In that case, Muslims should behave according to how God tells them to in the Qur’ân. From…

independent legal status, then in a society which revolves around religion, women should have the same rights as men. They should also be given the freedom to make their own decisions pertaining to most issues (Islam Oppresses Women).

accommodate Muslims well? Hate crimes directed at Muslims in America occur on a regular basis, when only a small percentage of them are extremists. Without completely setting aside the treatment of Muslims, focus in on the accommodations America has made for Muslims.
