Because they're human beings who live in your country and deserve all the same respect and dignity of non-Muslims.
Fortunately, you don't have to force anyone to do that to cater to Muslims. You just need to hold off on the impulse to harass and brutalize them for having a different flavor of "Trad Wife" conservative culture than Christians and Jews, whom we appear to have no trouble pandering towards.
It's for the same reason we don't criminalize being a Hasidic Jew or an Orthodox Mormon or a family member of Opus Dei. Snatching someone off the street and throwing them into ICE blacksites does not become laudable because the religious sect is primarily composed of Africans and Arabs.

No, but you're a bigot for extrapolating from a few sentences of a book to ~1/4 of the world population. You've constantly been referencing tropes, cliches and stereotypes about muslim people that show you have a very flat and cartoonish view of muslims. You seem to be thinking that being snarky about all religions gives you the right to be snarky about muslim people. It is one thing to be snarky and dismissive about religion (imo still cringe but whatever) but being snarky and dismissive of people and their culture is something else entirely.
