I'm not sure why you feel religion is important to mention.
- xenospn 3y agoI’m not sure why you feel it isn’t.
- 100721 3y agoBecause authoritarian regimes should be plenty to dissuade tourists. Or is North Korea a good tourist spot, because it's not an Islamic country?
- belter 3y agoCue you me in on Democratic, Respecting Human Rights, Modernist, Islamic Countries?
- TheOtherHobbes 3y agoYou're unfamiliar with Azerbaijan? Honestly, I'd feel much less endangered as a secular progressive in Azerbaijan than I would in - say - Alabama.

- local_crmdgeon 3y agoHonestly Indonesia is kind of close. Definitely not anywhere in MENA
- jjj123 3y agoNot sure I’m able to do that, but I can tell you about non-Muslim countries that are just as bad, and plenty of practicing Muslims that are progressive and totally cool with lgbt people. That suggests to me the issue is more about authoritarian governments than it is the particular religion the authorization govt is tied to.

- wkat4242 3y agoIt's them that are making it about religion, as they use it as a foundation for the more unsavoury policies like oppression of women, LGBT etc. Don't forget that these countries explicitly have very little separation between religion and state. If you let religion dictate laws, then criticism of your laws will reflect on your religion as well.
- InCityDreams 3y ago>Don't forget that these countries explicitly have very little separation between religion and state. Despite what is written, the same could be said for the USA: the money states very clearly in what is trusted.
