I can't tell for sure what they do outside of work, but I'm betting they do the same things as everyone else. Except - more praying and less eating bacon. And some of them have more than one wife, although not necessarily in the same country.
I guess I'm curious to see how they would define themselves. I was always so shocked to hear about the beliefs of My friend's family. They were always so nice to me. We would hang out just like normal people. She would dress me in hijab just for fun sometimes but never because her family would treat me any differently when I wasn't dressed that way. I guess they secretly considered me a whore and a lot of other terrible things but they were always really nice to me.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
