It's not surprising to me that exposure to coworkers might make some Muslims more secular (or less likely to beat their wives). I have an Intel near where I live, and a lot of the techies eat lunch at my favorite Indian buffet restaurant. There are big tables of them, with usually several nationalities and cultures all interacting. I think this is really very healthy. If you grow up in a society where beating your wife is considered the norm, but then are exposed to a new culture where wife beating is not at all normal, more intelligent and usually better educated men who are not brainwashed may well consider the new information and act accordingly. The Muslim cleric or whatever he was who beat his wife is more steeped in tradition and ideology, and more isolated than the men who work at Intel. What I don't understand is why women convert to Islam. I wish someone could explain that to me. Whatever may have been the intent of the way women are treated as is set out in the Koran, certainly the every day reality for them is grim.
