Muslim Conflict In Non-Muslim Cultures!

The concern currently in most EU countries about Self-identified Muslim women who chose to wear the Hijab, or Face Covering Veil, is currently experiencing uproarious responses and remarks.

Most of the Muslim women who cover their faces in public, say that it was a personal choice. And that the society at large MUST accept their choice, and allow them to express their religious faith without prejudice or coercion. Failing to recognize that they are residing in a pre-dominantly Non-Muslim country. Most of which are Christian oriented, or the majority of citizens subscribe to Christianity.

This to my mind will always be a bone of contention in countries that are not Islamic states, or does not subscribe to Islam as the majority religion or religious belief.

So if Muslims who live in Non-Muslim states truly understand the concept of "Do Unto Others As You Would Like Done Unto You." Then they MUST accept the reality of their position in that society, and comply with the laws of that state or country.

Failing to do so, shows dis-respect, non-compliance, and obstinacy!
Saudi Arabia & Other Islamic states.

Require all women to walk in the company of other women or relatives in public. They MUST also cover their heads, and wear loose fitting clothes that does not show explicitly, the female anatomy. Some women are not even allowed to drive a car, or vote in national elections. Or hold politically elected office.

And yet, most of these women residing therein do not demonstrate against the state for not allowing them to do participate in the above areas cited.

But it seems they expect to have their own way or preferences honored or respected, in a foreign country, that does not subscribe to their religious views, opinions, life style, or convictions.
