"You can tell a lot about a person by observing his priorities..."
So what ARE your priorities?
Well for the moment understanding the matriarchal nature of Arab/Muslim society would be one priority. I have been speculating on how that one difference in priorities affects their whole culture. In our culture family is formed around husband and wife, which generally leads to children. The result is a focus on the future. In the Arab world children are raised by the women and the only real family bonds a man has are to his mom, resulting in predominate focus on the past.
