Hello Amanda I'll tell you a short story about me, to understand better what I'm writing to you. I'm 60, and I was born in a communist ideology cave (this is my own expression). There is a category, which they name : moral politically aptitude, some kind of how much a person obey idea. It is not strange for you :) As from my youth I was very sharp tongue, I was in situation to think about my material existence, and after graduating I worked more outside my country, this way gaining my material goods. As I didn't want to leave my country, I used to do this way. My generation fellows, were or politically aptitude fit, or emigrated. Good, obeying man, get a flat, house, good work position etc.
Now you wander, why I tell you all this. Countries where I used to work, and earn very good money were Iraq or Libya, as well as UK. So I was many years with our fellows in Allah :) in very close touch. They have the same criteria of moral political aptitude like communist. They follow each other, denounce each other, rank each other by how many times bow sterile in a pray. In fact, I never saw such many lies, such many thefts (proper thefts), as well so much leisure as in these places.
To be more explicit about their philosophy, i used to go Saturdays to my general Manager, with a plan for next week. Than he used to ask me: why need this, why need that. Before signing approval. I tell for example: I need that one for tomorrow there and there. I could see his eyes upside down, and ask: Bukra? (tomorrow?). Then with a deep breath: In Shalah! (If God will). This hope tell you everything. Thinking destructive is behaviour there.
I think I touched alive some things of you previous post.
Have a great time.
