No. The difference is that a man that lives in England can stand up in a public square and scream "I do not believe in God! Down with God! Down with God!" and you will harbor every right and protection under law. Christians will not raise up to destroy you. Your rights will not be violated and your life will not be in jeopardy. Your freedom is LAW. A man that travels to Palestine, stands up in a square and screams "Down with God! Down with God!" will be attacked, murdered, and his murderers praised publicly by government officials as heroes.

Here, those that blow up birth control centers and sports events (no matter what the reason) are breaking the law, outlawed and pursued by police for justice. Those that do so in the some countries of the ME are praised as heroes. That is the difference.

If you need proof take a trip to New York, stand up in a busy corner and scream out such a thing to see the reaction. Next travel to Palestine to find a busy street corner and try the same. I doubt you will get the same docile reaction. If you could not see the difference before you'ld would soon enough.

EDIT for wording.
