What is better for women: Western culture or Islamic culture?

Yes; although that alone does not make a country "representative of Islam".

I didn't say it did. I'm just acknowledging that this is symptomatic of an Islamic country.

Okay. And I'm just acknowledging that, just because a country happens to be the birthplace of Muhammad and to contain Islam's holiest city, doesn't necessarily mean that the country is always run in a way that is representative of Islam.

I dont think drugs sex partying drinking etc is liberating or fun..

drugs are not fun; drinking can be; the rest - generally - is

I am talking from personal experience ... are you ?

Because Saudi Arabia really is an accurate representation of what Islam means for women.

Alcohol is a drug, so if you think drinking is fun, you think drugs can be fun.

So where is an accurate representation?

I said that drinking can be fun (moderately, in a social atmosphere etc) . Not that it necessarily is.

Drugs are - usually- not fun.

I am simply extrapolating from my own experience.

But most Islamic countries criminalize homosexuality, fornication, and adultery.

So? Whats your point?

The Quran. Not a country, state or government in the current world.

So in the ways that are important, they are similar to Saudi Arabia.

I know "Islamic culture" is a broad term, but I don't think that really matters in this context.

You can't use the word 'every' when you don't know the opinion of every single Muslim. Not to mention, as I said, that there are millions upon millions of Muslims who will disagree with you. I don't understand how you can so narrow-mindedly claim that you know what Islam is and that the Middle East is definitely wrong. Saudi Arabia is a theocracy - it is run as an Islamic state. You might think they're just fundamentalists, but they're still representing what an Islamic culture can entail for women, and does in fact for many. And the truth is, Saudi isn't alone. There are many other countries raising difficulties for women that found themselves on Islamic principles: Sudan, Pakistan, Somalia, Afghanistan, the UAE - to name but a few.

Please don't resort to ad hominem and attack me by telling me that I don't know what I'm talking about. If I don't understand, then explain what you mean to me with some evidence. That is the purpose of discussion and debate. You're yet to give any example of how Islamic culture does benefit women. I'm just curious, that's all.
