45. At this stage of historic development, those who reject science, reason
and logic in Western Societies are largely failures who find it harder and harder to cope with the demands of our technogically advanced society. It is also undeniable that they are a vocal minority in our society.In Islamic societies, because of the rejection of anything Western as alien to Islamic culture, it has not been possible for many societies to adapt to an environment of technology, reason and logic, the socalled Newtonian/Cartesian Model.
When that becomes imperative, as it must when the demands of technology finally wake them up, they too will become embedded in reason. All I am saying is that at present there is no driving force in those societies to even adopt the views of the universe based on the Newtonian/Cartesian models.
