"People can choose to live their lives how they wish".  Not in Iran (ask the youth), or many other Muslim countries.  And you are misinformed about how women's sexuality (specifically their ability to have sex with whomever and whenever they want) is viewed and treated in Muslim countries compared with the West, it's not even close.  The Quran, like the Bible was, is irrelevant to the theocratic rulers - but the "special" treatment accorded Muslim women (they can't even worship with the men, can't go to Haj) is obviously not a big deal to you.
