Watch how Muslim the melee relates to the world as one identity. Then ,however, take note of the schizms that develop within the group towards itself. Conflict with out-group people is built in to Islam. It is the dynamic through which Koranic scripture, both as a manuel for daily living activities, as well as guidelines for banditry (“Big Mo” claims two fifths of everybody’s war booty). And Ol”man Mo beheaded more than a few victims himself.
Real spiritual issues are lost in a morass of micro managerial executive orders that range from proper poop disposal to how a good little muslim wife should shave her pubes when the old man is coming home after a hard day of caravan looting. (Really, it’s in the book… read it)!
P.S. Don’t be too put- out about the language. Just ask yourself, “Would these people make more sense in English?” HMMMMM?
