    Solving Japanese gender disparities isn’t going to help them with the lack of Islamic burial plots, Halal food, and places to pray.

    That’s a little bit bigger of a problem than “cultural differences”.

      What? Migrant communities bring their food, culture, and religion with them, they don’t wait for the foreign country to set it up for them…

        If you’re talking burial plots, that’s not something you can bring with you. As an island state, Japanese real estate is at a premium.

          No, that’s literally the only one I left out because it’s too complicated to gloss over in passing.

          But yes, if it were not complicated, if Japan had a culture of burying their dead in large cemeteries, Muslim communities would still have to found their own religious cemeteries, the host country isn’t going to prepare it for them ahead of time.

          Lack of availability of halal food in Japan is not a “problem” to fix, they’ve eaten their food forever. Eventually as the communities that require halal food continue to grow, you’ll see more and more halal food.

          Gender disparity is a problem that needs fixing.
