The Muslim Authoritarian Mentality
By Amil Imani

For thousands of years, Arabs lived in an authoritarian paternalistic culture.  There was always a headman, a chief, a dictator, or a know-it-all who had the answers or resources who had to be followed and obeyed.  This "follower mentality" had great heuristic value.  It freed the masses from the often arduous task of thinking for themselves, taking responsibility, and tackling problems.  It was always easier to let someone else do all those chores and simply follow his directives.  This type of mentality was ideal for Muslims who did not want to think for themselves.

Authoritarian paternalistic culture ruled the Arabs for as far back as historical records show.  Arabs were always headed by an autocratic man.  At times, there were councils, all male and usually advisory in function with no or little executive power.  The headman embodied in himself all authority: the legislative, the judiciary, and the executive.

And now the US has Trump, who gets exactly the same sort of obeisance from his followers.

...and the sort those followers expect of everybody else.  I was told just yesterday that skepticism of the President is the equivalent of cowardice.  That dog not only didn't hunt, it was mercifully put down quickly.

To paraphrase a coward, Muslims don't have the market cornered on this idea.

I was going to ask him to video tape the exchange, but I know he's clever and might figure out that I'm trying to get him in trouble.   :laugh:

She did lay down that law about making me suitable food.  She saw how I cook.

Stop  trying to pigeonhole me by calling me "NT."  It's rude, and worse, it's inaccurate.

And yes, I said the same things about Reagan and Bush, but notably NOT their supporters.  Both had disappointed me in some way.

A book I read recently made the point that this was a difference between the Russians and Ukrainians, pre-Communism.  The Ukrainians were farmers and didn't have an authoritarian structure; the Russians were serfs or masters.  The friction is still there.
