There lies the problem. Notions of common sense and good and bad can vary greatly depending how deeply entrenched you are into Christianity/Islam. Many Muslims find women's rights to be offensive enough that if a women were to walk down a street in Saudi Arabia in a tank top they would be stoned by the populace.

A Christian sense of common sense and right and wrong would find that criminal, while the much more socially conservative Muslim ideals would have little problem with it.

This is where my worries stem from.
