I feel I have some experience in this area since I have studied and been exposed to it a bit.
First of all, no one should ever confuse the Muslim extremist and the ones practicing Islam and go the way of Muhammud.
Muslim extremists impose rules that better their causes, yet are not part of the actual religion. Such countries exist for power, money, greed. Such as when the Shaw of Iran was in power, he tried to better his country by trashing some of the previous laws that controlled the society.
Most of the laws pertain to the women. Why? If you give a woman a taste of freedom, she is going to fight back. She fights back and then the men become weak, or in other words, women based on their emotions can turn a stone cold man into to an understanding and responsible individual. Then Khomeni took over, well Iran became a rough state to live in at that time. Khomeni, imposed laws, supposedly based on religion and killed many people that got out of line. Its called control.
The actual practicing Moslem people are as free as christians are, with one aspect that we don't have, they are supposed to commit their entire life to Allah. Now Chrisitanity kind of does that same thing, except sins are forgiven. To be a Moslem you must be totally committed, no sin, nothing otherwise you are not a Moslem.
This is how they control the people in those countries and brainwash them into thinking we are the devil because we are sinners.
So to see a real person following the Islam ways may happen but not that often.
Government and religion do not mix
