NOTE
Why I call this a delusion rather than use the neutral word misconception is that this is a loaded assumption.
They firstly think that their religion is true and consequently that only their religion is true. And from that they think that all non-Muslims (non-submitters) are Kaafirs (hiders), and are materialists. That is, they believe all people of other religions know their beliefs are false, and they are all truly materialists. (A sample conversation attached below for proof, and I assert by experience that it is the general opinion.)
Therefore they say, we won’t understand the the glory of fighting and dying in war, since we are materialists. That is their rationale for pointing out how 1) they continue to fight in Gaza (when I pointed out how they claim to be victorious while they are being destroyed), and 2) how the Quraysh people did not fight back and chose to give up and convert (i.e. because they are materialists who did not have the guts to fight like Muslim warriors).
This is totally based off of their delusion that 1) all others are liars 2) they are all materialists and 3) the only idea that is not materialist is their idea of dualistic theism and divine command as prescribed by Muhammad.
Believing something like that itself is crazy and one would have to be deeply tied in some mental deadlock-knots to think that way, and untying it is nearly impractical. This is exactly why I agree with the quote by Winston Churchill that’s often summarized as “(the fanatical frenzy of) Islam is to man what Rabies is to a dog.”
The original quote is:
“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries (followers)! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia (Rabies) in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy.”
— Winston Churchill in “The River War” (1989)
I did not mention other problematic ideas because this is the root delusion from which all others derive, so I can just skip them here, leaving them to studies about the religion.
Here’s an example of a conversation to back my claim (and this isn’t an uncommon opinion):
Now for an example of ideas that are not Muhammadian and still not materialistic, the Vedas posit Brahman as your singular ultimate soul, which is one without another, with the world as an unreal phenomenon detached from your essence.
But even in that sense, the world is something significant on its own to be seen, rather than something to be escaped from to attain a paradise, because all worlds of dualism, which are not Brahman, are ultimately unreal, and the only realization that leads to liberation is the knowledge that you are Brahman.
In that sense, death is not to be feared, and life is not ultimately significant, but in the empirical reality, life still feels meaningful, and our feelings remain valid there. And it is unlike Muhammadians who can blow themselves up or kill themselves otherwise thinking they’ll attain paradise, which is not an idea shared by Indians, and for that reason, is not an idea that’s moral for Indians (and almost all others) to entertain.
