is not that I disagree with how a Muslim should or shouldn't behave, but that Muslim governed countries inflict those doctrines on non-Muslims.
"A muslim who chooses to drink alcohol is sinful; a woman who has reached puberty shows her hair, wears tight fitting clothing in public or in front of men she can marry, is sinful; the one who chooses not to fast or pray is sinful.
Anyone who disobeys such rules in Islam is eligible for punishment by the executive authority in this life and Allah in the hereafter."
As far as I know countries who are not governed by Muslim Laws do not expect Muslims to comply with THEIR way of life. It's called 'live and let live'.
I am quite certain, for example, that the Quran bans pig meat because when it was written no-one owned a freezer! Life moves on.
