There's no reason to question Muslim women following their own customs in a western country. Leave them alone rather than "speaking out" so much. Those women will advance when they are ready. Why be so concerned? No one forces western women to do anything they don't want just because there are Muslims living around. It is not a genuine concern. Catholics who immigrated earlier were able to live amongst the previous Americans. They did not follow the Pope first, take over the government, and force everyone to be Catholic. Only bigots wanted them gone. The bigots sound the same no matter who the new group is. Always they are "too different" will "take over" and "won't assimilate" and always they do assimilate, contribute to the culture while changing theirs some, don't "take over" and are able to live and let live.
