But why should a society bend to MY little personal belief? I live in a society, and should the society's rules oversee mine, I either move or conform.

Think back to civil rights: many many people believed, close to their heart, that dark skin was not equal to light skin. Society as a whole said this belief will no longer be tolerated.

The Islamic religion is hardly a "little personal belief"!!!! That is an incredibly insulting comparison. How exactly does personally practicing ones religion and wearing modesty clothing make any society "bend"??? What about those Orthodox Jews in NY??? They have a lot of "little personal beliefs" that fly inthe face of a lot of the society in which they reside, should they be forced to toss away all their traditions or beliefs that a lot of Americans would view as odd or oppressive???
