The culture one is raised in obviously influences religious practice and interpretation to a large extent. Muslims in the west are largely secular because most western countries are secular.
What I more wanted to get into, was what factors you think puts western muslims at risk of radicalization, and why do they not become conducive to violent extremism when applied to non-muslims?

Never tried to argue any such thing
