Islam is bedouine tradition, distilled from a slow stewing of semitic, persian and greek ideaologies, and then double fermented with centuries of expansionism and religious imperialism. But, and the big rub is, that when you had the chance for a reformation and a little bit of cultural transition, you buried it.
We in the west opted for market forces and liberalism , and threw in humanism to make sense of it all, and you guys stayed buried underneath godly fear.
In Britain, we are a liberal democracy, thriving on freedom of expression and individualism, and all though we moan about it, it's the best country on earth. We do roughly what we like, when we like, and contrary to muslim opinion, we are actually some of the nicest people about. Even when a few of get together and throw bombs about the place, we try to figure it out and be nice to you....
so...our girls like short skirts, we like a beer or two, gays run our country ... if muslims don't like it, go live in Iran!
