There should be more protest at their policies like extra taxes based on religion, disallowing church building, etc. But we shouldn't sink to their level and try to impose similar policies ourselves. Why should we allow them to maintain a double standard. Imposing a similar double standard here, would not mean we get to avoid allowing them to maintain a double standard. Actually trying to force them to drop the double standard would involved some rather questionable policies. Economic sanctions, probably would not be joined in by the rest of the world, and would tend to tilt more of the Arab people and governments against us, while being ineffective. Invasion would be rather costly to say the least. Bombing one country until it caves, and then threatening the next? Well I suppose you could do that but you would have to kill a lot of people to force change. We allow a double standard because its their country, and they get to make the rules there. Also because trying to not allow it probably either won't work, or will cause tremendous harm, or both.
