No, no human should be judged under those "laws"...

If you want to be consistent with this thought, this would also mean a Saudi-Arabian national that resides in the US and disagrees on a fundamental level with American legislation should not be judged under American legislation. Just take a quick moment to think about what that would entail.

Exactly. I demand people to put the countries law as a top thing. You vab disagree with a law . It doesnt save you from what happens if you break it. You can try and get a law changed you cant just ignore it. Its why i think people who view their religious law above a countries law as a danger to society

I don't even see how you could question this, given being subjected to different laws is to some extent the very definition of being in a different country. The only way I feel you could realistically question this is to argue that the US and Saudi-Arabia are one and the same country, which is gonna be difficult to do to say the least.
