acceptance of other religion in middle east

There is too much piety in the middle east region but the region refuses to accept human equality even as a principle.
1. Jews are human beings.Most majority Muslim countries are not ready to accept this simple fact in spite of science and sociology.
2. Muslims are human beings. In spite of democratic institutions and democratic pretensions,Israel is not willing to give its Arab Muslim citizens their equal rights.
3. Shias are human beings.No, how could that be? The Wahhabi autocracies disagree.
4. Sunnis are human beings. Impossible, says the Iranian theocracy and its allies.
5. Kurds are human beings.And there is uproar in Iraq, Syria, Iran and Turkey, denying their humanity.
6.Christians are human beings. Hahah, so many Muslim majorities countries make so many laws to deny Christians their equality as human beings.
7. Foreign workers from India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan ,Nepal,Bhutan, Bangladesh are human beings.The Kafala( bonded labour system in the gulf region) denies their humanity in the job contracts.
8.Then their Druze,,Bhai, Yezdi and so many other people whose humanity has not been established as yet in the region.
Along comes Trump and wants to smash down Iran with the help of Sunnies.Not a word for democracy or freedom.That is real cowardice.A practical and pragmatic rich man without any ethical commitments meets another set of practical and pragmatic rich men without any ethical commitments in order to send a strong message to yet another set of practical and pragmatic rich men without any ethical commitments.What good could come out of this kind of sheer cyncism they call practical and pragmatic?
Somebody needs to tell all these people that a bit of difference of opinion does not cancel our common humanity.In fact, it strengthen our relationship as equal human beings
