You can see exactly what's wrong with Sharia Law and any place where Radical Muslims impose it on people against their will. They are only marginally better than Talliban lunatics.
Personally the answer is simple. If you have a chance to go to a University OUTSIDE a nation run by radical Muslims... take it. Get a good degree and many doors will open to you in far more accommodating countries. You don't need him or his stories. There are plenty of men out that that would have far more to offer to you than he will.
