I'm the poster being responded to and I agree with PP. A Muslim, nobody else, first mentioned the supposed link between Western women, promiscuity, STDs and teen pregnancy.[/quote]

PS, Muslim PP is free to judge my wardrobe! I too doubt that many here would find it provocative, yet a Muslim here already put me at risk of STDs just because I live in a culture without veils.

That's how it works! You privately and publicly condemn all of us for promiscuity. You can't turn around and demand that we rid our minds of all negative thoughts about the veil, either privately or on what we post here. The religious angle gives no special protection.[/quote]

The wonderful thing about this country is that I am free to practice my religion and to dress in miniskirts and high heels, or to dress in hijab.  I can go to any public place dressed like that, I can work in many places dressed like that.  I can judge and be judged and do the same for others, [b]without bringing the government into it.

Well, not directly, but all things being equal between two candidates, one practices your religion, and one practices a different or no religion, who would you vote for? [b]Between a Muslim politician and an atheist politician, who is more likely to push for implementation of Sharia law. [/b]How do you think the word "under God" got into the pledge of allegiance, or "In God We Trust" onto the US currency. Sure the US has implemented one of the most effective separations of church and state, but lets not be naive and think that private practice of religion has no effect on the affairs of the government. The government as an entity exists only as a collection of individuals who have agreed to behave in a certain way as a collective. [/quote]

Please drop this line of argument.  It is a complete red herring to say that Muslims in the US want to implement Sharia law here.  You can look at the Pew surveys that show the majority of Muslims in countries where they dominate do not want to implement Sharia law in their own countries.

(A major exception is for matters of civil status where Muslims follow Sharia law and Christians use church law--this is the status quo in virtually all the majority Muslim countries.)[/quote]
