00:00If there is a rioter, the police may not be able to locate his identity, but for sure
00:05there are some people who definitely know who that person is.
00:08His wife knows, his parents know, his friends know.
00:12Think of a situation where this fellow engages in an act of rioting and returns home and
00:17is disowned by his wife.
00:19Would he still manage to remain the kind of ignorant figure that he is?
00:25Or just as family members partake in the bribe money that you bring home, they also partake
00:31in all kinds of toxic attitudes.
00:34Whatever they are doing is more or less actively or passively socially accepted.
00:40That's why they can afford to do what they do.
00:43Had they known that for displaying all kinds of perverse attitudes and behaviors in the
00:49name of religion, they would be socially ostracized, would they have still dared to do what they
00:54are doing?
