Who is to say that Western ideals are more moral or should prevail? Anyone who values reason over faith, knowledge over ignorance, science over superstition, industry over manual labor, self-interest over self-sacrifice, freedom over enslavement, prosperity over poverty, life over death. In the case of the individual who asked that question, I would hope that they would prefer to have the right to express their views on a forum like this as opposed to being censored, or worse. Muliculturalism is wrong. Anyone who cares about their own welfare should be defending and spreading Western ideas and values and those cultures that are not familiar with them should learn and adopt them. Regarding America's political system, it is based primarily on the ideas of John Locke, not Jesus. As to American culture itself, it is primarily a secular, Aristotelian culture. The influence of Christianity has not been dominant in the West since the Middle Ages.
