If I travel in the Near East, what will be expected of me,
a Christian man, if a situation arises where I must interact
with a Muslim woman?

Likewise, what conduct will be expected of my wife with Mus-
lim men?  Can she take certain specific actions to avoid
being thought a loose western woman?

I realize that this question will vary from region to re-
gion, and a variety of replies would not disturb me at all.
I would welcome it.  Any reply at all would be nice.

Thanks.
