Actually it's a yarmulka if you really want to create comparisons so try to understand that before you make those statements.

There is definitely a right to religion but your host country does not have to accept bits of culture that it considers wrong. There was a recent article (search GC if you want) talking about rapes in French immigrant culture and how they're hidden and the girls are blamed.

People can't just say culture or religion demand things anymore in Western society. They can in their original countries but only because the world is apathetic to that region and because they have power there.
