Why the West is Best: A Muslim Apostate's Defense of Liberal Democracy
by Andrew Harrod https://www.legal-project.org/2387/why-the-west-is-best-a-muslim-apostate-defense Excerpt: Why the West is Best: A Muslim Apostate's Defense of Liberal Democracy. By Ibn Warraq. New York: Encounter Books, 2011. 286 pp. $23.95. The pseudonymous ex-Muslim Warraq has turned his broad intellect and articulate writing to a defense of the Western civilization so wholeheartedly embraced by this British-educated, South Asian-American immigrant. Warraq begins his analysis with an admiring discussion of his adopted home New York City, a "concrete definition of Western civilization" with its millions of heterogeneous citizens flourishing in a mutually enriching, efficient cosmopolitan metropolis. Warraq then examines the superiority of Gotham's underlying Western ideals and institutions with respect to other cultures, and particularly to Islam.
