The freedom/temptation/corruption is what the Terrorist are afraid of. And, now I can see why.

Apparently at least in this example a large group of the Saudi Muslims are ready to jump ship when there is no Law to keep them from doing so.

This could be the same for the other Muslim Nations.
Depending on the country, I think that could be true. The guys I knew had no individual moral center. I'm not saying that as a critique. It's just what happens in countries in which law controls almost everything. There's no opportunity to develop self-discipline and critical judgment because it's all done for you by force. It's not really conducive to a 'rational' 'free' and 'creative' society. People need to be taught how to make moral decisions for themselves if we don't want an authoritarian society.
