Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
Islam
means submission - submission to the command of Allah ta'ala alone,
not
to the whims and wishes of the disbelievers (
kuffar
).
The kuffar want to weaken/dissolve Islam by calling for "integration", in fact they mean assimilation. Assimilation to what? To their whims and desires, to their evil acts/crimes and to their disbelief.
"Culture" is taken into account by Islam to a limited degree, the term you should look for in the books of
fiqh
is called
'urf
. Ask a qualified scholar for the details, but keep in mind the following as a basic guideline:
Those cultural things that are compatible with the divine law (shari'ah) can be kept and those who are not compatible with it must be stopped.
And Allah ta'ala knows best!
Wassalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
