• Se refiere al comportamiento que hace que la vida militar sea peor de lo necesario: el acoso mezquino de los débiles por los fuertes; la lucha abierta por el poder, la autoridad y el prestigio; el sadismo apenas disfrazado de disciplina necesaria; un constante "ajuste de cuentas"; y la insistencia en la letra en lugar del espíritu de las ordenanzas.

They have been inculcated with a lust for prestige and a fear of doing things that may put their status at risk.

• The significance of the vast Islamic scientific tradition for Muslims and especially for young Muslims today is not only that it gives them a sense of pride in their own civilization because of the prestige that science fhas in the present day world. It is furthermore a testament to the way Islam was able to cultivate various sciences extensively without becoming alienated from the Islamic world view and without creating a science whose application would destroy the world of nature and the harmony that must exist between man and the natural environment.
