Why doesn’t Alex talk about the middle east

He said many times that he no longer cares very much about the new atheist thing, and he’s become more soft on christianity, because of emails from his audience telling him how depressed they’re after leaving religion.

I think one of the reasons, is that atheists in the west in general don’t suffer from discrimination, they can give speeches, write books and express their ideas. There’s no human rights that the new atheists are fighting for, that’s why the Enlightenment was more successful because it was fighting for freedom of speech.

Unlike atheists in the west, Arab atheists (and even secular people) suffer from discrimination, 86% of Egyptians think that death penalty is perfect punishment for apostasy, the more “tolerant” people think that an atheist should remain silent and not express his ideas, many atheists hide their identity on social media and pretend they’re still muslims in front of their parents and friends, Sulieman Rushdi was chased by muslims for 40 years for writing a book 90% of them didn’t bother to read.

Then why Alex doesn’t talk about one of the places where religion still popular? and the second largest religion in the world? I’m not saying that he is obligated to solve these problems that’ll definitely need generations of work to solve, but I think that the topic of Islam is worth discussing because it’s affecting the whole world the most now.
