Cultures are what people identify with. To those people, their culture is them. If you want to take away their culture, you are going to have to fight them for it. You can't, though. It's sad, yes, but there is nothing the west can do. To some, scripture and religion is everything.

Unfortunately, this is a case of diplomacy. Anything more, and you are doing something worse than they are.
