Western societies are built on principles of liberalism and freedom. Based on teaching of ancient philosophers like plato, all humans want freedom. Liberalism is catalyst for national development. This is the reason West with fewer population controls world economy and institutions.
Arabs had opportunity to control the world during middle age but repression and religious control made it impossible toward the end of 18th centuries with rise of great powers.
West iare exporting their ideas to other nations though globalisation. Most protests around the world are influenced by western culture. That is the reason North korea ban his citizens from travelling out. With many Iranians, arabs, chinese and russians living and enjoying in western nations, be expecting more protests around the world in the coming decades. Ongoing Iranian protest is an example. @Elbinawi

Middle East and Africa were ahead with technology in the past until religion put a hold on it.

Not ahead!!
Middle East and Africa had their own flourishing technology in the past until religion put a hold on it. We were actually developing at own pace before interruption by Europe. Europeans ravaged Africans
and Middle East in order to survive. Famine, exploration, war and black deaths accelerated technological innovations in Europe.

What do you mean by "Not ahead"

The only reason Europe was able to interrupt was because Africa and Middle East fell behind.
Yes Europe did what they did to Africa, but the blame lies with Africans. Why did you allow them to chance you?

"Famine, exploration, war and black deaths accelerated technological innovations in Europe." Are you saying there were no famine, exploration, war and diseases in Africa and Middle East?

If you look at it, religion is the main thing that separates them. Even till today.

Science is the base, but some decided to attribute it to some devine power, instead of exploring further.

Go and read about black deaths. About half of European population were wiped out. They used to burn witches in Europe . What stopped that? Scientific reasoning. How did Europeans start reasoning scientifically ? Exploration for better life as well wars. Necessity is mother of infection. I think in Africa, we had everything in middle age and we didn't bother to explore or ask questions. Though we were developing at our pace.

The Europeans looked to Africa and the Middle East for knowledge. Yes scientific reasoning is the difference till today. If Africa will focus more on science and less on religion, we will be great.

The history of Math, Algorithm, Astronomy tells us that Africans and Middle Easterners were ahead at some point, not anymore.

They didn't look to Africa and ME for knowledge. Due to exploration, Europeans acquired information and knowledge from around the world. Traveling is a form of education. They used knowledge acquired to promote scientific innovation. They had system of writing. Most parts of Africa didn' have system of wrung until Europeans arrived. Greece, Latin are ancient European languages.

Do some studies and you will find out that the Middle East was the hotbed for knowledge and exploration at one point, that's why a lot of things used till today were invented there.

Google Alexandria library and middle east civilization.

That is the reason North korea ban his citizens from travelling out.

I disagree. North Korea is a dictatorial state and citizens will run so fast If ever allowed to leave for even Africa.

Iran wanted to develop militarily and allowed logical reasoning just to achieve that development. That's the root cause of the wokeness we are perceiving from Iran.

Oil dey your head. That’s why I tell people to look out for China. It’s a matter of time.The CCP would likely experience a great uprising that would lead to true revolution in China. Humans were not created to be suppressed and controlled. God would’ve made Adam a robot if that was the case.
