The entanglement of 'race', ethnicity and religion (or 'ideology'?) is an interesting topic. Sure it must have major Hyperstitional dimensionality, although can't pretend to see through to it yet.
I'm not even sure calling Judaism 'stupid' should count as antisemitism, and Judaism is a lot more racially coded than Islam.
Still, can't imagine there's any doubt Hyperstition is an intrinsic abomination against Monotheism in all its manifestations (THE enemy).

My guess is that when Houellebecq calls Islam 'the stupidest religion of all' he's endorsing its claim to be the culmination and absolute distillation of monotheistic belief - a twisted 'compliment'?

PS. I love the 'revelation in the Sinai desert' aspect. Agree or not, the guy has style.

I agree to Nick’s approach to Houellebecq’s claim (there is a secret twist lurking in that claim). Nick might be familiar with this line: Follow the Z. Crowd (the Z line) [http://www.cold-me.net/mb/messages/230.html] ... although hyperstition is an intrinsic abomination to monotheism, but on the other hand, the already sabotaged monotheism by the Z. crowd enables the autonomous emergence of hyperstitional particles as ‘devouring lines of a diabolical polytics’ and not merely contagious fiction or positive unbelief. Take monotheism as an electric current, hyperstition swirls around it as flies and magnetic currents inciting certain anomalies within monotheism which make Tellurian Omega or the Hyperstitional Meltdown of tellurian cults (cult of oil, metal, money, etc) overlap the monotheistic finality (apocalypse). If hyperstitions can take part so effectively and virulently in Tellurian Omega and awakening the Mother of Abominations, it’s because that the sabotaged monotheism itself strategically makes their polytics successful, effective, abominable and the same time hazardous; imparting a new tactical multiplicity to them which works as a guaranteed fuel for hyperstitions in their complicity in engineering the Telluro-occultural meltdown and awakening the Tellurian Omega.

Yes. We ought to say that hyperstition is a much more intimate adversary of the One God Universe in that the founding, disavowed trauma of OGU is its own origin as a hyperstitional system. Sorecerous hyperstition becomes overcoded as authoritarian magic, which calcifies into institutionalized religion. The miraculation of 'Truth'.

Houellebecq, a lapsed catholic, qualifies his attack on Islam with a love for the accoutrements of catholicism (all those lovely churches). Must confess, I'm with the Taliban and Cromwell on this: the most interesting aspect of Classical Theism is that its deity is the God without an Image. Classical theism = repressed uttunul cult.

Wahhabi iconoclasm is intriguing in this respect -they think all tombs and monuments are idols, even secretly demolishing mosques in the holy places. There's a perverse convergence of the Wahhab cult and the 'nuke Mecca' crowd - tending to apocalyptic obliteration of religious concreteness - real Monotheistic approximation to the incinerating terminal zero (where Gog meets Magog - Reza has lots of great stuff in this zone)

Thanks Nick for the kind words on the Gog-Magog axis (maybe I should transport a few Gog-Magog stuff from cold me to hyperstition) they may trigger interesting discussions and give us opportunities to play with them ...

>>>There's a perverse convergence of the Wahhab cult and the 'nuke Mecca' crowd

Brilliant ... leveling any architectural erection to perversely extract zero through Islamic apocalypticism ... has a lot of connections to Tellurian Omega.
