Islam is probably the farthest removed from altruism you can get. In its character, its philosophical and cultural history and its consequences.

In the place of “society,” place Allah. The individual Muslim sacrifices his life, in varying degrees, to dictates of the Koran.
That is how Rand defines altruism—man vs. The State/The Tribe/The Collective.
