Its funny how religion obsecures reality perception.Heres what I mean. Suppose Islam wasnt considered a "religion", how would you then describe a culture where:
* The woman are separated from the men.
* Everything associated with feminity is literally stripped out of the society. No pictures of the female form anywhere ever. Articles like skirts, perfume, high heels, make-up are almost non-existent, and considered to be "wrong" by the vast majority.
* All heterosexual expression (kissing, hand holding, dancing, flirting, etc), outside the hidden and embarassed confines of the marriage houshold, are strictly prohibted and/or criminalized.
* Men commonly hold hands with men, but again, any such expression by between men and woman is majorly frowned upon.
* You could literally go months without ever seeing a woman, outside the timid and blanketed ghost people we assume are woman underneath.
