Do you believe women being forced into 'modest' religious garb and the observation of Ramadan are a part of British culture?
If you are a British Muslim then yes. We stopped worshipping the Sun and. Moon in stone circles some time ago unfortunately.
Oh? Which is the British part of Ramadan and forced modesty in the Muslim-British culture?
Pray tell.
That'll be the part where we try to be tolerant of different religions and faiths. After all we tolerate the forced modesty of Catholic nuns and Catholics have been commiting terrorist acts in the UK for at least 500 years.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.
When people say 'British' you think most of the world is picturing hijabs and Catholic nuns?
I doubt that.
East India Company, Fawlty Towers, Trafalgar, Admiral Nelson, Richard III, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, sure.
Halal food and Oliver Cromwell?
Probably not.

No I think most of the world is picturing Benny Hill but they have both been a part of British life for centuries.

Are Finns a Slavic people or Scandinavian?
Neither. They belong to the so-called Uralic language family together with Hungarians. Unlike the Germanic, Slavic, Romance and Iranian languages, which all are part of the Indo-European language family.
Are the Uralic people originally from Hungarian steppe and later settled in Finland for some reason?
Dunno. Probably not originally from present day Hungary. I'm guessing the reason they're called "Uralic", refers to them being from the Ural mountains region in present day Russia.

The Amish have their own culture, so I'm not sure what you're asking.
Are they synonymous with "American culture"?
No.
They don't join our wars, they don't share our history, they don't partake in our innovation and industry, they don't produce cultural goods that become part of American society, they don't embrace our values, etc, etc.
But they would be Americans - by Monte passport rules.
don't have social security numbers, don't pay social security taxes, don't register for the draft.
