Terrorism and circumcision; circumcised first, then fanaticized (psychoanalysis of terrorism - circumcision turns men into weapons of war)
EXCERPT
"Sexual
violence is, with torture, what causes the most psychotraumatic
disorders."
Muriel
Salmona
The Islamist assaults do not make their victims
anywhere and do not target anything. They systematically occur in places of
pleasure, leisure and encounter: beaches, hotels, bars, night-clubs, pleasures
of sport (stadiums), pleasures of food (markets), spiritual pleasures (mosques,
churches), intellectual pleasures (schools, universities, libraries), pleasures
of music (concert venues), marginal pleasures (homophiles). The compulsion to destroy the aesthetic and
cultural heritage: works of art, statues, archaeological sites, museums, libraries,
churches, mosques, etc., discloses the unconscious trauma provoked by
circumcision in the open air. Attacking precious objects achieves a vivid
metaphor of circumcision. The paradigm of that compulsion lies in the suicide
of the terrorists, which repeats their own circumcision.
