"However, Western way of life started to thrust in Muslim society. People dress like Westerners, build houses like Westerners and buu Western technology" people doing that out of their free will? just because they happen to like modern and civilized way of living better than medieval tribal barbarism? But that can't be allowed!!!!! they must be beheaded immediately!!!! "They can change clothes but they cannot change their world view and the status of women must always be subordinated to that of a man".

Finally, at least I must recognize your honesty here and you do not try to insult us with the "moderate muslim" (if anyone ever meets one, please do tell) ... about "real women's liberation" being the use of the hijab. Now we do have a small problem here, you know, we believe in all human beings being created equal and being entitled to the same rights. And we believe that with at least the same conviction and passion you reserve for your pedophile prophet. "Subordination" of fellow human beings is actually illegal in our society.
