That because the whole portion of that area of the earth is mainly inhabited by the most hypocritical religious group in modern times. Did you expect a bunch of logic, reasoning, tolerance and understanding ?
The Guardian is authwalled. To summarize:
An engaged couple, who were popular on Instagram, posted a video of themselves dancing together in public, and the woman did not have a head covering. Dancing in public is forbidden. A woman dancing with a man in public is especially forbidden. The woman not covering her head in public is forbidden. Oh, and they did this dance in front of a national landmark which is a symbol of the regime and whose designer lives in exile because his religion is forbidden. The name of the landmark? The Freedom (Azadi) Tower, of course.
The couple was convicted without access to lawyers and bail was denied. The charges were “encouraging corruption and public prostitution” and “gathering with the intention of disrupting national security”.
The woman was sent to Iran's squalid, overcrowded prison for women. >

What a piece of shit regime. This is no way to live. I hope the people of Iran overthrow them and charge them with every death and abuse under their watch. Enjoy 4000 years in prison, fuckers. >

If the people of Iran overthrow the government there will be no prison time for anyone. >

There's got to be times if you're running a theocracy when you must think, "What the fuck are we doing?" >

I'll go out on a limb and say they probably don't have a second thought about any of the crazy shit they do. >

No, they do. They think "this is awesome!" 
Look at DeSantis. He's an intelligent man. He's charging teachers with felonies for teaching students that gay people exist because he likes it. Running a dictatorial regime is fun for him. >

You mean the guy who oversaw torture at Gitmo enjoys hurting people? Whoddathunkit? >

10 Years in prison for expressing love and joy. It's amazing how primitive those religious zealots can be.
I don't want to, but I can't help hating the scumbags in power in Iran. >

Tehran: sounds like a great place to not live. >

If you're interested in not living, the Iranian government can help you with that! >

Crap like this is why the world needs to stop treating religion as some thing you can’t criticize. Fuck every part of this. These people are losing an entire decade of their lives, simply for having fun, because some religious piece of shit says so. >

🎶Everybody cut footloose🎶 >

Straight to jail. >

Ridiculous. 10 years for daring to be joyous. What a way to run a country. >

There is no god here.. religion is a cancer used by powerful men to manipulate the masses. >

These cultures hate women. >

Men dance only with men. Women dance only with women. Yet, you don't hear about gay pride parades in the Arab world.
