I don't think you grew up in reality that the majority of population face. Your experience is vastly different from the common folk.

> Muslims want the Sharia law and all the other Islamic stuffs including hijab

It's a shame you don't respect women's choices about that (ask Iranians living under Islamic regime) and generally support oppressive system but I guess this is in everyone's conscience.

If not, it's a bit presumptuous to be telling someone who has grown up there that you know better than them what their country is like.

I have never lived in USSR but I have enough knowledge to dismiss some misleading claims, even if they are coming from people who lived there.
