just to clear some things ... I don't feel offended for my religion or my country or other : I think that the first rule to apply in all the things is the respect : if I, as a traveler, am visiting a country that I don't know and whose story I know only very partially and want to speak about it the first thing I MUST do is get deeper and complete info.
Superficial impressions and opinions can have value only for superficial and conceited persons who want to appear wiser and more learned and clever than they really are, and, to avoid criticisms normally say their vision was "humorous" : very poor taste !!
My opinion is that we have, here, absolutely gratuitous sarcasm and I still don't understand why
