- dotancohen 3y agoThe Middle East is not "a risky place to travel" - look at Israel. Plenty of gays, very little rape and when it does happen the rapist is charged, you can take selfies, you can drink wine. If you want to say something about some culture then say it. But don't generalise to the point of slandering countries that don't have those issues.
