today's problem on a global scale
is the coexistence between our occidental renunciation of religion and the societies which have yet to recognize such renunciation
islam posits as a particular problem because they're our neighbors
they possess a particular familiarity of our culture
all the while holding a trauma against the occidental presence
which poses as a menace against collective identity
which led to the resurgence of fundamentalism we see today
there is approximitely one billion person who abandoned religion
whilst there is another seven billion person whom, in some sort, are forced to live with our abandonment of religion
by the means of cultural products which it has led to
science, techniques, economic reasoning
while living in a primarily different culture
which we, to a great extent, can't understand their societies
those which we named "third world"
and refer to it today as the "south"
without understanding the phenomenon of hierarchy
yes! they are hierarchal socities
just as how our aristocratic societies
were during the 17th and 18th century
wherein the patronage system between superior and his subordinates who depend on him
is still omnipresent
