    Nice to hear.

    But you are right that I did not go to any of those countries mentioned. But there are many more Islamic/Muslim countries than those you mentioned. Looking at every Islamic country through the lense of Saudi, Iraq and Kuwait might be a generalization too far.

        I like how you assumed that we're generalising there.

        So because you've lived in an Islamic country and had a nice experience then all Islamic countries must be nice?

        See? Works both ways!

        Ok, now regale us with tales of how you visited the poor of that country and redistributed some of your wealth.

          No. Also I have not said that all Islamic places are nice.

          Why? Should I feel some sort of obligation to justify any of my actions or inactions to you?
          If so, I am sorry because I do not feel that that obligation.

                "do" should be replaced with "do not" . But I think you got that.
