I'm sure you, and anyone, would feel safer knowing they were accepted but society makes you no such promises. And to single out Muslims specifically, as you do, is rather narrow minded considering that there are many moderate Muslims that don't share the extremists views? What next? Do you want them to wear a star (or crescent) showing that they are "sky approved"? Your goal is worthy but you seem to ignore the large number of moderates when you post.

I'm happy that you are at least recognizing choice and while we may not understand or agree with those choices, just as I don't understand people who seem to vote against themselves, we do have to at least respect the right to choose and hope that we can influence that choice as time goes on.

I'm not saying those things are equivalent, just similar. And I'd dispute your description of the bride's veil being removed for the vows, I'd suggest it's more about a transfer of property from father to husband.
