Akhi that is too true, people tend intermingle the deen with their culture! Islaam is a DEEN, NOT A RELIGION, AND IT IS A WAY OF LIFE! Yes, it's good to know your culture and be proud of it, but at the end of the day, we're one Ummah.
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اصْبِرُوا وَصَابِرُوا وَرَابِطُوا وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ
O ye who believe! Persevere in patience and constancy; vie in such perseverance; strengthen each other; and fear Allah; that ye may prosper. [Surah Aali Imraan 3:200]
