You should view the documentary film, The Glass House, you will see how "stupidly" these people exist. Un-beleveable. They are almost a "stone age mentality" trying to exist in a "modern world." Much of their belief system is solely based on a obstinate slave-like control of the muslim men over women in their society. They claim their allah as their reasoning, but their reasoning is uncivilized, to say the least.
