I agree with that, many many Christians (and Muslims) are and have historically been secularists. Today there is a a growing sentiment towards secularism and resisting Islamism among young people in the middle east. Unfortunately we never hear about this because the faux-left in the west are too busy defending Islam to notice so many Muslims are being hurt by it.
I don't think Iran has the burqa, but they do have another headscarf called the chador, that doesn't cover the face but is still very modest. There are severe consequences for Iranian women that don't cover "enough" though.
Also I know you can have Muslim feminists and gay Muslims, but its the Islamist far right who deny they are real Muslims and charge them with blasphemy. they are the ones with power too, so they can dictate this.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
