Hi, Not mentioned it in my post, but actually I put my camera down and didn't shoot the picture with the women in it.
But frankly, I don't intend to wander through the city with my camera, frame something interesting and each time have to check: "oh, would there be any muslim people in my frame, because then I should not take this picture?". So I strongly disagree with the second part of your message! But I do agree that it's a matter of courtesy not to shoot people who (for whatever reason) object. Of course this implies that you point the camera at them first, because they don't write it on their backs.
