idians get offended when Pakistanis and Chinese say this to them...
Atleast , indians know it in their heart though...good.
Also , I think , Muslim Cultures are WAY stronger against the Western culture than some other cultures who remained imperialized by one force or the other..
Offcourse many young people across the Muslim world will follow global fashion trends , listen to some western music , and watch **** lol......but our "core" values are still intact, 'Mashallah'..
Muslim Cultures throughout the globe still have a very strong family structure..Ramadan is the most anticipated month of the year..people take Islam seriously....Muslims take IMMENSE pride on their history...majority of young people in Muslim world admire characters from Muslim History (Saladin , Umar , Prophet Muhammad , Khalid Ibn al Waleed , Muslim scientists etc etc etc) , Islamic Dress code is prevalent in society for the majority part etc ... So all this is good, I think.
I would be even better if Muslims develop their own strong film industries and Music industries...
In my experience...Muslims admire Western Science and Technology...which is great! We must admire the best of other cultures..
Western Culture is also famous for weak family structure , no respect for parents , indecency by our standards (Asian standards) , no traditional moral values regarding sex , pre-marial sex and pregnancies , youth indulging in drugs and useless activities etc etc ... Just check if these things are creeping in your India too...
