(O mankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes that you may know one another.) so that they get to know each other by their nation or tribe.

That was an Qoranic verse , I wrote it to refer that we (Muslims) don't have any problems to exchange traditions , culture , civilization , Information , etc...we want to coexist with others.
but , Is there actually exchange?
Is there exchange between the Middle east and the western area?
In my country , I could obviously see the American styles in a lot of matters , as the same European .
but I don't know Is there any Arabian styles in your countries?
For example , Arabian women take The American style in clothes , In hair styles , but you the western women thought in the Arabian clothes ( for sure away from religion) the Arabian hair styles?
The answer is , NO.
WHY?
another example ,
On one hand We In the Middle east know that the Western family suffer from huge problems , on the other hand In the Middle east families are so connected , Our Families Interconnections very good.
But lately some families take the disconnect from western families and form disconnected one ,
Why westerners don't exchange culture with easterners?
Why westerners want to remove the other's culture ?
Because of all these questions we face something called "Civilization's Clash"
that was some questions in my mind , and really I'm in need to know the answers .

Note" That is not a religious Topic , all what I said is AWAY from Religion , as we take your traditions without looking in your Religion"

Thank you. :)

I don't know how old you are or where you live, but I think you should read journalist Azadeh Moaveni's (http://www.azadeh.info/) Lipstick Jihad: A Memoir of Growing Up Iranian in America and American in Iran (http://www.azadeh.info/index.php/lipstick-jihad/) for some contemporary information regarding eastern and western cultures :D

Well, I doubt that religion is not going to seep in here, but we can see ;)

I'm very happy to see your comment again :)
I think that my age and my country won't help so much , Any way I'm not in need to read anything , because I could see it clearly in my country , and also In your countries.
but I'm still asking what is your real problem about coexistence and exchanging cultures?

I am not sure if "the disconnect" of the family -to use your own words- is such an issue..and even if it is i am not sure it can only be traced in western families ;)

Yes I think that you are right , but sorry it is not my mother tongue , so you will see a lot of mistakes , but your duty is to correct it also :)
