As Salamu 'Alaykum,
Perhaps you have heard of the story of A BEAUTIFUL MIND. It was the story of Nobel Prize Winner John Forbes Nash, Jr whose doctoral dissertation at Princeton University was on and aspect of Game Theory which became known as Nash Equilibrium. In addition to having a brilliant mind, Professor Nash also, around the time of the birth of his son, in 1959 began to exhibit signs of paranoid schizophrenia.
Regrettably I never accomplished any ground breaking mathematical theories with my MENSA level IQ. I decided against my original course of academic study in Mathematics at Penn State University, Main Campus, and instead Majored in Individual and Family Studies with a heavy emphasis on Cultural Anthropology and The Writing Option. But, I have been called by friends paranoid. So, perhaps it is no wonder that given the cultural and political situation in The West that a Muslim who tends to look at the world with a slightly tilted view would wonder when typing his zip code into an online program along with the name of his town if perhaps in the age of Surveillance Cameras at most stores, banks, and major highways as well as projected to be on practically every street corner and the stripping away of Our Constitutional Rights under what I believe was a False Flag to facilitate the passing of the lovely named bill that caused George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Ben Franklin to "rollover in their grave", and the tracking of our purchases and credit history by who knows whom with the use of computers and "Bonus Cards" if perhaps those who watch over us to keep us secure might be devious enough to use online programs that tell us when it is time to pray and which direction will allow us to face toward Mekka to "keep track of us.
I can now added to my list of accomplishments one of the longest convoluted sentences in the history of the internet. As a boy growing up with stories of Alvin York, Audie Murphy, John Wayne, and the like I never thought that I would see a day where patriotism meant keeping your mouth shut and and support your government regardless.
"When the government fears the people you have liberty. When the people fear the government you have tyranny." Thomas Jefferson
"Those who give up a essential liberty to purchase a little security deserve neither liberty nor security." Ben Franklin
And, of course George Washington's farewell address where he warns about becoming involved in the affairs of other nations.
Well according to the online program it is nearing time for Fajr and I must go perform Wudu. Hopefully, I won't be able to answer this question from a personal perspective.
Strange how two young men who were closer than brothers while fighting a war 40 years ago in a distant land can travel such different paths to such different destinations.

) And, I had previously mentioned the IQ test that we were told that afterwards we could go out and play. I just went down the answer sheet shading the answers. I was done with the test in less than 10 or 15 minutes. The test wasn't done with me for the rest of my time in the public school system.
