Good answer.Yes that is what i meant.Countries like Saudi Arabia beheading people and treating women disgracefully.They may not change their ways soon but the more middle eastern countries that lead by example may have influence over the really devout Islamic countries.Maybe Islam could very gradually evolve just as other religions did.

You read my link.It's a ban on 'sale and production' of them and imports.People will not be able to buy them anymore in Morocco.It's effectively a ban.The ones already in the country may get passed down a couple of generations but they will be gradually phased out as less and less people are wearing them.
