Tragic..
The oppression and outright terrorism of women by extremist regimes is tragic beyond belief....that such horrific actions have been and continue to be supported by the United States through trade policies, aid and military support that turn a blind eye to the terrorism practiced by moral police, human rights deprivation, honor killings, etc. is a blooded stain on the ideal of teaching, preaching democracy. Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Iraq - Allies and Friends of the Leaders in Freedom - Iran has fine examples to follow indeed....

Re: this happens in Christian Churches
It's not even close to being the same......this is a theocracy....their government enforcing this!

You know the thing you rant and rave about so much....but it's different for you isn't it?  You wouldn't be bashing something Christian or American........

Big difference...I could go to church naked and as a Christian still come out alive unlike those in Iran for God's sake...

this happens in Christian Churches
I have experienced it.

dress and hair codes.  women having to go to church with a head covering.

these Christian denominations are just as strict as are Moslems.

and men and women react the same.  -- will address a violator in a similar manner.

we have to ask questions then:

"Is it faith?  Or is it fanaticism?"

And would you deny good Christians the right to enforce their faith among their congregations?

when there is a difference between faiths, where one's restrictions are too severe in relation to another's, then maybe there is cause for criticism.  As it stands, there is not.
