomasochism behavior. The end result is in their humiliation, capture, death,
or prison. They have no future here on earth.
