Benhur Sahin, since you asked, (and I don't appreciate you judging me, as you don't know me or what I know about anything), I will tell you what makes me more free.

First of all, my country's Constitution, Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights, not Shari'a Law. Next - I have the right to question authority, disagree with it, choose my own path in life, dress myself as I choose, drive a car, vote, have the education of my choice, remain single or marry, be heterosexual or gay, not have a female genital mutilation forced upon me, to have a professional career, to have relationships of my own choosing without being murdered for having them, I have equal rights in a court of law....I can go on and on as to why I'm free and people living in Muslim nations are not. Read enough?
