how well does islam spread in the western world
changing the topic, i talked about dominant culture as did you
meanwhile saudi arabia seems to find it necessary to go to extreme and expensive measures to retain, only retain mind you, their understanding of islam as predominant in society
and the dominant culture globally is western culture
which is no culture at all
lol k
True. Western Culture is pretty... Gone.
how you figure that, doc?
What is Western Culture?
Starbucks, I guess.
liberal democracy, the scientific method, the philosophical legacy of the hellenists, enlightenment thinkers....
and yes, starbucks also
pop culture is also culture
high and low culture are both things
pop culture is the sewer
still culture mang
If you want to claim scientific method as part of a *Western Culture* fair enough I guess, but that has been under assault for a long time in the academia in favor of things like "lived experiences"
Its an insult to real culture
Liberal Democracy is withering away as we speak..
good
Liberal "democracy" isn't so democratic
and neither is it Liberal any longer
(((democracy)))
doesnt seem to be. the global hegemon is america and its pretty secure. its challengers? not so much. also "lived experience" might be talked about but i dont see it being used in the field by engineers
allowing criticism reinforces its adoption and allows it to adapt
scientific method isn't applicable any longer to a lot of subjects that are labeled Science is my point.
Christianity is almost dead thanks to that
the king is dead, long live the king
and there is a world outside of America so that is a meek point and an escape.
but america dominates that world
all round the world
its the same story
the globe bows to the standard america sets, not visa versa
no it doesn't..?
Islam has a strong base because its not allowed to be criticized
the führer is dead
Im not saying we should do the same
long live the führer
thank god for that
Because its just from one end to anither
