Makkal the Older has a number of those miniature slaver-hounds: small, annoying creatures that yap up a storm whenever someone walks by and leave tiny piles of crap on the kitchen tile.

I find you greatly remind me of them.

In the future, kindly refrain from lecturing Khanid on their own nation or people.

Render unto Khanid the things which are Khanid's; and unto God the things that are God's.

I must agree with Captain Hanaya on this matter. Simple textbook descriptions do little justice to any group of persons - especially when the sources are possibly questionable (if this were the case).

"I say that even as the holy and the righteous cannot rise beyond the highest which is in each one of you - so the wicked and the weak cannot fall lower than the lowest which is in you also.  And as a single leaf turns not yellow but with the silent knowledge of the whole tree, so the wrong-doer cannot do wrong without the hidden will of you all."

I appreciate your tone. I was running off of textbook descriptions - I feel like I just got into my secondary education and think I'm the smartest thing in the universe, when in reality I've just read some persons short introduction to the knowledge that I must first obtain to properly discuss such matters. I shall return in several months when I have a better understanding.

It's quite alright. At one time or another many of us fall victim to the trap of the "short note" version. One should not be too surprised in retrospect that residents of the Kingdom end up taking offense at having their rich culture and heritage boiled down to a paragraph or two, and will react with varying degrees of propriety.
