I'd expect someone living in the Middle East to think they can tell someone else what they are or aren't "allowed" to talk about. That's not how it works in America or on things created by Americans though.
The "you've never visited here so you can't know anything" logic is absolutely terrible. No one in this thread lived in Nazi Germany and I'm pretty sure almost everyone can give a pretty good description of what conditions were like, having assumed they've taken a World History class or studied up for an hour on the internet.
I don't need to live in Syria to see how my country is being affected or to know about the thousands of innocent people being killed.

There are many things you can and can't say in America; freedom is so subjective, and quite frankly Americans have been falsely selling & narrowing the application of "freedom" for hundreds of years that many have lost sight of reality in favor of obsessively upholding this supposed (pun intended) trump card; in fact, the skewing of "freedom" to represent anyone with money, who is handsome, happy, born in a particular family, fits popular opinion, doesn't have ideals, etc. is in effect the most oppressive regime of all—however, it lets people call each other pieces of **** & take their clothes in public, so people blindly accept this as a token of "supremacy".
Frankly, what a lot of people call freedom is actually chaos; capitalism is another term for bigoted, economic, evil chaos where people are subdued by materialism, and not by love. You can talk all day about marriage, but frankly many go to the grave having been used a hundred times by liars and adulterers if they haven't been forced to turn to porn, suicide, or loneliness; and yet, people call this freedom. Many people say, "We all have sexual needs and that's why being a **** is so freeing." In other countries, they say, "We all have emotional & sexual needs, and that's why we do not objectify our appearances or bank accounts, and expect everyone to have a partner and stay with them for life."
Frankly there is more oppression in the chaos of American rivalry, free-for-all & rape-by-deceptions along with being bombarded by unfulfilled temptations on a daily basis that the notion Americans are free is utterly ludicrous. And being free to say something is so subjective here as mentioned; it has to be "at the right time and place"—and quite frankly the economics here are so flawed that the "right time and place" (which is what love is) is constantly being manipulated by those with power over those without—because we are social beings, subject to leading & following (love)—not just self-centered objects.
Americans & other consumers have falsely been indoctrinated into an obsession with chaos, rivalry, and temptation calling itself liberation; but really, freedom can be applied to anything. Especially if your livelihood is on the line here, there are many fashions, styles, words, behaviors, and people you will have to put up with to achieve acceptance—and it changes like the wind here for no reason other than vanity's wallets running the show; the liberation of temptation & vane expressions is the imprisonment of the soul & spiritual prosperity. Alas, the sales pitch of American "freedom" is being sold by the government airwaves, public schooling, military, and sheep; the common response by them when you disagree is, "Don't like!?! LEAAAVE!!!!!" That's not freedom of love; that is the lack thereof—and it is materialistic, wicked liberation having nothing to do with ethical prosperity & the oiling of the machine of humanity & its needs.
We fight for our survival here, and that isn't freedom—especially when money is hoarded and passed around between bloodlines; America is more of a hazy chaotic competition where the most ruthless survive; in truth, "survival the fittest" is really not even a good definition of evolution, so anyone assuming this basis is flawed. "Survival the most adaptable" is a clearer description, and given the confinement of capitalism, it is nothing but one giant marketplace of sales pitches where the swindlers, sIuts and liars are the most adaptable because they have no integrity and will compete for every last useless penny; thus, the middle east will never match American arrogance, but most of our opinions are propaganda to keep you believing in the masquerade.
