Iran is fucked. They stone chicks for getting raped for Christ sakes. I was in Saudi once for a beheading and that shit is just fuckin nasty. If your white they actually push you to the front so you as an infidel can see.

As for Max knowing better, it shouldn't even be the issue. He shouldn't even have to worry about what Jimmy Anal in Tight Ass Alabama thinks because they shouldn't be watching his movies if they don't like it in the first place.
Like him or not, I'm glad he's got the balls to push the envelope of personal choice. It's not like the chicks don't know what they are getting in to. As long as nothing is forced, and everything is consensual, then what the hell should the Gov, have to do with it? Nothing.
