Analysis:
 "No faith or tradition tolerates the random killing of our brothers and sisters on this earth"
If Omar, the brother of Alih doesn't taught him that by killing they can wash their shame away, Maybe Alih won't have
the argue to kill his own brother just to protect Fermina at the end of the story because Alih is not that bad at all.Omar
is the one who influence his mind as well as his life because Omar dictates everything about his life. The two brothers
have their own beliefs but since Alih choose his feelings over brain he haven't think right and he did the wrong thing.
