I couldn't see a direct link to islam. Instead it was mainly an "honor" thing.

The Muslim world is still stuck & drenched in an ancient cage, because simply the Ottoman Empire lost the last wars, along with its colonies siding with the west, to go through the humiliating cake-slicing of Sykes & Picot agreement.
What I'm saying is, Egypt in the 50s & the 60s was something else ; it wasn't like this. Turkey, another Muslim country, doesn't share this same culture. Malaysia is the same case.
Once you screw a region economically, the true colors of the culture would show up, along with any hideous cultural background. And again, you'll find countries like Tunisia, which escaped the fate of Egypt & other Arab countries.
I say, the more a country had a history of warfare that ended up with "defeats" & economical collapses, the more that country would evolve into something nasty.
South america has similar examples -even more brutal at some cases-.
