In this episode I talk about how Islam enables and empowers narcissistic mothers. And how Islam can never uphold its values and ideology in a free world. In order for Islamic ideology to thrive it requires power and force. Where there is reason, rationality, compassion and preservation of life Islam will not function. This is why you see Islamic leaders and moderate in West lie about Islamic ideology. One of the major lies is that children have rights under Islam. All one has to do is go direct to the Islamic sources. Enjoy the episode my fellow outliers!

Why are people quick to diagnose bad behaviour? Are they lying to themselves to avoid the truth? Have you ever been so caught up in your lies that you lied more to get yourself out? How have you dealt with taboo questions in your relationship? Do you respond the same to a paper cut as you do a stab wound?  

If you never have an opinion you can never be wrong. Is that a life worth living? On the other extreme, is the desire to be right a strength or weakness? How freely do you share your opinions?  And what about death. Why is it a surprise when people die?
