I know this is random. I live in these two countries moving bw them so I wondered.
Mostly I know what people think of each, but I did wonder if there was a difference in opinion here in a more leftist space.
Qatar as the labour exploiting oil nation?
Pakistan the third world country culturally like India with Islamic fundamentalists and terrorists etc?
PS. If you have any question about either, happy to answer.
Qatar: used slaves to do all the work, Muslim extremist to the core, no culture to speak of. Pakistan: diverse, not as Muslim extremist as people think, interesting culture.
Qatar, yep.
Pakistan, oh I’d say pretty extremist. Interesting is certainly one word to use for the culture.
Pakistan honestly hates itself put of hate for India. And I mean doesn’t care about history pre 1947 since that would be India back then. Also desperate to paint Pakistan as an Arab nation. Despite next to no connection or knowledge of the Arab world, or the language.
Culturally very similar to India but desperately trying not to.
