Once they decide the humor is OK, they could be experiencing a relief-like response.''

The way they are now moving will create fear and hatred. Their way will create their control for only a short period of time and then the control will self-destruct. With Guns, they can control anybody physically but not Mentally. When the Sufi's first came to the sub-continent, they learnt the Culture of the Sub-continent. They just studied the fine details of the different traditions of the Sub-continent. They found out that Music was a good way to connect with the people.
