It seems as though if you are western, that you cannot criticize other nations because of post colonial influence. The typical 'no culture is superior' defense every time we critique another culture. We seem to doubt ourselves. In short: we are too polite. I say we dismiss this ultra polite pleasantries and stand up for our opinions. The Middle East is a wreck. It is full of ignorant people who manage to get in power. The M.E. human rights records are appalling. Hypocritically, the Middle East seem to think that the west is some sort of cultural baron and yet the Middle East censor any alternative opinion that counters their culture. IS it any wonder why so many people from the M.E migrate to Western nations? Western society is more closer to Islamic law than any of those nations. The people of the M.E should not run away. They should stand up for their rights and change their nations because they are a wreck.
Today I heard about how a charity worker in Pakistan got killed because we didn't pay a ransom. Whilst I wont say that is typical, not everybody is a murderer, it's certainly not atypical. For a supposedly moral and religious region, they sure do enjoy murder.
