US Forces Demonstrate Cultural Insensitivity Again

They have 'bacon' sandwiches and they are very realistic. Didn't dare ask what animal however.

The only problem is, if society doesn't have a set of rules to follow (like a moral culture) then it can decline into an unruly mob

I don't think for one moment you can suggest that Pakistan, Syria or Nigeria do not have a set of rules like moral culture. What is true is that their rules are different from 'our' rules.
One country allows its citizens to carry guns - another does not allow car washing or grass cutting on a Sunday - another limits the hours you may shop on a Sunday.
These are all 'rules' that are enforced in one way or another.

A certain Sultanate's airline once had an arab ground engineer who possessed a suitably worded stamp that he used on his bottles of Chivas to mark them as halal to import them into the "Abode"

PN....I am going by the presence of "unruly Mobs"....as that was the standard being used to judge. Pakistan surely has to qualify for that if that is the standard being used to frame the argument.
Anything over that and you are trying to put words in my mouth.

Maybe because the number of practicing Christians is in sharp decline and being replaced by a larger number of practicing Muslims coming to live in the West? Unfortunately, the Enlightenment hasn't reached the world of Islam and anyone speaking out about religion gets dispatched pretty quickly - sounds like the Spanish Inquisition all over again!
Anyway, back on topic, if MRE is dropped out the back of the Herc/C17 and if you happen to be starving then the good book will allow you to eat it, Halal or no Halal.

Apart from Islam, the fastest growing religion in the west; maybe because it still sticks by its ideals, rules and regulations (whether we agree with them or not) unlike Christianity?

SASLess, me put words in your mouth? Never.
Seriously though, you may be surprised to know that MOB is actually a semi-legal term in that part of the world. I would venture to suggest that Mob is a function of population numbers whereas in less populous areas Crowd suffices.
'Mob' would appear to be a very large number of people where there is both few CCTV cameras and insufficient resources to monitor those that exist.
When I was in India there were two instances. One where we had to use a different road, a 'mob' had closed the road after a bus ran over a child. What they really wanted was a large sum in compensation.
The other was reported where someone had been 'hacked to death by the mob.' This was also code for saying that no assailants would be identified as it was done by an amorphous body.
