Of course the circumstances are not the same. But, are you really suggesting that there is a full tolerance to 'other people's beliefs' in the West? Be it Europe or America. You just have a very powerful state and some other refined means of making it your way. Why does it always have to be the most extreme example? Can you imagine a person chosing openly be a muslim in middle America? Do you really claim, she/he wouldn't face any difficulties?
Where is this idea of all women in fatal danger in the Middle East' coming from ?
Your point of view is directly based on a stupid idea that %100 of those women are very unhappy to live in that way. I have a surprise for you, nope they are mostly content with it. And more, they believe it should be that way. So it's their culture, where is your tolerance to accept it that way.
And one thing, Iran is NOT Afganistan or Irak, American people. What are they teaching or telling you about this country.
