In the USA a man has the right to make many choices. When someone (person or government) takes away that right they are said to be interfering with the other's freedom, even if they can justify such a restriction (ie: you cannot yell fire in a crowded building).
But what if the person is never allowed to explore any other way of life except the one they grew up with? Are they really free to choose?

Samuel Crow777 said "All men above the age of reason are free to choose. All have been shown the path. "
Yes, but have they been shown the details of other possible choices or only the one path? If they know only the one path is that really a choice?

If a Christian has never experienced anything else (even if they have heard of it,) or questioned, are they truly choosing Christianity?
In the western worlds we live in, how free, in the wider social community, is a person to live in a religion like Islam?
I am curious to know where you are heading with this thinking. Although I do not know how strict such a community would be, e.g. If a Muslim turned Christian, what would the social/lawful response be.

the Sharia law protects us from the dangers of things out there such as drinking,dating,anything that can harm the body. The Sharia law does talk about the bad things out there so we are warned of what is out there and what the penalty is if we do them so if they do wrong then its on them.
If ur in a crowded place and there is fire you can! who says you cant?
Im a muslim woman and I'm able to talk freely as I like even in the Middle East and im Born and Raised in America there is more freedom in the Sharia law I would rather have a law that protects me from the bad things that are out there, then a govt that allows things to make me a bad person and to corrupt my mind.

I'm a Muslim youth and I thank Allah for blessing me with Islam. people who want to live life for the fullest and want to commit sins such as drinking,having sex....etc can never understand the choices that we do as Muslims and believers I believe that there is life after death you either go to hell or go to heaven and insha'a Allah Muslims will go to heaven but in order to, you have to Obey Allah and try not to disobey him
If this means I don't have freedom of choice then it's fine by me
P.S.:
I'm free to make my own decisions just because it's not what you choose doesn't mean that your right it means I have a brain of my own and don't follow people just because they claim they have freedom

the prophet Mohamed learned us the ruled in wars when he said :
don`t kill neither a woman , a child ,an old man ,an animal nor a priest and don`t cut a tree and don`t fire a temple

Didn't I just see this question? Except it was about the Amish and not Muslims.
