At Yale Stanley Milgram carried out experiments to show that even decent moral people scumb to dictates by authority figures which make them do immoral things. And that is why it is very important to follow the Holy Quran chapter 4 verses 58 and 59. These say that people should be very careful about who they chose to rule them and check what their rulers are asking them to do is not against what Allah and His Prophet (s) have said.
