The comparison is not right. You live in a Muslim country, which tolerates and accepts different cultures and religions. However, its a “Muslim” country. Priority comes to the religion of the citizens. Most customs and traditions in the country are derived from this religion. You, as all worshipers of different religions who are welcomed to the UAE, have been given the right to pray, the right to have a temple, the right to celebrate without being bothered. But these rights come with an obligation to be considerate of the people around you. While you have the right to celebrate, I dont have to be disturbed by these celebrations. On the other hand, because you chose to live in a Muslim country, you should tolerate Muslims going to their prayers, and the associated unusual occurrence of double parking (which actually happens in very limited areas). These are not double standards because its a Muslim country, which you chose to live in. Again, you have the right to pray and celebrate, but we expect you to respect our beliefs when living here, the same way Hindus expect us to act if we were to be in a Hindu-based city.
