Yeah this. I see nothing wrong with embracing both cultures. Italian-Americans are a notable minority who have kept a lot of traditions, yet are fully immersed within mainstream America.

I think a lot of those genuinely confused people are the ones who end up becoming hardcore Muslims. I’ve personally seen a lot of people who were moderately religious in Pakistan but become very devout once they moved to a different culture and couldn’t, or didn’t want to, adapt. Nothing wrong with being religious but a lot of people turn to religion when they feel like they’re losing their touch with Pakistani culture.

Not necessarily, I think of myself as a person who has a good balance of eastern and western culture but I can also confidently say my family and I became much better Muslims when we moved to Canada (I was 12 - no I don’t label myself as an CBCD - I wasn’t born here and I’m not confused either or FOB). I think the change of culture makes you ponder and think about “who am I?” Which in turn helps make the journey towards understanding Islam better. This has been my personal experience but I think it is true for a lot of people. Also, I don’t believe becoming a devout Muslim makes one incapable of being an active and positive part of society. Ofcourse like I said in my last post there are always exceptions.

Funny thing is when I said some people are confused I meant opposite of what you said.
