Well, I am sure that is part of it, but I was actually referring to how your local demographic population is going to exert social pressure on you to conform. For example, if you are an educated tech programmer and live in San Francisco and are the only Muslim on the block, there is probably going to be a lot of social pressure to accept homosexuality.
But if you live in a predominantly lower-class Muslim ethnic ghetto in Michigan there might be social pressure pushing you the other way. In other countries (eg. Britain) where Muslim populations have tended to become concentrated in less affluent, ethnic ghettos, attitudes seem to have shifted to becoming more culturally conservative; and I wonder if the same trends will happen here.
