My friend Amin, regardless of whether I agree or not, Muslims in majority Muslim countries ALREADY DO dictate to non muslims as to their dress codes. Are you unaware of the extremely strict dress code restrictions that western women MUST adhere to in such countries as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain et al. And it is not just dress codes, there are laws governing women driving cars, women smoking in public etc. Forgive me, but that tends to kick the chuckies of your argument. Next?
