I'm asking, because these are the qualities that the pope-dwarfscavige seems
to attribute to IAS scientology supermembers.

Sometimes those are considered religious virtues. For example:

In the latest series of clashes that sparked over the weekend, eight
people were killed, according to Iran's Supreme National Security
Council -- making it the deadliest incidents since June.

The fighting came on the anniversary of Ashura, a major Muslim Holy
day that provided a critical religious backdrop. Ashura marks the
death of Imam Hussein, grandson of Prophet Mohammed, as a martyr.
Large crowds pour into streets each year for the observance.

Some demonstrators over the weekend compared Khamenei to Yazid, the
caliph who killed Imam Hussein.
