The Death Feud

I just finished reading Nelson DeMille's The Lion's Game, featured prominently in the book is an old Arab war song (pre-Islam):

Terrible he rode alone,   With his Yemen sword for aid; Ornament it carried none   But the notches on the blade.

Though I'm certainly not condemning the Arab people, there are certainly worse practices than feuds in the world, I think it helps one get into the mindset of an Arab who is a cultural and religious fundamentalist. While distorting Islam and expounding upon this song the fundamentalist finds all the justification in the world. For them it is not moral relativism it is simply justice.
