You assume wrongly. My own wife (at 53) triggers that response in other men, because she's a slammin' hottie. It doesn't make me uncomfortable, I find it delightful. Ranjr is right - any man who feels otherwise is insecure.
Nor do I fear for her safety. Any man who puts his hands on her is likely to carry his trouser tackle home in a bag.

We grew up in very different cultures, you know. It's extremely shameful of a Muslim man to let his wife display her goodies in public, it's that simple in Muslim countries. The fact that you're fine with other men taking delight in your wife's body is simply a disaster, I am not going to elaborate on this anymore as I don't want to seem disrespectful to anybody's partner.

Quote the verse that says : "don't study mathematics", or "don't do science" from the Qur'an, go.
The word fundamentalist comes with many, many connotations, you might want to unpack it and say exactly what doctrine in Islam you think is anti-scientific.
We know that the first revelation ever that came to Muhammad is literally : "Read: In the name of Allah Who created, (1) Created man from a clot. (2) Read: And Allah is the Most Generous, (3) Who taught by the pen, (4) Taught man that which he knew not". [96:1-4]. It explicitly invites one to read and learn.
We know that scientific breakthroughs can literally make nations win wars, and since you think that Islam is an imperial religion, it's crucial -according to jihadism- that Muslims get on top of other nations and excel in science, isn't it ?
So, contrary to what you read in christian polemics, it's actually the other way around : the most extremist and violent interpretations of the jihad doctrine will actually welcome science and innovation.
