I wouldn't want to live there but I wouldn't want to live in Ireland either where the dominance of Catholicism results in things like complete bans on abortion until recently. I can't think of any religion which does not have a natural developmental pattern towards hegemony. A dhimma is one way to put a limit on that. It's better than nothing. Emasculating religion like the US has done is a better choice in my view since hegemony is legally forbidden but I don't know how widespread or long lasting that solution can be. Sociologists thought there was a natural movement towards secularization so the emasculating solution would spread around the world. That doesn't look quite so accurate nowadays.
