 No. Not at all..
That is a sign of them trying to over power your own beliefs and attitudes. One persons idea/thought is most defiantly not anothers, so how they can come to this conclusion is beyond me.
In a close knit family i can understand the need to keep it close knit, but at the same time where is the respect for the individual?
You stick to your guns and dont budge for no-one. What they are trying to achieve is selfish and unjust. families are important which is why it is important to recognise and respect other peoples beliefs.
To me it just seems a way to keep the family together rather than seeing the person as an individual and accepting another point of view.

 Normally extended family should not split.
There is unity that keeps people together.
You should not "argue with one person or a family member".
And if you speak out, it can become a topic for discussion.
Future events as a rule override any troubles of this type.
