You are an idiot savant? Apparently high functioning, until you speak too long.

"Modesty," in Islam, is enforced upon the weak by force. "Modesty" in Western civilization, is driven by a respect for the sensibilities of others, even if they're not yours. In other words, civilation.

Do tell! Well, at least your using the term “savant” indicates you know how thin your assessment of me is.

I’d ask for you to validate your assertion about modesty with a citation of some sort, but I think you’d have an easier time finding “distinction without difference,” if you have to look something up. Perhaps you should also look up “functional illiterate,” for your own edification.
