yes to be honest I should not post the original post, I still need go there for business trips, it's likely they can track me down and deny my visa if they want to, you don't know how powerful and bad they could be, it's lawless there when it comes to individuals. it's a shame, period.
Western countries have in fact denied visas to foreigners who publicly hold "inappropriate" views. Visiting a foreign country is considered a privilege not a right, so it's not something where there's much if any concern about supposed "rights".
