"The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact, non-Westerners never do. # Religion ~ Samuel P Huntington : " what is it with liberals and self hate, white guilt. the west won because we were smarter and surviving the ice age we weeded out inferior stock, unlike southern people. But don't worry that inferior stock is making a comeback, look at how they voted the last election

The West's values and ideas and religion are better nonetheless. "This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs." Charles James Napier Western values ended slave raiding, burning widows, binding women's feet, and improved the non-western countries they governed. Non-western countries are successful and humane and civilized to the extent they maintain western values. Rejection of western values means sinking into barbarism.
