Do they do the same - adapt to their actual society rules?

Western capitalism has intensified in the last decades too. Some have to work three jobs now to make it to the end of the month. Some have to rely on food stamps, because the capitalist jobs are somewhere overseas. But we have to show our happiness, our success in capitalism, so we try to dress accordingly at least - volunteerly.


Who are we to dictate their way of life? Would we accept their dictate, if they were able to conquer our soil? If they were economically strong enough to blackmail us?
If they would have some drones in our skies, to hit wherever they think a terrorist might stand next to you?

Where do you think our people turn to traditionally, ask for support and follow the offered concepts, if being massively endangered, attacked, killed, tortured, opressed and exploited - just to find some hope for a better future?

To a competitive, capitalist, corporate CEO? To pray for a rising sales index?
Wow! Are you that threatened by a simple observation that you just had to construct this gigantic straw man to avoid it?

Bottom line here is no westerner is telling Muslims how they must dress but many many Muslims have been and continue to be raped, beaten and killed for minor transgressions including not wearing fundamentalist approved clothing.
