I can attest to that; witnessing the religious police enforcing religious rules on Gulf Air flights during Ramadhan and the plane wasn't even in Emirates air space.

Don't forget that most Muslims in the Islamic world are also forced to worship endlessly or face the consequences of that. "Liberal" Muslims, like atheists, are often not tolerated because one implies the other. Not by their families, friends or society. Your ass had better not be seen outside a mosque on Friday afternoons! You had better not be seen eating or drinking from dusk until dawn during the month of Ramadhan! When someone gives you an Islamic greeting, you had better be heard responding appropriately!
