naseer, I generally agree. I have lived in Saudi myself, and never had a problem obeying their laws.
There is a slight difference though. The government systems by which those laws are implemented are different.
In the West, they are VOTED in by the people, per se. In Saudi, for example, they are imposed.

Never the less, if one goes to either of those countries, one is obliged to obey by their laws.

Now, people complain about what happens in France..quoting "it is a democracy which offers certain freedoms to people". Well yes, and one of those freedoms is to put laws into existence.
The people who are opposed to that law have the right to use democratic means to make their voices heard. BUT, until that law is changed, they must obey it or face the consequences.

Again , this is not possible in a country like, for example, Saudi.
