they not THAT secular
I always say Muslim countries have a spectrum of freedom and secularism.
Lebanon/Turkey closer to secularism
Libya/Syria (both before destroyed) and Egypt/Malaysia/Indonesa sorta after that
Dubai maybe in the middle
Algeria/Bangladesh/Pakistan little more traditional
Afghanistan/Iran/Saudi Arabia (15 years ago) on the hardcore Islamic tip
The real TEST I think is if the country does not arrest native women for wearing bikinis on the beach, but none of them are as free as the west in terms of adult content.
