You nailed it. I'm not constrained by the demonic logic loops that post modern thought throws the fools who adopt it into. Linear logic is superior and it was well put by The Lord which I'll paraphrase here- Judge a tree by it's fruit. If so then judge a religion by its byproducts in society. In the Christian dominated west we see so much prosperity and technological achievement in all necessary and unnecessary areas that it has lead to decadance. The middle east condemns our decadence (rightfully) but flock to our universities to learn in that decadance's birthplace. In the mid east we see a deeply ingrained societal love for violence, brutal sectarian violence, the complete degradation of women to the level of a beast of burden, laws based on harsh capitol punishment totally devoid of any grace, and to sum it all up trading card games featuring not sports icons but high profile terrorists/jihadists/suicide bombers. The followers of the Jesus, in general bring eventual prosperity and peace to a region. The followers of Allah bring the brutality and ignorance of the middle ages. All one has to do is compare Palestine with the American Republic, that region has been dominated by Islam for longer than the USA has existed and yet who is further ahead in all areas of human progress, morals aside?
You said -- "The middle east condemns our decadence (rightfully) but flock to our universities to learn in that decadance's birthplace."
The prosperity and success of our Western culture is the off-shoot of our Judeo-Christian heritage and its attendant thinking and laws and freedoms.
The Islamic "hoards" want to come into this same Western culture and take advantage of that same prosperity and success -- but yet -- turn it into the same society that they came from (in Islam). What they miss is that they will ultimately turn Western culture (if they have their way) into the same situation that they presently have -- a culture of death and "nothing."
A society like theirs (the one based upon Islam) can only produce death and oppression and failure and misery in society. That's what they have right now. That's what they'll get if they take over.
