Exactly right, in my not very humble opinion. If you want the personal rights and freedoms modern western democracies give you, then you play by the same rules those of us who were here before you do. You accept the mores of your adopted society, you don't bring with you the rules of the culture you left. Isn't that in some sense why you left?
Dex, we would back GB in a war at the drop of a hat, when should that be left behind as a relic of the 'bad old days', so far, it basically means perpetual war (or at least untold sums spent because of 'threat of war'). By rights we should be able to declare war on GB if she is in violation in the same fashion that is being placed on Muslims in general.
Most that leave a country because of persecution still tend to settle into communities that are very similar to what was left behind. Even the original 'settlers' tended to hang onto their 'likes' and 'dislikes'. Perhaps Muslims should take a poll about being convicted in court of something before being branded as a blight on Society. The 'West' already knows Iraq should have had sanctions lifted rather than being invaded and Afghanistan never had it's day in Court. (in that they would have turned people over after proof of their involvement) That makes the death caused by those action worse because we are claiming the high moral ground at the same time committing a form of genocide. Perhaps a quick look at the last century would show how well segregating minority groups for special treatment worked out, not all that well for the minority in any of the examples to be found.
Asking Muslims for certain things while not delivering a higher standard ourselves does not carry the title more advanced, 100 years ago our women were very modestly dressed, not that unlike from Muslims, although we did have our 'redlight' districts so our 'advancement' was already spawned.
A look through the headlines over the last week/month/year/decade should allow them to be applied to Muslims, and other competing Religions. Wayward Christians (my people) are a blight on the whole Religion and we probably still have the most to do with the seedier side of life, vacations in the far east for sex with minors. If we can, and do label, people with various tags why do we never condemn any of the same things in ourselves.
As for hiding behind a veil that was to stop the fights between men over a woman, 'in the old days' there was no way to curb it and the man was more important to survival than a less strong person. Today we have punishments for those sorts of activities and if you look at the way the ' female city workers' are dressed today no 'construction crew' is going to be blowing wolf whistles. Even our liberated girls still hang a shirt over their butts on certain occasions/places.
