I have a question: Why does saying 'culture' and not 'religion' make the statement any less racist, over generalised, or incorrect?
What is this Western 'culture'? German, French, British, American, Swedish? Yes, there are some common threads that can perhaps be pulled out of them, family, respect, education etc.
What then is Islamic 'culture'? Shi'ite, or Sunni? Lebannese, Turkish, Bosnian, Indonesian, Iranian? Can this massively diverse group of these fall under one label? Perhaps they can. What then are the common threads that can be gleaned from these cultures? Family, respect, education....
