This is America! Freedom of religion is the law here!

Muslim day is fine. Excluding others or requiring Muslim dress code is where you crossed the line here. That's like you being to wear a crucifix or yalmuka or something. America welcomes Muslims and Islam but don't try to enforce Islamic law in America. We live by American law. You're free to practice your religion here, you are not free to force your religion or religious dress code on American citizens. Sorry, you'll have to go to your native country for that. It's something you will have to accept in order to live in America. Take it or leave it. No one is forced to live here.
