Salam! That's very interesting, how did you come to live in Iran and when were you there? How did you get along under Sharia law? A good friend of mine works as a journalist for an Iranian news organisation.

Saying a group of men are not hard on women doesn't really sound that confidence building to me. A not having someone be hard on them doesn't necessarily indicate that they have the same freedoms we enjoy.
