Living in the West, one would expect themselves to be able to exercise their freedom. And, sure, people CAN do that. But I can't. It frustrates me, and I guess that's why I am kind of blaming the country for its religious tolerance, although I know that's not so much the problem. Of course I know my dad's choice to become religious was entirely his own (and if I hadn't realised that, plenty of people here before you didn't fail to point that out). My religious family is the real problem, obviously.
A lot of people realise the UK has been too accepting. For example, someone mentioned Islamic schools. Although I've been fortunate enough to never have been near one, they clearly are a problem. The country also lets Muslims display their religious symbols in regular schools, meaning girls who are younger than 10 years old can wear their headscarves to school. If schools didn't permit this, plenty of girls might not wear the hijab in their lifetime. I mean, it's definitely possible that they could just take it off for school - I am pretty sure that's what happens in France - but there's also a possibility of things being different.
The thing is, with all the tolerance, so many Muslims have been able settle here. Now I wouldn't be complaining if my family hadn't become religious - if that were the case, I think I'd be living a decent/hypocritical moderate Muslim life - but, well, they did become religious. Had my dad not come to live in this country, I don't think his religiosity would have changed, and I could be living a religiously moderate life in Pakistan. However if I put it that way, if he didn't come here, I wouldn't have been born. These are all pointless "what ifs", I know, yet I can't help but think about it.
Also, it's kind of annoying living around all these people who identify as Muslims (who are definitely not former Muslims in the closet) but they hardly follow Islam, or they are hypocritical (even though I can't blame them). Living in the UK also means there are a lot of opportunities around, but it sucks when you can't make the most of them/you are influenced to make bad decisions.
