Islam is a group think religion, it does not have consideration for personal choice. In Islamic societies, you are not suppose to consume alcohol, selling it either is not allowed. You can not even allow your neighbor to drink it. Its the whole communities sin that counts, not just individual sin.
b)Another mainstream value is, no Muslim could EVER allow non muslims to be their overseer. Offcourse, in the west it falls apart due to practicality. Muslims are not majority in the west. So, our values are somewhat different than muslims in REST of the World. If we become majority, non muslims won't be our equal. We will tolerate you as second class citizen, and we will consider it as merciful.
c)Islam has no limit to underage marriage. as long as the girl starts menustration she is a woman. It is followed by ALL muslim countries. However, in west we TRY to be practical. But if the scandal in U.K. any indication, we have not changed much.
d)Slavery and classism is still accepted by Muslims. Britain saw importation of young girls and boys from Nepal right after the earthquake.
e)muslims HATE homosexuality even in teh West. NO muslims in existance celebrates homosexuality like west. Most tolerant muslims be indifferent to it. but never accept. Most would like to kill them. See the documentary what muslims really think. First gen. absolutely hates the homosexuals, second gen. indifferent to it, third gen is starting to accpet it, but due to first gen. outnumbering the third gen, and second, gen, being indifferent, homosexuals going to get killed.
