Hi Dondi

It is only my opinion but I think it is better not to live in the culture, there is too much 'culture' mixed in with the religion. Just look at my thread on female circumcision, that says it all, not an Islamic practice but ask anyone here and they will say it is. Look at how Saudi treat their women, yet most of that is not in the Quran. Most of the violent terrorist types come out of these cultures and when you read scholars opinions, the ones not in the 'culture' have much more moderate views acceptable to modern morals.
