Is Western culture perfect? No. Is Western culture superior to other cultures? Okay, I am biased at this point because the answer is yes. Although there has been a huge degradation in moral ethics in the West due to the onslaught of Secular Humanism and Moral Relativity upon the influence of Christianity in the West, it is from the West that the world has experienced some of the best modernization to improve a person’s quality of life.
One of my favorite anti-Islamist writers Bill Warner has written that the foundation of the West is the development of critical thinking and the Christian Golden Rule. Critical thinking is related to reasoning with measured objectivity. The Golden Rule is related to treating others as you would have them treat you.
Warner correctly asserts that Islam is based on authoritative thinking and dualistic ethics (e.g. two contradictory things are correct). Although a public figure like Warner would not wade out to what I am about to say, here it is: In comparison to Western Culture, Islamic Culture is evil. Read Warner’s assessment and you will see I am correct.
