text: At least your consistent in being abysmally wrong.  Islam is as much a western tradition as Judaism or Christianity--between the three the latter was subject to the most 'eastern' influences (mostly Hindu).  I'm a product of western culture.  I like it just fine.  That doesn't mean I'm incapable of acknowledging its warts and rejecting its moral failings, any more than it means I'm incapable of denouncing crimes perpetrated by those identifying themselves with my Faith.  Your problem is you can't conceive anything other than lockstep acceptance of ALL western 'cultural precepts' and rejection of all others, therefore you're incapable of seeing anything OTHER than 'one-dimensionalsim' despite the reality I accept what's positive from many human cultures and traditions (including this one).  In short, when you bleat "projection" you accuse me of that which you yourself are most guilty.  And as for feeling 'inferior', once I stop pointing and laughing I'll try to respond to that.
