I have always wondered at the affectionate and cooperative relationship between collectivists and islam.
Suddenly it is clear. They are both micromanaging control freaks.
You've never had to work with one of those "micromanaging control freaks" before? They come in both genders, all ages, white/blue collar professions/jobs, all nationalities and all faiths.
They do themselves in eventually. MAYBE the good Lord will let you see that momentous event someday.
Unfortunately, collectivism is part and parcel of the human condition sometimes. The Mormons were a little bit like that. I had an uncle (my mother's brother) and aunt who became Mormons as adults, so I got to know the faith pretty well.
When the INTERNET hit their community, all heck broke loose and the LDS BLED members, especially the young.
I didn't notice the collectivism where we lived in the KSA but that's not saying much. Our women's group was large (800 women) but we were an eclectic bunch and reveled in our differences. The camp even produced its own cookbook.
By the way, how are the Islamic collectivists "affectionate"? I can't figure THAT one out. The Kingdom is still basically tribal and the "affection" pretty much stays within the tribe.
You nailed it, congrats! Control freaks are birds of a feather and they don’t care about their differences when they share the same goal - subjugation.
Death to Shariah!
