|
|
Found an interesting article on the BBC website.
Two people saying wether they thing Islam is compatible or not with the West.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4204820.stm
Personally, i think it is a culture thing, the further east you go, the harder it is to be compatible with both. Turks(in the UK) seem to be OK being compatible, or am i wrong? But pakistanis(like the lady in the article) find it very hard. Im probably generalising, so it wont apply to everyone!
An interestng debate if nothing else |

| The case of Indonesia which is the most populous Islamic country in the world seems to disprove your 'Eastern' thesis Dhavre. |

| A lot of people in these islam countries know no better and if they were given the choice of western living and what they have now, i am sure Islam would be most compatible. :wink: |
