There are lots of guys in Egypt who intentionally bruise up their foreheads, so they walk around with these bruised foreheads for everyone to see. And it's because they bow down when they pray, so it's like 'look at me, look at how much I pray' - a humblebrag like you said. Trying hard to appear virtuous rather than actually being virtuous.
So...I'm just saying, I think it's a bit of a thing in the Islamic world. It's a crazy religion.
All religion is a humble brag to some extent or another.
If you look at it as people trying to do the right thing tho it makes it easier to accept. As long as they stay out of my ear and of my porch I don't care.
There are asshats in every walk of life.
Live a good life and keep your side of the street clean and you'll have nothing to worry about.
Religion needs to suppress independent thought to ensure its agenda is submissively followed. Humble brag makes the suppression of common sense look cool. Eventually a zeitgeist develops that adds momentum to continuing social acceptance.
IIN I think "Islamic modesty" like the hijab is anything but "modest"

Fair enough, that's a good philosophy. Sometimes I do just want to hate them though, but your way's probably better..

I don't hate them. I just think they're very sad unfortunate victims of indoctrination, but they can be un-doctrinated.
