OK. I apologize for that comment. Too used to Land, McRitchie, et al, who do seem to have that problem. And I am willing to leave concepts such as truth, justice, knowledge, power, charity, compassion, purpose, mercy, etc outside of this construct for the time being. Social adaptations. People and higher animals have some degree of awareness and want to continue to live. It quickly gets noticed that individuals on their own have short and brutal lives. Cooperation leads to more pleasant and longer lives. It is probably selected for genetically, but particularly with primates, genetics is only part of the story. Training, education, and culture become very important additions once brains exist that can handle them

"A philosophy of self-centredness, under whatever disguise, would be both incomprehensible and reprehensible to the Muslim mind. That mind was incapable of viewing man, whether in health or sickness as isolated from God, from fellow men, and from the world around him. It was probably inevitable that the Muslims should have discovered that disease need not be born within the patient himself but may reach from outside, in other words, that they should have been the first to establish clearly the existence of contagion." salam.muslimsonline.com The problem with the western perception of Arabs is the images they see on t.v. Arabs are as diverse in type as native Europeans.
