It’s not just that they’re Abrahamic. “Western civilization” if it means anything means “Abrahamic religion plus Greek philosophy” as the two main traditional schools of thought. India and China don’t have that. Islam does! They translated the Greeks and introduced it to the Latin speakers between the fall of Rome and the Renaissance. It would be like cutting Augustine out of Western civilization because he lived in Tunisia.
