MPP - it seems to me that your criteria for "superiority" seem loaded in the West's favor. Not to get too far off topic here, but what's to stop Islamists from claiming "superiority" for more dedication to God's word, keeping things and people in their proper, God-dictated places and lack of any separation between church and state. I don't think that you can unillaterally declare we're superior because of some of the basic differences in the cultures. I'm not necessarily saying you're wrong just that I disagree with the path you used to get to your conclusions.
