Requirements: .ePUB reader, 0.6MB
Overview: A Defense of Western Civilization
In Why the West Is Best, Ibn Warraq offers a bold, unapologetic defense of Western values such as individual freedom, secular governance, gender equality, and free inquiry. Written from the perspective of a Muslim-born critic of Islamic culture, the book argues that Western liberal democracy remains the most just and humane system in history.
West vs. Islamic World
Warraq contrasts Western societies with Islamic cultures, highlighting critical issues like women’s rights, freedom of speech, and tolerance for dissent. He calls out cultural relativism and defends Enlightenment ideals as universally beneficial, not merely Western preferences.
Personal and Philosophical
This is one of Warraq’s most accessible books—less academic than his earlier volumes but still rich in historical and philosophical insight. Drawing on history, literature, and personal experience, he makes a passionate, sometimes provocative, case for why Western civilization deserves admiration, not apology.
