PS: I seriously don't get where people get the whole "virgins" in heaven thing from. There's no such as virgins waiting in heaven, and real muslims know that.

I've read that the quote they are referring to is about white raisins which used to be valuable a long time ago. Somehow it was misinterpreted and there was a controversy when a Muslim scholar said it was about raisins and I think the Saudis did something to shut him up. I can't remember the article I read that in but it was interesting.
We should be caring about our interests. I'd love to know what country out there doesn't do that. At some point the hope is that our interests align with other people's interests but whether they do or not is irrelevant if I can live my life happily.
