There is a big problem in Islamic culture. They disdain this world and life and are promised all those good things after they die. They take life very casually, even their own. There are numbers here whispered that 80% of all traffic accidents are from Arabs when they are just 20% of the population. You hear about crazy accidents with them all the time.
I used to live in Hollywood where there is a substantial population of middle easterners. So I have experience with this. As a rule they are even worse than the older Chinese drivers, who usually drive at 10mph. Yes very racist, but stereotypes come from somewhere.
Both cultures are heavy on fatalism. Well, Asia is heavy on fatalism. In Vietnam the ARVN troops would just sit out in plain sight on the river boats. After dark in Danang the ARVN patrol boats would just tie up somewhere and the crews would sack out. Nighttime is when all the action occurred.
