If the only issues with Islam were female dress and halal slaughter, I would consider the whole thing a non-issue. However, Islamic theology mandates secondary status, subjugation, and official humiliation of the Dhimmi and sanctions armed violence as an acceptable way to spread the faith. A number of Islamic authorities have said that an aggressive jihad to spread Islam is ipso facto "just". That's where all of the problems with Islam arise.
