Muslims, missiles and Monica

Article Abstract:

The difference in moral attitudes between Muslims and people from Western nations is most evident in the case of US Pres Bill Clinton, who was charged with having a sexual affair with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky. While Muslims criticized Clinton for lying to his own people, his family and his wife, painting him as a man without integrity and honor, Americans seemed to have been unaffected by their president's morality, as shown by his continued popularity in public opinion surveys.

Article Abstract:

NATO was formed in the 1950s to protect Europe against the Soviet Union. During the Bosnian war, the Western world deployed NATO forces to defend the Bosnian Muslims against the Serbs and the Croats.
