100% Muslims... no, it's not the place I want to be even a millisecond

[KostasKouvalis]

If that's not bad enough they're BLACK Muslims! Those scare me the most, honestly.

I don't know if I would visit even if it wasn't Muslim. It looks boring

[FreyaRed]

Not scary, it's just a bunch of weirdos who think they are better than everyone else

[KostasKouvalis]

Speaking of weirdos, they force feed their daughters because fat women are considered beautiful, and also, it was the last country to abolish slavery in 1980 something. And it's not camera friendly.
I know, but that's other religions too, only difference is, those won't kill you.

You live in Germany, right? I saw you writing in German

Risk of terrorism, kidnapping and malaria. Frankly I'd rather visit Latvia if I wanted to go somewhere for cheap.

[KostasKouvalis]

I dont think there's Malaria in the Sahara

[Pohjolan]

Well if you avoid the rivers and the rain season.

[Curmudgeon]

Don't they still have *slavery* going on there? Who writes these articles?

[KostasKouvalis]

It was officially abolished in the 80s, but I think in practice, they still do

Not easy on the eyes. Iknow why.. its islamic! Needs structure.

[KostasKouvalis]

Just say it's ugly😂
