Eighty per cent of the meat eaten in Cameroon is killed in the wild and is known as "bushmeat". The nation's favoured dishes are gorilla, chimpanzee or monkey because of their succulent and tender flesh. According to one estimate, up to 3,000 gorillas are slaughtered in southern Cameroon every year to supply an illicit but pervasive commercial demand for ape meat .The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is now widely believed to have originated in chimps. Apes are known to host other potentially deadly viruses, such as ebola, anthrax, yellow fever and other potential viruses yet to be discovered.Viruses are often transferred from ape to human through a bite, scratch or the blood of a dead ape getting into an open wound. There is a lower risk from eating cooked or smoked primates, but it is not completely safe.Aids, the worst pandemic of modern times which has claimed over 30 million lives, is thought to have begun in the rainforest of west central Africa as a result of the bush meat trade.SIV is genetically similar to HIV and, occasionally, when a chimp scratched or bit a hunter, the virus will have been passed on and may have mutated into HIV. In the distant past, when communications were poor, outbreaks of HIV would not have spread beyond the forest. But in the latter part of the last century, as the commercial exploitation of Africa gathered pace, the opportunities for viral spread increased.

I confirm that, Maghreb and Mashriq have the same social tumors.
Wrote about connection of morality and religion in Mortimer's thread about a world without religions, religious values have a restrained ambit, and the nature of islamic message make it unreformable unless pushed by political agendas.
It is a shame our societies reserve a heavier punishment for whom who eats pork compared to criminals.

The closet faggot thing is a spontaneous reaction to the rigid laws officing sexual life there, but they will never admit it, in some countries they only apply the term gay on the dominated guy in the relationship if there is one. And in more extreme cases the homosexual act performed by a heterosexual man on a weaker/younger/poorer/feminine guy is rather seen as over-manly, sometimes they even rape guys showing gay tendencies (what a savages).
Generally it is the homo-eroticism that it is seen as shameful not the sex itself, but if you got caught or rumors begin to circulate, you can be killed by your family in some atrocious ways.
In Dubai you say? well rules are meant to be applied on poor, there are even swinger bars in Saudi-Arabia for wealthy sheikhs.

If you put some ethnic and religious minorities aside, most of MENA agree that Israel is an enemy, mainly a continuation of European colonialism (i don't agree with this part), caused so many problems since 1948 and needs to be erased (throw the Jews to USA) or neutralized (making it accept a durable peace and cohabitation with neighbors.
For fact Israel doesn't have a law restricting its borders because they want to enlarge their territory evermore.
