Let me make it clear.You have same rights as the muslims do living in peace in a muslim country implementing sharia.The prophet PBU urged his follwers to do that. Are you that eager to live under sharia? unfortunately there's no muslim country that implements sharia. As for your other question, I really don't understand what you are asking?

Ahmad
