Yes there is a lot to say... While you live in Islamic states, the government enforcement officials expect that the foreigner follow and do all those done by the natives. A number people suffered in differrent places due to this cultural misunderstanding. Some had left some good jobs and went back to their own countries due to cultural clash.

I live in a multi-cultural country and the people who are both born here and immigrate here find it hard to get along with each other. During the last 3 years more rioting and marches have taken place. - Pepper.

Ah yes, cultural adjustment in a new place is a real problem, for sometime at least, anywhere in the world. Conflict can happen in not understanding little things, like negotiating traffic. For example, in USA, traffic moves on the ‘right’ side of the road, while in Europe and in many countries of Asia, they flow on the ‘left’. So people who’ve just arrived from one place to another have to consciously be aware of the rules to not fall over their own feet, so to speak, and end up wrong sided. Much larger understanding and adjustment is needed with religious norms. In the Islamic Gulf states, for example, you need to be very aware of the cultural context to not goof up through ignorance. Like during the holy month of Ramadan, Muslim people fast during the day. All restaurants/food shops remain closed, and nobody, just nobody at all is allowed to eat/drink/smoke publicly during that time. Failure to comply could lead to being arrested.
