That's not true. Where I live and the university I go to accepts people the way they are. If Muslim girls choose to cover their heads, it's allowed. If sikh men decide to wear turbans, that's allowed too. And guess what? They even have different religious organizations for Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, etc. I want to remind you that just because a few countries or universities take away the right to express yourself religiously, doesn't mean all of them do so too. Please refrain form overgeneralizing.
i agree, not each and every western nation. like in USA and UK, a muslim can wear beard and pray in mosque much more freely than few muslim-majority nations like ukbekistan and tajikistan.
