So there is no moral difference between Western and Muslim law, especially 
in regards to status and treatment of women?

Yes, most certainly!

Western law is our business.
Muslim law is theirs.

[Platt]
A good argument for defending individual freedom from cultures that smother 
it.

[Krimel]
It is also a good argument for recognizing the Values of cultures that allow
individuals to express their freedom in way that may or may not make sense
from our point of view.
It is also a good argument for protecting endangered species and preserving
natural environments.
