No, the difference is that I don't brag about history that is embarrassing. Muslims go on and on about how good it was, when it wasn't (unless you were Muslim). The West has gotten better. The Muslim world, exemplified by you, still longs for the days when they dominated others. To say Muslims civilized anything is a lie - Muslims are still not civilized today.
Having a Tea Ceremony, or a Coffee ritual, or nice tablecloths, or going to Mecca doesn't make you civilized. Treating your fellow human beings decently is civilization. Islam isn't there yet. You're still killing each other over whether Imam Ali was or was not the rightful successor to Muhammad.
And if taking kids from their families is OK (if it makes them better off), the West should seize 90% of Muslim kids - you'd have no complaint, since like Barack Obama (with a Muslim father) they could rise to positions of great importance, and unquestionably be better off raised Christian. Don't try to justify old evils, lest they be used against you today.
Again, call me when you have a Muslim country that respects human rights, in theory and in practice, including the right of people "born Muslim" to convert to some other religion.
Ouch! That is too blunt.
