The western culture offers sophisticated social norms, ethical values, and political systems — what does the Arab culture offer in contrast? The western culture is inarguably the most advanced and civilized there is in all conceivable measures of that; none can compare it in terms of technology, philosophy, science, law, politics, economics, and societal structures — where does the Arab culture stand at that? It’s probably been a little less than a millennium since they last accomplished anything of value in terms of thought, and they have themselves now largely abandoned their own culture because of inevitable erosion and decline. It’s unwise for any society to adopt a decayed culture.
