The Dark Clan

God revealed to us their common character traits in the
Qur'an:
But do not obey any vile swearer of oaths, any
backbiter, slandermonger, impeder of good, evil
aggressor, gross, coarse and furthermore, despi-
cable, simply because he possesses wealth and
sons. When Our Signs are recited to him, he says,
"Just myths of previous peoples!" (Qur'an, 68: 10
– 15)

It is of great importance to bear in mind these character-
istics when reading the information on the dark clan pro-
vided over the coming pages. This is necessary in order to
better understand the psychology of the clan members.

There is a hierarchical structure within the clan. There
are the leaders and their supporters but as a principle, they
act as one body in a highly organised fashion. Every mem-
ber's responsibilities are clearly defined. There is also a task
sharing mechanism in place between members where every

member knows what to do without it being explicitly stated.
For example, while one member sings the praises of deca-
dence using a fancy and philosophical terminology, another
becomes the role model of this glamourised way of life. Yet
another member will protect him if something goes wrong

because of his immorality or because of a crime he may have
committed. Some members use the press as a propaganda
tool to aid their brother in need and others misuse their state
powers to protect him from potential harm. The defence
mechanism, as will be seen in the coming pages is a funda-

mental feature of clan life and assures its continuity.
