The answer is most likely that your culture isn't self-examining because it is based on Islam and any critical examination of Islam is blasphemy.

No different than a few of the "Christians" out there in the Creationism threads. They have their interpretation of the first two chapters in Genesis, and they let it set their entire view of the world. Won't listen even to another Christian that disagrees.

But Christianity in its foundation is a religion of personal and religious examination...

Islam is a religion of blaming other religions, other cultures, other people...blame anyone else but don't look inward or you might discover the truth about Islam.

Christians are welcome to hold on to any literal interpretation of the Bible they prefer. When they start blowing up children in the Baskin and Robbins I'll take back my opening sentence.
