Despite it all, the residents go about their business, the society somehow holds together, and I saw no one lose their temper. People are friendly and helpful. Other religions are tolerated(more than 10 percent of the population is Hindu) and treated with respect. There is a mistrust of Islamic fundamentalism (as well as American imperialism). In the US, there would have been multiple shootings just from road rage.
