Forget about the way look. Can you as a free human-being say what you are thinking not matter what you are thinking without the fear of punishment?

Can a newspaper be critical of the regime and stay in business?

Do you fear the morality police?

Do you fear arrest because of your clothing?

Do you fear arrest because of who you might be related to?

Do you fear rape, torture and execution?`

Are you truely free even within the frames that you are talking about?

FREEDOM!!!

i would like to explain that it isnt all or nothing. you can allow freedom of fashion, freedom of speech and freedom of religion and freedom of assembly and still keep things like, prostitution or abortion illegal if you dont like them. you can take baby steps and legalize things in later generations through a judicial system. being able to kill doesnt count as freedom thats pretty basic. not many people want to be killed its safe to say that should be illegal.

oh god, free thinking is gone from our land. This is the sadest fact to realize about your own people. It seems Islamic government has successed to implement their intentions.

It is sad to see young people so afraid of both freedom and choice. They want to be treated like children all life long and have somebody to tell them what is good or bad. One can only develop as a human being if one can make all the choices herself or himself. One is allowed to make mistakes. That is the price to pay for being adult and mature...
