I think it's important to concentrate on U.S law because we're so closely linked with it. U.S is a Western country with supposedly Western values.

Laws in the Middle East are despicable for many, I don't think anyone will dispute that, but their values are so far removed from ours. Comparatively, and unfortunately, America is not that far away from us. Looking at the U.S is always wise because sometimes it can be an indicator of where the UK goes next. Iran is not.

I know you're only suggesting to talk about Iran because you believe liberals are scared of talking about the awful atrocities that often comes with Islamic regimes (I for one am not) but it happens so often on this site by a select few that instead some of you just come across like you're only interested in talking about the awful crimes committed by brown people.

Whenever conversation turns to horrific crimes that happens to be done by a white westerner, someone will pipe up with "how come you're not talking about what muslims are doing?"

No I didnt say that, I said the poster only ever concentrates on US stories and not other countries which have even more horiffic ways of dealing with women, all I was saying is its a bit rich to be talking about womens rights while supporting an Iranian regime, I will talk about crimes committed against women by anyone of any colour, so please dont paint me with that crime, I am not the one with an Iranian supporting avatar, dont tell you you dont think that is not hypocritical?
