imprisoned (and worse) for such crimes as blogging, listening to music, drinking alcohol, etc?

Well I don’t wish to victim blame, but….why on earth would you do any of those things when the consequences are so severe? Would you not make getting the **** out of the country and living somewhere civilised your first priority, before starting a ****ing blog?

I understand that if you're in ISIS controlled territory, escaping is putting yourself at equal risk. But this is happening in countries like Iran and Bangladesh, where there's still relative freedom of movement.

Yes, there is an argument that ISIS and the West are not that far apart in terms of us both being cultural terrorists.
