My biggest frustration is seeing potential wasted, unvalued, and left to die for nothing.
Great in numbers and weak in will.
There are many ideas I fundamentally agree with, but the parts that require discipline, responsibility, sacrifice, and hard work are the parts almost nobody wants to follow. What use is it to have beliefs you don't care to follow?
It is only so people embrace the language of rights and privileges, while ignoring the obligations that make those rights sustainable in the first place. Moral obligations.
Societies do not become weak when decadence exists as an exception. They become weak when decadence becomes the norm. It happens when comfort replaces character, and entitlement replaces responsibility. You can see it in plenty of societies that so fragile that any stronger or more disciplined power can trample over it.
And this doesn't apply to Muslims alone, it applies to most of the world today even western countries. People who genuinely believe in freedom, collectively and seriously, do not end up entirely controlled by a small ruling class while acting as though they themselves bear no responsibility...that foreign interventions that end up in innocent deaths are someone else's responsibility...The ease with which they are controlled is itself evidence of weakness and decadence.
So yes, there is truth in certain generalities, even if people dislike hearing them. The corrupt rule the corrupt and the corrupt are without a doubt great in numbers. They are the norm.
