Well, it is a horror. How would you like to be required to participate in Muslim services? -— to ask the obvious.

I like it. Tell her to convert, pay a tax, or get your head chopped off. Repeat anytime a muslim gets out of line.

She demanded to go to Friday prayers, or she would sue.
The cops complied.
