Some things are not worth trying. Cultural values & beliefs are rock solid no way to overcome that. You and I both know that this is next to never - as a matter of fact impossible.

Wasnt the culture at the time of the Prophet SAW to bury their daughters alive? And for women to walk around with ankle bracelets with no shame? To cheat, make money off religion, to worship idols, to be superstitious etc etc.

It's much much harder to convince someone that the idols they have devoted their entire lives to is false and has never helped them once, nor ever will, in fact worshipping it will send him to hell instead, than to convince someone that marrying outside your race isn't bad. Matters of religion is always more tough to convince people since they dont like to admit they've spent decades worshipping stone, or nothing.

If Islam could convince the Jaahil that his religion and culture is wrong, and turn him into a Sahaabi, why can't we change our culture?
