The Germanic tribes were culturally inferior to the Romans right up until the Western Roman Empire fell.
Even in its decadence, Western Europe is still superior culturally to the Muslims who will overtake its native population in another 100 years.
Islam may be an inferior culture in all respects, but its adherents have a self-confidence in it that the West has lost in its own culture.
