Vikings used to sack, rape and pillage all over Europe. Then they became Christians and stopped. Bedouins are devout Muslims, and also murder, sack, rape and pillage whenever the opportunity presents.
Gotta be the Jews’ fault. Thanks Eleutheria5.
You do realise the murder rate here is higher than than all middle eastern countries. The highest are south american,eastern european and southern and central african countries. I have visited Egypt, to see the pyramids, and they had nice resorts along the red sea aswell.
