The Arab nations have a problem. Their people can't focus. Islam forces them to have a divided mind. It's mainly due to the rituals that are constantly interrupting their daily activities. This is why Israel always out smarts them. I've worked around Muslim people in various countries and I see the pattern. Don't get me wrong, they can be the nicest people but it allows them to excuse themselves whenever a deep issue needs resolving.
The Witness Way does the same thing to the school/work week. It was worse when they had the separate Book Study evening. That's why you have all these uneducated folks that can't think critically. The meeting is just parroting session of the literature.
