Perhaps I was not making myself clear enough so let me clarify, the Islam is an absolutely beastly fake religion that has no morals. They are fine with pornography, prostitution, abortions, sodomy, raping and abusing women and children. A Muslim girl I know was locked up and abused by her husband for 3 months. All I'm saying is they have their way to maintain their standards and community somehow.

I've seen it all: Muslim women with full Islamic dress, muslim women without hijab, and even Muslims women with miniskirt and hijab.

Do they dress more modestly than Western women? Well, generally yes, but there's everything, don't idealize them.

Seems to me that some Catholics, including the Pope, are fine with pornography, prostitution, abortion, sodomu, etc. 

My wife knew a trad woman who was severely abused for 30 years by her husband before a priest finally helped her get out. 

All I am saying is that the grass is not always greener just because some fake religion seems holy sometimes. 

What should we do?  For starters, be modest, pray when eating out, watch the language, live Catholic.   

We trads are the example others should follow, not moslems.

Is it because they’re not tempted by the secular world at all?
The devil has no need to tempt the unbaptized; they're already under his control, tending toward hell.

In addition to the world (and its persons, places, things), temptations can also arise from the devil or the flesh.

St. Thomas condemns Islam.

I'm really tired of the Muslim fetish I've seen on this site.
Me, too. Muslims are unbaptized, thus under Satan's power. Islam's god (≠the Holy Trinity!) is a demon; "all the gods of the Gentiles are devils: but the Lord made the heavens." (Ps. 95:5).

Speaking of Mohammad, St. Thomas Aquinas wrote (Summa Contra Gentiles bk. 1 ch. 6):
Quote
He seduced the people by promises of carnal pleasure to which the concupiscence of the flesh goads us. His teaching also contained precepts that were in conformity with his promises, and he gave free rein to carnal pleasure. In all this, as is not unexpected, he was obeyed by carnal men. As for proofs of the truth of his doctrine, he brought forward only such as could be grasped by the natural ability of anyone with a very modest wisdom. Indeed, the truths that he taught he mingled with many fables and with doctrines of the greatest falsity. He did not bring forth any signs produced in a supernatural way, which alone fittingly gives witness to divine inspiration; for a visible action that can be only divine reveals an invisibly inspired teacher of truth. On the contrary, Muhammad said that he was sent in the power of his arms—which are signs not lacking even to robbers and tyrants. What is more, no wise men, men trained in things divine and human, believed in him from the beginning, Those who believed in him were brutal men and desert wanderers, utterly ignorant of all divine teaching, through whose numbers Muhammad forced others to become his followers by the violence of his arms. Nor do divine pronouncements on the part of preceding prophets offer him any witness. On the contrary, he perverts almost all the testimonies of the Old and New Testaments by making them into fabrications of his own, as can be seen by anyone who examines his law. It was, therefore, a shrewd decision on his part to forbid his followers to read the Old and New Testaments, lest these books convict him of falsity. It is thus clear that those who place any faith in his words believe foolishly.
