Debunking Myths About Muslim Countries

Can you guys name me one country, Muslim

country,

where it is safe,

where there's peace out there? There is none.

I am so glad you asked because it gives me the opportunity to prove two things.

Number one, that you're wrong when you say that there isn't a Muslim

majority

country that is safe and peaceful, and number two, that this idea

that the United

States are the best at everything, this idea of American

exceptionalism, is primarily fed by ignorance.

So you may wanna grab a pencil and a piece of paper,

and let's get into it.

So you talk about peace, and there just happens to be the perfect

index for it. It's called the Global Peace Index,

and it's updated annually and

uses twenty-three indicators to calculate how peaceful a

country is. And what you'll learn if you look at that index is

that Malaysia, which

is a majority Muslim country, ranks twelfth most peaceful country in the

world. Qatar, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Oman, Morocco,

Jordan, Indonesia, and the UAE, all Muslim majority

countries, rank anywhere between number thirty-one

and number seventy-three.

Oh, and then there's the United States.

It's all the way down here at number one hundred and

thirty-four. But that's not all because our friend here

also talked about the

countries that are the most safe. So let's look at the same countries.

Qatar, Kuwait, Indonesia, and Oman all have a homicide rate that is

less than one person per a hundred thousand people.

Malaysia, Uzbekistan, the UAE, and Jordan, also Muslim majority

countries, of course, have a rate of one homicide per a hundred

thousand

people. The United States has a homicide of

six per a hundred thousand people. Oh, and we don't even need to go abroad.

We can stay here in the United States because Dearborn, Michigan and Hamtramck,

two

cities with a concentration of Muslims between forty and fifty percent, have a

homicide rate that is less than one per hundred thousand

residents.

Again, the United States is six times higher.

It's all information that's available to anyone, but you didn't look for it

because you prefer to live in the illusion that the United States is exceptional

in every possible way when knowing these numbers would give you

an

opportunity to understand where our beautiful country can get even

better and fulfill the real American dream.

And in the meantime, I guess we're gonna have to continue

dealing with the poorly

educated making videos like the one you just saw, which as a

reminder, is not the flex you think it is.
