my super-ignorant American take:
Pakistan, really really hates India. I hope it can be healed but I don't know enough to dare saying how. Poor but admirable aspirations at space exploration. Zealous about parenting and proud of their culture. Probably more similar to my own background than a lot of people would feel comfortable admitting.
Qatar, rich from oil deals with America. Corrupt but it's our fault for lavishing them while we raped the rest of the middle east for plunder. Intolerant but could probably be won over to be less outwardly hateful of new ideas since they've tasted wealth and desire to join the international community. The things that their religion makes them hate tend to be things that most other Abrahamic religions also hate, which could be grounds for friendship? I don't think it works like that but it's fun to joke.
Americans are pretty racist but these two nationalities get less hate than others. Or would if American's bothered to learn the difference. Most of us can't point to Qatar on a map. I hope this was amusing to read.
Yeah Pakistan defines itself in large part by its hate for India. Dont see any improvements either in the next decade or two anyways. Don't really care about space exploration honestly.
Yes family is everything here. Not always in a good way.
Qatar you're mostly right about too. Don't think people from other abrahamic religions would agree with the intensity of the average Muslim. Most Christian societies at this point are not as intense in my eys anyways. But I do think a lot of morality is shared bw them.
Good to read. Thanks
India really, really hates Pakistan. They keep attacking it.
that too
