Under what banner would you place the thinking of the writer of the article? Do you believe that he thinks like a Westerner?
Or how about our President? Does he think like a Westerner?
What do you personally attribute for your method of discerning another's reasoning?
Are you not also a Westerner?
Maybe you're the one who doesn't understand the difference between western thinking and islamic thinking.
Can't help you there, you either get it or you don't
good luck! lol
