The synthesis of the Judeo-Christian moral heritage with the material and philosophical genius of Greece and Rome created a brilliant civilization that has - on balance - benefitted the rest of the world. Most of the non-Western detractors of the West - like Edward Saids and Franz Fanon - wrote their diatribes and rants in English and French respectively. Both of these nay-sayers only attained their status and influence thanks to their educations and social status that they were able to gain only thanks to the civilizations that they despised. On the other hand grateful non-Westerners who also benefitted from this civilization, such as V. S. Naipaul and Ibn Warraq have sung their praises of the wonder and glory of the intellectual freedom and progress led by the West. Shockingly it is largely our own Western elites who are leading the way in seeking to destroy this wonderful heritage.
