well one of Huntington's "civilizations" is Islam. But the Middle Eastern Muslims are the only ones reacting to the cartoon. The Indonesian muslims (a very, very large percentage of muslims live in Indonesia and it's surrounding areas) aren't reacting the same way at all? Huntington's theory would have suggested that they are similar cultures and are thus linked into a civilization and would act similarly, yet the haven't. That's because they are more different than Huntington suggests. He lumped people into too broad categories to simplify his theory, when in reality such broad divisions in the global population is not realistic. People in specific states are more different than he gives them credit for, and it was seen in the reaction to the cartoon. |
