Bigotry and stupidity are universal!

If you are a Muslim or Christian, you can't eat beef because the Hindus worship cows. That is India.
If you are not Muslim, if you carry a damaged Koran planted in your bag, you could be tried for blasphemy. That is Pakistan.
If you are a Muslim woman and get raped, you will need adult male witnesses (who watched the rape and did nothing) to testify for you or you get stoned for adultery. That is Saudi Arabia.
If you are a woman, you can't get abortion if you want to or even if your life is in danger. That is Ireland, many countries in South America and many states in the US.
If you are Buddhist or Uighur Muslim, you can't practise your own religion in peace for decades. That is China.
If you are a Rohingya Muslim, you can be a stateless citizen in a Buddhist country and be stranded on the seas. That is Burma.
If you get thrown out of your country, you have no right to return while millions are resettled in their "homeland" or you live in neo-Nazi ghettos. That is Israel.
If you belong to a minority sect of Islam, you are a blasphemer and discriminated. That is Pakistan, Iran, Libya and Syria.
If you have colonised and laid many countries to waste across the globe but complain about immigration and refugees, that is Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, USA etc.
Bigotry and stupidity are universal.
