Oh, sure.
If they have any money, they’ll try to hold onto it that way and not “let it leave the family.”
But the tyical unemployed, dirt-poor “Arab Street” derelicts don’t give the impression of having much, if any, property.
But you never can tell-—that’s for sure.
I am just saying that sometimes the motive is money as well as custom.
However, I am sure that most of the people practicing THIS ‘custom’ are desperately poor. They are so demoralized and uneducated that challenging the tradition of centuries is terrifying, if it is thinkable at all.
The more we know about the Muslim culture/religion, the more backward and de-humanizing it is. In truth, Islam is NOT a faith but rather a system of tyranny.
The surest and most complete way to gain and wield tyranny over people is to de-humanize them to the point of abject servitude. The historic record is bursting with examples of this. Where Islam is concerned… servitude to the ‘idea’ of faith and to obedience always was, and remains, the means to achieve and exercise permanent and absolute power.
Humanity is hobbled like this. For Western cultures, it has been warfare, disease, poverty, oppression, ignorance… most of which are by now, overcome. However, entire populations in the ME have for centuries been stunted by Islam. The obstacles to human development THERE are suffocating and insurmountable.
Who knows… maybe the guy who was going to find the cure for cancer was killed in one of their mindless Jihads… maybe the woman who could advance the cure for AIDS is sitting at home with a sheet on her head….etc. It is positively criminal for Muslims to call their ‘system’ fair or good. NOTHING which SO cripples the human spirit is either fair or good!!!
