One thing I will credit Muslims with - they are not hypocrites like most Westerners are.
Muslims believe in their creed and culture. Westerners do not and will hedge and yeah-but endlesslly. Yes, hypochrisy is a good thing in small doses - you don't want to disab ut se your children about Santa and the tooth fairy too soon - but the West has taken hypocrisy, betrayal and surrender way too far. Like Byzantine, the West imagines itself too strong and eternal.
But it is weak and ready to fall because it simply doesn't believe in what is supposed to stand for.
It will make no sacrifices for anything. That's the end for it.
Israel is radically different and will prevail. It's secret weapon is that Israelis have nowhere else to go. Israel is alive and aware just as the West is asleep and self-deceiving.
Yes, its true, what you say about ppl in the West, about the 'culture' of the West.
And many of us, in introspection, may tend to want to blame our political class.
But it is us, ourselves.
We need only look into a mirror.
The ppl who are our lawmakers, are us !
Yesteryear, the 'heathen' lived, we knew, in a nation over the horizon,
he was far, far across the ocean somewhere.
But today, we,
who imagine that we still possess 'culture' and 'values',
it is we, who are now the 'heathen'. ....
today,
it is we, who are the 'idol' worshipers.
A people without merit [....with little virtue].

What are the most important things in life? What do the
proverbs, the wise sayings of man through the ages, have to say
on this point? Let us search them. If we did so we would come
up with the following list:
- the basic necessities (food and shelter)
- a good wife (or spouse)
- good health
- a good conscience
- a good name
- wisdom, understanding, good sense, spiritual knowledge,
understanding of ourselves and life
Now let us ask another question. What things are most commonly
pursued by man? What does the common, ordinary man pursue in
life? We can list them:
- temporary pleasure (gratification of appetites)
- material possessions, wealth
- social position, being "important"
- friendship, friends, acceptance by a group

The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
16 The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
But you do not believe, in a God. ???
A God of righteousness, a God who is a judge.
