Yes, I also think that this culture is incompatible with the Western culture. Guess what, both Arab/Islamic and Western cultures are in a minority.

The only intelligent thing I can say about it is that Egypt is trying its damned best to become Western. It’s the first Arab country to have a peace accord with Israel, It’s getting aid from the US, and it has some sort of parliamentary government, although not democratic. These incidents don’t help much with those efforts.
