The notion of "Western Civilization" and "Western values" is utter bullshit that doesn't make any sense once it is critically examined. Like, really? Greece is Western but Bulgaria isn't? Despite both of them being Eastern Orthodox and a part of the Ottoman Empire? Spain is Western despite the fact that it is a country who was a Darul Islam for 700 years and had some of its most significant things come from the period of Islamic rule? But somehow Vojvodina isn't? And why are countries like America and Australia always praised as the result.of Western genius, but everybody is silent on Mexico and Brazil? Aren't they Western too? None of this makes any sense, the only acceptable use of the term 'Western' is as a shorthand for NATO/EU countries
The notion of "Western Civilization" and "Western values" is utter bullshit that doesn't make any sense once it is...
West=rich. Greece is an exception of democracy n shiet
Name one thing that comes from Cordoba.
Western civilization started in the middle east and has gradually been moving westwards since
Who says that Bulgaria isn’t Western? It’s a dump but it’s certainly part of Europe.
Western civ is basically a polite way of saying white/christian

Westerners only include Greece so they can claim the achievements of Ancient Greeks. It's all very superficial and irrational.

arabs didnt rule "spain" (which didnt exist) for 700 years only cordoba was held that long
spain was founded w/ the expulsion of arabs
its like you guys are fucking retarded.
China, Korea, Japan have always been more advanced than the western eurasian peninsula
>pedantry
Yeah uhm no
only granada, cordoba was reconquered in the xiii century
Al Andalus isn t spain, Spain were ONLY the christian kingdoms, arabs werent considerated neither spaniards or europeans. The went back the same way they came, and Spain returned to its proper, western european form.
And yet people don't want to consider the Balkans Western despite the same being true for them
You are a bit retarded.
Spain wasNEVER muslim. Muslims conquered main capitals in the half south and did some raids to the north. So, Spain was in the half north, and we wemt recovering everything until we kicked out invaders. So, Spain was never muslim because:
- It was never conquered fully. Far from it.
-Christians, aka real Spain resisted in the north.
-There was never a cemtralized muslim rule in the half south, just 3-4 big capitals that were muslim but they were like city states.
now THIS is cope
