Your point that the strong family and communal ties may have played a
significant role in Islam's resistance to western values that tend to
encourage individualism and freedom is correct. It isn't only Islam where
this applies. This same phenomena applies pretty much across the board in
other societies, i.e., Mexico. The question this brings to my mind is what
comes first, the chicken or the egg. Is this phenomena the cause or the
result of some other factor?
