If you need someone to explain to you why it would be bad for the West to die and be reformed along the lines of current mid-eastern muslim nations, I really don't know what to say. You don't find it obvious that Western Civilization is good and worth preserving?
- icebraining 15y agoFirst, I don't think there's a single Western Civilization; Europe is in many ways different than the US, even if they're both 'western'. Second, I don't think a change in the genetic makeup (which is what the projections point to) would necessarily mean the death of the Western civilization. In fact, the many Western values have already spread beyond the West, leading to miscegenation of cultures. The same would be true for an Europe with a higher number of people with different genetic makeup. Personally, I'm more worried about the loss of local values in the face of the giant which is the US, which has much more power to disseminate them than any Muslim country.
- rubashov 15y ago> I don't think a change in the genetic makeup would necessarily mean the death of the Western civilization A change in the genetic makeup of Egypt, Lebanon, and Syria from Christian ethnicities to Arab certainly lead to the death of those cultures. You don't understand that races and cultures are two very intertwined things.
- Steko 15y agoPlease some citations for this claimed major genetic shift.
- Steko 15y agoCome on, "changing genetic makeup" != "reformed along the lines of current mid-eastern muslim nations".
