Yet mental health specialists advise against holding grudges, retaining anger and the like.
Several of the great religions Judaism, Christianity and to the extent one considers Buddhism a religion, forgiveness and allowing an affront to be forgotten for the mental health of an individual is essential.
It seems to an outsider that holding a grudge, holding on to anger, even against one' enemies, is a core doctrine of many Islamicists. Isn't that bad for mental health of adherents?

When was the last time you checked your assumption with a Shia faghih or a Shia scholar? Who has implemented to you that is permitted to kill people over an offensive images of prophet Mohammad ( peace be upon him)? Have you ever read stories about his life and the way he would deal with the offenders?
I know very little about you. But even though,your desire to hold such a wrong assumption for all these years and keep calling muslims out on that is beyond me.
So here is my theory about why you are trying to actualize your assumptoins with almost zero fact repertoire. You are quite intrigued by what you have found about Islam. And you would probably be considering beocme a Muslim if there werenot too much social political back lash. So you are trying to delay the process by injecting the false alegations to the story in order to appase your otherwise avid soul. Which is indeed considered unhealthy for mental health.
