They are rich. Also the big/tribal family structure causes them to be very morally responsible because they care a lot about their image/reputation as a whole.
@SW-User Yah, you're right. Huuuuuge money at the very tip top (way more than the other countries) , and then a wide variety of people from rich to middle to poor to beggars.
I suspect it just doesn't get reported. All reporters other than Al Jazeera are excluded in those societies. And Al Jazeera is closely watched so they cow toe around sensitive areas.
Always wondered why BBC rarely says anything negative about those countries in those countries! Only outside of them.
@DeWayfarer now we are talking about science?🤔 our main subject was how the crime rate of United Arab Emirates is low But you suddenly decided to jump to freedom of speech then science?😂 No matter how much you try to deny it, United Arab Emirates has low crime and is a safe country. Dubai is a very safe advanced and a beautiful tourist city and so is the country in general. No point in continuing this, have a good day
Countries like uae ,Kuwait ,Saudi Arabia ,Qatar In the gulf in general actually do have low crime rate Especially United Arab Emirates In dubai You can leave your home door open with no fear And as a woman walk at midnight like it’s day
@Moon3624 I noticed that on the you tube vids I saw about everyday life there. Don't roll a joint in public either.
But in Pakistan and India, women/kids get abused/neglected in shocking ways and often no justice thereafter.
In countries the USA has whacked out militarily in recent times, there are shocking (and totally understandable) levels of self hatred and personal despair. Then the housecat might get neglected. See what I mean? And family members might hurt one another and make excuses for themselves...
Look deeper. Compassion required most in places where it seems least necessary.
China is rising and proud of itself. Might swallow the USA soon And they beat their stray dogs to death and then people eat them in restaurants
@Elevatorpitches what does Pakistan and India and everything you said have to do with my comment 😂 I literally don’t understand the point of your reply to my comment
No one knows the true crime stats, but they do seem quite safe. I have walked the city streets late at night in 3 Middle East countries without fear. (But no different than the vast majority of places in the U.S., where I also walk streets at night without fear.)
There are some things people outside these places don't know. For example, most serious crime by the nationals/citizens is dealt with by tribal means, or by tribal influence within the government systems.
Might be true. And on a deeper level, these places have had the heart whacked out of them so much through the centuries that people know better on a personal level how to behave.
In America (usa) as times are getting waaaay harder and more cruel, the personal crime figures are dropping steadily, even now, with some exceptions re: murder (and mass shootings)
But u know its a "thing" I perceive. People get scared of the truth and don't personally wanna add to the big picture, if its getting uglier.
My take anyway.
Thank you AGAIN Danser. See SWeeps its not so much about being "right" as long as we can try to show LOVE...
@wildbill83 Thousands of debtors are arrested and jailed each year in America because they owe money. Literally that happens in every country😂 And actually a lot of people here do forgive for debts and people in society even help and the government itself chips in. Not only United Arab Emirates But even Saudi Arabia I’ll give one example , Saudi Arabia launched another platform for charity Called “ehsan” One of the charity options is to donate to the people in debt And they give you the situation of every person so you can donate This is what the site looks like :
This platform helped a lot of people , in Ramadan a man with kids went to jail with the debt of 5 million The Saudi community all chipped in And within 2 days they managed to gather the 5 million and he was released to his family.
Not only that but even in the religion of Islam it’s encouraged to forgive and help with debt Quoting from the Quran : {Who spend [in the cause of Allah] during ease and hardship and who restrain anger and who pardon the people - and Allah loves the doers of good;} 3:134 {o forgive graciously.}18:85 {so whoever forgives and makes amends, so his reward is upon Allah; }
Im not saying gulf countries are perfect. No country in this world is perfect every country has pros and cons. But definitely gulf countries have been advancing and have so much beauty in them I don’t get why you just can’t accept that “some” of them especially United Arab Emirates are very safe and have low crime. That’s proven when it comes to statics
@wildbill83 + countries like United Arab Emirates and Saudi have free health care + free education including university. Not only that but University Students in Saudi (I believe uae too) receive monthly allowance from the government while usa students are drowned in student debt after college/uni. And if you look at the data on google actually usa has most debtors
@Beatbox34 in any country breaking the law leads to punishment. Every country has it own laws and must be followed. Islam doesn’t prohibit women from driving but Saudi because of “culture” didn’t allow it and then realized their mistake and allowed it. Women driving is allowed in Saudi Arabia for years now.
@SW-User It's rare in Saudi. They chop heads on a regular basis, but body parts no. The chopping stuff is usually for foreigners, as well. (Big turnouts to watch the beheadings, too. Entertainment in KSA.)
I disagree that it's due to Draconian and harsh punishments. Finland and Iceland have low crime rates too, yet their justice system is quite mild compared to the rest of Europe and the US.
@danser that's irrelevant to my point. My point is we can't say crime is necessarily low in gulf countries due to Draconian measures.
Lots of factors affect crime, poverty for example is a huge cause of crime and we can see this for example in Eastern Europe that's poor, high on crime and is not Muslim in the vast majority of cases.
I agree with you a lot of factors play a role in this But haters don’t want to accept any achievements coming from Muslim/Arabic countries😂 especially how advanced the gulf countries have started to become Lately. They want people to always have the negative hatred picture of the Middle East @basilfawlty89
I think that the punishment being excessive may have something to do with the low crime. I mean, getting 4 fingers or a whole hand chopped off would be a pretty good deterrent. Being stoned to death, being beheaded. Being hanged. We have stupid laws, possession of drugs, doesn't matter if it is a small amount or half a kilo, there is mandatory sentencing designed to combat the "drug war". If someone destroys a wall with graffiti, they get a small fine, do the same thing in Singapore and you get caned, a public flogging. There isn't much graffiti in Singapore. In some ways, we could learn a lesson from these countries.
In usa hanging, electrocution, the gas chamber, firing squad, and lethal injection. @littlepuppywantanewlife What about that? 🤔 In Saudi it’s by sword fast and swift No torture like electrocution for example. By stones that’s rare
@Stereoguy sorry I misunderstood your comment , I thought you said they don’t have crime because they don’t document it. I agree arabic gulf countries have low crime rate because they don’t tolerate criminals
