By way of "compare-and-contrast", we have The Amish, a back-to-the-basics, essentially ultra-orthodox christian sub-culture, that allows no education beyond 8th grade (for boys or girls).
This often conflicts with local mandatory education regulations. SCOTUS decided that the free exercise of religion trumped the benefit of universal mandatory education.
So a case can be made for asserting that secular governments often make accomodation for religious 'fundies' in the areas of education, health, law, etc. And it isn't limited to Muslim, Jewish or other cultural milieux.
