MENA vs Central Asia vs Caucasus

[ariel]

Israel is in very dangerous war zone, around live Arabs.










Absolutely true. Caucasus peoples tend to keep their native culture. For example, Abkhazians could celebrate in the same celebration, Muslims could drink wine and they don't practice boy circumcision the same thing applies to other Muslims in Caucasus. Christians don't go to churches and they celebrate Ramadan etc etc. Everything is mixed. The firstly they believe their Gods and they keep paganism more than anyone else.

Israel not dangerius at all tel aviv is safe place as well rest of israel terro attacks happens also in european cities ss well...

I would say Muslims and Christians with significant paganist elements.

Maybe like elsewhere, the pagan traditions (partly) transform to the new religion.

I want to go back to J1 homeland in Dagestan, but I've heard they are ruthless kebabs

I doubt this place is very welcoming for permanent settlements of outsiders.

AFAIK, your description best fit Abkhazians who are rather an exception. They have the paganism officially, indeed. I doubt all Muslims 'don't practice circumcision' there.
Also keeping traditions doesn't mean keeping paganism (which is a religion).

True. I often visit my grandpa in Ossetia and I see it

Do Osettians try to revive their pagan religion?

Caucasus.

an average young boy got cimcumcision in his 10-12 years or their parents even forget about it while in most Muslim countries like Turkey, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, UAE etc keep it strongly

Disagree. Traditions come from paganism, folk traditions based on paganism. You have to go to a village, you'll see some weird things like bones and skulls around house or something like that

if you kill one family member of someone, theirs come to you and kill 10 of your family members. This is the actual problem in Caucasus called vendetta

Central Asia, especially interested in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.

The Gulf.

MENA is the most interesting to visit. But to live, I'd choose Kazakhstan.
