I think that is generally a very fair and balanced presentation of some of the issues surrounding Muslims in Europe. However, I don't think that most Muslim women really choose to be subjugated. The fact that some young women who have decided to assimilate and are murdered in honor killings is a strong suggestion that Muslim women live in fear if they question anything about their proper role.

I think Muslim girls in Europe should be required to attend school, for example, including high school, and that performing a clitordectomy should be a serious felony. If they are living in Europe, they need to follow the laws of the country they are living in. But on a more pessimistic note, I think Europe and Muslims are like oil and water. I don't think you will ever be able to stir fast enough or well enough to assimilate them.
