Saudi Arabia is attempting to reassure LGBTQ+ visitors ahead of hosting the 2034 World Cup, even though homosexuality remains criminalised.
Wow it’s almost as if you remove two cities from the US you get MAJOR changes in homicides. You also aren’t comparing the population differences.
Sure the US has a higher rate, it is also a huge land mass with 300,000,000 people. Middle Eastern countries are only larger than some US states. Drop New York, California and Chicago and again the rates free fall.
America is so safe our biggest threat is too much food.
Homicide rate is relative to the population size. America is 6x times more violent than most Middle Eastern countries, that is a fact. Over 30,000 people die every year to homicides, pretty fucking pathetic for the so-called “#1 country in the world.” The USA is just Mexico 2.0.
