66. My husband's rhumetologist is a devout muslim from Pakistan. Doesn't cover her head.

She also has a stylish long bob hairstyle, just wears "modest" clothes (never saw bare arms) with an occasional long scarf she drapes around her shoulders when she wears short sleeves. She, her surgeon husband and adult daughter (also a rheumatologist) share a large practice with a pair of Iranian Christian GPs and Geriatrics specialists.
Laughs and jokes with us all the time, has no problems at all with male patients. The only reason we know she's devout is that she schedules her office hours around prayer time and is only open mornings on Friday before she and her husband head to a local mosque.
There are as many different ways to view Islam as there is Christianity, Judaism, or any other hierarchal religion. It depends on the nature of the person and their personal spirituality along with the level of domination they'll accept from a proclaimed sectarian authority.
