I can agree with that, but my point was a larger one...
The question was : "how can America claim to be better than the Muslim world" ?
Of course we are better overall than the Muslim world...
We murder millions of babies a year, (legally, not that I agree) the Muslim world murder and enslave women and children, rape children, murder millions of people in the name of their religion ...
When someone says we are no better than the Muslim world, it smacks of "liberal guilt"
I feel no liberal guilt at all; I acknowledge that we’ve devolved into a much more murderous culture than Muslims could have ever imagined. When the Ayatollah came to power in Iran in 1979, his mobs sacked the US embassy AFTER attacking Planned Parenthood’s office; he knew they were the tools of the Great Satan.
