Low-level corruption is just endemic across much of the world, whether it is notionally Muslim, Hindu, Christian, Buddhist or none of the above.
- ryanmarsh 6y agoThere are Christian countries?
- tacostakohashi 6y agoYes, there are established churches in several countries, England being one example. There's a list here for your reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_state https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_state
- Chris2048 6y agoThe official status of things, and the actual influence of monarchy/CoE in England are quite different. e.g; "Ofsted stopped inspecting collective worship in 2004, after 76 per cent of schools were found to be non-compliant." -- https://schoolsweek.co.uk/worship-in-school-assemblies-is-inappropriate-say-half-of-britons/ https://schoolsweek.co.uk/worship-in-school-assemblies-is-in...
- ryanmarsh 6y agoLOL at England still being a Christian country. I think the citizens might take issue with your assertion.

- CivBase 6y agoTo be fair, he said "This is one of the aspects of the Islamic world that I do not like." That does not imply that the practice is limited to Islamic countries, but it does imply that it is common in all Islamic countries. That said, I don't see any reason to believe the practice is a direct result of those countries being Islamic.
