I don't see any changes to Muslim standards. I see changes made to accommodate other religions, but that's different.

Personally, I believe this "accomodation" has gone a bit to far. Co-worker of mine just got back from Bahrain. I inquired about this and said the holy month he could not eat or smoke at his deck. Some other things as well. But, he was in the heart of the country that observes this so he did as the Romans would do. He certainly did not drag out his Christmas tree and hang a stocking on his desk on the 25th of December. He respected their culture and did not attempt to impose his beliefs in the name of tolerance or otherwise. He spent two years there. I'm sorry, but I'm a firm believer in assimulating with the culture as best one can without asking them to change their behavoir to suit mine.
