As I was reading comments about other similar questions, it dawned on me that no one really knows whats going on. So for clarification, the government is like a dictatorship. No one in that country is currently happy with the govenrnment. They want it to be gone, but are afraid to do so because the consequences would be being killed or put in jail. The women don't want to wear the hijabs, but are forced to due to the country's law. There are police standing at every corner that will harass women (yes the police are women too) because of the slightest flaw (or made up flaw) and throw them in jail. Some stay there for days and no one in the family is alerted what happened to their family member. Others in jail are sometimes sold as slaves in Dubai, from the rumors I have heard. Their are only 8 T.V. channels in the country, with the majority advertising the religious values (which obviously no one watches or wants). People illegally have satellites that pick up signals from other countries just to have enjoyment. Let's just say that if the government finds out bad things will happen because obviously they don't want western influences, but hypocrtitically street and store signs are in English. The malls there have women's clothing similar to the fashionable ones in the U.S., as over there it is influenced by Europe. To top it all off, the government taps into emails and phone calls and if anything putting down the government is heard, once again bad things will happen. So there is no freedom there and when you hear about the lifestyle there on the T.V. don't think anyone wants it, in fact everyone despises it.
