The only substantial contact I've had with the moslem world is in the UAE.Long story short...although it's very,*very* different than anything you'll see in the West I can't say I experienced...or saw...anything that reminded me of the savagery that civilized people usually associate with the Religion of Pieces

The wife (or one of the wives) of the ruling sheikh of Dubai is the daughter of the late King Hussein of Jordan and is very Westernized (so is Queen Rania of Jordan). Princess Haya and Queen Rania may wear traditional dress at times but they are not forced to cover their heads, faces, hands, etc. and they mostly wear Western clothes. That has to be progress in the Islamic world.
