"Let us be torn to pieces, let everyone die — because the Mahdi is coming."

When the people holding power don't consider the economy, welfare, or public safety to be relevant categories, economic logic collapses. The most hardline factions genuinely believe their job is to ignite war and chaos so that the awaited one appears. Sitting still, in their view, delays everything.
And here's the twist: this apocalyptic ideology is imposed on a population that has largely walked away from religion — a society where faith now matters less than it does in America.
That gap is the real story: an ideological state ruling a nation that no longer shares its beliefs.
