Kinda tough to ask them to respect our values and traditions without respecting theirs.

They do not respect ours and never will so who cares if we respect theirs as a matter of fact....

Theirs does not deserve respect. It amounts to slavery for women and for the west to sit back and cow tow to it leaves our freedoms in question further down in history. So no, western women who are not muslim should not cover their heads or bow to any other islamic custom that reduces them lower than the men they are traveling with, we either believe in equality in the West or we don't (I guess Obama's roots are showing).

It is to bad there are no real western men left that truly understand that freedoms are for both sexes in that group, but hey they are dems and using their brains...not their strong suit.

Some things do not deserve respect, islamic slavery of women is way up there on the list!

You don’t travel much, do you?

When you travel to another country, even a theocracy, you respect their traditions, including their dress code.

If you can’t do that, don’t go.
Simple as that.

And, yes, I do expect them to respect our traditions.
Most do, some don’t.
But being an asshole visitor in a foreign country will only get you into trouble.
