For instance, are there two swimming pools or are the hours for each sex staggered? What about restaurant dining? Are the sexes allowed to mingle? I was wondering that myself.

In fact in most Islamic countries it is the women who run the businesses. By tradition men worked in the feilds and women sold goods in the market place. A sub culture was formed by the handling of money in this way. Men are weak, stupid, lazy, and incompent. The Koran puts the burden of purity onto the women because she is the stronger sex. That is why it's the woman who covers her hair so it is not a temptation for men. The woman is not without sin. She did lead Adam to be cast out of the garden of Eden. Again that shows the woman's power over a man. While doing business in Egypt I learned that you need to keeping asking for who is in charge. The decision maker was always a woman. The culture may seem different, but it is still women who rule the world. Saudi Arabia is a different Islamic country because of the strong western presence there.
