walk
Took a walk in the 19th century this morning. Women wearing hats and children in what may have been 'Sunday Best'. Wondered aloud why western society gets all condesceningly superior in regards to Islamic 'primitivism' regarding attitudes to women and what they should wear in public. It was only recently that public day-time bathing on beaches was made legal in Sydney (1903). In time cultures and people are different, but across time they seem to be pretty much the same. With a different set of circumstances, the majority western opinion and practice could be very much different to what it is now.
The Muslim calendar started a few hundered years after the Christian one. Perhaps give them a chance to 'catch up'? The Inquisition was hardly civilised, and happened not that long ago (and ended far more recently than I imagined: 1834 ). By that measure, maybe Islamic Culture is actually doing a better job than yours?
