^Dear god, why not just wear a salwar kameez and sit in a charpoy chewing pan? Since adopting "western culture" is a disgrace? And stop using the "western" internet and stop driving the "western cars" and stop adopting the "western capitalism"?
Strangely, this logic never seems to apply to weapons. Nobody ever says, stop using those "western rifles" and those "western tanks
Man do I hate puritans.
And again, you're missing my whole point.
I did NOT say adopting the western culture is a disgrace, I said people completely abandoning their heritage and who embrace the western or any other culture to its full extent are a disgrace.
The Western society uses alot of critical "components" in everyday life which was founded by the Arabs and in particular the Muslim world.
The same goes for the Western world which has invented quite some things that the Muslim world/people now use or benefit from.
It's quite logical that in a country completely different then your home country, with different habits, rules and values, you have to adopt yourself, however, to what extent is the question.
Using "western-made" equipment is NO problem, moderation is often no obstacle in Islam.
The problem is, I've seen Indian people trade their passport in for an American one, continue to talk English even with people of their own kind, and they simply leave everything behind and try not to be reminded of their own roots because they embraced a different way of life, the American way of life for example.
For me, these people have a very low self-esteem, are weak, and obviously have no respectful background.
People should be proud of their own achievements and of their own "backyard" to put it simple.
