Description

In a region where axiomatically 'everything is OK', 'law and order are prevalent' and 'all citizens are safe' non-compliance is routinely and invariably blamed on mentally-ill, unrepresentative individuals; from the bombing of tourist buses in main squares of capital cities, to the systematic torturing of dissidents, and spanning repetitive incidents of mass-killing neighbours of different faith in rural villages, rape of homeless street-children, and encompassing negligence leading to death in any given institution.

The simple guise of 'A Terrorist' is not adequate nor sufficing, and surrogate ipseity is crucial.

The Arabic word "mukhtal" مختل -- short u & a, stressed l -- literally means 'imbalanced' and also means 'flipped out'.

The natural slant in the Persian Nastaaliq calligraphy combined with the lopsided congruity between the compact knot of letters at the beginning and the slender 'lam' at the end accentuate the celebrated inherent imbalance in your personality.

There's a feminine version as well.

You should make one feminine for me; Mokhtalah, love the concept.
