[Gendergap] Nudity vs Islam in Western Europe

Couple thoughts:
*A  few moderate Muslim editors chiming in on some of the things we 
don't like either on Wikipedia wouldn't hurt.
*It would be nice if the most obvious of  "corruption" of liberal or 
libertarian views wasn't lascivious female nudity; but even the 
Christian Conservatives have come to adapt.
* And of course it should be recognized that most of these 
liberal/libertarian individuals and groups DO recognize that having the 
US/Europe constantly attacking Muslim countries to choose their leaders 
only increases the power and influence of the radical Muslims.
