#2 I'd highlight 2 reasons.

1. Inshallah - Nothing is actually your responsibility.

2. Clans/Tribal societies that view everything as a zero sum game.

#7 Still takes me back to one of Michael Yon's posts from 2005

He apparently updated it in 2008, but the first section, 'Kashmir: Then' is still relevant.

#11 Cousins marry cousins. The aborigines in Australia were even smarter than that - Google "Australian Aboriginal kinship". The reason that Arabs marry relatives is to concentrate wealth.

#14 Didn't work out well for them after a few centuries, Glenmore.

A few rich aristocratic families still around, but without the 'wealth and health' of the earlier sets.

#15 As the old joke goes - Why are there no Muslims on Star Trek? Cause the stories take place in the future...
