You cannot fight based on a better material/comforts/rights agenda alone

I do not think with Islam, saying that our society has better rights opportunities and material benefits than their society, will be winning statement

They are not going to deny that, but will contest saying that they have better morals, austerity and discipline than the immoral west.

Freedom to think or choose is considered a bad thing.

They think Allah already told them through Mohammed how to dress, pray, eat,....So one just needs to follow it to the letter and spirit. Why think of something else and more so if it may be un-islamic ...

Why all this experimentation when everything is already given

With Communism it was an easy fight, as it was more "which society provides the better goods".
