Yeah, hi.

I didn't say its universal across all Muslim cultures to do that. Its just a common courtesy in those cultures where they place emphasis on family or group activity.

IMO, muslim culture by itself is way too broad for anyone to define in a few sentences or even paragraphs. It varies substantially region to region, continent to continent.

Islamic culture is not the same as Muslim culture, yet it is certainly a common thread running throughout all these cultures and linking them all together.
