Covertly Aggravating is the Intent
Covert means of aggravating others is to minimize and ignore the wishes of others.
When I saw the pictures of Muslims blocking American streets to do their prayers, it reminded me of the narcissists I have known who would do exactly what they know will irritate and aggravate their target to cause trouble.
All they had to do was stay out of the street and pray in their own mosque. Their blocking of the street was, an in your face, "this is our country now", assertion, deliberately designed to create frustration and turmoil.
They are working in the mindset of narcissists who love to start fights and claim they are just needing to be in the street. Of course it's a lie and covertly possessing a modicum of "plausible deniability", this way they can pretend they meant no harm and those that protest are the trouble makers.
Narcissists always love to start fights and claim it was the fault of the victim, when all the victim did was protest the ill treatment. They will even change the version of the events to make themselves appear innocent.
There is no reasoning with someone like this, the only way to deal with them is to stay as far away as possible, any attempt at reasonable dialogue will be met with more harassment. The more one tries to explain and reason with a narcissist the worse things become.
The only way to deal with Islamic narcissists is to keep them out or remove them. The more we placate them, the more we cater to them, the worse things are going to become.
The more ground the narcissists take the more they will demand. We know this from the continual battle in the Middle East, the Palestinians don't want "more" territory, they want all of it and will not rest until they have destroyed Israel.
The concepts here for dealing with narcissistic groups and religions, is also applicable to personal relationships. Those who love power over others, are jealous of others and must feel a sense of superiority will always be this way.
There is no avenue that will work with narcissists, whether overt or covert, they have the same agenda, that is to dominate and frustrate. Destroying relationships and denying truth is the top priority of those who love to harm others.

Denying Christ in Lifestyle
Is it possible to deny Christ in actions and lifestyle while claiming to have believed in Him?
1 John 2:18-24
"18 Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.
19 They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that [a]it would be shown that they all are not of us.
20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all know.
21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
22 Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son. 23 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also.
24 As for you, let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father."

Do Not Take the Side of the Abuser
When someone becomes angry that you have rebuked them for a rudeness, it is the clue that they are not being controlled by the Holy Spirit.
A Holy Spirit controlled person would not be mean just to provoke, and if they were having a bad day and were rude without thinking, they would catch themselves, they would be ashamed and say sorry immediately.
No child of God uses tactics such as "the silent treatment" to cause deep hurt in the other person. No child of God could stand that they hurt someone, they want to help, they love to fix.
Those who practice control and intimidation are not walking in the Spirit. The Spirit would convict them of sin.
1 John 3:9
"9 No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God."
A child of God defends those who are being abused, stands with the innocent and seeks to help in recovery. A child of God never takes the side of the abuser.....ever.
Proverbs 31:8-9
"Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute. Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy."
Psalm 82:3
"Vindicate the weak and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and destitute."
Zechariah 8:16
"These are the things that you shall do; Speak you every man the truth …"

What We Believe Shapes Our Actions
What we believe shapes our actions. If we feel superior, we will demean others, if we are humble then we will value others.
