    Iran is a primitive society based on superstition and where 1500 year old barbaric laws

    Let me choose the most modern laws where you get death sentence by a white cop because you are black. Or the laws that looks at a genocide and then decide to send more weapon to the one who is committing the genocide killing at least 70k people mostly women and children that you pretend to care about.

    You can disagree with laws, but claiming they are “primitive” and “barbaric laws” is a stupid, racist, and ignorant statement.

      Nah, you had a point until your last statement. What is barbarism if not the unjustified killing of a person based on their skin color? The only thing the original comment was missing is that we still hard that same primitve barbaric system, weve just restricted the worst of it to the lower class and minorities.

      USA is absolutely an extremely violent and racist country, and both those aspects are obviously primitive. How else would you judge that?
      USA also isn’t governed by “modern” laws, if you want to see modern laws in practice look at the Scandinavian countries.

      Notice that I also write that other countries with Sharia law are primitive, the same goes for laws based on other religions like Christianity, and obviously the same also goes for practices based on racism.

      USA is widely considered primitive in many ways in Europe.

      You can disagree with laws, but claiming they are “primitive” and “barbaric laws” is a stupid, racist, and ignorant statement.

      You are so so wrong, for instance the death penalty is for sure a primitive law that modern political and humanist sciences have clearly abolished because it’s immoral, and is against human rights, and for those reasons also illegal in EU.

      USA is also in many ways a primitive society, not entirely unlike Iran. Extreme regulation against abortion that can cause the death of pregnant women, a dysfunctional democracy, extreme violence, harassment of minorities and homeless, and a shorter life expectancy than other western democracies, even democracies that are less than half as wealthy as USA. USA also has the bigger portion of its population in prison by far compared to any other country in the world.

      All signs of a society that is morally and mentally is caught in the past, and has refrained from introducing improvements that are common in other countries that USA used to be ahead of.
