03/26/2008: "Modern western values repulse Muslims"

The Gallup data also show that Muslims make a keen distinction between modernity and Westernization. The surveys found that Muslims have a profound respect and admiration for the West's technology and for its work ethic; both are regarded as tools of modernity and avenues of social and economic progress for Muslims (p. 97). Having presented this finding, however, the authors warn it must not be taken as eagerness for Westernization. "[W]hile acknowledging and admiring many aspects of Western democracy," the authors write," those [Muslims] surveyed do not favor wholesale adoption of Western models of democracy. Few respondents associate 'adopting Western values' with Muslim political and economic progress."

[ Modern western values can only be associated with decline and degeneneration. At least the Muslims realize this ]
