THE RELIGION OF THE IGNORANT

            never are they invited out of the living/dining room. If the guest
            does happen to leave the room, they are made to feel that this is un-
            welcome.
                 If the guest has traveled from a long way away and must stay
            for a few nights, the hosts' patience will be tried to the extreme. In a
            short while, everything the guest eats, does, and wears will become
            a separate cause for complaint. The hosts will calculate every penny
            they've spent, from the olive pits left on the plate to the cups of tea
            consumed, from the number of meals the guest has eaten to the
            number of baths taken and the volume of water consumed. Their
            every action will soon make the guest feel unwanted. It's therefore
            impossible to feel comfortable in such a home.
                 Of course, guests also behave in accord with the rules of the
            Religion of the Ignorant. That means seeking to extract as much ben-
            efit as possible from the home in which they are guests and never
            thinking whether they are making their hosts at all uneasy. They
            will engage in many other forms of thoughtlessness.
                 In conclusion, no matter what the situation, people establish an
            environment that troubles both themselves and others. The reason
            for this is poor moral values, far removed from those of the Qur'an.
            The difference between the warmth that Islam encourages in a per-
            son and the moral values prevailing in Ignorantism can be seen
            clearly in every aspect of daily life. Due to the inhumane, thought-
            less and selfish behavior created by the Religion of the Ignorant, a
            great many are troubled, unable to live at ease or find a close, trust-
            worthy friend. Nonetheless, millions continue to abide by
            Ignorantism with the greatest determination, thus causing them-
            selves great distress. This situation is described in the Qur'an:
                 Allah does not wrong people in any way; rather it is people
                 who wrong themselves. (Surah Yunus, 44)
