Name one mostly Islamic country that isn't a humanitarian and or an economic or military disaster. I can name several that are mostly Christian and or Jewish. Thanks.

Morocco

The only ones being detained is the Yemini people working in the embassy.

Not for nothin’ but our Embassy is US soil. Any holding of hostages there is unacceptable and could be an act of war. I don’t care if it’s a Yemeni translator or porter. This requires a firm US response. And I’m expecting nothing if the sort from this senile old President.

Morocco

Nope

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people in Morocco face legal challenges. Both male and female same-sex sexual activity is illegal in Morocco.

That may be, but I would hardly call that a disaster.

It is if you’re one of them.

What is it with all of the antipatriots on the right who blame our leaders and our institutions for the actions of our enemies? And on Veteran''s Day, no less.

Covid 19 and China were unavailable for comment.

So what did Bush do in 2008 when they attacked the US embassy in Yemen and killed so many?

do those goal post ever get heavy when you move them around so much?

Islam is a religion of peace. There must be some mistake.

The US war department has been supporting Saudi Arabia’s mass murdering of Yemeni women and children for a decade. But now this story is what really inflames Americans.

WTF!

Public displays even between heterosexuals is not accepted in the Muslim world. Have you been to Morocco?

Read up on the history of Yemen.. KSA showed remarkable restraint for more than a decade.. They even pulled their towns and village back 20 kilometers from the border in 2000.

If you’re gay in Morocco you go to jail for three years. Doesn’t bother me but certainly isn’t very tolerant.

Gays tend to be invisible like they used to be in the US in the 1950-60-70s. They are after all sons and daughters, brothers etc. If they don't do it in the street and scare the horses its live and let live.

Nothing. I just like to chime in now and then.
