The Shia - Sunni Problem arose shortly after Mohammed's death where there was a dispute on who should rule after him. This is a 1400 year-old problem. Not an Westernn Conspriacy!

The Shia are not exaclty deviant and you should read more before writing anything more!

How many times do you feel like a man is undressing you with his eyes (even though thats no 100% protectable against) islam works to reduce that. and by doing so adultery and fornication are reduced (how can you reduce either with girls walking around with tang tops and thongs! no possible)
There are other reasons for the veil and I can assure you that it is not protection but subdugation. Moreover Islam does not exactly protect women. Men are allowed to beat their wives, you know.

I will respond to this with this simple verse that tells you to "not to show any love or friendship to those who oppose Muhammad, even if they are [your]parents":

9:23-24

Believers, do not befriend your fathers or your brothers if they choose unbelief in preference to faith. Wrongdoers are those that befriend them.
Say: ‘If your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your wives, your tribes, the property you have acquired, the merchandise you fear may not be sold, and the homes you love, are dearer to you than God, His apostle and the struggle for His cause, then wait until God shall fulfill His decree. God does not guide the evil-doers.’
