Jewish Law only applies to Jews. Actions that would be violations if committed by Jews do not affect gentiles. For example, many religious Jews hire a Shabbat goy to perform certain acts on the Sabbath which are forbidden to Jews within Jewish law.

this is what a radical muslim feminist looks like

If people dressed in yellow clown outfits and fake purple noses crashed into the World Trade Center buildings on 9/11 and were involved in the London bomb attacks, the Madrid bombing, the Bali Bombing, and the Mombai massacre, the last thing I would do is put on a yellow clown outfit and attach a fake purple nose even if being a clown were my profession.
