Alan Caruba; "Lethal Narcissism"

Warning Signs  "The problem is that it is often difficult to spot narcissism when it becomes a pathological disorder. In the case of the cult that Jim Jones fostered, it ended with the suicide of some nine hundred of his followers who gave a poisoned drink to their children and then took it themselves. History is filled with examples of men whose disorder led to the deaths of countless people to satisfy their delusions about themselves."

Mr. Caruba lists nine distinctives of narcissism which include these:

...3. Is firmly convinced he or she is unique and can only be understood by other high-status people.
4. Requires excessive admiration, adulation, attention and affirmation.
5. Feels entitled and demands automatic and full compliance with their expectations.

Now, lest you think this is one more assessment of the current president (because these qualities do describe him, wouldn't you say?), here Mr. Caruba surprises us all: 
"At this point, you are probably thinking that I am describing Barack Hussein Obama, but in fact I am quoting from Ali Sina’s book, “Understanding Muhammad and Muslims.” Sina is one of the world’s leading authorities on both and...has made it his mission to encourage Muslims to understand how Islam warps their normal human values of love, tolerance, and life itself."
