Finally! Yes! You win! All cultures are Not equal, WEST IS BEST! I came to that conclusion quickly after 9-11 and have been saying so ever since. It is an out and out LIE that “all cultures are equally good just different” or that “all religions sprang from Abraham and are sisters”; one of the sisters wants to kill the other two!

We have bad people in our culture too... men who would do the same if they could get away with it. And that's the cultural difference. We condemn torture. Our culture - at least in the past - has had respect for the individual. The better parts of our culture are worth fighting for ...and yeah - we're better.

As far as the distribution of good and bad people in the world - it's probably closer than we'd like to think. But who's pushed forward to lead - and who winds up in prison are the differences we can thank our culture for... So far we've never had a pol pot, a Stalin or a Hitler. God willing we never will... We're culturally superior to most of the world and care about 'the good'... (with some exceptions - slavery was immoral - but we were one of the first cultures in the world to outlaw it. - how we treated the American Indians was shameful... but we tried to make up for it...Nixon was nuts... etc.)

I'm hedging here - but there are some interesting things about some Muslim cultures... not enough to offset the way they always choose thugs to run their countries...not enough to offset the anti semitism or the violence but some worth-while stuff... maybe some other time.
