The problem is that a large part of countries like Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran are governed by laws that include Sharia law and people there look down on women.

Sorry brother, I don't know which Pakistan you are talking about. It's not the one I live in.

I can proof it to you that government is controlled by United Nations Organisation in SOME shariah matters. Similarly like they interfere in almost every country's matters. But for that, chain isn't the best place.

How many times anyone witnessed in Pakistan that a theft's hands are removed? None.

Hang to death for blasphemy? None.

Then how can it be Shariah law?

I have several Pakistani friends. Several men and several women.

Hate to break it to you, some of them might be lying to you to earn your sympathy. There r humans all around the world who blame their problems on others.

the situation in Pakistan is good

If u can join me on discord, then we can have the real talk.

such countries are governed by religion

Some small villages maybe, but majors cities I bet not. Willing to beat all my marbles. You want alcohol, prostitute, beer, wanna wear a cross..... Whatever u want, Karachi city isn't like how you imagine it. There r more kingfisher on streets then u can count. If this was governed as u explained to me, then it wouldn't be like the way I am explaining it back to you.

Either you live in Pakistan or I live in a different dimension.

Oh, not even going in depth of public meetings of atheists and their clubs in Karachi.

I request you to re-evaluate your sources of information.
