Great quiz! Strange that Nigeria has the second most violent persecution of Christians considering half the country is Christian.

I was really surprised about that too, I guess it just depends on the region of Nigeria

Northern Nigeria is under Sharia law. Sadly, targeted mass killings of Christians there don't seem to get the attention in the west that they should. Boko Haram is a serious problem.

JetPunk is a Western site. YouTube is a Western site. Facebook and most other social media websites are Western sites. Kinda hard to avoid Western sites on the internet.

And, like it or not, persecution of minorities is a very real problem in conservative Muslim countries. Does Shariah law say anything about persecuting Christians? I honestly don't know enough to answer that. I do know that conservative Muslim societies tend both to follow Shariah law strictly and persecute Christians, so even if it isn't causation, it is correlation.

Level 74

Sharia Law doesn't specifically mention Christians, but it does justify the killing of non-Muslims in many cases which is perhaps the aspect of Sharia Law he was referring to. For those who don't know, Sharia Law is basically taking the teachings of the Koran and applying them as the legal and administrative basis for a region.

Yeah, I thought that was strange but I suppose if you focus on the northern, Muslim-majority part of Nigeria that might make sense. What confuses me more that the source says Colombia, a country where Catholicism is dominant, is the 6th most violent country for Christians. I'm guessing that maybe it has something to do with Protestants being persecuted? But I also know nothing about religion in Colombia so if anyone has an explanation please let me know.

As far as I can tell it's not sectarian. It's criminal groups who don't like christian messages which oppose their criminal activities.

Greatest human exposure to air pollution - I'm assuming that's on a percentage basis, with Qatar on the list, but China not.

Somehow I got stuck thinking all the answers needed to be an african country. I did get unstuck, but nearly got stuck again. Wasted too much time by then. Still managed to get all but 4 but could have done better.

Edit: all of which btw did have atleast one african answer, but had lost too much time allready. Not the first time this happened in a quiz like this, getting stuck thinking it has to meet certain extra requirements it actually doesn't.

Good quiz

Is Italy correct for having a capital with a higher urban area population than Egypt? Not sure what the source is but it doesn't seem right.

No, that's wrong of course. Should have been India.

I was kind of disappointed when Tokyo worked for "capital with the highest urban area population". It's supposed to be a "Name the country" quiz... (Yes, I'm complaining about a freebie. I prefer earning my right answers, whether than them being handed to me.)

We accept Tokyo because many people think those questions are looking for the city, not the country

ARGH! I thought the Libya flag was under 33% black because the middle section has the Islamic moon and star, but the area of the middle is slightly larger than other flags.

Level 33

May 27, 2021

there is nothing called "Islamic moon". There is a huge misconception that the star and moon are related by any means to Islam and that totally wrong. Yes, most of flag that has moon and star are from Muslim countries but in fact it's not related to Islam. There is nothing mentioned in Islam or Islamic scriptures regarding taking the moon as a holy symbol. Saudi Arabia "Hijaz region" which is the region of the birthplace of Islam, they do not have any moon in their flag, also all countries of Arabian peninsula. North African countries developed the moon and star taken from the ottoman "Turkish" when they were colonized by them because the Ottomans developed the moon and star as they national symbol.
