It's scary to hear stories of religious-extremism from Iran, but it's even scarier to hear them from the US as they have immensely more power to impose their rule on others. I have no problem with religion, but please don't mix it with governance. Don't try to force everyone to live by the rules of your religion (or an arbitrary interpretation of your Holy Book). Especially not in their private lives. "Separation of religion and state" and "freedom of religion" used to be big issues, at least in Europe... These days, I don't know anymore.
