It's still common among South Asians. V religious, praying 5+ times, reading Quran daily at dawn but hijab only during religious activities.

Yes. Though it has gotten a lot more common in the last ten years. In the 90s it certainly wasn't. It was more of an Arab thing.

All Muslim countries are more conservative today, universally. The whole niqabgate in Canada was led by a Pakistani woman.

Oh I'm not saying there are no niqabis there. There's been a lot of Arabization of Pakistani, Indonesian, Turkish Muslims recently for sure.

Well, Islam is an Arabic religion, so Arabization=Islamization

Also, important to note that many Arabs are not Muslim. So Arab and Muslim should not be used interchangeably. Definitely Islamization.

I actually meant Arabization of the culture, the language, dress & other non-Islamic elements. The Islamization was there before as well.
