The identity crisis many Middle Eastern populations suffer from; can show its marks in the Middle Eastern personality and values, through the immense obsession and irrational behaviors the region's suffering from.

The shock of defeat in World War 1, accompanied by the deciding of fate from outside the region; sent the local populations mad.

Changes include -but not limited to- the addition of Judaism as a new de-facto religion in the region through the establishment of Israel, the harsh defeat the Ottoman Islamic Caliphate met and last the prevailing of secular nationalism over religious rule.

Middle Eastern populations found themselves late, to perhaps light years away from the path to secular nationalism that the victors in WW1 took and practiced since the 18th century.

The result was utter confusion; similar to a nomad entering a royal feast. Even spoons are out of understanding for the nomad; what goes into their mind is utter inferiority and shame. It depends on the personality to stage the personal choices: tailoring each actions depending on the traits of the personality.

Mainly; it's nothing but taking advantage of the nomad when the need insists for the other guests; and a choice of remaining at the current state if total vulnerability for the  nomad.

The reaction can extend to get rid of the vulnerability's feeling through hurting the crowd. It can also extend to hurting the other nomads and serve as a minion for the guest that pays more.
Copying what the guests are doing to fit in is also one of the main headlines in the sheet of defeat the nomad is carrying.

With time; these complexes begin to manifest in the nomad's behaviors. Need for a better tomorrow and dreams about starting their own party vanishes and evaporates as the spoons and forks fail to stay in the hand of the nomad.

Noticing the historical events that led the guests to be who they are; and noticing that everybody is equal don't seem to come up in the nomad's head. Eventually; the defeat in WW1 still has its bitterness and shocking effect.

If the Caliphate was defeated; maybe it wasn't that worthy to win anyways.
Maybe God wanted to show Sunni and Shiites the bitterness of defeat that followed the belief in nonsense.
Maybe the nomad didn't get a civilization because instead of building something; they suicide bombed something.
Maybe and maybe.
