not so much the husbands...
the burqas, the above-ankle pajamas and the without-moustache beards anger and sadden me too... this is a recent trend and i think you and i have spoken of this before... my muslim is someone like gaddafi and al-assad and not some fool mullah from darul-ul-uloom deoband.
as to me opening a thread on this, sure, i will trying find a appropriate article.
and "medieval times" in context of muslim culture actually meant sophistication and contribution to technological and socialogical fields by muslims and those living in muslim-ruled lands and it contributed to the later european phases of "renaissance" and "industrial revolution" directly and indirectly... you should read about the "islamic golden age".
it was the post-muslim europe that went in the "dark age" during medieval times.
