    Not discounting how awful this incident is, but WTF are you on about? Do you think this is somehow representative of your average journey to a Middle Eastern country? Which one are you even talking about? There are a dozen different countries in the Middle East with different cultures and political climates.

      Name one country in the middle East that doesn’t have deliberately sexist laws and or bonded labour /slavery. I’ll wait.

        Not the OP here, and I do not disagree with you in general, but I feel that Kazakhstan seems a cool place, the other Turkish countries seem “visitable” as well. The big problem is all these countries with sharia law or with a big influence of sharia defenders, and it is not only Middle East but a lot of saarian countries too.

        To avoid? As a middle eastern living in middle east: all of them plus every other country in 2000km vicinity.

          Yeah I worked with a couple of Syrians a while back and that was pretty much how they felt.
