The point of my badly typed message earlier was that Captial-C Culture is a much broader term than the splinter factions I think you are implying in your earlier response. If you are discussing Moslem fundamentalists who within that group have a faction who practice terrorism, then be clear about it. But don't suggest that being Moslem is enough to place a Culture on your world list of undesirables.

Also, what goes around comes around. If you are standing in your priviledged EurAmerican position while impacting the rest of the world in measurable and unfair ways, and don't recognize that the way we live is an incitement to riot, then you're missing a big part of the story. It doesn't start from where your eyeballs view the world, it starts behind you, way way behind you, and you're a part of the picture, even if you can't see yourself.
