Whether it is modernization or secularization, it will weaken the control of religion, so religious people will guide believers to resist Western thought.
From a national perspective, although the West has brought modernization and secularization to the Islamic world, it is also gaining more benefits and spreading its own culture, so it will be resisted by patriots because they think the Western world is eroding them. Culture, while squeezing benefits.

Thus their culture is unsuited to certain liberal ideals, such as pluralism, individualism and democracy.

Q4: No. In that case, the end result could be a change of autocratic power in the Arab world, rather than genuine democracy. First, it is based on selfish reasoning as a tool for expanding Western hegemony and ensuring access to vital energy sources. Second, Western-style democracy does not work in other countries.

Thirdly, in other countries there is a need for appropriate political institutions to guarantee and stable democratic approaches.]]> 2021-04-22 09:58:58 UTC https://padlet.com/usictech/fwtborzbmmrtfjwt/wish/1446471277 group 5 https://padlet.com/usictech/fwtborzbmmrtfjwt/wish/1446491798 Q2:People in the Arab world do not share the general suppositions of the Western world.
