[QUOTE="ebia, post: 40219670, member: 76497"] Some are, some aren't. Having been to one of the most fundamentalist parts of Pakistan, I can assure you that nominal Muslims are as common in the Islamic world as nominal Christans ever were in 'Christendom'. Even here I know quite a number of Muslims who are pretty nominal about it. How would you know? A christian in private prayer is explicitly [I]not[/I] supposed to be showy about it. A Muslim in private prayer can't help being highly visisble. At the more traditional end yes, at the more liberal end, not really, but the ones that are visibly muslim are the traditional ones and that skews the picture. Again, I know a number of Muslim women who dress no differently than any other female in Australia. Incidentally, Pakistan is full of sleazy dvds of scantly clad female dancers - and where are these imported from... Iran! [/QUOTE]
