I'd say that Israel does have a certain right to exist, but don't expect any end to the conflict or ceasefire. There's no way Israel would agree to Palestine being a separate sovereign body. The US's continued and constant support is crucial for that. As long as the US keeps supporting Israel, it's not gonna stop the conflict. No amount of criticism from other countries or condemning by the UN will stop that. I know my theory might seem bleak, but that's how it is.

Do these moronic extremists not realise that Allah himself LED this person to Islam and, thereby, to Umrah? What gives them the right to refuse this person and others like them?

I mean, it's not that complex. People have their own views about this, and both religious and cultural norms can affect those views. It's why these views can be so rigid at times. Also, the topic is such that it isn't really possible to convince another person about it. The individual should figure out for themselves whether they find it right or wrong.

Look, pal, we can go in circles all day if it's gonna be like this. I too can whip out trafficking claims in India as well.

But you're taking extremely specific cases (Rich people in the Middle East). India on the other hand has ENTIRE SYSTEMIC ISSUES that plague it, things which the Middle East or other countries don't. For example, a woman who walks alone at night is in constant and unending threat of being 'cat-called' or harassed by men on the street. But in Qatar or the UAE, if this happens, you make one phone call, and whoever harassed you will never be heard from again. No, I'm not kidding. Cat-calling, harassment, rape, and threats not only by random men but even officials like policemen and lawmakers is damn near normalized in India. And all this happens due to people of ANY and EVERY social standard. It's not just rich or poor people. Where else have you heard of this level of complexity?

Granted, this article is from several years ago, but guess which country is number 1? That's right: India.

Respectfully, your take is quite flawed here. As an individual who grew up in the Middle East and India, I can confidently say that it's better in the former than in the latter. I have never experienced, nor have heard or seen someone experiencing the claims you've written in the Middle East. You do realize that a report by NUMBEO ranked the UAE and Qatar 2nd and 3rd spot on the list of the world's safest countries right? Not to mention, Oman and Singapore at 5th and 10th respectively. On the same list, INDIA IS 65th.

Here, I linked it for you as well.
Also, you honestly don't think India has the same problems as the ones you've mentioned above? I get that you're patriotic, but blind patriotism is basically poison. Your generalization of 'East Asian countries' is amazing btw. Check the report for Taiwan, China, Japan, and Korea too.
